Tree Hut Sugared Fantasy Body Scrub

Tree Hut Sugared Fantasy Body Scrub  This is Aaliyah with Skin.Edu, and this is part 11 of a miniseries that I’ll call “Is it Aaliyah Approved?” where I review body and skincare products. Today I’m reviewing the Sugared Fantasy Body Scrub from the body scrub brand, Tree Hut. Without even trying this body scrub, I already knew I wasn’t going to like it. The scent wasn’t what I expected (although, at this point, I’m not sure I know what to expect from Tree Hut body scrubs), however I think I was hoping for a sweet candy scent, blueberry, or something like that since the container was blue and the name has sugar in it. I was wrong - at least about everything except for the blueberry, since it does have blueberry as a key ingredient. The scent notes are blackberry, vanilla, and jasmine, which is a nice combination, but I found this scrub to be a little too strong.  My skin felt okay afterwards, but I would definitely recommend using body butter or cream afterwards to keep your ski...

Diet and Skincare

This is Jillian with Skin.edu from TikTok. For those who struggle with acne: “There isn’t enough evidence that points to one food like chocolate or carbohydrates as contributing to acne because there just aren’t enough well-conducted studies,” “However, there have been several studies that have observed societies as they modernize, and as diet changes, acne incidence increases.”  Numerous studies have looked at what nutrients affect skin wrinkling, dryness and thinning. The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants present in foods like fruit, vegetables and healthy fats are consistently associated with fewer wrinkles and less age-related dryness. Reports that are saturated fat and sugar are most often linked to a higher likelihood of wrinkles      Please view this tik tok link for a quick helpful tip on a food that will help treat acne:  https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPd2oYk1o/

3 Step Cherry Almond Shave Routine

3 Step Cherry Almond Shave Routine This is Aaliyah with Skin.Edu, and today I’m sharing my favorite 3 - step shave routine using Bellavana Beauty’s Cherry Almond products.  The first product to use is the Cherry Almond Cream Body Wash, found here: https://bellavanabeautyllc.com/collections/cherry-almond/products/cream-body-wash-cherry-al . This product uses plant - based surfactants to gently cleanse skin without stripping the skin of it’s natural protective barrier. When it’s shave day, it’s important to use products that won’t disturb the skin’s barrier more than the act of shaving already will.  The second product is the Cherry Almond Nourishing Body Scrub, found here: https://bellavanabeautyllc.com/collections/cherry-almond/products/body-scrub-cherry-almond-1 . Exfoliating is probably the most important thing to do on shave days, as it removes buildup, dead skin, and creates a smooth foundation to shave, which in turn will reduce irritation, redness, and razor bumps. ...

Spinach is great for your skin

Spinach is great for your skin! Hi, this is Jillian with skin.edu on  TikTok. Popeye the comic strip/cartoon said spinach helped his strength and I bet Popeye the had great skin too, Spinach has so many benefits for skin. When applied topically, spinach is rich with benefits for your skin’s health. The leafy green makes an appearance. Incorporating spinach into your skincare routine and diet is helpful for your skin, hair, and bone health because it helps reduce inflammation. Spinach  provides you with vital nutrients. Spinach contains vitamins—namely vitamins A, C, and K—which work together to help your skin enhance its radiance. Vitamin A  helps your skin appear younger, healthier, and more hydrated. Vitamin C in spinach help with  complexions and hyperpigmentation, a skin condition in which patches of one’s skin are  darker than others. Your skin can start to appear unhealthy or age prematurely when free radicals latch onto your skin cells. By ...

Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Body Scrub Review

Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Body Scrub Review  This is Aaliyah with Skin.Edu, and this is part 4 of a miniseries that I’ll call “Is it Aaliyah Approved?” where I review body and skincare products. Today I’m reviewing the Tahitian Vanilla Body Scrub from the viral - worthy brand Tree Hut.  I was pretty disappointed with the scent of this product; I suppose I was expecting a little more of a sweetened vanilla scent, but the scent of this scrub was too overwhelming for me.  The scrub itself was okay and pretty gentle on my skin, but it didn’t leave my skin as soft and moisturized as I typically like from a body scrub. This product would be okay though for those who really prefer a long lasting fragrance.  You can find the product on Ulta.com for $9 for an 18 oz. jar: https://www.ulta.com/p/tahitian-vanilla-bean-shea-sugar-scrub-xlsImpprod18801211 .   So, is it “ Aaliyah Approved ”? My review is based on these categories: scent (scent of product), texture (textur...
