Guide Review - Moom Mini Organic Hair Remover

So we all know that I love wax. I love everything about it, the smell, the feeling of spreading it on and even the perfect sound it makes when the hair is being removed. So why would I tell you that there is a great product out there when I can make money on doing it as a profession?

Well, we don’t always have the money to spend on extras. Excess hair is not an extra I want to live with, and neither should you. The Moom hair remover is great!

First of all, this product should be used at room temperature. Great, no burns and less chance of skin discoloration! Second, a thin layer should be used in the direction of hair growth. Then, using the supplied strips, remove. Simple, right?

Here’s the best part. Unlike regular waxing products, this is very forgiving. You’re not committed to removing your whole eyebrow if you are over zealous and apply too much product. Simply wash it away and start over! As an Esthetician, I cannot make mistakes on my clients but by the time I get to myself, I just go for it. Sometimes, the best of us mess up. Not any more!

This product is organic and natural, it’s not a wax, but a sugaring gel made in part with chamomile, tea tree oil and lemon juice, all of which have antiseptic properties. Chamomile is also an anti-inflammatory, so it helps with any redness or inflammation.

The mini kit includes waxing strips and applicators. They can be reused! Yep, just wash them with soap and water let them dry and viola! Easy as can be and of course, economical.

I think you will be very pleased with this product. Just don’t forget your Esthetician. He or she still would love to see you!

The Organic Pharmacy: Antioxidant Face Cream

The Organic Pharmacy: Antioxidant Face Cream is a lightweight facial moisturizer that smell amazing - like a fresh-squeezed lemon. It is to be used once or twice a day, on clean skin.

The Organic Pharmacy: Antioxidant Face Cream - Description and Directions

The Organic Pharmacy: Antioxidant Face Cream is a daily facial moisturizer recommended for all skin types. It is packaged in a see-through jar, which contains 1.65 ounces and currently retails for $73.

The moisturizer smells like a dream. It smells like a juicy lemon, which is a treat each morning. (Have I told you how much I love lemons?)

The directions on the container tell you to apply with Antioxidant Serum Gel every morning, and the website's directions specifically say to mix 2 drops of the Antioxidant Serum Gel with the moisturizer. We did not have the Antioxidant Serum Gel to add, so our review is of the moisturizer only.

The Organic Pharmacy: Antioxidant Face Cream - Our Review

Things We Love:

  • The Scent: We noted it above, but just to hit the message home, this moisturizer's scent of fresh lemons and grapefruit is over-the-top amazing. And knowing that it is natural, and not synthetic makes it even better.
  • The Ingredient List: There are some great ingredients in this face cream. The first three ingredients listed are: Propolis Cera, which is a sticky resin collected by bees which is natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, cell regenerator and collagen booster, Polygonium which is widely used in Chinese medicine as a tonic and treatment for premature aging and oats which are anti-oxidants, and known for skin soothing and brightening properties. (Ingredients are always listed in order of percentages in the product.)
  • The Amount: We love the big glass bottle of 3.3 ounces because you don't need a whole lot of oil to hydrate your entire body. It will last a long time.

Something We Weren't Crazy About

  • Absorption: Lightweight really is a good description for Antioxidant Face Cream. It's so lightweight we felt we were just sliding it around our skin until we realized that we were putting too much on. It does take some time to soak in, but not excessive. A little goes a long way.
  • No SPF: This is a day cream, and we like to see our day creams with SPF.
  • The Price: $73.00 is a splurge price for most, especially for a facial moisturizer. But looking at the ingredients and knowing that you're not paying for a watered-down bottle of chemicals might make you look past the price, if you can afford to do so.

The Organic Pharmacy: Antioxidant Face Cream

Final Thoughts

Yes, it's expensive, but despite that, we couldn't help but love this product. Especially once we figured out we were using too much. One thing we've realized about The Organic Pharmacy is that you don't need to take the same amount of product as you would with your typical products. They're highly concentrated, thus, last longer. Plus, you're letting your skin drink in pure, potent ingredients.

But note that if you have dry skin, you'll probably think this is too lightweight for your face. This, in our opinion, is best for normal, combo and oily skin types.
