#first botany

I am big on using face masks and most of the time I will either use a sheet mask or a clay mask. This product is the first one that I used that was a mud mask so I wasn’t sure if I would like this as much as the usual masks that I  had been using. When I first opened the container it wasn’t what I expected to see . I had imagined the product would be a thicker product that actually looked like what I’m used to mud looking like . Instead this product looked like a greyish gel but who am I to say anything because I had never used this product and I wasn’t familiar with mud masks. So I went ahead and dove right in to the product, it went on pretty thin, I wasn’t sure if this was how it was supposed to be  so I kept adding a more a little bit at a time until it was no longer kind of transparent but had a more opaque grey color to it . I was trying to be careful not to add to much and have it drying forever on my face. The application of the product was pretty simple  and went by pretty fast. I didn’t time how long it took for the mask to fully dry but I’m guessing it was at least 20 minutes. I felt a light tightening of the face as the product dried but it was nothing that was too much. After the product was fully dried I washed it off in a circular motion as the directions stated and noticed my face was a but red but that subsided within 10 minutes. This was something I was familiar with as I use clay masks and my face would do the same thing. After my face was fully dry and the redness subsided my skin felt refreshed and really smooth and soft . I did not expect my face to feel that smooth as the mask did not really feel like it was exfoliating  but I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the results. Will definitely continue to use this from time to time to break up my usual routine. ** I received this product at a discount for testing and reviewing purposes, all thoughts expressed are honestly and solely me own**

I have never really been a person to use a scrub on my feet to help remove the dead skin and dry spots, so using this product was a bit out of the ordinary for me. I am aware that this product could also be used on the body but bought this with the sole intention on exfoliating and soften my feet. I tend to not wear shoes most of the time so the bottoms of my feet have become a bit dry and I have some thick callus spots. I usually use a foot file when necessary so the fact that this stuff was really working got me pretty excited. As you can see in the before and after pic the scrub was able to remove most of the dead skin and it left my foot feeling soft and smooth. I will say that not all of the spots were removed but I didn’t expect for everything to be removed in just one use. I did not want to over exfoliate so in the week that I have had this product I have only used it twice. The results is enough to keep me using the product. The scrub its self is no different in texture to most other scrubs that I have used. It exfoliates nicely without leaving my skin irritated or damaged. The smell of this product is a bit funky , another reason I choose to only use the product on my feet. The smell did not seem to linger too long but it is definitely something that I would not want on my body, I will just stick to more pleasant smelling scrubs for that purpose. The skin on my feet continued to look fresh and smooth but I know It will take more than a couple applications of this products to fully deal with the dry skin on my feet. I will continue to use this product on a weekly to biweekly term to monitor the progress. Even though the smell is a bit much in my opinion I would recommend this to others when it comes to foot care. I do not plan to ever use this for any other purpose. ** I received this product free for testing and reviewing purposes, all thought expressed are honestly and solely my own**

I am usually really skeptical about product that claim t slim and tone and do all these other things for you ,so naturally when I cam across this product I had those same feelings. When I first opened the container I was greeted with a creamsicle orange type of color but the fragrance was anything but that. The smell was that of strong menthol and kind of medicinal. This was kind of expected since the product sys it can be used as a sore muscle massaging cream. Usually anything that has to do with sore muscles will have this menthol smell, so I was not put off by this and did not find the smell offending at all. The cream itself was a cross between a gel and a lotion and it applied very easily and seemed to absorb quickly into the skin. I found this to be helpful because I use this during my workouts and before bed and I did not want to walk around with a wet feeling tummy. The products makes the skin feel hot and tingly almost like an icy burn, if I may say. It was not overwhelming or anything but you may want to test a little bit before going full in. The hot sensation lasted for at least 20 minutes before it was just an icy feeling. I actually enjoyed the feeling the cream gel makes. I have read in other cases that people actually started to sweat but that did not happen with me, I mostly just got the feeling and it only effected the application site. I did not measure how many inches I lost during the week I was testing the product and honestly I did not check for progress until today when I took my week later pic. As you can see in the picture I look less bloated and you can see a but more tone in the stomach area. Please note that I used this in conjunction with a workout routine so results may vary, I also tried to size the pictures up to be even to give you a better idea of my results. I do believe this product is working for me and I have not been experiencing sore muscles in any of the areas the cream gel had been applied. I will try to put up more progress pics as I continue to use this as a part of my workout routine. As of right now this is a product that I would recommend to others. ** I received this product discounted for testing and reviewing purpose, all thoughts and opinions expressed are solely my own**
