I’ve been thinking about this post for a few days now. I couldn’t figure out how to explain that I have no beauty regime. I think I never got into beauty products either because I didn’t go through a teenage acne phase or because I’m just lazy. I used to make sure I put on sunscreen every morning. When I lived in colder climates I used a night time moisturizer and moisturizing cleansing cloths.
Lately, its been soap and water. A couple of sunburns during my morning runs has made me realize that I need to get back on the wagon. My eczema is also flaring up because I have not been applying my eczema cream. I just needed to start taking care of my skin.
As a poor yoga teacher my options are limited. My options are further limited by my sensitivities to fragrances and harsh chemicals. The gym that I teach at has been selling some “natural” products for someone who had to close down a health store due to illness. This means that the products are priced to go. I thought about getting the colloidal oatmeal to help with my eczema. When I looked in the display case I noticed a cleanser and hydrating serum from Sibu Beauty.
I paid $5 EC dollars for each product. What a steal! The cleanser is listed at $17.95 and the hydrating serum $39.95. I started using it right away. I wanted to make sure that I would not have any sensitivities to the fragrance or another ingredient. I am glad to report that I did not wake up with a swollen face, stuffy nose or any other adverse effects.
I have used it intermittently since last Wednesday and I am just blown away. After less than a week my skin feels softer and smoother, my complexion has evened out and the rough patches of eczema have almost disappeared completely. All this and no greasiness or heaviness. I did not expect such drastic results. I thought at most I would have a nice smelling reason to wash my face at night. I am very excited to keep using these products. I hope one day I can use more products from Sibu. You can see all their products on their website http://www.sibubeauty.com.
From their website:
“Sibu Beauty, premium skin care products [are] made from the Himalayan sea buckthorn berry. Known as the “beauty berry” across Europe and Asia, sea buckthorn contains over 190 bioactive compounds that restore, revitalize, and protect youthful beauty – from the inside-out AND outside-in. These hardy berries help nourish skin, hair, and nails with powerful antioxidants and essential fatty acids, including the rare Omega 7 – a key building block to healthy skin, hair, and nails, and also aids digestion and may help you maintain a healthier weight. Sibu Beauty features luxurious natural skin cleansers, moisturizes, and other topical treatments as well as dietary supplements that beautify and protect from the inside-out.”
I have never seen a sea buckthorn berry and I am not sure about its powers. I do know that my skin feels better than it has since I was a teenager. I’m so glad that I tried an unknown product. If you see me looking young and youthful in my pictures, know that it’s not just my great genes but also Sibu Beauty.
