Vitamin B3 Magic Toner


I have dry skin with lots of hyper pigmentation and am prone to acne. I always use a toner to make sure that all products are removed clean and my face is clear of any products. I got a chance to try the First Botany Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Magic Toner. After using the toner for a few days, my skin became clear and I stopped getting frequent breakouts. It has many useful ingredients and helps firm my skin. I also noticed that the hyper pigmentation marks have lightened considerably and my face now has a glowing look.

Here is more information about the product.

YOUNGER, PLUMPER AND FIRMER SKIN: Niacinamide B3 Toner is light and absorbs quickly into skin while it delivers various benefits from Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to your skin. Commonly known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide at 2% has been shown to reduce water loss in the skin and retain fatty acid levels (younger, plumper, firmer). Niacinamide also inhibits skin pigmentation and smoothes the look of the fine lines and wrinkles leaving both the skin tone and texture balanced.

FIGHTS ACNES: Vitamin B3 Niacinamide has also been proven to be a very effective acne fighter. This toner is gentle enough to handle skin abrasions and fine lines, but strong enough to remove daily accumulations of dirt and oil...attacking acne head on.

SKIN WHITENING EFFECT: Niacinamide is also an excellent skin lightening agent that works by disrupting the transfer of melanosome from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte. A study done by Procter & Gamble that proved that the combination of niacinamide and glucosamine (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) demonstrated significant skin lightening in patients. In general, most individuals saw results after 12 weeks of daily usage (and saw a reduction of 35-68% of pigmentation).

PERFECT DAILY TONER: Vitamin B3 niacin toner is the perfect daily post-cleansing toner or dare we say "magic liquid", for the skin. It's paraben-free and gluten-free, so it helps promote healthy skin. This liquid is designed for normal to oily and problematic skin. B3 facial toners improve epidermal barrier function, keeping the skin sealed and protected from environmental toxins.

Skin Balancing Facial Toner


I use a lot of makeup and it is very hard to remove all of the makeup. I double cleanse, once with oil and later with a non drying foaming cleaner. Even though I do not have sensitive skin, if my face is not cleansed properly, I end up with a breakout the next day. To avoid that, I always use a toner to make sure that all traces of makeup are removed property, the ph level of my skin is balanced out, my skin can be refreshed and it prepares the skin to take in the serums which are helpful to the skin. The Skin Balancing Facial Toner from Amara Organics satisfies all my criteria and also has many beneficial ingredients. Sometimes I also use the Skin Balancing Facial Toner to set my makeup and it makes my makeup last longer.

Baby Ring Sling Carrier (Adjustable - One Size)


I have a toddler and a new born baby. I tried many types of slings when I had my toddler. Some were good and some were so-so. Most of the good ones either had a weight limit by which I could not use them once he turned one year old. Some of them were either giving me pain on my shoulders or back because of the weight of the baby. The Baby Ring Sling Carrier from Mamaway has a bigger cloth, and looks sturdy. Looks at it when I received it in the mail, I could not make head or tail out of it on how to use it. I had to watch the video few times before I got the knack of using it. Since my baby is still few weeks old, I only learnt one position to use it. With practice and watching the videos, I should be able to perfect the other positions by the time my baby is growing up. This sling gives comfort to the baby by providing mother's touch within reach. This is also helpful for nursing. For babies with colic, this sling gives them a soothing comfort to make them fall asleep easily.

Snug Plug n Play Kids Headphones


My toddler son watches youtube videos on ipad and sometimes he keeps high volume which causes inconvenience to the other family members. He loves to keep the volume high and sing along with the video. When I got a chance to review Snug Plug n Play Kids Headphones, I was skeptical at first. From the pictures, they look a bit flimsy and looked more like a toy headphone. The good thing was it has several color options and let my kid choose his color. He asked for the blue one. After I received the product, I checked to see if it works properly and plugged it into the ipad. It did not fit my head but it fits my son perfectly.
