Skin Care Recipe ~ The Dream Team!

I was introduced to Juice Beauty about a year ago and I've been hooked ever since! I'm serious you guys, this is the best skincare line I've ever used. These three items specifically are my favorite:

• Cleansing Milk- $22 It has a lovely creamy consistency that moisturizes as your cleansing. It smells divine and is amazing for removing make-up. Perfect for daily use.
• Antioxidant Serum- $45 This light serum is a  multi-vitamin for the skin, or as I say, HEAVEN. It is clinically proven to prevent free radical skin cell damage up to 85%. Follow up with this serum after cleansing.
• Green Apple Peel Full Strength- $45 This best selling peel will be the secret you have that no one else does. Well, at least until you tell them! It will reduce redness, improve fine lines, acne, and reveal a brighter complexion. Use this peel once weekly or you can spot treat.

Most Juice Beauty products are gluten-free and vegan. Not many product lines can say that! Also, all of their packaging is eco-friendly and recyclable. You really cannot go wrong with any product you choose. I LOVE them all. Honestly, it looks like Juice Beauty threw up in my bathroom. ;)

Keep your eye on the Juice Beauty web-site. They always have great deals on their products. Check them out at http://www.juicebeauty.com/

Hope you like it as much as I do!
