Von Natur's Helped My Skin & It Can Help Yours Too!
Hi,
It has been quite awhile since I got super personal here on the quest, but I feel like so many before me that well ... 'beauty is everything.' What am I talking about? well, I figured I would share my latest find, the Von Natur*** skincare line. Let me just preface this all by saying that I am slowly but surely moving up from struggling blogger to struggling blogger with product. I am now 2 weeks into using Von Natur's Chaotic Line and seeing the benefits of glowing skin like never before.
Here's The Deal
When I first received a press release on Von Natur I was excited as any chick in the know; I love to hear about new and exciting lines, or at least things that are new to these eyes. I did a close read and thought...hmmmm...Von Natur may be too...ummm...natural for my often acne prone skin. Yeah, that's right--acne prone skin--WHAT? if Jessica Simpson & P-Diddy can talk about their former skin ordeals, why can't I talk up my current skin woes? HUH? So as I was saying, I just was not sure about these products. I emailed Jasmine my PR contact and she sent me the entire Chaotic Line which included: Chaotic Facial Gel Cleanser, Chaotic Facial Exfoliant, Chaotic, Chaotic Facial Toner (pads), Chaotic Powder Facial Masque, Chaotic Facial Serum, Chaotic Facial Moisturizer. Oh yes! I am stocked!
To the left is a photo of me HAPPY "as a lark" as a result of the recent clear healthy skin that I have gotten from my Von Natur usage. The products promise to heal, detoxify, clarify and soothe, and they really do what they have promised. I find that my skin is a lot more moisturized while at the same time less oily, and that is a very hard thing to accomplish. That and the fact that they are strong enough to be effective while at the same time being natural. I'm pretty excited that my acne is now, at least, better controlled thanks to ingredients like charcoal, MSM,and various other antioxidants and vitamins.
Please note I also received products from Von Natur's Absolute Facial Line which is focused on fighting the signs of aging as well as dry skin...haven't tried these yet, but stay tuned--I have more than enough skin concerns to share.
