Fab Five Fridays: Skin Care Emergency Edition!

My skin has gone absolutely haywire this past week: I had an allergic reaction to a lip balm {and now I have puffy, dry, irritated lips}, a bad reaction {though I don't think this was an allergy related} to some wax strips I used on my upper lip {don't judge me}, and some other general tomfoolery going on along my jawline. So I took some decisive action last night and went in to emergency mode with my skin care while the lil bits bathed. Some of these products I've used before and are sort of tried and true, others are new, so while I'm not quite ready to do a full review on them, I have to share, because this morning I woke up to a markedly improved complexion!

Fab Five Fridays: Mama Mio Favorites

Though I have a real interest in taking care of the skin on my face, honestly I tend to neglect the rest of my body. Don't get me wrong, I make sure I'm clean and moisturized all over, but I pretty much tend to the basics when it comes to the skin that's not on my face. I think it may be because carrying 3 babies was not exactly kind to my skin and I feel that topical measures won't really do much to improve it's state so I've just given up. Lately my overall attitude about health, fitness and maintenance has improved for the better, including a more intensive look at how I take care of myself from head to toe, inside and out. Just in time for my "system overhaul" I got the opportunity to try some specially targeted body products from the international skincare brand, Mama Mio. I already have a great impression of the brand based on their Eye Know Eye Serum {which I reviewed here}, but these products have giving me even more reason to love the brand {and my body}!

Eye Know They're the Windows to My Soul! AKA: mama mio's Eye Know High Protein Moisturizing Eye Serum

I'm kind of a newb when it comes to taking care of my eyes area, but I'm fully on board now (well, maybe half on board). I've tried a few different creams and so far mama mio's Eye Know High Protein Moisturizing Eye Serum is my favorite!

Don't Miss Out! Complete the Fit Skin Test from Mama Mio

Though I have a real interest in taking care of the skin on my face, honestly I tend to neglect the rest of my body. Don't get me wrong, I make sure I'm clean and moisturized all over, but I pretty much tend to the basics when it comes to the skin that's not on my face. I think it may be because carrying 3 babies was not exactly kind to my skin and I feel that topical measures won't really do much to improve it's state so I've just given up. Lately my overall attitude about health, fitness and maintenance has improved for the better, including a more intensive look at how I take care of myself from head to toe, inside and out. Just in time for my "system overhaul" I came across this wonderful initiative from the international skincare brand, Mama Mio. 

This summer, Mama Mio is launching a Fit Skin For Life campaign, which aims to educate and inspire women across the world about skin fitness and help them feel more confident in their own skin.

As part of this initiative, Mama Mio has created an online Fit Skin Test (available at fitskinforlife.com) to help women understand their skin. Each woman who takes the quick test will receive a personalized Fit Skin Report, which features nutrition and exercise advice as well as tips to improve and maintain smooth, firm fit skin.

While taking the test won't take up too much of your time, it is quite comprehensive.The questions cover topics such as fitness, diet, and weight, as well as spots, wrinkles, and acne. It is really worth the time it takes to answer the questions; it's actually really thought provoking and makes you take a real close examination of the current state of your skin and how you want to change and improve it's health. It really made me think about what my body has been through and how I need to pay more attention to how I take care of it. The personalized Fit Skin Report that they send back is impressively thorough and as comprehensive as the test. Mama Mio's goal is to help you to make your skin work and look its absolute best-for you to be smooth, firm from head to toe, and for you to feel gorgeous and confident. 

You can take the Fit Skin Test at fitskinforlife.com and in only a few hours the founders of Mama Mio will respond with a customized blueprint to help you get Fit Skin For Life! I encourage you to take the test as soon as you can; it is so well worth the valuable insight and information and it's only available through this weekend! Until next time...

Ciao, XxO
