If you’ve been around CCN for a while, you know I’m a natural products guinea pig. If I know it won’t hurt me and it’s made up of elements from the Earth, then I’m happy to try it! So, when I came across Herbal Face Food a few years ago, I was intrigued. It’s been a few years now and I still love this product. I was so excited when they renewed our discount code and gave us an additional 10% off. Use the code CARA30 for 30% off your order!
Plus, they will also be increasing subscriptions to 30% for existing customers, so if you sign up for a subscription, you will also get 30% off. You can change your subscription items and the frequency as often as you would like!
I still get quite a few questions about this product, so I thought I would share my initial thoughts from a few years ago below, plus a few FAQs.
As age creeps in, I’m always wondering how to maintain the face I already have rather than letting age get the best of me. I scheduled a Fraxel laser appointment about a month ago to help me do that. If you’ve ever done a treatment like this or similar, then you know you pay an arm and a leg for it. But it’s worth it if it turns back the clock, right? I’ve still never injected anything into my skin or face, so I'm trying to go about this with less invasive treatments.
So there I was, in early February, trying Herbal Face food for the first time. After just one week of use, I canceled my expensive laser treatment.
After a few days, I noticed my skin was softer and smoother.
After a week, I noticed blemishes were healing much quicker than usual. I also noticed my skin was glowing, and so did a bunch of friends. Which, let’s be honest, is even better than noticing something yourself.
After two weeks, I noticed sun spots and melasma were improving.
After three weeks, I noticed the fine lines were slightly tighter.
After four weeks, when it was that time of month for some hormonal skin issues, I noticed they weren’t nearly as bad and healed quickly.
It’s been about two months, and I love everything about Herbal Face Food and how it’s improving my skin tone.
If you’re interested in the research, I’d love to direct you here to see why these products work.
I’ve noticed improvements in my overall health from applying such powerful herbal and botanical products to my face multiple times a day.
How do you use their products?
I started using the CURE directly on spots two to three times a day. It’s a spot treatment only. I started, as recommended, with Serum 1 all over my face. I used this two to three times a day as well. But since it neither dries nor makes skin oily, you can use it more regularly than your typical skin care. I used the whole bottle (aggressively) of Serum 1 before I moved on to Serum 2.
I want to add here that because these are active ingredients, there is a slight burning sensation when used. I still get that burn every use, and I kind of love it because I know it’s working. It will burn more around the eyes and mouth, so use it with caution if you have sensitive skin. This is also why you want to start with serum 1, which has 25 different herbal properties, and as you move up, they contain more potent combinations for optimal anti-aging and healing.
What products does Herbal Face Food replace?
At first, I thought I would still need moisturizer, but I realized after a week or so that I didn’t need moisturizer because the oils in my serum 1 were working great to moisturize. I noticed the serums kept my skin perfectly hydrated for me, even during Winter.
Currently, I am using BambuEarth charcoal bar for cleansing, then BambuEarth toner. After that, I applied the Herbal Face Food Cure to spots and Serum 2 all over my face (but remember, I started with Serum 1). I still use an exfoliator a couple of times a week, too, and keep in mind that the serum will burn a little extra after this.
I no longer use my moisturizer.
I no longer use my Vitamin E nighttime serum.
I no longer use my Vitamin C morning serum.
I no longer see myself needing laser treatments.
I no longer need my base makeup, like I did after the holidays.
I was so excited to find this product because I am all too familiar with the frustration of skin issues. Granted, I never had any until my mid-30s - then cortisol levels, stress hormones, and hormones in general got the best of me. So, I’m in the stage of life where I need recovery products to work! But I'm also not willing to sacrifice ingredients. So, I’m incredibly grateful Herbal Face Food products are working for me, and I pray they do the same for you.
The soap is now $83! Why? Just for a bar of soap.
I started using it last April. I was absolutely loving it until this winter. My face became super dry on one side if my face in my smile line and around my nose. I had to stop using it and only use a moisturizer. Has anyone else had a problem? I am worried about trying it now and am waiting till spring. Thoughts?
