Review: Makes my hair AMAZING - This is uniquely amazing for my hair. I have hair that under some circumstances is straight and limp, but at the beach for example it can be full and curly and fabulous. I have tried sea salt sprays and all manner of products and devices to make my hair do it's beach thing where I live, inland, but nothing ever did it. I prefer not to have a highly-coiffed look (and also not to spend a bunch of time grooming). This product is the answer for me. I found it by googling "Alaffia hair" (because I like the brand), and I saw some people use this in their hair even though it isn't really for hair and Alaffia carries several hair styling products. I figured I could use it on my face if it didn't work for my hair. It took me a couple weeks to figure out how to get good results with it but I sure did! My husband unfortunately does not tend to compliment my appearance, but since I started using this several months ago, he is constantly telling me how much he loves my hair. After each time I shower and wash my hair, I moisturize my face with this, then I rub my hands over my neck, chest, and shoulders to get as much of it off as I can without washing it off, and THEN I run by hands through my damp hair. I allow my hair to dry naturally, and it becomes curly and full and freaking gorgeous. My sister asked what I was doing differently too and now she is using it as well, and it does the exact same thing for her. And yes, it's lovely on the skin as well. We all love the way it smells too, a light sesame smell.
Review: Good Natural Moisturizer -- Good Cause, Excellent Performance - Has all natural ingredients you can actually pronounce. Its texture is more waxy than creamy. I needed a strong moisturizer to help keep my skin hydrated in dry and cold winter weather. The natural oil help hydration, the bee pollen, royal jelly and propolis also help nourish the skin and the beeswax acts like sealer. This product also helps fund to programs to support pollinators whose populations are rapidly diminishing due to pollution and climate change. The only thing negative observation I can make on this product is this(this goes for any product--everyone is allergic to something): If you are allergic to bees, make sure you spot test a small amount somewhere unnoticeable. If the spot test skin patch turns red don't use it. Recent Edit On February 15, 2017: I was incredibly impressed yesterday when my skin started to feel dry under my makeup and I was able to put this product on. Not only did in blend with my makeup but it melted right through and kept my skin moist for the rest of the day while the make up stayed put.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Africa's Secret
*by Z***N on February 5, 2017*

I use this at night as a face moisturizer and it works great for me. I have dry skin; this goes on a little greasy which is why I use it at night to absorb into my skin. In the morning my face is nice and soft. I wash in the morning and use a day moisturizer which works fine for me. I have only used Africa's Secret on my face long enough to see that it does make a difference in my dry skin, but if it claims to work any other miracles I can't comment on that simply because I don't think I have used it long enough. I will continue to use it because I love the way my face feels in the morning after using this at night.
