Revisiting Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

This winter has really proven to be incredibly drying for my hair and skin, and I have had to continually adjust my skincare and haircare picks to find, and maintain, an equilibrium. The need for what feels like excessive added moisture is a little odd for my normal/combination skin, but as the cold weather persists I have found numerous new and tried and true products that are definitely working wonders on my seasonally dry skin.

With that in mind, I thought that I would revisit Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer–a moisturizer that I initially thought that I would like, but that I ended up loving. I thought that this lightweight moisturizer would not provide me with the level of moisture and hydration that I seek this time of the year, but instead it has repeatedly proven to be perfect for my skin during the winter months. Not only does it provide my skin with ample moisture and hydration, but in fact this potent antioxidant-rich, anti-aging cream does a remarkable job nourishing my skin and leaving it soft, supple, dewy and luminous. 

One of the great strengths of this cream is that the Malic Acid gently evens skin tone while the Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid smooth and plump the skin, and noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines. The formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing and very concentrated– therefore a very small amount is all that is needed. It has a light and clean natural aroma that delights the senses, but it fades away soon after it is absorbed.

Directions: After cleansing  the face, massage this moisturizer into face, neck and décolleté. Use morning and night.
