Friends, you know that the reason I blog is to share and gain inspiration, which is why you'll usually find tutorials and projects here at One Artsy Mama. But one of my favorite side-benefits of blogging is that from time to time, I also get the opportunity to share with you about great products and companies I come across, and to give away some fun things! Today is one of those days!
A few months ago, I heard about a skin care company called AquaVie: Vitality from the Sea. Aqua Vie comes from Brittany, France, a beautiful region situated between the North Sea/English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. The Aqua Vie system contains the highest quality ingredients, many of which come right from the sea, to regenerate and revitalize skin.
I was intrigued by the products and chose to try the Clarifying Serum and Clarifying Cream.
For the past two weeks, I've been applying these twice a day; once in the morning and once at night after I take off my makeup. These two products are designed to work together to, as the description says, "safely and effectively reduce skin blemishes, pimples, acne, stings, red patches due to pregnancy, stretch marks, scars, sun spots and age spots. Skin will become smoother and more elastic."
My initial reaction was that both products feel incredibly light and fresh when I apply them, and that they have a pleasant but not overpowering scent. Neither product feels greasy, which is a nice change from some of the other things I've tried. My longer-term reaction is that I notice my skin being smoother and more hydrated. I tend to have very dry skin on my face, but since using the Clarifying Serum and Clarifying Cream, I haven't noticed that problem. I also think my skin tone has evened out a bit; I had some red patches where my skin was particularly dry that have now become much more even with the rest of my coloring. Overall, I'm very pleased with both the Serum and the Cream and will continue to use them.
When my package arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to also find some small samples to try of a few other products: the Gentle Cleansing Milk, Moisturizing Body Cream, and Eye Radiance Serum.
I found these to have the same qualities I liked about my original products; they're light and non-greasy, and they make my skin feel fresh, clean, and renewed. I think my favorite of the three was the Moisturizing Body Cream. In the winter, my hands get super-dry, to the point where the skin on my knuckles often cracks and even bleeds. After using the body cream for a few days, the cracks healed up and haven't returned...yay!!
I definitely like these products and continue to use them as part of my personal skin care routine. Which is why I'm excited to announce that three of you have an opportunity to win store credit to use for the product{s} you'd most like to try from Aqua Vie! One winner will receive $25 credit, and two winners will receive $10 credit! Rafflecopter will walk you through the entry process; good luck!
Hugs & Glitter,
I was compensated for this post in the form of complimentary skin care products, however, all opinions shared are 100% my own, as always.
