There are many ways to help reduce wrinkles naturally, and recently I have sampled and tested this new line of products from Alba Botanica Rainforest. Here's some information about the product itself and my experience with it. In general, it was good and I can recommend it if you like a botanical skin care for your anti-aging and wrinkle erasing regime.

Rainforest Alliance Certification - to start with, this is an important seal for the line to be carrying! It's Fair Trade approved!

Alba Botanica adheres to a strong Rainforest Eco Platform for our Rainforest line of premium skin and hair care productsfrom ingredients to packaging.

Natural Renewal, Natural Protection Created to help renew, repair and revitalize skin and hair with moisturizing, emollient-rich oils derived from some of the world's most beneficial fruits and nuts. Alba has blended these potent antioxidant-rich oils to effectively help protect against damaging free radicals and premature aging.

Okay that's a blurb from the website www.albabotanica.com and a big picture to remind you that this product line is sourced in a sustainable Fair Trade area.

I personally tested the Oil control moisturizer (thank goodness because the current heat level is still causing maximum sweat!), the Buriti treatment serum and the nighttime rejuvenation treatment oil.

I used my own cleanser and toner ( a botanical based line I won't mention) and the since it was night , I put on one pump of the Buriti treatment which was very smooth, had nice texture and went on in a soft sweep with a light fragrance. It quickly absorbed in to my skin.

Next I applied two drops of the Nighttime rejuvenation treatment oil with concentrated Buriti and rail Nut oils with extract of /tiger Nut to enhance resilience. Well, I can use all the resilience I can get!

Don't be afraid of applying oil to your face. If its baby oil, you should be terrified, but if it's natural organic nut oil, you are safe to experience the nourishment oil can give over a crme.

I liked the nighttime oil so much in the morning I put a layer on my sunburned chest and it was awesome!

In the morning I re-applied the Buriti treatment serum and then layered on the Hydrating oil control moisturizer.

I'm pleased to say that after three days of experiencing the Alba Botanica Rainforest line, I like it. I see a good plumpness to my skin and smoothness to its texture.
