Summertime in the south is the season for sandals and flip flops. It also is the season for dry cracked heels. What do you use to heal your heels? Thanks!

Help for Dry Cracked Heels

I was kindly gifted by Viegano and Picky the Bakuchiol and Tocopherol Serum in exchange for my honest review.  It is a vegan revitalizing serum that reduces discoloration and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  It is loaded with antioxidants that soothe the skin and help prevent early aging and retain firmness.  Bakuchiol is a gentler alternative to retinol.  It is plant based and helps to minimize breakouts, reduce pores, and boost collagen to improve skin firmness and elasticity.  Tocopherol is a form of vitamin e that strengthens the skin barrier and reduces redness. It also contains squalane to help skin retain moisture and sodium hyaluronate to prevent dryness.  

I love that it is fragrance free.  It is a milky white serum that is a bit thicker than water and absorbs well without any residue.  It makes my skin feel hydrated, moisturized, soft and supple.   I like the lovely green glass jar packaging.  Viegano had it packaged and wrapped up so nicely.  It is a lovely gift. 


I have heard that collagen is not easily absorbed into the skin and that it is better to take internally. I received this product for free from Picky and Ownist in exchange for my honest review. Ownist has a Triple Collagen Orange flavored packet that provides 3 elements for the skin.  1- collagen to strengthen and smooth the skin, 2- hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin and 3- elastin to help with elasticity.  And in addition it contains vitamin C.  This is not a powdered drink mix as I originally presumed.  You sip it straight from the packet.  It can be refrigerated or frozen like a popsicle.  It can also be added to smoothies, water or juice.  It has a nice orange juice-like flavor.  One to two packets can be taken per day.  There are 14 packets in the box, which will last 1-2 weeks if used daily.  When I take collagen I feel like my nails and hair are stronger and healthier and my skin has a radiance and glow. 


I received this product for free from Picky and By Wishtrend in exchange for my honest review. It is the Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream.  It comes in a yellow and purple pump bottle that is so fun.  The color of the product is a bright yellow that is the natural color of Retinal, one of the key ingredients along with Bakuchiol. These work together to help reduce fine lines and signs of aging. I love that it contains both. I also love that it is fragrance free.  The texture is creamy, lightweight and absorbs well without leaving any residue. It is gentle and I have not experienced any irritation.   I use it as my last step in my nighttime skincare routine. 


I received this product for free from Picky and Mary&May in exchange for my honest review. 

I used the Idebenone Blackberry Intense Cream last winter and I loved the rich moisturizing texture.  It is buttery yellow in color.  It is a thicker rich cream. It absorbs well and doesn’t leave me sticky.  It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, moisturized and nourished.  I love that it is fragrance free.  I am so glad to have another jar as it is so good for dry winter skin. 



I received this product for free from Picky and DR. G in exchange for my honest review. I have acne prone skin.  This lightweight gel-like cream helps get rid of my blemishes quicker.  It contains one of my favorite soothing ingredients, centella asiatica.  It is also deeply hydrating.  It absorbs well without any stickiness and it is fragrance free.
