Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash

Photo Source - Olay

This soap free body wash is packed with shea butter. They claim that it has over 1 jar of Olay moisturizers, does that mean when they were creating this body wash, they were dumping in one jar of Olay?  The soft scented body wash provided a rich, thick lather. I noticed that I could get away using just a little of body wash and getting enough foam to wash my entire body with unlike other body washes where I have to used at least 3 tablespoons to get enough suds. When I used this during my trip to Florida, it hydrated my dry, scaly skin and my skin felt soft and smooth all day. I was even tempted to go without lotion for the whole day. But I didn’t because, if there is one thing I know, don’t cross Mother Nature or Faith, just when you think you got everything covered...BAM!..

Acure 100% Organic Moroccan Argan Facial Oil

I have many benefits of facial oil, after reading some good reviews about this product -- I decided to try it. I was going to try it on my face after cleansing but I had a seriously breakout and I didn’t want to chance getting an allergic reaction or make my acne worst. I decided to use it on my body as usually oil has more than one use. Upon opening the bottle and sniffing the product, I was  immediately was turned off by the rancid odor, I always though argan oil was a sweet scented oil. I guess, I was wrong. Upon putting the oil on my legs which suffer razor burn this morning [I know, why didn’t I use shaving cream I couldn’t find it until it was too late!] and it started to burn and I got a bunch of little red spots everywhere. I am guessing from the spots that got inflamed from this morning and made my skin on my legs very sensitive to the touch. The oil was a bit greasy and left a bit of residue. I had to wait for a while for the oil to sink in. Overall, I am not impressed, I say skip this oil and find another as the “oil market” is quite saturated with other products.

Smooth Viking Beard Oil, Balm & Conditioner

I received a sample for these products in exchange for a review.  While I did not have a beard, I gave it to my friend who has a full lumber jack beard going on. The three products can be used together for a softer and manageable beard or separately; it depends on how intricate you want your grooming protocol to be or how much product want to use.  The beard oil helps protect against an itchy beard and keeps the skin moisturized and nourish while keep beard hair neat, smooth, soft and tangle fee. The beard balm provides hold and shaping to tame even the untameable beards or just to give your beard a nifty do!  And the beard conditioner protects against dry brittle beard hair by keeping hairs hydrated. Both the beard balm and conditioner is packed with mango butter, shea butter, beeswax, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, argan and castor oil to provide skin and beard with a luxurious feeling.  My friend was super ecstatic to receive the free products and he loves how great they feel and work but to quote him "using three products a day is too much unless my girlfriend likes my skin and even then it is too much to remember". Overall, he likes the products and that they are affordable and easy to use but he just has to remember to use them!
