**Press Release** (Part 2): Teadora Body Polish Review

Wanted to sneak this post in today, so you can take advantage of the Black Friday sales going on for it tomorrow!!

A few weeks ago I shared a post with you about a product by the brand Teadora.  I received that product about a week after that post and decided to use it for 10 days straight before writing up a review.  Before I get into that, though, let me tell you a bit about the company.

Teadora products are made from all-natural raw organic ingredients from the Amazon, and they are harvested in a sustainable way.  Environmentally friendly = always an amazing thing!  I love respect for the Earth!  In the company's words, "By purchasing our products, you are supporting sustainable agriculture in Brazil to help stop rainforest deforestation.  You are also funding a philanthropy exchange between the U.S. and Brazil that promotes youth education, leadership development, and health."  I gotta say, I love companies that strive to do something good with the revenue from their product.

So now that we've established what this company is all about, let's talk about the product I reviewed!  I received the All-Natural Body Polish in the Rainforest at Dusk scent.

Product: Here

 I used the body polish every night before I went to bed in place of cuticle oil.  Here is my what my hand looked like before I started using the body polish:

You can see that my hands and cuticles are quite out of shape (I got lazy the weeks prior and didn't bother using cuticle oil and moisturizing lotion at night).  Here's a picture of what my skin looked like after using the product for 5 days:

There is a noticeable improvement in the cuticles especially!  And here is what my skin looks like 10 days after using this product:

Still an improvement, though not as much of a difference between day 5 and day 10.

The Ups:  This body polish felt like a mud mask scrub when I used it - and I loved it!  It felt sooooooo good, especially if I had just spent the day swatching an washing my hands constantly.  I also really loved the musky smell.  It reminded me of a yoga studio I used to go to in Washington when we lived there - very earthy and soothing :)  I love how smooth my skin felt, too, right after washing it off.

The Downs:  While it did make an improvement in getting rid of most of my dry skin, especially around the cuticles, it did not take care of all of it.  However, I wouldn't really blame the product for that.  I have always had dry skin, even when I lotion frequently, I still get dry skin.  It's just the way it goes for me.  The fact that more than half my dry skin went away after using this product tells me it is a great product.  I cannot say for certain it would completely rid all dry skin for everyone, but I can say it would do a darn fine job getting rid of most of it, and making your hands a bit softer in the process :)

Overall:  I think this is an awesome product, not just for it's application, but because of the company that makes it.  I really love all-natural products, I try to use them whenever I can.  Being environmentally conscious is a great feature for any company, especially beauty companies.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a healthy scrub/body polish!

*Press Release* (Part 1) - Teadora Body Polish

***PRESS RELEASE***

Up until now, I have only ever posted about nail polish, but never really any other types of products, such as lotions, sugar scrubs, etc.  I was recently given the opportunity to review an exfoliation product (body, not face), and I took it, because I believe it is important to take care of your skin!  As a polish blogger, I'm always putting polish on, taking it off, messing with my cuticles, etc., and as a mother, my hands go through even more abuse.  So, it's very important that I take care of my hands and keep them smooth, healthy, and exfoliated.

The product I will be reviewing once it arrives is the Rainforest at Dusk body polish by the brand Teadora Beauty.  Here's the excerpt sent to me about the product:

"Winter and dry, dull skin go together like peanut butter and jelly, right? Think again! With a little exfoliation and the skin-loving ingredients found in Teadora’s Nourishing Body Polish, you can have summer time’s hydrated, gorgeously glowing skin all year round! Teadora’s Nourishing Body Polish is loaded with powerful, sustainably harvested natural and organic ingredients from the Amazon rainforest. The formula includes Teadora’s Icons of the Rainforest (Buriti, Pitanga, Cupuaçu, Andiroba and Açaí) and Rainforest Hydration Elixir (Babassu, Brazil Nut, Rose Hip Seed and Passion Fruit oils), plus a potent combo of Açaí Seeds for deep exfoliation and Amazonian Clay to help reduce blemishes for brighter, healthier, smoother skin.

Why should you exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week?
·Removing layer(s) of dead skin gets the blood flowing and helps revive skin’s radiance and glow
·When skin gets extra dry, it can start to flake - exfoliating keeps flakes and rough patches in check
·Allows lotions to penetrate and moisturize more effectively
·Unclogs pores of oil and dirt which means less breakouts
·When you remove surface dry skin, skin looks smoother, which means you look younger!

Teadora’s Nourishing Body Polish is available in two 100% natural fragrances, RAINFOREST AT DUSK and RAINFOREST AT DAWN.

RAINFOREST AT DAWN // Wake up in the rainforest. A bright and sparkling citrusy burst of bergamot and lemon swirls with woods, fresh florals, basil, and eucalyptus to awaken your senses and ready you for the day ahead. Hear the calls of colorful birds. Smell the lush, exotic flowers and juicy black currants. Feel the dark, fertile soil under your toes.

RAINFOREST AT DUSK // Relax in the rainforest. Smooth, floral notes of Rose Absolute and Geranium blend with hints of orange and coconut to soothe and revitalize your senses after a long day. Feel the cooling air against your skin. Hear the patter of rain on the leaves overhead. Smell the luscious Ylang, night blooming flowers and the rich warmth of cedarwood. Listen to the calls of night monkeys."

I'm pretty excited to receive this product to review!!  Having only ever used homemade sugar scrubs, it will be interesting to see the difference between that and something a bit more professional.  I'll have a second post for you soon after I've received and tried this body polish out :).  Until then, I'll see you tomorrow with a post featuring the new V for Vendetta collection by Gothic Gala Lacquers!!
