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.

product review: Kalahari Ootanga Oil

Hi Everyone,

Back again for more beauty reviews, this time I'm going to focus on the items I'm currently using on my skin care routine.
I came across this oil because I was looking for a good moisturizer. My skin has changed drastically since my 20's. I always had oily combination skin that frustrated me so much. A few years ago I noticed that my regular moisturizer was not working as well. It was leaving my skin so dry and tight even after I have massaged the moisturizer on. I know what were supposed to switch moisturizer depending on the season. I usually use a lighter moisturizer in the summer and a more hydrating moisturizer in the winter. That being said I happen to find a YouTube guru Ms bentleyblonde and she was raving about banana's and baobab's moisturizer from sheaterraorganics.com
I looked around the website and realized it has a ton of other products that might help with my problem. Sheaterra has 100% all natural products, that's Eco-friendly and also help create work in Morocco.

The product claims:
Recommended for for normal to oil skin, removes makeup and sebum build up
With a multitude of uses, Kalahari Ootanga Oil (locally referred to as tsamma) is a must have in every beauty cabinet. Basking under the intense sun of the Kalahari Desert, seeds of water-laden, indigenous watermelons, tsamma melons, intensify in their hydroxyl radical-scavenging anti-oxidant powers. The results is a powerful oil, non greasy and non clogging, that penetrates skin's surface to eradicate toxins and debris while offering gentle, yet effective moisturization.

My experience:
I use Kalahari oil in the morning as my moisturizer, I just use 1 pump and massage the oil all over my face and neck.
As a make up remover, I just rub 2 to 3 pumps of the oil all over my face, making sure to really work the product where I need it. I just wipe the oil with a facial tissue and cleanse my face like I would normally do.

The product feels like a dry oil, what I mean by dry oil is that it's very light and not greasy. When I massage the oil on to my skin it just gets absorbed right away and I notice that it doesn't leave me my skin looking greasy in a few hours like my normal moisturizer. The oil doesn't have a fragrance in it, it does smell nutty it's because it's a cold pressed 100% certified pure oil.
I have used it as a make up remover and it does break down face make up, heavy duty eye liner like my urban decay 24/7.

Pros:
The product is all natural 100% certified
It's a great moisturizer that will not leave you looking greasy
The product is glass bottle and has a pump making it Eco-friendly and sanitary
price is decent $18 for 2 oz bottle

Cons
You can only get is online through sheaterra website.
The scent, it doesn't have one can smell organic, nutty.
It gets messy when used as a make up remover.
Does not contain an SPF

All in all I love this product and use it religiously, I feel it has helped my skin a lot and it's something that makes me feel and I can feel good about. So to purchase just head to http://www.sheaterraorganics.com/Kalahari-Ootanga-Oil-Prehistoric-Watermelon-Seed-Oil_p_51.html
