Hello again boys and girls, what’s up?! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent my weekend with someone who I really like, I also know he reads my blog so I’ll have to watch what I say buuuut you know when you meet someone and it’s just right?! Yeah, best feeling in the world eh? Anyway, moving on, I just recently had a chance to give Glamglow’s skincare and masks a chance specifically for pores and problem skin as that’s what the PR focuses on for the month of July – September and WOW is all I have to say, I will not be using anything but this skincare for a while I already know that! Lets take a deeper look at Glamglow and some of the best products!

My first Glamglow Cleanser tested is called Supercleanse and it is a Cream to Foam Cleanser. The rich Cleanser turns into a cleansing foam on contact with water, which reliably removes make-up, dirt, impurities and excess oil and refines the pores – ideal for oily and impure skin. Glamglow’s famous TEAOXI technology with eucalyptus leaf oil combines the Supercleanse Cream to Foam Cleanser with Linola oil, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, and two types of clay that intensively clarify and matt the skin; A mix of bamboo, Ubame wood and coconut charcoal is also wonderfully refreshing. The Supercleanse by Glamglow is gentle on the skin, my skin is not dried out by the application and then feels cleansed without tension.

The Glamglow Supertoner is a highly concentrated, exfoliating tonic with the Super Six acid mix and activated carbon for instantly refreshed and refined skin. The toner clears the skin with the mixture of six different acids by removing dead skin cells that can cause skin problems. The pores are immediately refined and clarified for an improved skin appearance. Shake the toner slightly before use and place on a cotton pad to cleanse the skin. Apply the Glamglow Supercleanser first. Also on the supertoner my skin responded positively.

The secret weapon is coming, the super serum of Glamglow. The Superserum is a skin-cushioned and gently peeling serum that removes dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is enriched with the Super Six acid mix, a highly effective complex of exfoliating AHA, BHA and PHA acids, which acts on the various layers of the skin to dissolve dead skin cells. In addition, the Glamglow Superserum promotes cell renewal and improves both the appearance of the skin and the skin tone. Added activated carbon clears the pores, while hyaluronic acid immediately moisturizes the skin. Use the serum after cleansing and before the moisturizer. You already feel when applying that this serum has a strong effect, so it is rather not suitable for sensitive skin. Anyway, I could see an improvement of the skin. When using beauty products with fruit acids and Co. you should, however, always pay attention to sunprotection

My personal all-time favorite face mask for impure skin is still the Glamglow Supermud, a very effective mask that will fight the polluted pores. I still use it at least 1-2 times a month to clean the skin pore-deep.

ZIIP BEAUTY – TAKE BEAUTY INTO YOUR OWN HANDS | MAKEUPxTHECITY

So I’ve got something really cool, I actually got to go to a press event for ZIIP Beauty and ask the creator, Melanie Simon, some questions and find out for myself what the heck makes this go amazing also why they decided to take away the video of the male, mine you I wasn’t a ZIIP user so I only heard echo’s of this video. I got to find out first hand why things are priced the way they are, and why ZIIP Beauty proves to put some electrical esthetician’s out of a job – a lot of celebrities are known to stop by these popular trend spots rather then going under the knife.

First of all, What is ZIIP ZIIP is a handheld electrical skincare device. The technology behind ZIIP is ground breaking – tiny, energetic currents are pushed into the skin through positively and negatively discs located on the bottom of the ZIIP. Envision a battery where there is a positive and negative end. The energy runs between the two polarizing ends and into whatever it’s in contact with giving it life; in this case, the skin. With regular use ZIIP will leave your skin, revived, refreshed and lifted.

What is it that you feel people need ZIIP? Well, as the aging process kicks in, or acne causing bacteria is a growing concern for you, the skin starts breaking down, due to overly washing your face or due to lack of collagen production. One of the key factors is decreased ATP production – ATP is nicknamed molecular currency because it’s used to produce collagen and elastin in the skin. ZIIP increases ATP by up to 500%

Another mentality ➡️ ZIIP infuses the skin with specific waveforms to create ATP, as a result, the user will produce more ‘youth proteins’ to create more beautiful and healthy skin. Excess ATP can’t be stored in the body, using ZIIP one to three times per week allows the user to create more collagen and elastin, heal tissue, stimulate lymphatic drainage, increase blood circulation and diminish bacteria in the skin.

Check out my previous post where I touched base on ZIIP and the different types of treatments that you sync right to the device from the APP RIDE OR DIE PRODUCTS | MAKEANDTHECITY

Compulsive indulgence? ZIIP is proudly made within the USA, where modern technology and beauty intersect. ZIIP has offices in San Francisco Bay area, the epicenter of young tech companies, and LA. ZIIP is available online, Barney’s New York, Violet Grey, Neiman Marcus, Revolve.com, and other retailors. ZIIP sells for over $500.00US.

I have a nose ring, when I use ZIIP I take it out, do I have too?
No you don’t have to take it out if you do not wish to, ZIIP can be used with metal piercings/implants; however, the piercing area should be avoided as much as possible as you may feel a “zinging” sensation if the probe touches anything metal.

What happen to the video that featured a male showing how to use the ZIIP, Why was it changed to a woman?
It’s best to avoid using ZIIP on areas where there is facial hair. The hair acts as a blocker to ZIIP’s electrical currents so we thought it best to change the outline of the Quick Fix video your are speaking of. We recommend using ZIIP on a clean-shaven face, but if you do have a beard and/or mustache, you can adjust any of the electrical treatments to avoid those areas, or use the Quick Fix or VitalEyes electrical treatments, which do not include the lower face and jaw area.

The conductive gel is kind of.. pricey for this day and age and you have to use a lot of it, how long does a bottle last?
2-5 months. We also offer a Silver Treatment for only $50 vs. $150

The PR package received was very beautiful and presented very well, is there a difference between PR send outs and what a consumer will receive?
Absouloutly not.

Well, what do you think? Will you order a ZIIP or save up to get one? I will say the Instant Gratification treatment is my go to before getting ready before I getting ready to out, Quick Fix and, Energize are my night in treatments and every couple days, Total clearing. I am giving this device full run down and putting it to the test, I will say that I’m not to sure that I agree the conductive gel will last five months. I will add updates to this post as they are needed.

➡️ Boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel

If you’re looking for a skincare product that will leave you with a healthier-looking complexion, check out this peel gel. It has a lightweight formula that delivers gentle, physical exfoliation to help skin feel softer and look brighter.

This Boscia peel gel works to physically lift away the outer dead layers of skin. It’s infused with jojoba, which helps prevent free radical damage, and Willowherb, which helps calm skin inflammation and reduce visible redness and irritation.

➡️ Boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer

Although cacti tend to grow in hot and dry temperatures, this lightweight moisturiser was formulated to give thirsty skin a sip of hydration. With extracts from the Queen of Night Cactus, it will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple with each application.

The fast-absorbing solution helps improve the moisture levels of combination and oily skin. For the ultimate night of pampering, start with the Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser and then throw on a Boscia Matcha Mask before finishing with this moisturizer.

➡️ Boscia Green Tea Moisturizer

Gentle yet effective, the Green Tea Oil-free Moisturizer soothes and nourishes your skin. It treats oily skin while providing a mattified smooth surface for makeup application.

Backed by scientific studies, Japanese green tea is proven to significantly reduce sebum production by balancing over-producing receptors in the body.

As a result, and with regular use, this moisturizer reduces the amount of breakouts caused by bacteria. To make it even more effective, the infused burdock root helps absorb excess oil to prevent shine throughout the day.

This Boscia skincare review recommends this plant-based brand that uses high-quality ingredients. Boscia’s products are also 100% vegan and cruelty-free, without any harsh chemicals or toxins hiding in the ingredient list. The company is also dedicated to sustainability with its recycling program.

The Modern Shield I love so much, it’s more like a finisher to your skin care

A one-stop skin protector
The back-bone of your day to day skin defence, it works like an environmental shield
Protects from high energy visible light from computers

Offers protection from infra-red radiation

Life is sometimes complicated for our skin to deal with. Step out of the door and ever-changing weather – sharp sudden bursts of sunlight followed by low-lying clouds for example – can create situations where our skin is damaged by the sun’s rays one minute and then absorbing pollutants from traffic fumes the next.

How does it work boys and girls?

Ormesia is the active ingredient found in AENEA Modern Shield, with extraordinary powers to protect the skin from indoor and outdoor pollutants. Derived from a climbing vine native to South America, the Maracuja plant is well known for its fruits which are used in food and medicine. It’s better known as the passion flower and loved for its beauty, juice and scent.

Rich in antioxidants, the Maracuja plant oil has the ability to strengthen the skin’s fibroblasts, increasing the elastin and collagen found naturally in the skin, and making it more able to withstand aggression.Offering protection from airborne pollutants, it also detoxifies and prevents against sun damage, activating your skin’s self-defence mechanisms and revealing its natural radiance. Crucially it also helps to inhibit the skin’s natural reactions to high energy visible light from our computers and supports the cell’s DNA.The Modern Shield is the perfect hero product to protect from the effects of sun damage and UV rays on the skin (amongst other things) using the most up to date vegan and anti-ageing ingredients and formulations.

Lifestyle Enhancer

Protects your skin from ageing caused by oxidation
Keeps your skin youthful and elastic by fighting glycation
Helps reduce wrinkles and lines
Increases skin firmness

AENEA Lifestyle Enhancer is a skin serum which works a bit like a booster for your daily beauty regime to tackle the effects of glycation. What is glycation exactly? Technically it’s the process by which the structure and activity of proteins within the skin becomes slowly stiffer, leading to the collagen and elastin becoming less elastic, a well-known cause of premature ageing.

Another way to understand glycation is if you think about what happens when meat is cooked in a frying pan. As it is exposed to heat, the natural sugars in it become more rigid until finally the steak is hard.This is what happens to our skin when it is exposed to the ageing rays of the sun – it’s slowly glycating. As the sugar molecules react with free amino groups of proteins, irreversible cross-linked molecules are formed, modifying the structure of our skin and making it appear more brittle and stiff. It’s an irreversible process, causing yellowing of the skin, and a loss of elasticity and suppleness. Made worse by high dietary glucose levels, and by natural ageing, it has an overall detrimental effect on the visible appearance of our skin.Those would be my absolute two favourite from the hero collection and i know without a doubt anyone given the change to get tone of my two favourites will have their skin changed almost over night – it is absolutely unbelievable i stand behind any of the products that i review and it takes me a long time to review the skin care and in sure that its right for me, men and woman!  this brand had changed my skin care game in so many ways! It’s funny because I used to struggle and struggle just like all of you trying to find the right brand for me and I would always be told the ingredients are the same is exhibit a vs. exhibit b that is so far from the truth and we all know it, we get what we pay for! plain and simple.Please check out their website here  HOUSE OF AENEA

So take out your spell books with me, oh – did i say spell book? of course I meant cook books, plants and what they are capable of.

A lot of our beauty woes are because after the age of 35, our body starts producing less and less collagen. That means our skin loses firmness and gradually starts to wrinkle and sag. Many of us try expensive cosmetics, supplements and even surgical procedures when the best solution might be much simpler.

➡️ Some of the most basic foods can do wonders for our skin.

The first magic food is actually bone broth, and don’t be like yuck, yes, it sadly tastes worse then it sounds but lucky for you there are ways nowadays to make almost anything taste amazing and besides the effects it has on the skin in as little as a week is wonderful – when you eat bone broth, you’re really eating cooked collagen. This is a powerful way to restore collagen in your skin and make those wrinkles disappear. Sure, you could find a lot of products with “collagen” on the label, but dietary collagen is more potent — it mainlines collagen to your cells.

Additionally, the gelatin derived from the collagen you get in bone broth heals your digestive tract which is a surefire way to prevent inflammation and aging skin.

Believe it or not, the next one is very, very easy, Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale offer antioxidants that protect against the free radicals that breakdown collagen. Red veggies like beets, tomatoes and red peppers are full of lycopene, which boosts collagen and protects against sun damage. Orange produce like carrots and sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamin A, which restores collagen that’s been damaged.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ Different types of fish and grass fed meats will help also but i don’t want to get to much into animals and such as I can’t find any non-harmful ways to get the ingredients needed so if interested please google it, or read a chefs food dietary.

➡️ Berries of all types they’re all loaded with antioxidants that fight those skin-ravaging free radicals while boosting collagen.

Next will help with three things, your skin, keep vampires away (sorry twilight fans) and also maybe make someone not want to kiss you, yes I’m taking about garlic boys and girls, Garlic offers lipoic acid and taurine, both of which help rebuild damaged collagen. It’s also an excellent source of sulfur, an essential part of collagen production.

So the next time you’re tempted by an ad for Botox, grab a big bowl of bone broth and a handful of berries instead. There are lots of foods out there that can help keep your skin beautiful and youthful from the inside out, but just getting plenty of these basics will be a big improvement for most of us.

I hope you enjoyed this different type of post, I’m going to be throwing in different styles of posts as more things beauty and city related have become more relevant and have also peaked my interest!
