Review (4/5): To BEE or Not To BEE
The Body Lotion (240 mL) I’ve only been putting on areas that have a bit of psoriasis (stomach and elbows) and while it hasn’t cured the psoriasis, it hasn’t made it worse. It keeps the area from getting the plaque build up, and being dry and flaky. I apply the lotion morning and evening. I give the Pure Mauve Body Lotion a Positive BUZZ.
Have I ever told you how much I love trying new beauty products? In July I was fortunate enough to be sent the Pure Mauve Line of Products Made in Canada by Carapex Inc. of Chambly, Quebec to test out for 30 days and give my opinion. One of the reasons they thought I could benefit from this specific range is because I have written previously about the scalp psoriasis I’ve had for the past 18 months. The Tea Tree Oil is thought to help clear up the plaque that grows quickly over the scalp and sometimes other areas. This plaque appears very dry and can flake, crack, and if scratched can bleed and be very sore. Here’s a quote from the Carapex website about the Pure Mauve line “Due to our passion in the benefits of Tea Tree Oil, we developed this line of clean, natural, invigorating products. Only the purest, highest quality of Australian Tea Tree Oil has been utilized to work wonders on skin inflammation, breakouts and other conditions.”
So I don’t have to type it out every time, each Pure Mauve product I was sent has the name “Invigorating” and “with Tea Tree Oil”. I like the dark purple bottles because they’re different from anything else I have in the bathroom so stand out. I wear contacts so can barely see without them or my glasses and each bottle cap (except the Body Lotion) has a large silver letter on it so you know what it is you’re grabbing for. “S” for Shampoo, “C” for Conditioner, “T” for Toner, “M” for Moisturizer and “C” again for Cleanser. The Hair products are double the size of the facial ones, so you wouldn’t ever mix up the two “C”s.
I’ve been using everything exclusively for 30 days now and have 2/3 left still of the Lotion, Shampoo and Conditioner and 1/2 of the facial toner, cleanser, and moisturizer. I estimate the face items would last 2 months, the hair products for 3, and the body lotion would depend on whether you use it all over or just in certain areas. If you do not enjoy the smell of Tea Tree Oil, then these products are NOT for you. I joke that I smell like a health food store when I’m done my routine! Luckily the smell doesn’t last all day and you can still wear body mists or perfumes without the fragrance changing.
Final Results: To BEE (this gets a positive BUZZ)
