Product Review: Apivita's Ginger + Orange body scrub

Apivita is a Greek skincare and bodycare line that uses mostly natural ingredients. I wasn't familiar with this line at all and walked into their pretty store looking for a body scrub. I try to exfoliate my body once or twice a week (depending on the city grime level). I don't particularly like strong scents in my skincare or bodycare unless its minty or eucalyptus. Unfortunately, Apivita's line does not have either of those two scents and found the Ginger + Orange body scrub titled "Body Energy" to calming. My favorite aspect of this scrub is the creamy feel of the scrub with smaller granules than a rough salt scrub. I prefer creamy scrubs than abrasive scrubs.







According to their website: 
91% natural ingredients
  • Dead sea salts, bamboo and luffa grains remove dead skin cells and invigorate the skin
  • Propolis and olive offer antioxidant protection
  • Orange and ginger essential oils revitalize and lift the mood
Exclusive Innovation: APIVITA replaces water in the body care line with organic witch hazel infusion to enhance the antioxidant and soothing action.
Excludes synthetic ingredients that may pose harmful effects to your health and the environment.
Free of: Parabens, Propylene Glycol, Mineral Oil and Ethanolomine.


Results: I used a loofah with this product and my skin feels cleansed, soft, and buttery soft after using this scrub. I would purchase this product again and recommend it to my friends.

Always Youthful

My Birthday is coming up. A milestone birthday I dread, but getting more comfortable with the idea. Most people I meet are shocked to find out my age. Here are some of my beauty tips for looking youthful.. I do credit a lot of genetics and race though because both my parents took a long time to look their age.

1) Drink Water
2) Drink Tea
3) Eat Greens
4) Dance
5) Yoga
6) Smile, Laugh, Joke around
7) C'est la vie! Be easy going
8) Invest in regular facials - about 1x a month
9) Good quality skincare - wear SPF!
10) Don't bake your skin in the sun - those years in SoCal didn't help my skin
11) No Smoking
12) Exfoliate 2-3x a week
13) Moisturize
14) Exercise
15) Sleep 6-10 hours a night
16) A face mask once a week
