It's all about the Face

Joyal Beauty in my collection

If you have been reading my blog for a bit, you have noticed a huge shift in posts for beauty products in particular a huge focus on skincare. I have the lovely age 35, so anything that I can do to keep my skin looking clear, clean and fresh I am totally all for. Considering I have a younger man in my life (5 years junior to myself) I try to make sure that I won't make the age difference too noticeable. 

As an earlier post before, I mentioned I have been using Joyal Beauty in my skin care routine since 2017, and there are several products that I have liked so much. I get another one for my mom, best friend or even for the man. As you can see from the picture above, this is my current items in my collection. The newest being the eye cream and the second being the item pictured below.

#HyaluronicAcid

With my journey for health, both what I put into my body as well as what I put on it, I have really enjoyed products that are cruelty free as well as natural.

The Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum claims the following:

• Highest quality. Ranked number 1 hyaluronic acid serum by Health Product Report. Recommended by dermatologists. Can be used with or without microneedling devices at home or clinics.
• Highest pure hyaluronic acid concentration on the market. Highest 4% sodium hyaluronate solution. Other brands are only 0.5% or 1% solution. Thicker but non-greasy, smoother and more effective.
• Best skin absorption. Research shows the ideal low molecular weight HA of 50 kDa is the best to the skin. Size does matter. No chemical thickeners. pH is 4.5-5.5, exactly the same as healthy normal skin's pH. Gentle enough for sensitive skin or delicate eyes area. Can penetrate deeper into the skin without inflammation.
• Boost hydration of the deeper layer of skin when applied to damp skin. Help reduce the appearance of fine lines and dry wrinkles. Can be combined with our vitamin c serum, retinol serum, royal jelly serum, and glycolic acid age defy serum.
• All Natural Pure HA Serum Made in USA by FDA and USDA Organic Certified Lab. No Chemicals. No alcohol. Hyaluronic acid is derived from healthy veggies in USA. Even preservative is derived from organic radish.

I have only used this product a few times, mostly when I feel like my skin is a little drier than usual. If I have taken a hot yoga class recently, or I have been traveling, as my skin always goes dry (before it goes back to more oily).

It is also important to know that when you have oily skin, you do need to add more moisture back into it. So I use this serum about once a week in my evening time skincare routine.

I think with my on and off usage, I haven't  seen huge changes but definite small improvements the AM after using it before bed.

Eyes are the windows to the Soul

#EyeCream 

https://www.amazon.com/Cream-Circles-Under-Puffy-Wrinkles/dp/B0131T8LIE/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1439428577&sr=1-1&keywords=eye+cream%2CB0131T8LIE

Now being over the age of 30, I truly realize how important skin care routine is. And being active Youtuber, in particular within the Project Pan Community (which focuses on using up products from ones collection), I have slowly begun to get rid of those skincare products that don't work the best for me. And either use up or when its appropriate, bring in new products that focus more on my skincare needs. I didn't think eye creams were important, but in the last 2 years, using them on a regular basis, both morning and night. I have seen some drastic change in the appearance of my dark circles and puffiness of the skin under the eyes. And I firmly believe its from my eye creams, a well balanced diet (which is pretty new for me) and sleep. Though sometimes life gets in the way and the 7 to 8 hr s of sleep that helps banish the eye circles doesn't always happen.

Joyal Beauty has been a beauty line that I found last year and I have used several products from the line, mostly serums and moisturizers. However this most recent order I made was for their Vitamin C eye cream. And so far I have been really enjoying the results.

According to their website this items claims the following:

• REVOLUTIONARY PREMIUM FORMULA FOR TOTAL PERFECTION: Best Organic Eye Cream for Dark Circles Under Eyes,Puffy eyes,Wrinkles and Fine Lines Under Eyes. * Bioactive Vitamin C. *Avocado- Rich in Vitamins K,C,B,E,A. *Hyaluronic Acid *Caffeine. *Peptides
• THE ONLY EYE CREAM WITH SQUALANE, NIACINAMIDE AND HYALURONIC ACID. Good for both dry skin and oily skin. I
• THE ONLY EYE CREAM WITH AVOCADO,PLANT STEM CELLS, AND PEPTIDES TOGETHER.

Overall, I have noticed in the few weeks that I have been using it the difference in the darkness under my eyes has ligthened. I have combo more towards oily skin (tho I use to be combo more to dry before) and this DOES NOT effect any oil production under my eyes. Nor does it effect the way make up applies either under the eyes.

I am throughly enjoying this product, and I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Why Retinol

https://www.amazon.com/Joyal-Beauty-Unique-Stabilized-Hyaluronic-blemishes/dp/B01F0SSQS4/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1479266201&sr=1-2&keywords=retinol+cream+joyal+beauty

What is it?

Retinol is simply another name for vitamin A. It’s a type of retinoid, the family of chemical compounds related to vitamin A. Other retinoids include: retinoic acid (also known as tretinoin), retinyl palmitate, and retinaldehyde, all of which can be found in skincare products. Tretinoin is the active ingredient in Retin-A, the prescription acne cream, while adapalene—another retinoid—is the active ingredient in Differin Gel. In addition to being a trusted treatment for acne, retinol is famous for its antiaging properties, cropping up in a range of antiwrinkle and skin-brightening products of every stripe.

What does it do?

 Namely, retinoic acid works to increase cell turnover, stimulate collagen and elastin production, fade hyperpigmentation, and help skin stay hydrated and glowing without irritation. Thanks to all this healthy turnover, retinol can treat and prevent everything from stubborn cystic acne and eczema to sun-induced wrinkles and dark spots.

Introducing Joyal Beauty Retinol Cream into my skincare routine!!!

This Retinol Cream by Joyal Beauty contains just the right amount of Retinol so that it can be used everyday without irritating your skin.  Plus, it also contains skin healing ingredients like Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, Argan Oil and Organic Herbs to help soothe and soften skin.  It's basically the perfect Retinol Night Cream!

As a general rule Retinol products should only be used in the evening since it can make skin ultra sensitive to sunlight.

I have been using this for about 2 weeks now, every other night and I am loving how my skin is looking. I due use a foundation when I wear make up that has spf 30 in it, on the days after I apply this in the evening. Gotta keep the skin safe, as retinol can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.

I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is looking to add a little extra love to their skin care routine.
