There’s a lot of flashy words out there in the articles we read, on the products we use, from the dermatologists and estheticians we go to, etc. It’s awfully difficult to keep track of all of them, which is why I always try to read articles about all sorts of skincare topics even if I’ve already read a million articles about that same topic. Whenever I use a product that includes hyalouronic acid my skin feels hydrated, bouncy, and plump. Your cells naturally produce hyalouronic acid on its own to maintain moisture levels, but sometimes, especially during the winter, your skin needs that extra boost to keep everything in good shape.

If you’re on the Paleo diet, gluten intolerant, dislike GMOs, and/or prefer your beef products come from happy pasture raised cows, this is the protein powder for you. Other products of there’s include Grass-Fed Pure Collagen Peptide Powder, Keto Collagen Protein with MCT Powder (chocolate), Organic Premium Spirulina tablets, Organic Vegan Protein Powder (vanilla), and Organic Turmeric Booster Powder. What’s great about the Bone Broth and Collagen Peptide powders is that since it’s completely flavorless, you can add it to your favorite baking recipes! Currently the recipes they have posted are the Collagen Very Berry Smoothie Bowl, Chocolate Hazelnut Nice Cream, Apple Pie Bone Broth Protein Bars, Bone Broth Protein Fudgesicles, Coconut Matcha Collagen Ice Cream, Protein Packed Paleo Chocolate Donuts, Brownie Batter Collagen Shake, and Creamy Vegan Mint Chocolate Dip Popsicles.

So I’ve fallen head over heels for the Mineral Sunscreen Lotion from Bare Republic. It protects skin from not only harmful UVA/UVB rays but also free radical damage with antioxidant-rich oils and plant extracts, as well as repairing and moisturizing the skin. I often cringe when I am reminded that I have to wear sunscreen every day if I want healthy skin that lasts a lifetime, simply because sunscreen often feels kinda greasy, which doesn’t bode well if you wanna wear makeup or simply not look like you put too much facial oil on. It almost feels as though I put a primer on and am ready to put makeup on my perfectly matte and smooth skin.
