Best Uses of Human Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil


Human Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil
Price: P299 (100 ml) | P174.75 (50 ml)
Bought from: Human Nature

You've probably heard it from your moms and grannies that oils in general are compounds that are beneficial for the skin. So here I got myself a Human Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil that's one of the brand's bestseller. It was recommended by a colleague and so then I purchased the largest container available. At first, I was hesitant how I'd use it because I'm not really comfortable using oils given the fact that I have extremely oily skin and the weather we have here in the Philippines just makes things more incompatible. I also get adverse reactions whenever I try to incorporate oils in my routine. Name all the oils notable in skincare and I've probably tried it all but always ended up wasting them or putting them to other uses away from my face.

Still, that doesn't stop me from trying which is why you should let me share with you what I think of this Human Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil and how I use it.



CLAIMS

According to the brand, this product is 100% natural, is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free. It's also recommended to people who are targeting dull and dry skin because of its brightening and moisturizing properties. Also rich in nourishing Vitamins A, D and E, this holy grail has earned its place as a well-known and well-loved miracle worker. Aside from that, it's labeled as an oil that has whopping 25 miracles that works wonders from head to toe!

1. Overall body moisturizer

3. Helps lighten and soften underarms
4. Helps make eyebrows thicker
5. Helps prevent & lighten the appearance of stretch marks

11. Undereye moisturizer
12. Softens feet soles, knees & elbows
13. Removes stubborn makeup
14. Helps diminish fine lines around the eyes
15. Helps soften cuticles & dry skin
16. Makes skin glow and helps keep it youthful-looking
17. Helps improve skin condition after sunburn
18. Helps relax tired, puffy eyes

21. Nourishes & conditions eyelashes
22. Helps ease dry & itchy scalp
23. Smoothens dry, rough skin from shaving
24. Helps calm skin & ease rashes
25. Helps relieve symptoms of skin infections


PACKAGING

I really love the overall look of the product and I think anyone would agree that the design is very dainty. It also has all the information that you'll be looking for such as the claims, ingredient list, direction for use and expiry date.

It comes in a pump bottle so it is very easy to use though I don't think you can bring it and stock up on bags and luggage without leaking through the pump. You may opt to decanter a few amount on a completely enclosed bottle.




SO HOW I USE IT?

Most of the benefits mentioned above requires long-term use and still depends on the compatibility of your skin to the product. Nonetheless, you can count on this oil to moisturize and hydrate very dry skin anywhere in your body. It's inexpensive so you won't find it very wasteful if you slather a lot on your skin. I sometimes dilute it with other moisturizers when I feel like I need extra hydration for my soles and palms. I would also pump a very small amount on my palms, rub it in and apply to the hair for some shine and it works to provide moisture for a long time. I also mix several pumps on ready-to-use hair spa products for extra nourishment and my hair will look sleeker and softer after the treatment.

When I ran out of makeup remover, I opted for my Human Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil as a makeup remover. It won't remove waterproof makeup with ease but is perfect as a cleanser for light makeups while making your skin look plump and healthy. Do take note to wash your face right away with a facial wash to avoid nasty pimps especially if your skin in not very compatible with oils (like me!). Luckily, it did not clog my pores and I don't think it will because according to a test conducted, it  passed the comedogenic scale and doesn't contain pore-clogging properties. You may read the article here. I don't wear foundation nowadays when it's just work I'm going to, but I still use oil cleansers as a first step in removing dust, dirt and oil from my skin especially now that pollution and commute are tough and real.


I think one of the best practices I do with this product is applying it as a calming moisturizer after waxing my armpit. Also, I would at least, twice a week, would pump a generous amount on a cotton ball and cleanse my armpits to remove all traces of dirt and sweat, deodorants and dead skin cells accumulated overtime. You know it's working because you will see traces of dirt on the cotton balls once you swipe it with a little pressure. It lessens odor, at the same time, removes all kinds of impurities that makes skin look dark and dull. Doing this will give you a clearer, softer and smoother underarms!

This product is not named as a beauty oil for nothing. It's a product that you think you don't need but comes very useful when you have it. If you love essential oils so much, it would be best to also include carrier oils like this in your stash to dilute the product into to lessen the concentration and avoid any adverse skin reactions.

With this, I hope it's clear that, yes, I highly recommend this product from Human Nature and will definitely repurchase! Oops, I'm into my third bottle already actually!

Simple 3-Step Lip Care Routine With Human Nature Lip Care Products


Hello, everyone! Just want to share with you, girls, my very simple lip care routine with three products I trust from Human Nature. These are the items I purchased months ago but still using up until now. My lips is far from being perfect, they are the most sensitive parts of my body, they do chap and bleed from time to time but I make sure I do these three steps whenever I have to.

FIRST, EXFOLIATE.

I know it's very likely to pick on hanging skin when our lips are chapped and dry so the least we can do is have it the healthy way. I really like Human Nature Lip Scrub in Peppermint because of its awesome moisturizing and smoothening properties. The minty sensation helps soothe broken skin and the scrubs are abrasive enough to slough away all the dead skin cells on my lips without having to cause further damage.

Alternative: Just mix a small amount of raw honey and brown sugar into paste and apply on the lips very gently. Do not overdo as it might irritate your skin rather than do something fulfilling.

SECOND, MOISTURIZE.

I never, ever skip lip balms because my lips are so dry, you can't imagine how much. The color have became uneven because of too much chapping and bleeding caused by lip products itself. This made me skeptical in trying just almost anything on my lips. And because I don't want to compromise how I look during the day, I like using tinted lip balms because it's basically moisture and color in one. If you are looking for one, try this Human Nature Tinted Lip Balm in Flame Tree. They also have flavored lip balms that aren't tinted like the peppermint variant that goes well with the scrub and is also 100% natural.

Alternative: Petroleum jellies are my favorites too!

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, TREAT.

Sometimes, your lips need treatment too just like our facial skin. While we use overnight sleeping mask, why not moisturize your lips while you sleep too? Lip care needs very low maintenance. All you need to have is a reliable product like Human Nature Sunflower Lip Miracle. It soften the skin overnight and helps improve the overall texture of the skin. It does wonders at a very low price.

Alternative: Lip sleeping masks and packs or any deep moisturizing lip balms like Burt Bee's.

And there you have it! All you need is a 3-step routine to maintain a good, less-textured canvas where you put on lipstick so smoothly. Let me know what you do to keep your lips as healthy as possible! Happy blogging!

Human Nature Peppermint 100% Natural Lip Balm Review


Human Nature Peppermint 100% Natural Lip Balm
Bought for: P90/ 4 grams
From: Human Nature

Claims
Kiss dry lips goodbye. Keep lips soft and supple with a moisture-rich blend of cocoa butter, beeswax and sunflower oil in mouth-watering natural flavors. Sweet lip base Swipe it on before your favorite lipstick to keep your lips nourished and protected from chapping. Available in 5 yummy flavors: Cherry, Peppermint, Wild Berry, Grape and Cola.

I am still obsessed with the whole lip tint trend but there are times when I want my lips to just rest and get all the hydration it needs. While I enjoy exfoliating using the Human Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub and having a good night's rest with Sunflower Lip Miracle in Mint as my overnight lip mask, it's still nice to have something which I can layer underneath my tint or lipstick for extra moisture and just something to bring wherever I go fuss-free.


There are actually 2 kinds of lip balms Human Nature has: those which are flavored and those that are tinted. I actually have tried one of the tinted variants in the shade Flame Tree which has been a long time go-to lip balm for me. It's hydration and color in one, as simple as that. Flavored lip balms aren't something that raises so much excitement, we hardly ever had shortage of it, but since I love lip balms whatever they are, I gave this one from Human Nature a try. After all, it's Human Nature, babe. I mean who does not want cruelty-free, natural products that just works? I couldn't ask for more as I look on the ingredient list!

Nothing fancy about its packaging--just typical bullet-type packaging yet neat and informative. I just had a problem with the cap as its too loose that it tends to separate, leaving the product itself open for contamination. I know I just had a poorly packaged one and I couldn't speak for all but Human Nature should be more cautious with that. They shouldn't have released something that might cause some fault in terms of sanitation. You might think I'm quite picky but you'll get what I mean especially when you don't receive the product sealed and the cap's loose and who knows someone opened it before you!


This lip balm is moisturizing providing the fact that it's loaded with essential oils and other natural ingredients. It smells really lovely, you know, the typical scent you get when you sniff something with mint on it. However, one thing I noticed is that the cooling sensation gradually lessens as you go over with the product. Also, the moisturizing factor isn't something I can rave about. Although it provides instant hydration, calms skin and can withstand light drinking, you might need to retouch some more after a few hours. To be fair though, I haven't encountered any lip balm that lasts all day. I don't think anyone would mind this though as lip balms are so convenient to use, you can have it anywhere as it fits pouches or pockets perfectly and oh c'mon this certainly wouldn't break the bank!


This product does not totally get rid of my super sensitive, chapped and dry lips but I'm glad I have it with me during times my lips need some quick moisture and touch of softness. It glides easily on the lips and does not feel heavy. It does not give that super glossy look which I love and it does not interfere with the pigmentation and color payoff of your lipstick. Also, it's quite a trend to have SPF-infused lip balm and even though I don't have the right to demand, I would request this to Human Nature if ever I get the chance.

How do you find Human Nature Peppermint 100% Natural Lip Balm? Sounds interesting? Have you tried it? Share your comments down below! Today's April Fools but I'll never lie!

Human Heart Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub Review


Human Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub
Bought for: Sale at P140 | SRP: P175
Bought from: Human Heart Nature

I have never been fond of using lip scrubs every now and then even though I was born with super dry and chapped lips. I even could count on my fingers those particular days when it felt so firm, soft and smooth without loose skin. Back in the days, I used to make my own lip scrub made with coconut and olive oils, honey and sugar but I got tired of it and decided not to apply any at all. I was given with lip scrubs before which did not make much difference as well and so I was triggered to stop hoping for something impossible.

Just a few months ago, I was spouting how my lips felt so sore (it even bleed) due to dryness and I forgot to bring my pouch a.k.a survival kit with Vaseline on it. I asked for my office mates for something I could put on, (sorry for being so unhygienic but I felt desperate), and Celine told me that I can use her Human Heart Nature Lip Scrub. I did try it and just wow. It feels so soothing and I liked it. I know that one day I'll have to get mine as well and so when it went on sale, I go grabbed one together with their Sunflower Lip Miracle in Mint and Tinted Lip Balm.

99.85% Natural | 12g
Claims

Kissably smooth lips. A genuinely natural exfoliant that gently buffs away dry, dull skin to reveal softer, smoother lips. Sugar crystals lift away skin’s rough top layer while a rich medley of miracle moisturizer sunflower oil, jojoba oil and beeswax softens skin and locks moisture onto your lips. A hint of cool peppermint tops off the experience. Sustainably sourced: with fair trade Philippine raw sugar from Negros. No baddies: Free from parabens and mineral oil. Biodegradable: free from polluting plastic microbeads.

Ingredients, Description, How To Use

Packaging

The product is housed in a small plastic tub with a screw cap that shuts tightly so no product leaks out. Also, the box displays all necessary information such as the ingredient list, description and directions for use for conscious consumers like me. One small jar contains 12g of products inside which is way more than sufficient for lots of uses considering that you only need a very meager amount for every application. Very economical, indeed!



Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application


The product has a sticky/greasy texture which is but fine with me 'cause it leaves me the idea that my lips would feel so supple and well-moisturized after my swiping session which is what my lips call for all the time. The product comprises of sugar and lots of moisturizing extracts such as jojoba, sunflower oils and beeswax as well as peppermint extract to impart a nice, cooling effect, perfect to soothe dry lips in an instant. This lip scrub also isn't so abrasive but mild enough to remove loose skin without pain nor irritation. It is so easy to use and you just have to wipe it off with a clean tissue paper and you're good to go.


Performance

We all know that proper exfoliation is needed to get rid of dead skin cells and loose skin. I am so glad that I have Human Heart Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub to restore soft and smooth skin and with continuous use, I am hoping that I'd get to lose the hyper pigmentation on my lips. I have tried only a few lip scrubs in my life and most of them are made of homegrown ingredients and this is my favorite by far. It is so affordable but feels so rich and jampacked with moisturizing ingredients that I am always looking forward to scrubbing my lips every other day. This scrub does not fail to do its job in keeping lips looking plump and soft, lessen the appearance of dryness on the lips and restore healthy-looking kissers. With this, I am not afraid to wear matte lipsticks anymore.


Overall, for its price, this is a really good local product. I can use it wherever and whenever I want without hassle. Sometimes, when I don't have any tissue paper, I just apply a small amount and leave it as is since the sugar melts off easily and all that's left is a fine sheen on the lips. See, no mess! No need to worry because the product is edible and is safe to use whenever you need a surge of moisture!

Note: Don't lick it as saliva could even cause drier lips!

Human Nature Sunflower Lip Miracle in Mint Review


Human Nature Sunflower Lip Miracle in Mint
Bought for: Sale at P160 | SRP: P199.75
Bought from: an online shop

I am no stranger to Human Nature as a brand that carries a lot of cult-favorite skin care items which caters to the whole family's needs. Not too long ago, they released a few products including this Sunflower Lip Miracle which comes in two variants as of today: Mint and Peach. I got myself the Mint one just because I really like products with cooling scents and I think it would best suit dry and chapped lips.

I really have sensitive lips. I can't withstand lipsticks, much less tints. I find them very discomforting on my lips to the point that it makes my puckers bleed. For years, I have been dependent to petroleum jellies just because they are the only products that soothe and heal my lips. A lot of people are asking me (even mom), why I don't wear lipsticks even though I have some and I would often say "I do, sometimes", "I'd love to" but always ends up with a "but". I also don't collect them no matter how much I looked forward to just because I wouldn't use them any way. And while I am taking care of my skin, I think it's just as proper to take good care of my lips--the reason why I bought some lip care products recently including the Human Nature Tinted Lip Balm and Scrub which I will be sharing with you on my next blogs.


Packaging

The product is housed in a tiny, squeezable tube with a very simple yet attractive designs that perfectly fits my palm and pocket. The tiny hole and curvature on it makes it easier to apply the product on the lips without having the need to touch the product. It also contains 10g of products inside. Not bad 'cause a little goes a long, long way already. I like bringing it everywhere as I can easily tuck it inside my jean's back pockets lol!

Texture & Consistency

The product comes in transparent white shade and has the consistency of a sunflower oil--lightweight and non-greasy. Unlike other lip balms or glosses, this one has a thinner texture and does not feel uncomfortable on the lips. Depends on amount, you won't even notice that you have it on, really!


Scent

Smells like menthol. Just like that. It very much reminds me of dynamite which I find really refreshing and delicious. Sometimes I am tempted to lick my lips haha!




Performance

I have been using this product for weeks now and I never fail to use it several times a day. This is what I use before going to bed as a lip treatment and as a lip balm whenever I'm off to work. Since I am in an air-conditioned room most of the time, my lips are more prone to drying so retouch is necessary. With overtime use (together with my Human Nature Peppermint Lip Scrub), I noticed that my lips has significantly turned lighter and dark spots and hyper pigmentation which are probably caused by frequent bleeding and wounds, are reduced.

The mint ingredient on this product is enough to soothe pain on the lips and oils on the product gives it some healthy sheen. It also feels nice to apply this after scrubbing away dead skin cells. One thing I noticed about this product though is that the moisture do not last very long, thus, reapplication every now and then is necessary. Also, I still need to use it along with my Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to heal my wounds faster.


Overall Thoughts

I appreciate that this product has all the goodness of Sunflower and Castor Oil, Beeswax and Vitamin E which are proven effective in doing all sorts of moisturizing and hydrating benefits for a healthy skin, still, I would say that Vaseline Petroleum Jelly works better for me. Don't get me wrong! I love Human Nature Sunflower Lip Miracle because it was able to make a significant change in terms of the appearance of my lips (hello softer and pinker lips!) but it still did not match the moisturizing factor of Petroleum Jellies. If you have less dry lips than mine, I bet you would find this product perfect, not to mention that it's quite affordable and is widely available!
