I have always tried to be nice to my skin and keep it healthy by using a gentle cleaners and keeping it moisturized but there is really more to it then that. As we age our skin tone changes, sometimes we get blemishes, dry patches, uneven skin tone and wrinkles. It is best to start looking after our skin from a young age. I was recently approached by OZ Naturals skin care company to try out a couple of their serum.
About OZ Naturals 20% Vitamin C Serum:
- Proven to stimulate the synthesis of collagen which makes your skin appear years younger and more vibrant. - Antioxidant properties that will reduce skin damage caused by the sun, pollution & cigarette smoke. - Vitamin C helps to stimulate your skins rate of exfoliation for a brighter, smoother complexion. - Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - Boosts Collagen Production For An Instant Youthful Appearance
- Vitamin C Serum Contains an Amino Complex and Hyaluronic Acid For Superior Anti Aging Effects
Since using this product I have noticed that my skin is looks more vibrant and has a smoother appearance. It is super easy to use, the bottle comes with a dropper inside. You only need a few drops for your whole face and it smooths on really nice. As long as you put on a thin layer than it doesn't leave your skin sticky. There really isn't a smell to it which is great as it is on your face and that is one thing that can really effect allergies. It is made with 98% natural ingredients. I really do like this product and look forward to trying others by OZ Naturals.
You can pick up a bottle on Amazon ~*Disclaimer: This post was written by Genuine Jenn. I received the above products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are honest and my own.*~
I have fairly clear skin with little blemishes but I do suffer from dry skin especially during the winter months and the change of the seasons. I know we are heading into spring and dry skin shouldn't be much of a problem anymore but for some people it is. I work in the health care field and wash my hands ALL the time! While washing with some of the harsh antibacterial soaps I get extremely dry and itch hands. Not a great feeling at all.
I have used a couple of these products in the past and a few of the people I support have used them also as they have been recommended by their doctors.

I will admit to being horrible at moisturizing my face but
since using the Spectro cream I have been moisturizing at least once
daily and have found my skin to be much softer and less stress dots
(blemishes). I love the Spectro cleanser and cream and can see myself using it year round as it doesn't have a fragrance. It isn't harsh on my skin, it leaves feeling smooth, clean and moisturized.

Oh my goodness I can't believe I have never seen or used this cream before! I am in love with this cream. You only need a small amount each time as it is a barrier cream and very thick. It helped heal my dry and cracked knuckles better than anything I have used in the past and I have tried a lot. I love that it lasts through a few hand washes. I had cracked knuckles so bad when I started using this cream that they were bleeding each time I put them in latex gloves for working. They hurt so bad but after using this cream all weekend at work my hands looked and felt a million times better. I now carry it in my purse everywhere I go. I also love that it doesn't affect my manicures! Bonus!

This is the cream I have used for years with the people I support. I was first introduced to it back in 2003 as a cream I needed to apply to a few individuals on their dry cracked heels. It helped a lot with their heals and other dry areas of skin. Again you don't need a lot when applying and it makes your skin feel uber smooth!

Life seems to always be busy, we have all said it before "there are never enough hours in the day". Time to spend with the family, do hobbies, rest or sleep, really what is sleep? I feel as each year passes my life gets busier. Now I know I am not the only one that feels this way.
To celebrate the relaunch of Ivory in Canada, a recent survey was taken and Canadians said financial management/budgeting, household chores and preparing meals are things that most complicate their lives. Ivory is asking Canadian's to enjoy the pure and simple moments in life taking time for yourself and doing something you enjoy each day. Maybe that is picking up a book, tucking your kids into bed
or enjoying a special dinner with friends or your spouse.

I am a BzzAgent member and we get fun perks of reviewing great products like Burt's Bees! I reviewed their Blemish line a while back and loved it. Burt's Bees has been making natural face care for over 25 years!
As a person in the health field I am continully washing my hands. Even when I am not at work, my hands are always in water either washing dishes, bathing the kids etc. The winter is the worst! My hands get all dry and cracked and same with my feet this year. I find most creams you need to reapply over and over again as my hands just soak it all up.
Just recently I have been introduced to George's Cream made by a Canadian! George Doherty is a pharmacist from Alberta. George came up with his cream in the kitchen of his home using his wife's cake mixer over 15 years ago!
George's Cream comes in two kinds - George's Special Dry Skin Cream & George's Light Moisturizing Lotion. These creams do not contain Urea, Lanolin or Parabean. They have been specifically made to be hypoallergenic and fragrance free. They contain no additives, irritants, fragrance or coloring to make these great for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

It also helps give immense relief for people suffering from Eczema, Psoriasis, Sunburn, Windburn, Cradle cap, Flaky skin, Winter itch, Radiation therapy, tough elbow skin, swimmers itch, sport chafing, foot problems including those associated with diabetes, dry hands and cracked cuticles.
George's Light Special Moisturizing Lotions:
This cream is a lighter form of George's Dry Skin Cream. It soothes and protects program skin. It is gentle for everyday use even for people with the most sensitive skin. This
This stuff really does work! Of course I was so excited to use this stuff and get rid of the dry, cracked skin on both my hands and feet I didn't think of taking a picture. Just believe me when I say I do love this stuff. The dry skin formula is AWESOME! It immediately got rid of the dry skin between my fingers which were killing me.
Also my feet were very embarrassing! They now look just about normal again. They don't look white and cracked and hurt way less. I love that it goes on nice and smooth and stays on. I put it on my feet in the morning and that night I got in the shower and I could feel it on my feet. I will be asking my local Shopper's Drug mart to bring in George's Cream so I have very easy access to this great cream.

As a child getting closer to puberty we just can't wait to grow up and do all the grown up stuff like shaving. Then when we do grown up I am sure everyone else has felt the same as I have and think shaving can be a pain in the behind. With that in mind, we all look for easy and quick ways to get rid of the hair on our legs. I have tried the Epilator, the sugaring and regular shaving, all have their pro's and cons. I was very excited to try out the NewNair Shower Power Max.
Nair Shower Power Max is a lotion based hair remover specially formulated for thick, coarse hair. It comes in a pump bottle that is easy to close after use. It contains soothing Lavender and Vitamin E to leave legs feeling smooth and soft. This can be used on body, underarms and legs.
Did you know that Nair Shower Power Max was voted 2011 Best New Product, this survey was done with BrandSpark Canadian Shopper Study, where consumers were asked to vote on 169 products in 55 categories.
With Nair Shower Power Max all you do is apply a thin layer of lotion to your legs wait at least a minute before entering the shower. When you get in the shower try to not get into the direct stream of water for another 2 minutes. I waited 2 minutes before getting into the shower then only had to wait another minute. When the time is up rinse your legs with the shower. Volia! Hairless legs and so easy.
I usually shave once a week or every 4 days in the summer so I waited almost 3 weeks worth of growth to see how well this product would work. I am not a hairy legged lady to begin with.
So here is the hairy leg on the left and the right leg is fresh from hair with Nair. I jumped the gun and didn't take a before of the Right leg. So sorry, I hope you all can forgive me and take my word that it was as hair as the left. I know it isn't the best picture.
End results? Very good hair remover! Almost all gone on the first try. I believe the stuff that is still left was more my oops as it was a few hairs near my ankles and a couple on my leg. No irritation which is great as I have sensitive skin when it comes to some of the hair remover products. My legs are silky smooth. I feel it is best to leave it on for a couple minutes and then get in
the shower to give it tons of time to work before getting it wet. This just may become a favorite in my house. I don't know how many applications are in this bottle but with the price of razors and shaving cream it may be comparable in price. I will look into this further of course.
Retails for $14.99. It can be found with the shaving products in Wal Mart, Shopper's Drug Mart and Loblaws.
Visit Nair for information on all their products and product coupons up to $2.00 off. Nair is also on Facebook.

Philips SatinPerfect HP6570 Epilator
Product Features:
Philips Satin Perfect Hp6570 comes with extra-wide epilation head to remove more hairs in one stroke - Wider than any other Philips epilator
Two speed settings and uniquely textured ceramic discs lift and gently remove even finest hairs
Pivoting performance cap for optimal skin contact and built in Opti-Light that reveals even the finest of hairs
Washable head for optimal hygiene and a luxury travel bag ideal accessory for travelling
The active hair lifter with subtle vibrations lifts even flat lying hairs while the active massaging system stimulates and soothes the skin
I recently got a invite to review the Philips SatinPerfect through BzzAgent, I jumped at the opportunity of course. Any way to remove hair and not have to do so much up keep to keep it off is a great idea to me! I really don't like shaving, but I am also a bit lucky in the sense I can usually get away without shaving for a week.
Right away when the epilator came in I pulled it out and prepared myself for my first epilating experience. I will admit the first few time or maybe even a handful of times it does hurt abit for me. I am a wimp sometimes. Remember this is removing hair from the root. It was hard to take near the ankle and upper leg. I epilated weekly the first three weeks and then let it go for three weeks. It was much lighter and finer than before. I am in love with this new toy of mine. I can't wait for the summer. I am epilating every couple weeks but I am sure in a few months I will be able to go a whole month without epilating. The hair is very fine now.
I do still have abit of problems with epilating around my knees but with time and practice I am sure this will become much easier. I recommend trying the Philips SatinPerfect Epilator if you are looking for another way to rid hair on your legs.

Most of us have had them especially in high school. If we were the lucky ones we only got them once in awhile but some people have battled them for life. Yes, I'm talking about those pesky pimples. I had pretty good skin growing up but if I was stressed or a change in my diet I would break out mostly with big pimples
I had the opportunity to try a new line from Burt's Bees called Anti-Blemish. I tried the daily cleaners and the spot treatment. These are the first and only all natural anti-blemish solution available. It is made with Willow Bark Extract. Along with Evening Primrose and Beet Root Extracts all these natural ingredients help care for troubled skin resulting in clear and healthy-looking skin, naturally.
Review: Of course when I got the chance to try this amazing anti-blemish solution I only had a few small breakouts! I will say it was a great cleanser and left my face feeling really clean. It helped with my small pimples for sure leaving it clear. My husband tried it also on a big pimple and it helped it go away in a few days. I am very satisfied with this product and will continue to use it regularly.
Where to Buy: Burt's Bee is sold in selected Pharmacies, Superstores/Loblaws and available online at Burt's Bee
