When you open your fridge and see your blueberries going bad - not moldy, just softer than you would prefer to eat - try out this mask using organic Argan Oil (almost good enough to eat!).
You can use up those squishy blueberries without forcing yourself to eat less-than-fresh fruit. Using what you already have in your kitchen, you can freshen your fridge and your face. In our last post, we experimented with our hardcore Turmeric Rosehip Oil Face Mask. It isn't a mask you would use all the time so we wanted to try out something light that you would use more regularly. This Everyday Blueberry Argan Oil Mask soothes, renews, and softens your skin while giving it a beautiful glow.
Argan Awesomeness
Organic Argan Oil contains great antioxidants that soothe and moisturize your skin. It’s also non-comedogenic so if your skin breaks out easily, Argan Oil won’t block your pores or create blackheads. Since Argan Oil has vitamin E, it protects against sun damage - awesome for both the summer and the winter.Blueberry Benefits
Blueberries are super delicious for eating and they contain antioxidants that fight free radicals and aging. Because blueberries are full of Vitamin A, they’re perfect for fighting sun damage and let’s be real, who doesn’t have at least some sun damage on their skin?Honey Health
Honey is great at cleaning pores and blackheads. Because honey has antibacterial properties, it kills any bad bacteria that makes your skin break out. It has soothing and moisturizing properties, making your skin look glowy.
When we tried this mask, it was a great light cleanser. It’s a mask you can wear in the morning or at night and go to work or go out for drinks afterward because your skin is that healthy and pretty. : )

Lips, like all skin, need exfoliating every once-in-a-while to get rid of dead skin cells and make them soft and youthful. Wonderful and kissable lips require a small amount of time and energy and it is so worth it. Clean off the dry, dead skin cells and moisturize your lips at the same time by using this lip scrub:
Organic Argan Oil Raw & Sweet Lip Scrub
1 Teaspoon Leven Rose Argan Oil
1 Teaspoon Raw Honey
1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons Raw Sugar
Dash of Lemon Juice (Fresh is best! Otherwise use pressed natural juice.)
Stir these ingredients together and voila! You have your own lip care super-scrub!
Rub a small amount of scrub onto your lips gently and don’t be afraid if you happen to taste it; none of the ingredients are dangerous. You might even find yourself wanting to eat it! While Argan Oil isn't toxic, it is meant to be used only externally.
Rinse your lips with warm water and pat to dry. Use this lip scrub once or twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells and moisturize your lips.
For even softer lips, follow your lip scrub routine with a couple drops of argan oil rubbed onto your lips. Continue your normal beauty routine and enjoy how nice your lips feel.
Because both lemon juice and honey are potent ingredients, the scrub will be most effective when your batch is new. The scrub will keep for no more than 2 weeks, so small batches are the best.
We bottle the Leven Rose Argan Oil in a dark bottle to protect the oil from being damaged by UV rays. If you store your scrub in a clear glass jar, remember to keep it away from sunlight and heat to help your scrub stay good longer.
A word of caution - if you have an extreme nut allergy, do not make this recipe! Argan Oil is made from organic argan nuts, which are a tree nut. Reactions are very rare, but if you have any sensitivity, be sure to check with your doctor first. We don't want any unintentional lip plumping!

Princess Kate’s Beauty Secret
The Duchess of Cambridge uses Rosehip Oil on her skin and there are good reasons to use it! Rosehip Oil is a natural antioxidant making it an ideal anti-aging product without the chemical additives or unnatural fillers of so many common skin care serums.
Two years ago, we announced the release of our Organic Rosehip Seed Oil. When we told the press about it, we outlined health benefits, potencies, and storage guidelines for Rosehip Oil. We are happy to continue to make organic, cold-pressed Rosehip Oil available to our enthusiasts.
Reported to be used by Miranda Kerr and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, Rosehip Oil continues to make headlines as the best natural beauty miracle. Touted for its powerful natural antioxidant and anti-aging properties, Rosehip Seed Oil is leading the fashion and beauty headlines as the latest beauty secret.
Perfect for Daily Skincare
When applied daily as part of a regular skincare regimen, Rosehip Oil is known to naturally improve wrinkles, dryness, stretch marks, age spots, and keeps the skin soft and blemish free. Try our potent Turmeric Rosehip Oil mask recipe for an intensive repairing and hydrating face treatment.
Leven Rose Rosehip Oil is unrefined and pure, keeping the highest levels of naturally-occurring Vitamin E, Beta Carotene (Vitamin A), Vitamin C, and Essential Fatty Acids without any fillers, or additives like perfumes, check out and learn which ones are the most expensive and best fragrances.
Potent in nature, it’s important to determine good oil quality with the best being those that are unrefined, pure and cold-pressed. An unrefined Rosehip Oil is a rich yellow tone, meaning it kept all of the essential elements. A processed oil will have a clear color and lighter consistency, which is a clear signal that many of the important nutrients have been extracted from the final product. A simple side-by-side drop test will show if the oil is unrefined or refined.
How to Use Rosehip Oil
After cleansing your skin with Jojoba Oil or natural face cleanser, gently dry your skin and apply a soothing Rose Water Toner. Then apply 1-3 drops of Rosehip Seed Oil to your face as a nighttime moisturizer and enjoy a beauty sleep.
Perfect as a intensive anti-aging serum, Rosehip Oil also boasts many more uses including hot oil hair treatments, pre or post-shave oil, and to soften cuticles.
We’ve received feedback from customers who love what it’s done for their skin- they have used it to treat acne, wrinkles, dark circles under eyes, as an intensive moisturizer for normal to oily skin, and to naturally brighten and soothe skin for a radiant complexion. Learn about more ways to use Rosehip Seed Oil.
“I use it on my face to help my rosea. I am seeing a difference. I don't see any "bumps" and my skin is so soft. I love the fact that there is no irritating smell, as it is being used on my face.”
“My skin has been so much more calm and noticeably less red. I love it.”
“Helps with skin texture, I've noticed it helps reduce redness in healing blemishes, absorbs nicely.”
Storage
While it does have a light organic scent, fresh oil should still be mild and barely noticeable. If it has a strong smell that’s obvious without being close to your nose, it’s very probable that the oil has gone rancid from either temperature change abuse, age, or low quality packaging. It’s important to buy Rosehip Oil in a bottle like the one Leven Rose offers that’s a dark amber color to protect from UV rays, and with a glass dropper that limits plastic exposure to the pure oil.
For safe storage, all pure and natural oils should be kept out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry place to limit any risk of temperature swings that will limit the life of the oil. A high quality Rosehip Oil like Leven Rose Rosehip Oil will be at it’s best for the first six months from the purchase date for best results.

Layton McGuire Gives His Honest Review of His Leven Rose Beard Oil
Not sure if you've met or heard of Layton before - he's getting to be well-known in the midwest music scene and now has an album on iTunes. We dig him and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
We have to say, we also like his BEARD. I mean, he kept sending us photos of it and we think it's pretty sweet, you might say. He's even been beard modeling - we hadn't spoken directly with someone who had been in that business yet. So, rock on for beards!
We were chatting that he'd just bought our Beard Oil on Amazon just a week or so prior along with some other products and wanted to give us his honest scoop on what he finds. We were especially thrilled because he found us and thought we should dedicate a blog post to him. He seems like a swell guy and here's what he and his beard thought of our Beard Oil:
Leven Rose's beard oil has been such a treat. The first thing I've noticed after using it for some time is that the tips on the end of my beard hair no longer as hard and scratchy, but soft and flexible. The tips of my beard hair also no longer feel dry but healthy and rich.
My beard overall is much softer and more pliable than before. The oil gives the beard a nice shine. I love how applying the oil to my finger tips allows me to get into the deep thick part of my beard where moisture is most needed. I highly recommend this product to any man with a beard.
"If you love your beard, prove it!" Definitely an essential tool in taking care of your beard.
Just a few days later, he messaged us again with another happy quote to leave us with - "My beard is incredibly soft now!".
We're so stoked! Thanks, Layton!
Oh, and check out his album on iTunes: http://apple.co/1pdXJ2R and give his stuff a listen, a purchase and a share.
Beard on!
