The next product I came across was by NAVAN skin care. They also offer a variety of beauty products. I decided to try the retinol 2.5% anti-wrinkle serum. After 2 days I found it wasn’t right for my skin, so I decided to have a woman who was older than me give it a try. She used it daily and it became part of her morning routine. She washed her face then applied the retinol right after, and then she waited a few minutes and applied her usual make up. She told me she could start seeing improvements in the texture of her skin, it reduced age spots and wrinkles. She was pleased with this retinol serum. She saw more improvements day after day.

For the next product I was excited to try was by the company Forever. They have many products to choose from but I will talk about my favourite ones.  The first one I tried was there Aloe Propolis Crème. The cream is thick in texture but goes on smoothly, and it helps maintain beautiful skin tone and texture. I would apply it to my face and neck every morning after washing my face. It moisturizes perfectly and soothes any irritation your skin may have. It has aloe vera, bee propolis and camomile. The second product I tried was the aloe vera gelly. It’s a soothing clear gel that soothed my skin, and lubricated my sensitive skin safely. I applied it nightly after washing my face and it calmed any irritations. Their products are also certified organic and they do not test on animals. The next product of theirs that I tried was there aloe moisturizing lotion with collagen and elastin. It can be used all over the body including the face and hands, and It leaves the skin feeling soft and supple.
