My husband and I have been using a moisturizer launched by Your Best face (YBF) a few months ago. The interesting thing is that we both like the moisturizer and have completely different skin types. I for one, have combination skin and he has dry skin. I will go into it by first describing what the product looks like and what it claims to do and then let you guys in on our experience with the moisturizer.
Like other YBF products I have reviewed, this one comes in a pump form in an airtight container. You will have to pump the product a few times before it finally dispenses. The moisturizer looks a bit brownish to gray in color and has a very mild scent to it. The scent is almost hard to make out, but resembles a type of scented oil…not sure which one. LOL! In my experience with YBF products, a small amount goes a long way and will spreads easily on the face. However, if you are one of those people that likes to add a massive amount of product and really work it into the skin, this product might not be right for you. Boost runs at $65 for 1oz.
My favorite part of the Product Description:
Antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals along with caffeine help tighten, tone, refresh and protect the face. Boost immediately soothes, reduces redness and balances skin. As it dries, the face becomes more toned and stays supple to the touch.
I love that YBF products have antioxidants and thanks to the air tight container it comes in, you know the antioxidants are being preserved nicely. Unlike, some face creams, whose antioxidants become ineffective once the container is opened. I will say that Boost does control my face oil and helps balance my combination skin.
The moisturizer is very very light, which I just love. I find that it keeps my makeup in place nicely, without causing it to slide off in this AZ heat. The moisturizer makes my skin feel soft and keeps it free from breakouts, just like my other favorite product from YBF “Restore” does. I also like that the bottle is very easy to carry and offers no room for product spillage. Just a toss in my purse and it fits nicely. Comes in handy when I like to remove my makeup and just go bare faced with only moisturizer.
THE Husband
My husband has very dry skin and despises using moisturizers. Mainly, because moisturizers are usually useless for his skin. His face will usually peel continuously, since his facial skin is lacking maximum hydration. The first time he tried Boost, he immediately felt the difference. The dry skin in his face started to look hydrated and he could feel his skin relax and not feel as tight and dried out. Boost has really improved his skin! He only wears it once a day and his skin feels and looks nice and soft. He tends to be one of those people who doesn’t like the whole keeping up with your face deal and this really makes it easy for him. So, if you are a low maintenance kind of guy who has better or manly things to do and just needs a nice easy fix…try boost!
YBF products are best known for their anti-aging qualities, but the one thing I have noticed the most is the radiance and complexion improvements! I try many products to review for you guys…even though I know I have been slacking with my crazy schedule. The trying of different products takes a toll on my facial skin in many ways, especially when I try products that do not work and cause me to break out. That’s why I love that YBF products can be layered with other products. I can honestly say, that YBF’s Boost and Restore are just amazing and are my favorite products from the line. Restore has brought my face back from serious damage on several occasions. Believe me when I tell you this. I realize everyone’s skin is different and I am not sugar coating anything. My experience with Restore and Boost have been amazing! I was real excited when I found out Restore was improved and now comes in a larger size!
One thing I do want to mention is that YBF does not use sunscreen in its products. The company uses: Phenyl Butyl Nitrone (Spin Trap) - An intelligent and powerful antioxidant that instead of destroying rogue oxygen free radicals, it traps them and transforms them into useful oxygen. It then escorts them back into the respiratory cycle, where it’s used in tissue respiration. (From Skincare Dictionary)
So, use sunscreen if you feel it necessary to do so! I usually do. I do have a limited amount of sample sizes available, if anyone wants to give YBF a try. Email me at: Bringingoutthebeauty@gmail.com and I will send out one sample. US addresses only, one per person and first come first serve. I currently have 3 Boost, 3 Restore, 2 Control & 2 Defend and again, it’s a very limited quantity!
