Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer works for my Super dry skin!

Crowdtap sample of Curel Hydra Therapy Moisturizer

I have very dry skin, including "scaly" Psoriasis on my elbows and knees, which is why I was very excited when I was selected by Crowdtap to try Curel's HydraTherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer- and I was not disappointed! In Israel, at the Dead Sea, which clears Psoriasis in 30 days, we'd rub baby oil into our skin under the showers to keep our skin moisturized, and so I am familiar with the concept of wet-skin moisturizing, but Curel's moisturizer is SO much better than greasy baby oil! It's not greasy (like baby oil), and it's absorbed readily into my wet skin. It keeps my skin moisturized, soft, and smooth, and doesn't make me itch like so many other moisturizers I have tried! And I am going to keep using it!

As you can see from the photos, my arms and hands and elbows (as well as my knees) are now all nice and smooth! No redness, no flaky, dry skin, no scales! Just nice, smooth, normal, hydrated skin! I can wear sleeveless tops again! YAY! for Curel! This is really a Great product for anyone with dry skin! 

Applying Curel Hydra Therapy Moisturizer...

I keep my Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer in the bathroom on the sink, so it's ready for me when I get out of the tub! I use it every night after my bath, while my skin is warm and wet, and while I use it on my entire body, I focus on my arms and legs, as they are the driest- especially my knees and elbows, where I get "scaly" Psoriasis. I massage it in, and I don't towel off- I let it soak in. It's absorbed really quick, and it's not greasy, so there's no staining of clothing or sheets!

I have been Very pleased with all the Curel products I've tried so far (thanks to Crowdtap I was able to try their excellent "Itch Defense" products- Spray, Body Wash, and Moisturizer- products which I love and use regularly), but this is so far the best one yet!

As I've written before, Crowdtap is a great program if you are interested in giving your opinion about products, as well as being invited to sample and review them! Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments- and let me know if you've tried any Curel skin care products, and what you think of them!

Plexus: Taking control of my weight- finally! BLACK FRIDAY DEAL TODAY!

A dear FEMA co-worker and friend for many years, Tom B., has had great- and fast- success with weight reduction (he's lost 15 lbs. and one belt notch in only a month!) & getting healthier using Plexus nutritional supplements (see his story below), so after careful consideration last night I decided to try them myself! I decided to do this NOW- & not wait any longer- because: 1) I am Truly sick and tired of being overweight, and having nothing work to help me permanently lose the 40lbs. I packed on, and 2) there is a "Black Friday Special" good through TONIGHT (Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014) that I wanted to take advantage of! I would LOVE to get my cheekbones back, as well as get back into my size 6s! If you are interested, click on my link below: http://elkhorninn.myplexusproducts.com where you can sign up, and read about and order products.
I consulted with both Tom, and his mentor, Billie, and decided to start my regimen with 4 products that work together: Plexus Slim, Pro Bio 5, Bio Cleanse, and the X Factor Vitamin. I am then going to add Block. I also got the Fast Relief Cream for Dan to try when his back pain kicks up. NOTE: There is ALSO a coupon code: THANKS2014 for an extra 10% off!   Feel free to ask me any questions you like, & if I don't know the answer I'll ask Tom & Billie and get right back to you! My email is elisse @ elkhorninnwv.com (remove the spaces- I'd put in a hot link, but then the spammers will get it, too!)

Tom B's Plexus success: "I started the Plexus Products on Oct 22nd, after much deliberation and skepticism.  I began as an "Ambassador", mainly because I wanted to get my products at a discount! After 5 days, I noticed a very positive change: I was eating much less and getting satisfied much faster- and this was a very good thing! My cravings for sweets began to lessen, too. And now, after only a little of over one month, I have lost 15 pounds and my energy level has gone up drastically! My blood sugar level is also getting back to normal; most of the time my readings are now below 100. I don't have a serious blood sugar level issue, but I am taking both Glipizide and Metformin, and I'm hoping I can get off the Rx medications. I'm pretty sure that my regular check-up in December will find my A1C levels within normal range. I credit Plexus Slim and Accelerator for all of this! This week I added Bio Cleanse and Pro Bio 5 to my regimen. My wife and daughter are now starting the program to lose weight, as well."

There is a great deal of good information on the Plexus website, including product ingredients and testimonials. Because I'm allergic now to so many medications, and I have to depend almost 100% on natural and herbal supplements to literally save my life, I was impressed by the natural ingredients in Plexus products, including Aloe Vera, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Chlorogenic Acid, pro-biotics, vitamins, and enzymes. Many of the Plexus products were specifically designed for people with diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other serious illnesses. I am simply 40 lbs. overweight, but at 4'10" tall, being 150 lbs. makes me clinically obese, and I've been warned by doctors that if I don 't lose 40 lbs. Now I will be at a serious risk for developing diabetes. I was 110 lbs.- the right weight for my height- all my adult life- with no dieting- until I turned 48, when it seemed like my metabolism simply Stopped. I packed on 15 lbs. inside a week, grew right out of my clothes, and in the last several years my weight has ballooned up to 150 lbs. I had lots of tests done to see if there was some issue with my thyroid, adrenal system, or hormones, but everything came back "normal". Diet, exercise, supplements- nothing has worked to get the weight off and keep it off. I always wore a size 6- now I'm a size 12 with two chins and no cheekbones! And I had truly and basically given up hope... until Tom shared his recent success with me.
My intention is to do what Tom did: start my Plexus regimen as soon as it arrives, and post in about a month- hopefully reporting success! I hope you'll join me- it would be fun to share success stories and help keep each other motivated!
