Vit.C, Raspberry & Hemp routine normalized my skin!

[MyLavenderHeart]

I have tried the samples of Facelift Vitamin C, Raspberry and Hemp moisturizers and all I can say is W.O.W.!!!

First of all, a little background...

Have always ALWAYS struggled with oily skin! From my teens and up to now and I am moving towards the big 4.0
(gasp, I am growing up...don`t feel more than 18 though...maybe it is time to stop with the lol`ing and yayyy`ing...? ...naaaaah, no chance! I`jam what I`jam...! LOL!!!!!)

Ok, over to business...

So I have in my search for calmer skin tried so many things that was "oil-controling" just to find out everything went from bad to worse (...no mam, I have indeed NOT dipped my face in a bucket of butter mam, why do you ask?? )

About a month or so ago I ordered samples of the Raspberry and Hemp just to try it out, as I loved my Green Tea and Aloe serum to have under my eyeshaddow and the daycream I used at a time (non expensive cream without perfume, parabens or other nasty additives)
I threw in the vit c as I allready knew my skin has responded well to vitamin c. in the past and wanted to check how it worked with the above mentioned things.

Samples came in the mail and I started to experimenting. I soon found out that Raspberry was perfect for daytime use and Hemp as a nightcream as my skin let me know that was the perfect balance for me. They were light and soaked right into my skin without making me feel dry at all, just....smooth! Ah, the feeling of smooth skin without having to wipe the fingers of on a towel afterwards because it fealt like I had done an oil change on the car...

And always under either Raspberry or Hemp I put on the Facelift Vitamin C serum and let it soak in for about 30 sekonds, that was all it took to soak in, swoop!

It took three days with this routine and my skin was getting sooo much calmer, moist and the fine lines I actually had started to get had softened up. I am NOT kidding! Three days! My fine lines I knew came from lack of moisture as I felt my face cream didn`t do it`s job, all I got was even more oily...no, GREASY skin from it! After I cleanced my face I was dry as a papertowel, so it obviously didn`t do anything with my skin other than sit on top and ooze oil and make my foundation a cakey mess...!

I have now tried this for about three weeks and this is a routine that is PERFECT for my skin, and my skin is actually getting younger from this specific regime, so it is obvious my skin is getting the moisture it needs using these products! THAT has never happened to me before!

Getting moist and soft non-oily skin everyday and foundation that won`t go grease-ball on me in an hour?? *Gasp*, does such a world really exist????

Well, it turns out it does , and I have finally finally found something that works for ME!
I have heard every story out there with: I did this and my skin is not oily anymore, and is getting better!

And when I was trying it out of course nothing worked on meeee...

So it took Karen`s wonderfull gel moisturizers to save me!

And the Green Tea and Aloe serum is STILL making my eyelids soft and non-oily for many many hours still! I have my eyeshaddow on from 0600-14.00 today, and my eyeshaddow has STILL not moved!

So THANK you SO much Karen, I can`t tell you how much this means to me! No, no I really meeeeeean it!!
It has been an ongoing frustration for years and years and blotting and grinning my teeth because the problem never became better.

Well, guess my teeth are thanking you also then, lol...
So thanks so much!!!!!!!! *Big kiss on cheek to Karen*

PS: My leftover moisturizer has been demoted to footcream! It is apparently exelent for that... *giggle*

I'm so thrilled for you. I know exactly what you mean by that wow factor. I remember reviewing the GT&A serum and Jojoba moisturiser, and a while later I read on another forum that to give such a glowing review, the people commenting on my review thought that I must be an employee or some sort of sycophantic nutcase. (I'm neither!)

The difference to my skin from the Silk Naturals skincare was, is and remains *stunning* and far beyond the results which I have experienced with any other skincare, including the very expensive posh french salon brand which I adore. In my case, my dodgy skin was reactive, inflamed and breaking out erratically through ill health and stress. The improvement justifies all the praise I can muster.

I'm ever so glad for you that you're seeing the benefits of it working for you, too. I know it won't be so revolutionary on everyone - often the further from being balanced at the start, the more dramatic the results and, as many mineralaholics have younger skin, they tend not to have serious problems other than oil balance and acne. I'm glad you're happy with it.

I feel the same way about the super serum, I just love it so much. Also the apricot cleansing oil - have you tried that? It worked really well for me at normalising/balancing my skin (although I am not oily, just acne prone, which is kind of a problem because almost everything aimed at clearing acne is designed for oily teenagers and just makes me flake).
Yay Karen

Wow I am so hapy for you. I have also benefitted alot from SN skincare stuff like GT&S, hemp moisturise, oatmeal serum and vit c serum and many others. Its always a good feeling to see results after trying out products but with SN the products are cheap and worth the tries. We are in a happy world wagon with SN.
