I’ve had this series called “Empty’s” for a few years now and basically it stemmed from the thought that it’s helpful to revisit an item after it’s been used long term and you decide whether to repurchase it. Or not.
I have two items in my empty bin today:
Bioelements Iconic Hyaluronic – find it here
I initially purchased this from my esthetician when I went for a facial last fall because my poor skin was SO DANG DRY and I needed relief. She recommended this serum but said for best results to dampen my face with water and then apply it and let it dry. Then, top it with facial moisturizer and SPF (if daytime). And holy WOW was she right!
This stuff is absolute magic. According to the description on the Bioelements website, it is designed for significant dehydration caused by hormanal shifts and restores the softness, healthy vibrance, and hydrated glow that age, perimenopause or menopause can steal. That is 100% right! In fact, it’s so good that as I was nearing the end of the bottle and looked to order more… it was on backorder! I quickly purchased another hyaluronic to hold me over and it was absolute crap. As soon as this one came back in stock, I ordered it and I’m back to having happy, soft, moisterized skin again. This one is absolutely a re-buy for me!
Nector Hydration Packets – find it here
My doctor advised me to start using one hydration packet each day to help with some of my hydration issues, so I immediately ordered a bunch of kinds to try. I wanted something that would give me my electrolytes, but not be too sugary and a good flavor is very important.
Out of a bunch of taste tests, my favorite is the Nector Hydration packets. I initially ordered the Classic Variety but quickly found that I only liked a few of the flavors. I just ran out of that set, so it is time to reorder and this time I went with the Wild Berry flavor for all 30 packets. I like to use half a packet for a full corksicle cup of ice water, so I spread my full packet out throughout the day. When I run out of Wild Berry, I may go with Cherry Pomegranate or Watermelon to mix it up. If you’re planning to start adding hydration packets to your day, I do recommend trying the variety pack first so you can figure out which flavors you like best!
