Do you know what I absolutely love reviewing? Beauty and skin care products! As a mom, it’s not as easy to find the time or justify the expense of products for me. When I married my husband, I vowed to continue to make myself look nice every day and not “slack off.” Having a child makes this a little more difficult (one day I’ll give you some tips about how to do things like shower or shave your legs or put on your makeup with a toddler) but it’s still just as important to me.
I recently had the opportunity to try Burt’s Bees new Radiance Day Lotion and it’s absolutely divine! I was initially introduced to Burt’s Bees when I was looking for a shampoo and soap/wash for my son. I liked it so much that I started buying some products for myself. By the way, the Naturally Nourishing Milk & Shea Butter Body Wash is divine!
Burt’s Bees developed the Radiance line of natural skin care products with Royal Jelly (nature’s most nourishing substance) to boost your skin’s natural glow. Here is a little more information about the product from the site and press release:
This natural, efficacious day lotion is specially formulated with Royal Jelly, the key ingredient across the Radiance line of products, to enhance skin’s natural radiance. Royal Jelly is one of nature’s most nourishing substances and, as the exclusive diet of the Queen bee, the reason the Queen bee lives 40 times longer than worker bees.
With Calendula to soften and smooth skin and Golden Seal to nourish and provide vitamins A, C, E and B Complex, I really feel like this lotion is a therapeutic remedy for my skin. The Royal Jelly just adds an additional level of nourishment with 17 amino acids and vitamins. The lotion has this really light floral fragrance and it goes on very sheer (I can even wear liquid or powder makeup on top of it). Once you rub the lotion on your face, you’ll barely notice it’s there (except for the light scent). My skin really just felt more moisturized, rather than oily or greasy like many day lotions I’ve tried in the past. As I get older it’s becoming more important for me to moisturize my face to avoid the little lines and wrinkles that seem to be appearing on a regular basis. I love the fact that the lotion has an SPF of 15. Did you know that it is recommended that everyone where sunscreen on a daily basis, even in the winter? Skin cancer is rampant in this country. I live in Southern California where it’s practically summer-like all year round so wearing sunscreen is a necessity. Burt’s Bees uses natural Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide rather than chemical sunscreens to provide a physical layer of protection from the sun’s UVA/UVB rays.
I use products from the Burt’s Bees line because they are free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and petrochemicals. I also value a company who discloses their products entire list of ingredients. The company even goes so far as to give each product a rating as to how natural it is (usually above 90% with half of the products 100% natural).
The Radiance Day Lotion retails for $18.00 and is available for purchase directly on the site. I also find that Target carries a ton of products from the Burt’s Bees line!
Profuse thanks to Burt’s Bees and Mom Fuse for this review opportunity!
