Witch hazel

Witch hazel is a shrub and is widely known for its healing properties for the skin! I want to tell you, I'm fair skinned. SHOCK right? I'm sure you guys could tell that from my pictures that I was. In case you haven't read my other blogs, I insist you do so because I assure you I'm pretty pale. I've always been this way, and it's mostly due to the fact that I'm Irish and French, but I'm sure my lack of sun has something to do with it as well! ;)

I want to tell you my story and experience with Witch hazel. This is a pretty recent story, actually; yesterday to be exact. We went to the zoo for Father's Day and for something to do. Honestly, we rarely get to go out and do things, so it was a nice change of pace! I have to be careful when I go out into the sun. My medication will give me quite the reaction. I'll blame the medication for my fair skin as well. Seems fair right? :P

Okay back to my story! Texas is HOT! Very HOT! The zoo is mostly shaded because of this, I assume, but not completely. I dressed up nice with a cute little halter top, hair up Lucy style, my cat eye sunglasses, skinny jeans, and animal print flats. Well with that said, I had a little skin that was exposed. I'm sure you know where I'm getting at with this. I got a little burned. I completely forgot to wear sunscreen! Everyone noticed when we got home that I had gotten a little too much sun, but I remembered that I had bought some Witch hazel from the store the day before.

The Witch hazel I purchased isn't some fancy brand, it's just your every day off brand version of the slightly more expensive stuff. Witch hazel really isn't that expensive, even for the name brand stuff but I'm always trying to save a little extra money.

Well, since I remembered that I purchased some I remembered hearing that it was good for sunburns! I originally purchased it to use with my Baiden Mitten because Witch hazel works by helping to heal your skin, so it does make sense that it would work for sun burns. This morning I showed my hubby my burns and he was surprised that there was a slight pink tint on probably about a fourth of my burn; the rest was slightly tanned! Everyone was convinced it would get more pink and start to hurt, but neither happened. I was really happy with that!

So, now you know a little more about Witch hazel and how it has worked for me for my sunburn. I actually used it with my Baiden Mitten today and I'm seeing some good results. The redness in my skin seems to be going away much faster than it normally does, and my skin tone seems to be evening out on my face as well.

I'll update more on my process with it, also I'll be discussing coconut oil as well! <3

Exercise and a Shower!

My bathtub isn't readily available to me anytime I want to use it so I really wanted to figure something out to use my Baiden Mitten in the shower! Now the admins at the Facebook Fanpage Baiden Mitten - Expect Miracles have told me it can be used in the shower, but I just felt that I wouldn't get the deep enough exfoliation that I usually get in a bath!

Well, my husband often helps his grandparents out with chores around their house that they can't do themselves. He had to mow their lawn for them today, and if anyone knows Texas, they know it's not a cool state in the means of temperature! So, he came in sweating from head to toe! I mean just soak and wet! That's when it hit me! One suggestion I have read is that using the Baiden Mitten after a workout could be beneficial because of all the sweating you do.

One reason that the Baiden Mitten works so well is because you sweat to kind of "soak" your dead skin cells, which then softens them enough for the mitten to roll them off of your skin. See, soaking in hot water, enough to make you sweat, will definitely get your dead skin cells really soft from both angles if you think about it.

I wanted to mimic this in some sort of way, so, before I took a shower tonight I did a workout! Yes I was sweating. Maybe not as much as when I go in the bathtub, but I was sweating a good deal! I'm sure if I worked out more it would have helped out even more, but I hopped into the shower after with as hot water as I could stand it. After about 10-15 minutes I started using my mitten and it worked just as well as when I was doing it in the bathtub!

So, it's safe to say that even a shower can work wonders with the Baiden Mitten. I'll probably do it this way from now on for a few reasons. One, because it's more convenient for me and my family, and two, because it encourages me to work out more.

Gotta get that beach bod some how! ;)

Just an update

So, no worries, I'm still using the Baiden Mitten! I'm probably going to do a post once or twice a week but they probably won't be pictures of my progress. I'm going to start doing that once a month now! I think it would get boring seeing the same pictures of my body parts every time! LOL!

Anyways, everything else is going great though! I even have a theory about my KP and it "disappearing." Well, I think when I use the mitten it does seem to irritate the KP. The bumps aren't there but the dots come in full force. They start diminishing though right away. I can definitely tell the difference. I think exfoliating really is helping my skin regenerate faster than it normally would! After the second day, it seems like there's almost nothing there at all! I'm going to try it a few more times before I come to this conclusion, but I think it's well worth it! If it does seem true then I may extend actually exfoliating my legs to once every other week.

I also wanted to mention though how amazed I am right now at how many entries this giveaway has received! As of this moment there is almost 2900 entries! Of course that doesn't mean that amount of people entered but that's still an impressive number for one week into it! Especially for someone like me who no one really knew! I owe a lot of it to Sorelle though from Pin Up Passion. She's really helped me out!

On that note, I would like to just clarify some things on the contest, though. There are two mandatory tasks: Liking the Baiden Mitten- Expect Miracles Fanpage on Facebook AND commenting on any of the posts in this blog. If I draw your name and find that you haven't done them both, I'm sorry but I'll have to disqualify you from the contest. It just wouldn't be fair to all the other people that put the time in to do it.

Let's go to a brighter side of the road though, shall we? Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday. She's going to be 7 years old! I'm thinking of being pretty generous and letting go of one of those Baiden Mittens earlier than anticipated! I figure to celebrate not only my lovely daughter, I might celebrate all the entries that we've gotten so far! Well, what do you guys think?!

Also, as always. Have a question? Post it! If I don't know the answer then I'll look for it for you! No biggie! :)

Okay now on to my month long before and afters!

Okay, as you can see I'm using the pictures from before I used my Baiden Mitten the very first time. What do you think? Honestly I see a great deal of difference here. My skin is becoming more evenly toned and the dark circles under my eyes are starting to go away.

Here are more close ups of the side of my face. Again, my skin tone looks so much more evenly toned. I love it! I still have those red cheeks of course! They just don't seem to be as bad! Hopefully this will continue.

Oh the lips.. Yes lips! There's something about lips that says so much. I can tell you before my Baiden Mitten my lips were very chapped, can you tell? That barely happens anymore. They're so much more full of life. I don't even need to use chapstick anymore.

It's hard to tell the difference here, but there is one. Again my skin is becoming more evenly toned and super soft! Those little bumps are also becoming less noticeable. I never really had too many on my arms though like I do my legs.

Oh look at my beautiful mommy marks! Can you tell that they're really starting to lessen? They're not as deep as they use to be. My belly again, super soft! I'm also thrilled again that the marks are becoming red. That gives me hope that they could lessen even more and become unnoticeable.

Awww, and the legs, with the Kp (Keratosis Pilaris). This product has helped me so much with my KP. I'm so thankful for it too. I still have a ways to go before it actually stops coming back, but after last week, I'm very hopeful. The fact that after my first shower after using it last week made them almost completely disappear is phenomenal! Also, you can see from the top picture that the pumps were actually pumps, they're no longer like that. They're just spots now on my skin. No bumps, just evenly soft skin!

So at the end of the month, do I have the most beautiful skin I have ever had?! YES! Would I continue to purchase this product? Absolutely! Will I continue to show you the results and share wonderful information along the way? You bet! I plan on giving tons of information about exfoliating and natural ways to hydrate your skin. So this isn't the end of the road!

Are you still interested in learning more about this wonderful mitten? Or maybe you don't want to wait 3 weeks to be a potential winner? Click the links below and get started! <3

A day later...

So, I realize that I'm not being completely fair. When you see my skin about 6-8 hours after I have used the Baiden Mitten my skin is still in a healing process! Things have not quite calmed down yet, and you can't expect it to after you've done such a deep exfoliation of your skin, right? Well, I'm going to show you exactly why I decided to do this post, first though lets look at a picture of my leg with that lovely Keratosis Pilaris, or chicken skin.

Above you can see a before and after shot. That is from Tuesday. The one on top is before my use of the Baiden Mitten and the one on the bottom is from about 6-8 hours after. The one on the right is before I got into the shower. I noticed that my KP didn't look as "angry" as it usually does!
(And yes, I wear black socks! :D )

I took a close up so everyone could see, that yes, my KP is starting to be less prominent on my skin. It is starting to even out, and I'm loving it! I'm finally starting to get the beautiful skin I've always wanted! It's taking a while, but nothing else has worked nearly as well as this little mitten!

I thought, well, that other picture is in shade so I took one with some shade on my leg! It still doesn't look nearly as bad as it did before. I was pretty happy about that too. For some reason the shade makes them pop a little more but still looks better to me! I'll let you judge for yourself. Wait until you see the next pictures though!

Want to know something amazing about the two photos above? I had just gotten out of the shower, and I even SHAVED! My legs are always irritated and the bumps get worse after I actually use a razor. They seem to even look better, and shaving was so much easier than it usually is when I didn't exfoliate with my Baiden Mitten.

I can't tell you how excited this makes me. I almost want to just cry at the results I have gotten so far with my Baiden Mitten. My skin has never been so soft, and I've never got my KP to even out nearly as much as I have before this. I thought I was stuck with these ugly red bumps for the rest of my life, but I'm seeing I'm wrong. I have probably checked my legs about ten times since I've gotten out of the shower to see if my eyes weren't deceiving me. They're not. They're practically gone now. Looking at this, I might not even have to use my Baiden Mitten twice a week. I really wish I would have ordered this sooner! I don't even think I need to buy lotion anymore my skin is so soft.

Here again are the links for information or if you want to order your own. I'm telling you, you won't regret ordering it. There is a 60 day money back guarantee on this product, but it won't even take you a month to become a believer and have the best skin you've ever had! And as always, if you have any questions, let me know! I'll be happy to answer them. :)

Before and After: Week Two!

Okay, so it's been one week since I've used the Baiden Mitten for the first time! Since then I have learned more about this mitten and what it does. First off, I'm pretty sure it made the back part of my neck break out. Don't let that discourage you though, honestly, with all the sweating you do you really have to make sure you rinse off completely, and I may not have done that. Not only that but usually I rinse with cold water after a shower of such to close my pores to help prevent this and I didn't do that the first time. That's the only bad news I have to offer and it's already gone as well. Ready for the good news? Since I've used my Baiden Mitten, I've noticed my skin absorbs so much more now! I use Dove gentle exfoliating body wash with NutriumMosture. Honestly, before the Baiden Mitten, it's the only thing that has remotely worked on hydrating my skin. So, every time I jump into the shower now, my skin just takes everything in like a vacuum! It stays hydrated longer as well because of this! I'm so impressed with that!

Now to this weeks results! First I want to note that I probably should have taken the rolled skin pictures again. Not only did I produce dead skin but MORE of it than last time. You read that right, MORE. I couldn't believe it! I figure that after a while the dead skin would decrease, but it didn't. My skin again is ten times softer than before I used it, and I can't stop touching my face, arms, and my belly (even with the mommy marks!) My legs are going to need the most help because of the KP, because that's where I have it the worst. My arms are almost completely free of any signs of KP so that has to be a good sign as well. After all I'm only two weeks into this and still have two more to go for the first month. Remember the claim? One month and I should have the skin I've always wanted! Even if it doesn't get rid of my Kp after four uses, I'm not going to give up that it could work for it. I'm going to start using it twice a week after the first month: Mondays and Thursdays. I figure since I use exfoliation all the time on my skin anyways, I can start doing two times a week after a month.

So, honestly I'm not seeing too much of a difference in general about my face. You would be able to feel the difference though because it is A LOT smoother than it was before. Other than that, I feel I have more color to my face, which is a good thing.

Again, not too much of a difference. I feel my face looks smoother than the before and you can see where the pimple scar I had below my lip has lightened up. Never a bad thing.

This is the biggest improvement this time, my lips! They have a better color, don't look nearly as chapped, if even at all, they also seem to have plumped up. Added bonus there!

So, just like with my face the major difference is the way my skin feels. A lot smoother again, and I'm really happy about that. The KP seems to be almost gone on my arms, so I'm just worried about my legs now!

Now, the major thing I noticed about my tummy is the color of the stretch marks. They seem to be more red than before. If you're thinking this is a bad thing, it's not. When your stretch marks are still red that is the best time to use creams to reduce or get rid of them because they're fresh. When they turn white, they're like scar tissue and all those lotions and such won't help nearly as much. So, this is a good thing!

I'm sorry that the blog seems to have made this picture so tiny! The top part is the inside of my left leg and the bottom is the outside of my left leg. You can still see I have KP on the outside but not as much on the inside. I think with some patients I can get it under control!

And the angry red dot on my back side.. still looks just as angry! I think I'll have my doc take a look at it. lol

Okay, so what do you ladies and gents think? Two more weeks to go and I'll be going to two times a week. I think I'll be rid of KP doing that. When I go to two times a week I'll still only be doing a once a week blog of before and afters unless asked by popular demand! I would also like to note that my hubby is noticing the difference in my skin from before the Baiden Mitten to the after, that is awesome to think it's not all in my head! :)

(You can purchase a Baiden Mitten here. Everything is secure and even though they say they take 1-2 weeks it only took less than one for me to get mine! Any questions? Comment bellow!)
