Frøya Organics Anti-Age & Insane Glow Day Balm Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Frøya Organics Anti-Age & Insane Glow Day Balm is a super emollient daytime moisturizer formulated for aging skin of all types. I use a small scoop to remove a tiny amount of balm from the jar, then I warm it between my hands and massage it into warm and freshly cleansed skin that is still slightly damp. Since the formula is so concentrated, using a small amount ensures that there will be no oily residue left behind, but using too much will, and it is a waste of this luxurious balm. The water-free formula melts into the skin and leaves it soft, supple, nourished, deeply moisturized and luminous. The organic plant-based ingredients lend a light natural aroma to this balm, but it is quite light and unassuming. 

This moisturizer does not include a sunscreen, and therefore once it sinks in I apply my high SPF sunscreen and then proceed with any makeup that I might wear on a given day.
According to Frøya Organics,

The products are specifically made for people in harsh weather. In Norway, we have temperatures from 30 to -30 degrees and a lot of rain, wind, and snow. The products are made for extreme conditions. Making them suitable for everyone, harsh weather or not. The products work for almost all skin types; oily, dry, normal, combination, and sensitive. And all skin colors. It works for shaved men and men with beards or stubs.
Ingredients & Select Ingredients and Their Attributes:
Directions: Apply a thin layer of the Glow Balm to your face in the morning. It’s super potent, therefore you only need a tiny amount.
Full Kit:
Overall Assessment: If glowing, nourished and moisturized skin is what you are seeking this season, this Glow Day Balm is definitely a worthy contender.

$39.00 for the Glow Balm alone or $119.00 for the 4-piece kit (shown above) from Frøya Organics. Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links). All views expressed are categorically my own.

ellixi Balancing Moisturizer Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

ellixi Balancing Moisturizer is a thick, rich and creamy moisturizer that offers skin deep moisture. Shea Butter, which is its first ingredient, nourishes the skin and provides it with deep and sustained moisture, and it locks in hydration. However, while one might think that the Shea Butter indicates that this moisturizer is intended for dry skin alone, this smart moisturizer also includes Tea Tree Oil. The latter ingredient has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that reduces irritation, redness and it helps to combat breakouts. For my normal to combination skin, I have noticed that it leaves my skin moisturized, balanced as well as soft and smooth. I have even tried it on my hands, and it works quite well in its capacity to hydrate and heal dry and chapped hands.

According to ellixi,

Ellixi’s Balancing Moisturizer with Avocado Oil and essential oils provides deep hydration while helping to regulate oil production for a smooth, balanced complexion. Avocado oil is rich in vitamins and fatty acids, nourishing the skin and promoting softness, while the essential oils add a soothing, refreshing touch. This lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving your skin moisturized and radiant without feeling greasy, making it ideal for daily use.

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Arrowroot Powder.

Ingredients and Their Attributes:

Shea Butter: Deeply moisturizes and nourishes the skin, helping to restore elasticity while creating a protective barrier to lock in hydration.

Grapeseed Oil: A lightweight oil that absorbs quickly, providing antioxidants and fatty acids to tighten skin, balance moisture, and improve overall texture.

Tea Tree Essential Oil: Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps combat blemishes, reduce redness, and promote clearer skin.

Lavender Essential Oil: Calms and soothes the skin, reducing irritation and stress while promoting a sense of balance and relaxation.

Arrowroot Powder: Helps absorb excess oil, leaving the skin feeling soft and matte without clogging pores.

Directions: After cleansing the skin, take a pea-sized amount and dot it onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Gently massage using upward, circular motions, massage the moisturizer into your skin until fully absorbed. Follow with sunscreen (daytime): In the morning, apply a sunscreen over the moisturizer to protect your skin.

Recommendations:

Morning Routine: Apply as a lightweight, balancing day moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and matte throughout the day. Follow with SPF for sun protection and makeup, if desired.

Evening Routine: Use after cleansing and toning for a calming, hydrating finish to your nighttime skincare. For extra hydration, apply a slightly thicker layer before bed for overnight skin repair.

It is just perfect for the warm/hot weather, and I use it daily. This ultra-fine moisture mist can be used on the face and body and it sinks in immediately leaving skin nourished and hydrated. It is fragrance-free, easy to use and effective. It is especially satisfying on a hot day to refresh the skin with a spritz here and there. Additionally, because it is so light and hydrating it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It does not, however, contain a sunscreen, so you will need to add your sunscreen after you apply this spray.

I keep mine in the shower, and use it there as well. I spray it on lightly towel dried skin, and then let it sink in before getting dressed. It offers wonderful hydration and it is just so easy to use.

According to Curél,

SPRAY ON MOISTURIZER - Simplify your skincare with a gentle, nourishing moisturizer spray that can be applied in seconds.

Dieux Skin Instant Angel Lipid Rich Facial Moisturizer is a thoughtfully created cruelty-free and vegan moisturizer that is richly moisturizing. It is a peptide and ceramide-rich formulation that is barrier-supportive and immensely moisturizing for dehydrated skin and skin with a compromised barrier. It is rich and thick, and yet it melts into the skin quickly leaving behind an ethereal glow. It is fragrance-free, with no detectable aroma, and it makes the skin feel so soft, smooth and supple. If you have acne-prone skin, this cream will likely be too rich for you, and you might want to try Dieux Air Angel Gel Cream instead.

According to Dieux,

Instant Angel is your skin barrier’s protector. Deeply moisturizing, this nourishing face cream supports and repairs skin while giving an ethereal glow.

The result is an unfragranced, rich moisturizer that feels like silk without leaving the tell-tale *residue* of a richer cream

$1 of every sale of Instant Angel goes to an organization fighting for reproductive justice.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer is an obsession and covet-worthy hydrating moisturizer that has an incredible texture. This mid-weight gel cream has a fluffy cloud-like texture that melts into the skin leaving it silky-smooth, hydrated and luminous. The Hyaluronic Acid-rich formula offers deep ad sustained hydration while it plumps fine lines. It is fragrance-free, and therefore should present no problem for people who are sensitive to scented skincare products. This is such a glorious moisturizer that is formulated for all types of skin, and it can be used on the face, neck and décolleté twice a day. It can be used all year long, and plays well with my makeup and other skincare products. I cannot attest to the claim that this cream offers 72 hour hydration since I did not discontinue using skincare products for 72 hours to affirm or refute this claim, but I will say that the hydration lasts all day when I use this cream.

According to Peter Thomas Roth,

Drench your skin with a liquid cloud of fluffy-light moisture that feels soft and weightless like clouds in the atmosphere. Concentrated 30% Hyaluronic Acid Complex cream has three molecular sizes of Hyaluronic Acid, a potent hydrator that draws in water. Helps plump the look of skin with moisture.

The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is visibly reduced, leaving a silky, hydrated and more youthful-looking complexion. Dries light as a cloud and feels weightless on the skin. Fragrance-free.

*In a 28-day study applying a 1% Pentavitin® formulation, skin remained hydrated for 72 hours.

Directions: Apply fluffy-light cream twice daily to face and neck with continued use.
Overall Assessment: This is such a lovely cream. I love the texture, the way it makes my skin look and feel, and I am ultra impressed by the way in which it deeply hydrates my skin. A+
