product review: Tamanu E cellular regeneration creme

Hi Everyone

More product reviews I bought this product thinking I could you this as a face moisturiser but I found another much easier purpose for this product.

Product claim:
Problem and aging skin benefit from the healing, anti-aging powers of Madagascar's tamanu and vitamin E oil's in this cellular regeneration cre'me.
Transform aging and problematic skin with Madagascar's healing tamanu oil. Revered as "the pharmacopoeia of beauty oils", rare Madagascan tamanu oil contains a plethora of anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory constituents. An anti-aging cocktail, tamanu oil and all natural vitamin E markedly decrease wrinkles, prevent moisture loss, decrease acne outbreaks and encourage healthy cell regeneration. This cream is just what the medicine man (or woman) ordered for skin lacking luster and firmness as it lends its anti-oxidant powers to combat free radicals that damage skin.
Contains only: spring water, certified organic tamanu oil, vegetable emulsifying wax, 5% natural vitamin E, naturally derived preservative (glucono delta-lactose), sodium benzoate

Product experience:
I use it on my acne that is popping out and any discoloration that I have at night. Since this product has tamanu oil, it has the same weird smell. I realised I couldn't use this in the morning fearing people at work might smell it on me and the product does not cont. It's a great creme product that is easily absorbed by my skin. I also use this product on any minor irritations that I have.

Pros:
All natural, no artificial products
Has Tamanu oil
Very light creme easily absorbed
Multi-function product, good as moisturizer, anti-wrinkle, anti-acne and heals minor wounds and irritations.
Can be used as a spot treatment for zits

Cons
Smell, weird smell
Can only be purchased at sheterraorganics.com
price $26.00 for 2 oz bottle

I love the convenience of this product to spot treat acne, the main reason I bought this product for. So I don't have to use tamanu oil all over my face. it's a good moisturizer but I still much prefer my argan oil.

product review: Tamanu oil

Hi Everyone

This oil is amazing I purchased it not knowing anything about the oil. I must say I was impressed and this oil has a multitude of uses.

Product claims:
Tamanu oil is known as a pharmacy in a bottle. The oil continues to work more effectively against bacterial and fungal infections than many anti-biotics. It has an amazing ability to help promote the formation of new tissue. This property, cicatrization, makes the oil perfect for those suffering from acne, rashes, sunburn, insect bites and eczema, not to mention as a daily standby for razor nicks to speed healing and avoid scarring. Several studies are available to show that large, impossible to treat wounds were successfully treated with several applications of tamanu oil.
Not only has tamanu oil been valued for its ability to heal skin and fight infections, this oil has been highly revered as an anti-aging serum. Slightly waxy, this curry fragrant oil helps skin to repair itself from external damage, fighting off free radical scavengers while improving the tone and elasticity of the skin. Skin will immediately feel softer, more hydrated, and a large decrease in wrinkling can be noticed right away.

My experience:
I use 1 pump of the oil and massage it all over my face and neck.
The first time I used this oil I was put off first it has a very musty scent that I disliked the oil has a thicker consistency with a yellow tinge to it. It's consistency is similar to olive oil but olive oil smells better. Because of the scent I only use this product at night. That way I'm not conscious when I meet people at work. Tamanu oil works wonders on my acne and used it to treat some minor burns I got from cooking.

Pros:
Multitude of uses, as moisturizer, acne treatment, skin burn treatment, minor cuts etc.
Again glass bottle with a pump
Price 2 oz bottle for $24.00

Cons:
Can only be purchased at sheaterraorganics.com
The smell can be off putting
It's a thicker oil can be hard to massage on to skin.

Tamanu oil is a great oil if you give it a try. Never judge an oil by it's looks and scent even though it has a weird scent you know there is nothing artificial that has been added to this oil.

Skin care routine

I know there's plenty of skin care routine but this one works for my combination dry skin. I broke this down to morning routine, evening routine and once a week treatments that I like to use. The products will get reviewed at a later date because if I added the review with this blog post will be very, very long. I will also add info to where you can purchase the products that I use.

Morning routine
In the morning I like to wash my face with lukewarm water for several minutes. Then I pat my face dry and with a cotton ball I use witch hazel as my toner. I use an under eye gel,use my clinique spot treatment for any zits I have then apply 1 pump of kalahari ootanga oil to my face let it get absorbed and dry a bit then I place either another moisturizer with an SPF of 38 or more to my face.I know most experts recommend that you wash your face with a cleanser in the morning, I find that using a cleanser in the morning dries my skin so much. Also I make sure to really cleanse in the evening so using a cleanser in the morning is too much for my skin. That's pretty much it for my morning routine, I usually don't use make up I reserve that on special occasion. :)

Evening routine
At night is when I perform my deep cleansing since I have more time to devote at night and I find that my night cleansing routine is a nice party of de-stressing.
At night I like to use my black soap and rose hip cleanser or my rose hip soap on my face. Depending on what I did that day I either use my hands to work the cleanser on to my skin or on days that I feel I need that extra cleansing I use my nutra sonic. Nutra sonic is a cheaper version of clairasonic. After I have cleansed my face I pat my skin dry and use an under eye gel use my tamanu-e cream on my zits. Then I use 1 pump of tamanu oil and massage this on to my face, let is get soaked up for a minute and then use 1 pump of argan oil and also massage on my face and neck. That concludes my evening routine I know your asking why I don't use a toner at night. I find that since I cleaned my face really well with my nutra sonic or my cleanser that I don't need a toner.

Once a week routine.
I have large pores around my nose, forehead and chin so I use some sort of pore strip to clean those gunk out of my face. I have several that I have tried so far I'm liking the skin food nose strip It's cheap and works the best in my opinion.
I use face scrubs once a week I use my ghassool purifying paste mask.

That about sums up my skin care routine, I have been using this products since November of last year and I haven't had any break outs except when I try new products. It works for me.
to purchase argan oil, kalahari ootanga oil, tamanu oil and ghassool scrub/mask sheaterraorganics.com. clinique spot treatment any department store or sephora will carry clinique.the nutra sonic I purchased online at hautelook.com on one of their sales. Witch hazel I purchased it from Walgreen's.
