Skin Changing Antioxidants

Green or White Tea - when applied to skin, teas neutralize free radicals before they’re able to penetrate and do damage.

Vitamin C - it ups skin’s natural SPF, fades spots, and stimulates collagen. Vitamin C is unstable unless it’s coupled with vitamin E.

Sulforaphane - found in broccoli, it boosts your body’s natural antioxidant defenses and has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties.

Vitamin E - not only does it neutralize free radicals, but it also helps preserve cell membranes and heals the barrier, the first line of defense in prevent moisture from escaping.

Julep Nail Polish - Hartleigh

The holographic top coat has specks of white hexagon glitter, holographic glitter dots and red heart shaped glitter. The top coat can be use by itself or as a top coat. The glitter was a bit chunky and most of the red hearts glitter was stuck on the bottom. It took several tries it the hearts out. With two coats, the nail polish provided full coverage but the glitter does feel a bit rough. I usually apply a top coat to make the glitter less rough and to keep the hearts in place but it makes a bit thick and then the polish chips more easily. Overall, its nice by itself or as a top coat for roughly a day or two before it chips.
