Borba Skincare A Natural Alternative



With the green movement still holding strong and natural alternatives for skin care on the rise, we were introduced to Borba, a natural based skin care line. Scott-Vincent Borba a pioneer in nutraceuticals has developed a line of products with natural elements infused.

The Replenishing Quench Masque boosts and retains moisture to renew dull dried out skin, a added bonus is the ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, for better looking skin. Key ingredients are Lychee, Ginseng, Aloe, Cucumber, Apricot and Soy to sooth and heal rough, flaky skin.

Unlike other skin care products Borba's price point will not break the bank. Most of the line retails between $30-100.00 depending on what your interested in, but we feel the line is worth the investment due to it's natural based content. Investing is quality skin care is vital as we all age, and Karl Lagerfeld might have said it best "If your cheap nothing helps" .

VMV HYPOALLERGENICS




With the ever-constant onslaught of skin creams and treatments many of us run the risk of either the product not working or suffering a skin reaction to what we have just purchased. A new line of skin care VMV HYPOALLERGENICS is slowing making it's way to out US shores.

What makes this line different from others is a custom designed rating system created by Dr. Vermen Verrallo-Rowell. The system is similar to SPF ratings but is concentrated on the twenty seven known allergens most people suffer from. The research and development behind the products is vast and time consuming but the end result is a line of products which are free from many of the harsh chemicals found in other skin care regiments.

VMV HYPOALLERGENICS offers a full line of products for everyday use as well solutions for problem skin. Please note that some of the products can be viewed as prescription since they are not to be used everyday but can be bought over-the-counter.

In our own bathroom/laboratory we road tested the Superwash Hair and Body Milk Shampoo & GLYKEROS Lift Off Treatment Comfort Cleansing Creme. The Superwash is non-scented and lathers up pretty well, as for the GLYKEROS Lift off Cleansing Creme we like the infusion of the Bamboo Crystals and Cirebelle Beads which serve as the micro dermabrasion. The creme is light enough to be used two times a day.
