If looking for an affordable serum that protects, brightens and repairs skin the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum is worth considering

I picked up the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum on iHerb without knowing too much about it. It was one of those purchases on a whim, if you may.

It was pretty affordable, and I’m always curious about a new Vitamin C serum. But primarily, it was affordable, and as much as I love my luxury skincare products, I too love a good budget find! 😀

Incidentally, I’ve been approached by Yeouth to ‘review’ their products, for which they offered me credit to purchase on iHerb, and then post a review of it. I declined the offer as it was far too much trouble than it was worth. The products aren’t very expensive, and I had already purchased them anyway. However, this has resulted in my viewing online and Instagram reviews of Yeouth products with a jaundiced eye. Most people will not disclose this fact of ‘sponsorship’ and while I have nothing against it, I do think it is appropriate to disclose it for transparency, so readers are able to better evaluate your review.

And now, on to what I think of the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum 🙂

For a moisturizing, radiant glow, I gave the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil a shot!

I love me a good facial oil, and anything with Vitamin C. And I also thoroughly enjoyed using the Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum. One of the complementary items in the CEO range was the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil, and when I bought my trial kit a while ago, a deluxe sample size came with it.

I believe Sunday Riley had the CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil first, before they came out with the Vitamin C serum. It was one of those things I’d been meaning to try for the longest time.

Now that I have, was it worth the wait? 😀

Sun damaging your skin? Here’s how I protect mine after prolonged sun exposure

January 19, 2021 Paris B 6 Comments

I was always an indoors person. Never very sporty or outdoorsy. It was easier for me to look after my skin then. Staying indoors is generally better for your skin, because of the reduced UV and sun exposure.

But then, I got a dog and all hell pretty much broke loose LOL!

Having a dog comes with many responsibilities, and one of them is daily walks. That meant I was being moved out of my comfort zone, and out into the sun.

Initially, I wasn’t paying much attention to my skin. I’d rush through my morning skincare routine, slap on any ol’ sunscreen, and head out the door with puppers.

But as time went by, I noticed my skin was becoming more dry, dull and my pigmentation had gotten worse. I knew I had to do something.

Don’t be bitter, the Bitter Orange Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream is really good!

I’ve been digging around in my skincare cupboard stash lately, and I’m loving the stuff I’m finding! I’m like “Why haven’t I used/discovered this before?!”

Well, it’s because I was always so fickle before haha! Serves me right!

One of the things I picked up, and refused to put down, fairly recently, is the Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream with Bitter Orange.

Mamonde is a brand I’ve come to enjoy using, as their products seem to suit me and my skin. The best part of course, is that it’s pretty affordable, albeit a little basic, but hey, sometimes, that’s all we really need 🙂

So what sold me on this Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream?
