Too busy to take your vitamins? Not a prob. Fast-paced career gals can get their daily dose of health and achieve skin perfection with Juice Beauty.
Made with certified organic ingredients, Juice Beauty uses freshly-squeezed juice concentrates as the product base, not water. Sourcing 40+ raw ingredients (including aloe vera, honey, botanicals, plant oils, etc.) from USDA-approved certified organic farms, you are getting a 100% vegetarian bottle of fresh antioxidants and phytonutrients.
“We’re the first organic skincare line to be approved by the FDA to have export clearance,” CEO Karen Behnke said.
I’m impressed that their line doesn’t contain any harsh parabens, which have been cited as having toxicologies. It doesn’t hurt that most of the line smells like fruit pastries.
I really like the Green Apple Cleansing Gel, Suitable for most skin types, the brightening properties of apple, grape and lemon juices helps refine skin texture. After using this for a month, friends began to comment on the brightness and clarity of my skin. This gentle cleanser is a winner in my book.
The Exfoliating Cleanser from the main collection has a soap-free formula. Dissolving jojoba beads gently exfoliate while aloe vera provides soothing properties. White grape and pineapple juices help brighten the complexion. It’s a teensy bit rich for me (I prefer the Green Apple cleansing gel), but it works really well for my dry winter skin.
I like how the Nutrient Moisturizer soaks completely into my skin. Carrot juice and nourishing essential fatty acids work to replenish moisture levels. It looks like a heavier cream for dry skin, but after waiting a minute or so after application, there’s no oily residue whatsoever.
As an anti-aging cream, the newly-launched Green Apple Antioxidant Moisturizer contains nutrients such as co-enzyme Q10, vitamin C, peptides, and DMAE.
With the signature brightening complex of apple, lemon and grape juices, this has a light texture and absorbs quickly ““ a perfect way to firm aging skin.
For sun protection, the non-greasy Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer does the trick. Smelling like apple pie, I wanted to run to the nearest bakery to satisfy my sweet tooth. I like to use it when I go jogging. That way, I get to smell like apples (vs. icky sweat)!
One of their bestsellers, the Green Apple Peel is a potent formula of hydroxy-acids to exfoliate the skin. Try this for a weekly fruit peel ““ you will see visible results from the powerful little green apple. After using this a couple times, my skin is softer, as if I sat near a humidifier all day.
Lip Beauty – Another winning treat, the yummy SPF 15 Tinted Lip Moisturizers ($15) are great for travel, gym bag or your purse. Naturally tinted with minerals, the kit comes in varying shades of deep plum, soft pink and raspberry.
Don’t delay ““ go get your Juice Beauty products and nourish your skin!
