Beauty From Flowers French Hydrating Masque



    I am always looking for products to help my skin look refreshed, younger and radiant. So many don't work, it gets discouraging. However, I recently tried Beauty From Flowers French Lavender Hydrating Masque and got pretty impressive results.

    Beauty From Flowers uses organic material and natural preservatives. Their products don't contain artificial fragrances, parabens or synthetic colors. They are also cruelty-free, which is going a long way in my book these days. According to Beauty From Flowers,

    All of our products contain rose in their formulas. These are truly amazing flowers as they contain a mixture of more than 300 compounds! These compounds give roses countless skin beautifying properties: natural sun protection, strengthens capillaries, anti-inflammatory, source of vitamin B3 and inhibits the breakdown of elastin, which helps to keep skin supple and smooth. Our organic skin care line is created from a wide variety of beautiful flowers and also with potent plant antioxidants, nutrients from the sea, skin nurturing vitamin blends and pure essential oils. Subtly aromatic and exceptionally gentle, these organic skin care products will not clog pores and are preserved naturally using vitamin E Complex, aspen bark extract, rosemary leaf extract, radish root extract and honeysuckle extract.

    I used the French Lavender Hydrating Masque twice per week for about a month. This is a gel-like masque that contains aloe vera, blue-green algae, orchid, propolis, white tea, orchid, honeysuckle, evening primrose, vitamin E, and lavender essential oil. According to Beauty From Flowers, this masque is perfect for detoxifying skin, smoothing fine lines and helping skin recover from environmental damage, all while creating a healthy glow that lasts for days.

    Upon smelling it, you are instantly reminded of being in a relaxing spa. It smells fantastic. Add a few candles and a soft bathrobe and you definitely can create a tranquil home spa for yourself. The gel itself is cool and relaxing. It's perfect to use after a long day or before an important event.

    I noticed that when used (especially after using an exfoliator of some sort) that my fine lines around my eyes were temporarily diminished, big time. If you need to look younger, fresher, more rested, whatever, this is a great option to reduce the signs of aging, even if only for a few hours. I was recently on a really long shoot and met up with a co-worker afterward for dinner and she was surprised by how rested I looked, after shooting for 12 hours during a heat wave. Anything that can return a youthful and rested bloom to my face after that day is amazing!

    The French Lavender Hydrating Masque is available from Beauty From Flowers for $42.
