Crystal Tomato – skin brightening and beauty from within

A pill for pigmentation? What?! That was my reaction when I first heard about this supplement. I’ve heard of peels, lotions and potions to treat pigmentation, but this is new to me. So I did a little digging.

Crystal Tomato® is a revolutionary one-a-day oral health supplement made from 100% natural ingredients to help you achieve even toned and healthier skin from within.

 

The active ingredient in Crystal Tomato is colourless carotenoids which is found in an unique breed of non-genetically modified white tomatoes. This natural extract has no side effects, is as safe to consume as a tomato and is suitable for vegetarians. The only individuals who can’t use these supplements are those with a tomato allergy. L-Cysteine, an amino acid, is also included in the formulation and this boosts the liver’s production of Glutathione, which is said to be the body’s ‘master anti-oxidant’.

This supplement has a myriad of benefits but what stood out for me is the fact that it reduces melanin already present in cells, it inhibits melanin synthesis to prevent pigmentation spots from forming and it serves as a natural sunscreen against UVA and UVB rays. So basically it will help reduce pigmentation spots already present, prevent future pigmentation spots from forming and it protects against UV damage and sunburn.

This sounds like a wonderful innovation and may just be the answer for those who suffer from severe pigmentation.

Radiant skin thanks to REN Skincare

I am seriously crushing on this brand right now. I have only recently started using their products, but have been lusting after REN for years. Also see my previous reviews HERE and HERE.

The number 1 product that I have been wanting to try is the GLYCOLACTIC RADIANCE RENEWAL MASK. Off the bat I knew I was going to be impressed as so many bloggers give this mask rave reviews.

A potent bio active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dramatically improve skin tone. Results: Skin looks brighter, healthier, more radiant. Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combats congestion, blackheads and blemishes.

A generous amount of the gel-like mask is applied onto clean skin and left to do its magic for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes my skin looks radiant and bright and feels silky smooth. I love using it when my skin needs a little extra boost. It also works beautifully after a deep cleansing mask. R490.

RESURFACING AHA CONCENTRATE

When I see AHA I always get excited. Love me some acids, ha-ha.

A concentrate formulated to resurface the skin and renew the complexion giving a radiant, youthful glow. A complex of Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric and Citric acids promotes skin-cell turnover leaving skin looking revitalised, brighter, smoother and more healthy.

I apply this product at night after I’ve cleansed, before applying my serums and moisturiser. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and I think it’s worth every cent. My skin is left smooth and radiant and I wake up looking fresh. My skin looks brighter and more even since I’ve started using it. Great stuff REN. R480

I prefer exfoliators that come in liquid or mask form as my skin can be very sensitive to abrasive scrubs. Luckily this one has not irritated my skin at all. I use it once a week and usually follow with a deep cleansing mask. As far as scrubs go, I really like this one. R320
