Adovia Dead Sea Mud Soap Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

First things first, yes, this is something I got for free in exchange for an honest review. It's my opinion and is completely honest. Now, let's start!

This bar of soap is supposed to help relieve acne, psoriasis, and eczema symptoms, and since I do not actually have any of those, I gave it to my son, who has acne, to try and give his opinion on it. I'll include it right after I write my own observations.

My review:

It's a relatively small bar. It's probably about the size of your palm. It has a dark gray-green color and feels smooth to the touch. The scent is interesting and I'm not sure what it is, but it seemed a bit lemony to me. It doesn't lather much on my skin and the lather is rather clear. It feels like it cleans well and my skin felt smoother and softer after use. It didn't react to my skin or anything, so I was happy about that. Overall, I liked it.

My son's thoughts (directly quoted from him):
"This all natural soap leaves your face feeling clean and refreshed and does not clog your pores. The smell is pleasant and somewhat earthy. Unlike other all-natural soaps, this soap does not cause irritation. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to control breakouts."

So this is our review for this soap. I'm sorry it's so short, but I hope that it was helpful and if you ever have a question, feel free to ask.

If you'd like to purchase this soap, simply go to the amazon page here and purchase.

Valentia Even Glow Serum Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
First off, I got this for free in exchange for a review. Honestly, I know I've been doing a lot of these and I'm sorry if you don't really want to read these sponsored reviews, but I do promise that whatever the item is, regardless of whether or not it is sponsored or not, I never write anything other than what I truly think about it. Now, let's get started.

I received the opportunity to try Valentia Skincare's Vitamin C Serum or Even Glow Serum recently and this is what I thought about it.
First of all, a brief description of what it looks like. It's a dark amber, glass bottle with a glass eye dropper cap. The serum has an orange color and is slightly cloudy/murky. It is also slightly thick in terms of consistency.
The serum is supposed to even skin tone, increase glow & radiance, boost collagen production, and reduce wrinkles & fine lines.
My experience:
It smelled slightly citrus-y and was slightly sticky while applying. It seemed to absorb quickly and completely into my skin leaving it dry and smooth afterwards. I only needed a few drops to completely cover my face and a few more for my neck. There didn't seem to be any immediate effects, but my skin may have gotten a bit brighter. After applying, I used a cream moisturizer that I actually mentioned before on this blog made by a company called Limerance Skin Care (if you want to search it on my blog, I wrote a review on it) and for some reason, the serum reacted with it and caused flakes to form with it. The flakes weren't visible, but if I rubbed my skin at all, I could feel them and they would fall off of my face. It was pretty annoying.
After about two weeks of use, I found that my skin seemed to be a little tighter, the fine lines near my eyes seemed lighter than before, my pores seemed to be smaller, and my skin seemed to be smoother than before and seemed moisturized. My deeper wrinkles, however, haven't been affected too much by it and look largely the same.
Overall, the results weren't drastic, but they weren't bad either. I did find it annoying that it reacted like that with my moisturizer though. I don't know if it would react with other moisturizers, but if you really don't like having your skincare products react with one another like this, I would not recommend this to you, just in case. In general, in the end, it's your choice and I can't really tell you to buy it or not.
If you'd like to by this serum, just click here to be taken to the Amazon page.
If not, thank you for reading anyway and I hope that you will stick with me as I continue to write on this blog.
