Mad Hippie (product review)

google

It`s no secret that i`m more than average concerned about my looks (not in a shallow way of course)
I`ve used creams,potions and lotions since i was 16.(I can thank my mother for  that.)
The desire to look young and beautiful is as old as time(no pun intended.lol)
And i`m just as guilty of wanting it as anyone ....

So my review is of 2 Mad Hippie serums.

Mad Hippie Vitamin A serum:

This anti wrinkle serum is just awesome!!
It contains 0.3% Retinyl Retinoate , a new form of vitamin A that is 2x more bioavailable than retinol,and also more stable.causing less skin irritation.
It activates the production of collagen in the skin, lightly exfoliates the skin by enhancing cellular turnover.
The packet suggest that one only use it every second day until the skin is used to it.

when i first started using this serum, i was actually a little sceptical, i`d heard that vitamin A (retinol to be exact) could mess up my skin.
No need to say,i pictured the most terrible things.lol!
But i suppose if the dose is too high,it can be damaging. (too much of a good thing can be bad)

So, when i first applied this serum, it had a tingling sensation, and almost immediately my skin had a glow about it.
I`ve used it for over a month, and i`m very pleased with it. The wrinkle between my brows has actually faded a bit.
But the main result is that my skin is smoother and even.
I have less buildup in my pores (i.e blackheads etc)
I  use this serum as a night serum, as retinol/retinyl can cause sun sensitivity.

This serum contains lots of the good stuff,such as antioxidants,peptides,AHA, and none of the bad stuff,such as SLS, Parabens, synthetic fragrance.

Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum:

This is my day serum, and like the Vitamin A serum, its great a great for anti age.
But it`s more daylight friendly,i.e it doesn`t irritate skin,so it can be used during the day.
I can`t say that i`ve notices as much an effect from this serum as the Vitamin A serum,
Maybe because i can`t feel or see the same immediate result.
But it`s definitely good.
My skin is less dry, and skin color is more even, smooth and soft.
Perhaps it`s the combination of the two serums that does the trick.
I will definitely buy this serum again.

The list of skin loving ingredients is long, but i thought i`d share some.
 Vitamin C to enhance collagen Production, the antioxidant helps heal sun damage,and also tighten
 the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid, plump and smooth the skin by retaining moisture.it also enhance collagen production.

Remedy for cold and flu

I always get really wiped out by the flu.

It clings on for weeks, and who has the time to be sick for weeks?!

So the last time i had the flu, i went online and began a hunt for natural remedies to cure... or at least shorten the time of it considerably.

 

 

Let me tell you, there are a lot of ridiculous remedies out there, down right superstitious some of it.

But i did find a couple of remedies that really did the trick for me.

 

 

Apple Cider Vinegar Drink:

 

 



 

This "concoction" tastes like eight shades of funky,but really helped me .

Instead of being sick for weeks, i was back to work after 3 days!!

Now this can be different from person to person, depending on how sick you get,and if you get proper REST!! because rest is key to getting well faster as well.

 

Recipe:

 

3-4 tbsp organic Apple Cider Vinegar

500 ml water (2 cups)

2 tsp stevia (not in the original recipe, but i need it to not taste like shit,so i put in stevia,and it makes it A LOT easier to swallow)

 

If you don`t like stevia,you can use honey.

 

The reason why this actually works ,is because of the acid in the vinegar, no bacteria or virus can live in an acidic environment.

 

I would drink several of this during the day , maybe 2-3 x 5oo ml.

 

Cinnamon & Honey Paste: 

 



 

Cinnamon has a lot of antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory Properties.
 

Honey is antiseptic, antibiotic,anti fungal ,and antiviral.
And is known for having Medical properties.

Recipe:

1/4 cup honey
add as much cinnamon to make a thick but still "runny" paste.

Basically you mix honey and cinnamon into a paste and eat 1 tsp at a time, 3-4 times a day.

I hope this will help you as it has helped me :-)

Have a great day and get well soon !

Xoxo
