These infrared rays penetrate deep into your body, promoting a host of health benefits.

One of the key advantages of the Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket is its convenience.

The benefits of infrared sauna therapy are numerous.

Firstly, it aids in detoxification by promoting sweating, which helps eliminate toxins and heavy metals from the body. This cleansing effect can support healthy skin, reduce blemishes, and improve overall complexion.

Additionally, the deep heat generated by the infrared rays can help relax muscles, relieve tension, and reduce muscle soreness. Regular use of the Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket may also help improve circulation, enhance metabolism, and support weight loss goals.

Compared to traditional dry saunas, the Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket offers several advantages.

Firstly, the infrared rays penetrate deeper into the body, resulting in a more intense and effective detoxification process. The lower heat environment of an infrared sauna is also more tolerable for many individuals, making it accessible to a wider range of people. Moreover, the portable nature of the sauna blanket allows for flexibility in usage, and it can be easily shared with friends and family.

In conclusion, the Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket is a revolutionary wellness device that harnesses the power of infrared heat to provide a myriad of benefits.

At 39 years old, I’ve finally found the solution to my adult hormonal acne troubles, but it wasn’t an easy road. For more than 6 years, I sought help from conventional doctors, naturopaths, dermatologists, and countless other healthcare professionals, but nothing seemed to work. Even the “proven” prescriptions like tretinoin fell short. It was at the point of accepting my fate that a glimmer of hope appeared.

Over the past nine months, I’ve made gradual changes that have reduced my acne breakouts by about 90%. Join me in this video as I share my personal story of holistic health and healing for my acne-prone skin.

One crucial component of my holistic health journey has been therapeutic vitamin C supplementation.

Vitamin C is not only an essential nutrient but also a potent antioxidant that offers numerous benefits for acne and overall health. Discover how to determine your body’s individual vitamin C needs and learn about therapeutic dosages by researching “vitamin C bowel tolerance.” I personally use Nutribiotic Pure Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Powder and incorporate it into my daily water intake. Remember to use glass cups or jugs, as vitamin C doesn’t interact well with plastic or metal.

I’ve also found topical vitamin C serum to be highly effective.

Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum, featuring sodium ascorbyl phosphate, has become a popular skincare product for addressing acne-related concerns. It not only inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria but also neutralizes free radicals and promotes collagen production, aiding in scar healing and achieving a more even skin tone.

Another fascinating element of my holistic approach is the use of colloidal silver.

This liquid suspension of tiny silver particles exhibits antimicrobial properties, combatting bacteria associated with acne breakouts. By reducing inflammation and preventing new acne lesions, colloidal silver helps maintain clearer skin. I personally apply a thin coat of colloidal silver on my face before the vitamin C serum in the morning, and again at night. It’s been a beneficial addition to my skincare routine, contributing to fewer breakouts and surface-level pore infections.

Additionally, I’ve explored orthomolecular therapy, which emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition and supplementation.

After witnessing the positive impact of vitamin C on my skin, I realized that other nutrients might be missing from my diet. “The Vitamin Cure for Women’s Health Problems” book by Helen Saul Case became my guide, offering valuable insights into utilizing vitamins and minerals to address various health concerns specific to women. By following the recommended vitamin regimen for PMS (premenstrual syndrome), I experienced significant improvements in the clarity of my skin and relief from other PMS symptoms that had plagued me for years.

I use this vitamin organizer.

In this video, I also dive into the essential role of gut health in healing acne.

The connection between the gut and the skin is undeniable, as the gut microbiome influences immune response, inflammation levels, nutrient absorption, and toxin elimination. By maintaining a healthy gut through a balanced diet, probiotics, and lifestyle changes, we can reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and optimize nutrient absorption and toxin elimination, ultimately benefiting acne healing.

Join me on this transformative journey of holistic health and holistic living as I share my personal experiences, recommendations, and the resources that have helped me achieve healthier, clearer skin.

Together, let’s embrace a holistic approach to health and skincare, unlocking the power of internal and external well-being for radiant skin and overall wellness. Don’t miss this eye-opening video that will change the way you think about acne treatment and empower you to take control of your health.

If you’re finally ready to ditch that cheap, disposable razor that’s been sitting in the shower for months, you may be considering the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver. So, in this video, I’m putting it to the test! Tune in for a complete overview, shaving demo and honest review to help inform your purchase decision.

Panasonic is already a household name with a solid reputation. But does the brand deliver with this particular ladies electric shaver?

I have to admit, I was skeptical going in. I’ve used a disposable razor my entire life, and I think it works just fine. So, why would I pay the extra money and go through the hassle of a ladies electric shaver? Well, I was curious! And of course I need all the info for my GR ladies!

But I also have this problem at the beach in the summer. If I shave the morning of a beach day with my disposable razor, my legs burn like crazy in the salt water. But if I shave the day before to avoid the burn, I lose my ultra-smooth finish before my feet even hit the sand. I figured there has to be a better way!

I decided to check out the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver.

Let’s dive in and take a really close look at the product specs, performance and overall value. I promise you’ll feel good about whether or not to make this purchase once we’re through.

General Product Specs

The Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver is a wet/dry hair removal system with 3 floating ultra-sharp stainless-steel blades and an ultra-thin foil. This shaver is meant to follow the curves of your body for a close, comfortable shave. It also has a pop-up trimmer to capture stray hairs and detail the legs, underarms and bikini area.

You’ll want to move the shaver back and forth, holding it at a 90-degree angle so that the trimmers and foil work together. You can lift the pop-up trimmer to shave longer hairs.

Charging

The Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver is cordless and rechargeable. It comes with a compact space-saving charger making it portable and travel friendly. The battery charges in 12 hours and will run for up to 20 minutes. Panasonic recommends that you charge the shaver fully for 12 hours before using it for the first time and then weekly after that. A full charge should last about 7 shaves.

Note that the shaver may not begin charging right away once placed in the charger. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then re-check to ensure it begins charging.

Be sure to dry the shaver completely before charging it. And only use the charger in a dry location, keeping it out of extreme temperatures.

Cleaning

You can fully immerse this electric shaver for in-shower shaving and easy cleaning. Although, you’ll want to avoid submerging it for too long. Be sure to clean it only with tap water and liquid hand soap after each use. This will keep the unit free from odors and bacteria, and the blades and foil in good cutting condition. While handling this shaver, be gentle with the foil in particular, as it’s very thin and easily damaged.

Panasonic does not recommend any other cleaning agents, as they can weaken or damage the shaver. Also, never use boiling water.

While washing, turn the shaver on and off after a few seconds. Next, press the outer foil frame release buttons to remove the outer foil frame and rinse the inner blade/outer foil under running water. Dry the components before putting them back together.

You can store this electric shaver in its travel pouch until next use, or until it needs it’s next full charging.

Replacing the blades

Panasonic recommends that you replace the outer foil at least once a year, and the inner blade at least every two years. To replace the outer foil, simply press the outer foil frame release buttons to remove it. Then, squeeze the front and the back side of the outer foil frame and lift up one of the two knobs on the outer foil.

To insert the new outer foil, slip the foil into the frame and guide the plastic edges onto the hooks in the outer foil frame until it clicks into the shaver.

To replace the inner blade, squeeze the outer foil frame release buttons and lift it upward to remove it. Remove the inner blade by grasping it firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. To insert the new inner blade, hold the blade at both ends and press downward until it snaps into the shaver.

All of this information can be found in the Operating Instructions for this product.

REVIEW

PROS: Let’s start with what I like about the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver.

Charging/Battery

I really like that this ladies electric shaver comes already charged. Of course, you should follow the manual and give it the full 12 hours of charging before first use. But we all know that sometimes you get a product home just in the nick of time and really need it to work right out of the box. You can do that with the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver.

The compact charging station is also attractive and easy to keep in the bathroom, right next to my vanity. I love that there are no cords!

Handling

The Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver is smooth, lightweight and easy to handle. It was comfortable to grip through the entirety of my test shave, which was about 15 minutes.

LEGS

I give this shaver an A for shaving performance on the legs.

I was heading to the beach the same day I tested this shaver. So, I assumed I’d have to hop in the shower with my disposable razor to get rid of the stubble this one might leave behind. But that was not the case! My legs were totally smooth after shaving with the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver with absolutely no razor burn.

I was able to glide easily over my big toe, the top of my foot, around my ankle and behind my leg. With my disposable razor, I tend to avoid hard-to-reach spots because it’s inconvenient and I don’t want to cut myself. But with this shaver, I was able to hit all areas of my leg easily without fear of drawing blood. That was a nice and pleasant upgrade from my usual shaving routine!

I didn’t have any burning in the salt water that day at the beach!

I was so excited to walk into the water that day with smooth, fresh legs that weren’t on fire! This is a huge deal for me! It’s a never-ending battle each summer, as I described above. And it only took until I was 38 to try something different. Haha! We all get stuck in our ways, right?!

BIKINI AREA

I give this shaver a B+ for shaving performance on the bikini area.

This shaver was definitely a few steps up from the disposable razor when it comes to the bikini area. I really liked that I could capture longer hairs with the pop-up trimmer and then smooth out all the hard-to-reach places around my bikini line with the foil trimmer. The Panasonic definitely offered a more thorough shave vs. my disposable razor. I did not experience any razor burn in my bikini area.

Again, I was at the beach the same day I tested this shaver. It was nice knowing I was free from the dreaded bikini stubble and stray hairs sticking out of my bathing suit!

UNDER ARMS

This is where things took a turn.

Unfortunately, I have to give this shaver an F for shaving performance under the arms.

This shaver did a solid job on my legs and bikini area. So, I was surprised by its poor performance under my arms! I don’t know if it was user error or maybe the skin under my arms is just sensitive and not used to an electric shaver. But let me tell you, I got the worst rash that left scabs and took days to heal! And while my legs weren’t burning at the beach that day, my armpits sure were! I was so uncomfortable, I had to head home early.

Here’s a picture of the rash:

PRO TIP: I was able to soothe my underarm rash with Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist. I love this mist for everyday moisturizing. Now, I love it even more for skin inflammation and irritation! Hydrating Nutrient Mist is a must-have in every home, I swear. My husband and kids even use it. Read more on my Mad Hippie Skincare post.

All things considered, here’s my final assessment.

I will continue using the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver for my legs and bikini area. It did a solid job in those areas and was a clear step (or more) up from my disposable razor.

It’s also nice to have something handy for a quick dry shave when you’re in a pinch, but don’t feel like jumping back in the shower with your disposable razor.

And like I said, it’ll definitely be my go-to on beach days to avoid that dreaded salt-water burn!

Of course, it’s not going anywhere near my underarms again! I will have to continue using my disposable razor and consider other options for shaving in that area (e.g. waxing).

Should you purchase this ladies electric shaver?

Yes, if you’re looking for an alternative to a disposable razor and would like a smooth, stubble-free shave on your legs and bikini area. It’s particularly good for a dry shave, in my opinion.

No, if you want the same shaver to also take care of your underarms. The poor underarm performance could have been on me and my sensitive skin. But, unfortunately, I can’t recommend it for underarms after that rash I got!

I hope this review of the Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Electric Shaver was helpful!

Until next time!

Mad Hippie skincare has always piqued my interest. But I’ve been using a prescription retinol cream called Tretinoin for a few years. So, I’ve steered clear of over-the-counter face creams and serums for a while.

But I’ve decided to take a break from Tretinoin and pursue more natural alternatives. I finally decided to give Mad Hippie a try. I’ve tested out 5 of their products:

Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin A Serum

AHA Exfoliating Peel

Hydrating Nutrient Mist

Eye Cream

Now, anytime I talk skincare, it’s always going to be in the context of acne-prone skin…

Because I have acne-prone skin.

I’ve gone through periods of time where my breakouts were really bad. There have also been periods of time when my skin’s been clear. But the fact is, I have acne-prone skin and I’m always working to avoid or heal breakouts.

Please note that I do not believe any skincare product will cure acne.

While there are topical and environmental elements that cause breakouts, true chronic acne stems from internal issues. This includes stress and hormone imbalance, gut health, food sensitivities and the like. I’m not a doctor. I’ve just seen this in my own research and personal acne experience.

Even tretinoin, which is the gold standard topical acne treatment, never stopped my breakouts. It heals pimples and red spots fast so there’s less build-up of blemishes. But my skin still broke out regularly until I figured out what was going on internally.

All that said, we can absolutely take care of our skin topically while we heal acne from the inside out. Clean, conscious skincare is a great way to do that. So, I’m excited to be trying out Mad Hippie!

Mad Hippie skincare is a clean beauty line.

Clean beauty is so important to me. Opting for prescription Tretinoin was a last resort. But in all other cases, I look for clean, natural, non-toxic products. And I often use the EWG Healthy Living App to verify safety.

So, Mad Hippie skincare is a clean beauty brand. They built the company on the notion that “natural skincare can be every bit as effective as traditional”. They say, “Parabens, synthetic fragrance, dyes, petrochemicals, PEGs, SLS and other nasty additives aren’t necessities. In fact, they have no place in the products we, and those we love, put on our bodies.” 

This all sounds great and makes me eager to give Mad Hippie skincare products a try.

However, there are many natural, non-toxic products that my skin hasn’t reacted well to. In fact, I tend to be very minimalist in my skincare routine. I don’t like mainstream products that have harmful chemicals. And at the same time, many natural products also irritate my skin.

I was very curious to see how my skin would respond to Mad Hippie. Watch the video for a complete rundown of my experience testing out these 5 products.

Spoiler Alert: Mad Hippie skincare products have been very gentle on my skin.

In fact, they’re exceptionally soothing and calming. I’m always so excited to find a skincare line that’s safe, effective and non-irritating. The last product line I reviewed, Amazon Aware, is great in these ways, too. It’s currently my go-to beauty brand for face cleanser and face moisturizer.

OK, so let’s dive into each of the 5 Mad Hippie skincare products I tested out.

Vitamin C Serum

Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum is a powerful mix of antioxidants. It’s meant to help improve the overall appearance of your skin – including a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and skin discoloration.

It’s made with a stable form of vitamin C and is accompanied by Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid. That’s double the antioxidant protection. Other powerful ingredients in this serum are Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance that can help increase the plumped-up look of the skin – and Konjac Root Powder – which helps to soften and smooth the skin while forming a thin protective barrier.

This serum is perfect for acne prone skin because the ingredients are soothing and non-irritating. It’s intended for morning application, after you wash your face and before your moisturizer and make up. You may also apply it a second time at night if you’re not already using another serum.

Vitamin C Serum is great for daytime use because it’s full of antioxidants.

Vitamin A Serum

Mad Hippie Vitamin A Serum contains a new form of vitamin A that is significantly more bioavailable than retinol. Other key ingredients include vegan sourced ceramides & sodium hyaluronate, oat beta glucan and aloe vera.

The Vitamin A Serum is jam packed with goodness for your skin and is said to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and discoloration. It helps to reveal more youthful looking skin. It also hydrates, soothes, nourishes and protects.

This serum is best after nighttime cleansing. Just apply a drop of serum into your hand and massage into the skin. A few minutes after the serum dries, you can apply your nighttime moisturizer.

AHA Exfoliating Peel

This AHA Exfoliating Peel is a brightening alpha hydroxy acid-based serum. It’s meant to help you shed dull skin and reduce the appearance of skin discoloration, blemishes and age spots, while smoothing texture & wrinkles. This exfoliating peel is full of antioxidants thanks to ingredients like goji berry and Apple stem cells. Other impressive ingredients include Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Gigawhite. (Gigawhite is a blend of organic alpine plants that are extremely effective for evening skin tone.)

The AHA Exfoliating Peel is an alternative to the Vitamin A Serum. You don’t want to layer these products. But you can use them on alternating nights before bed. Like the Vitamin A, nighttime is best for this serum.

With the exfoliating peel, you’re going to apply a small amount to your face and neck after cleansing. You can follow with a moisturizer once it dries – usually in 5-10 minutes. Keep it on overnight and then wash your face in the morning before you start your day.

Hydrating Nutrient Mist

This mist is full of antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to help you moisturize and minimize the appearance of skin discoloration. It’s meant for use on the face, arms, neck and chest.

Mad Hippie’s Hydrating Nutrient Mist is comprised of an impressive ingredients list including Gingko Biloba, Vitamin C, Green Tea, White Pine Bark and Pomegranate Seed Extract. All of these ingredients help your skin look and feel its best.

This mist is best applied immediately after cleansing while your skin is still damp. However, it can be reapplied throughout the day as needed.

Mad Hippie’s Hydrating Nutrient Mist works great as a toner and to reduce redness and irritation. It also works to reduce the appearance of undereye discoloration thanks to the ingredient Hesperidin.

Eye Cream

The Eye Cream combines peptides and antioxidants to care for the delicate skin under our eyes. Among the impressive list of natural ingredients are Vitamin C and Pomegranate.

This eye cream is best applied to under-eye skin by massaging in an upward, circular motion. Avoid tugging or pulling on the skin and make sure it absorbs completely.

Overall, I really like the Mad Hippie skincare products I’ve tested out!

They’re all so gentle on my sensitive skin and so far they’re doing a great job of nourishing and protecting my skin while I manage my acne without tretinoin.

If you have acne prone skin – remember, healing acne is an inside job. But topical skincare products can help heal breakouts faster and prevent some of the surface issues that only make acne worse. It’s only been a few weeks, so I don’t know if these Mad Hippie skincare products will replace the power of Tretinoin. Tretinoin is certainly a great acne management medicine, as long as you’re aware of and comfortable with the side effects. 

If you don’t have acne-prone skin, from what I can tell so far, these are probably some of the best skincare products on the market. We’ll see how they do managing breakouts in the longer term, because those kinds of results take a little time to kick in. But in terms of soothing, brightening and overall improving the appearance of skin, they’re pretty impressive products.

I would absolutely recommend checking out Mad Hippie skincare. I think this line is particularly good for women in their 30s and 40s who are starting to really think about maintaining bright, smooth, youthful looking skin as they mature through their prime.

If you’re looking for safer beauty products that are kinder to your health, your budget and the environment, look no further than the new Amazon Aware skincare line.

I know! It surprised me, too! I tend to associate conscious shopping with smaller, niche businesses like beautycounter. But Amazon seems to have come through on this one!

We’re going to look at 5 different Amazon Aware skincare products in this video:

Balancing Face Cleanser for Oily to Combination Skin

Balancing Face Moisturizer for Oily to Combination Skin

Daily Body Wash

Daily Body Lotion

Nourishing Body Cream

EWG-Verified Skincare

These skincare products are all EWG-Verified. EWG is the Environmental Working Group. This verification means EWG has reviewed the products to ensure they adhere to strict health standards and don’t contain known chemicals of concern.

Did you know there are ingredients in MANY mainstream health, beauty and personal care products that are harmful to our health? It’s definitely something we should all be paying more attention to, so we can make better choices for ourselves and our families. EWG helps us do that.

I’ve been using EWG’s Healthy Living App for a few years now.

The EWG Healthy Living App allows you to scan product barcodes to get a safety rating based on ingredients. All 5 of these products get very high ratings in the App. This gives me peace of mind as I think about swapping them into my current skincare routine.

The body wash and face cleanser do have flags in the allergy category. But, this is typical of more natural products because some people are sensitive to natural plant extracts.

Amazon Aware skincare products are dermatologist tested, vegan, not tested on animals, and formulated without fragrance. Some are also ophthalmologist-tested.

Environmentally Friendly

These days, we know we must do a better job of caring for the environment. And shopping Amazon Aware is an easy way to do that.

According to Amazon, “All Amazon Aware products are certified as carbon neutral and feature certifications that are part of the Climate Pledge Friendly program.”

Also, the sleek, modern packaging is sustainably made from materials like 100% recycled aluminum, and all plastic pumps are reusable when you order your product refills.

OK, let’s dive into the 5 products I tested.

Note: there’s a lot of information in this blog post, but definitely watch the video for my complete review on each of these products, as well as the skincare line as a whole.

Amazon Aware Balancing Face Cleanser – Check Price on Amazon

This is a light, gentle cleanser made with arnica and calendula extracts, which are fabulous ingredients to help keep skin feeling clean, healthy and hydrated without stripping away natural oils.

This cleanser offers a nice lather and rinses off easily. It’s gentle on my sensitive skin, while still getting the job done to remove my makeup at night.

I love that there’s no scent, aside from a subtle hint of the extracts.

Amazon Aware Balancing Face Moisturizer – Check Price on Amazon

This one’s made with licorice root extract and vitamin C to balance, refresh, and brighten skin. It’s light weight, spreads easily and absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. It’s also quite gentle and calming on my sensitive skin.

I’ve been using this moisturizer in the morning before applying my makeup, and before bed. After a few weeks, it’s proving to be a great alternative to other moisturizers I’ve tried. I love that my skin doesn’t become as oily throughout the day and overnight. This means fewer clogged pores and fewer breakouts.

Amazon Aware Daily Body Wash – Check Price on Amazon

The Amazon Aware Daily Body Wash is a cleansing gel meant for everyday use. It has a perfect feel and consistency that glides on and rinses off easily. It’s a pretty run-of-the-mill liquid body soap, but it gets the job done without harmful chemicals. I keep a bottle on hand for when I run out of my Dr. Bronner’s Liquid Castile Soap (still my favorite body wash, for myself and the kids).

Amazon Aware Daily Body Lotion – Check Price on Amazon

This is a nourishing body lotion with shea butter and vitamin E, both of which are great for your skin. I’ve been using this lotion for a few weeks now and it’s fantastic – a lighter alternative to the Body Cream.

The body lotion is immediately beneficial in terms of moisturizing skin. And like the other Amazon Aware products I’ve tested, it doesn’t leave a greasy residue – just apply and go about your day.

Because of the sleek, modern packaging, this is a nice one to keep on your desk at work or by the kitchen sink.

Amazon Aware Nourishing Body Cream – Check Price on Amazon

The Body Cream is very similar to the Body Lotion, but richer and thicker in texture. I’d go for this one in the dry, winter months when my skin needs some extra TLC.

It’s also formulated with shea butter and vitamin E.

Overall, these are solid conscious beauty products.

Amazon Aware is certainly not alone in the conscious beauty or safer skincare categories. But the EWG verification and ease of adding to my Amazon order definitely tips the scale in its favor.

I’ve already swapped out some of my current skincare products with Amazon Aware alternatives. In particular, the Balancing Face Cleanser and Balancing Face Moisturizer – both for oily to combination skin – are new favorites of mine. They make a noticeable difference in reducing the oil buildup on my skin throughout the day and at night. This means fewer clogged pores and fewer breakouts.

(Note that the face cleanser and moisturizer for dry to normal skin both contain oil, so if you’re prone to breakouts like me, you may want to avoid those skus.)

On top of all that, all of these products come in attractive packaging that looks great around my house – and they’re affordable. I wouldn’t say they’re cheap by any means, but certainly far more economical than some of the more boutique-y safer beauty products.

The Amazon Aware Safer Skincare products I’ve tried definitely get my seal of approval.

I’m happy to recommend giving these products a try if you’re looking for more conscious alternatives in your skincare arsenal.
