Ciao Mambino – let’s see your products
We’re back with more Mambino Naturals Organic products that are ones you think you’ll like as much as the ones we’ve previously reviewed. Mambino has so many types of products that we’re sure you’ll fall for many as much as we have. Marcia has been using the Anti-Cellulite Body Massager This is probably the best $10 you’ll spend. The Body Massager is delightful to use and own. This is a specially designed brush to “awaken the skin’s surface to help move fat-trapping fluids out while enhancing product application”. Use the Anti-Cellulite Body Massage either before your shower for dry brushing or after. Even better is using this with a body oil, specifically Moisture Me Nourishing Body Oil in my case. I have a dry brush but it’s nothing like this one. Mambino’s is made specifically for circulation flow and breaking up fat deposits. The back is smooth wood with a hand strap. The brush itself is made of hard rubber nubs on a washable rubber backing. There is give to these which I find to help with the massage aspect more than the dry brush aspect. Either way you use the Anti-Cellulite Body Massager, you’ll love what it does. Lisa has been using the Youth Glow Balancing Serum I am waving goodbye to problem and stressed looking skin with my Mambino Organics Youth Glow Balancing Serum ($26). This serum features an ingredient about which I wasn’t very knowledgeable, but I sure am glad I’ve become educated about Optunia ficus-indica stem extract (AKA prickly pear). It is one heck of an amazing skin care ingredient. Prickly pear looks like it would definitely hurt if you tried to apply it, but the extract has none of the pickers and all of the nutrients. Prickly pear is a type of cactus with a stem full of polyphenols, an antioxidant compound. Polyphenols are fantastic anti-agers that take sensitive, stressed out skin and make it healthy, pronto. Prickly pear extract by itself has no fragrance, although the Youth Glow Balancing Serum has a distinct scent of oranges. Skin loves prickly pear because it has lots of antioxidants, plus polyunsaturated fatty acids and amino acids that refresh and plump skin with incredible hydration. At the same time, the prickly pear extract attacks environmental damage that stresses out skin, and leaves it super soft and plump. Prickly pear is also excellent for every type of skin. It has lots of vitamin E and vitamin K, which help prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming as well as plumping up those that you already have. The Youth Glow Balancing Serum is perfect for normal, oily (including acne-prone), combination, and sensitive skin. This unisex serum does lots of great things for skin: Brightens Dull Looking SkinEvens Out Uneven SkinRe-hydrates Dehydrated SkinGreat for Rosacea & Reactive SkinPrevents and Minimizes Fine Lines & Wrinkles The packaging is on point with an opaque glass jar and airless pump. The Youth Glow Balancing Serum is a 100% hand-blended organic complex serum that is an anti-bacterial, so it gets rid of any blemishes and helps unclog pores. In addition to the incredible prickly pear extract, the serum’s elegant formula also contains hazelnut (a great emollient) and evening primrose oil (a fantastic skin soothing emollient). All that Omega 3, 6, and 9 makes for extremely calm and happy skin. The Youth Glow Balancing Serum can be used anywhere on the body, including of course the face. Where I really love it, though, is on my neck and decolletage. The citrus scent is a little too forward to be completely comfortable on my face, although the scent does dissipate into a very faint linger. On my neck and chest I don’t notice any scent at all, and it has done wonders for my wrinkles and itchy-prone skin. It’s just winner after winner from the Mambino Organics line!
