This summer I will hit the big 3-5. I hope to bypass some of the trauma involved with hitting this landmark in my life by going to New York City to party it up with friends the week before my birthday, you know… pretend I am still young. ;)
I never thought I would be concerned with aging but it kind of sneaks up on you. You start to notice the skin on your neck and hands getting thinner and you might even see a few stray grey hairs or wrinkles. Thankfully the first sign is the only one I have seen but I am surprised I even care. I don’t wear makeup and frankly don’t care much about fashion either. Aging, make-up, exercise, fashion (aka, how I look) used to be a category with a big fat “Do Not Care” check-mark underneath but suddenly I find that the older I get, the more I am starting to care. I have been buying new to me clothing at second hand stores frequently of late after wearing the same old stuff for more than a decade. I kinda HAD to buy new clothes after more than a year at the gym though. None of my old clothes fit anymore.
Then I started to wear makeup here and there just because I felt like it. My daughter, who had never seen me wear makeup said I looked like Lady Gaga. I am not sure if that should be taken as a compliment. Also recently I was contacted by Juice Beauty to do a review of their Age Defy Solutions Kit and I jumped all over it. Who woulda thunk it? Certainly not me. ;)
I have really enjoyed becoming better acquainted with Juice Beauty products. I can easily see myself becoming a dedicated customer because I know they are a brand and product I can trust to be safe and healthy. I have rather enjoyed eschewing beauty products and makeup all these years because then I didn’t have to research all of it and get discouraged by how generally toxic the beauty market it. I didn’t have to worry about my skin absorbing chemical nasties every day. I feel confident about Juice Beauty though and recommended them to my readers even before I used them myself. Their products are made with a minimum of 85% and up to 98% USDA certified organic content. Instead of the typical water-base that most natural skincare brands use, Juice Beauty products have an organic fruit juice base that is naturally loaded with antioxidants, essential vitamins and phytonutrients – it’s like a smoothie for your skin! I know many raw foodies swear by rubbing pieces of fruit on their skin and these products feel like you are doing just that.
The green Apple Age Defying Kit is simply superb. You can totally smell the green apple!
The kit contains:
Green Apple Cleansing Gel
Green Apple Peel Full Strength
Green Apple Age Defy Serum
Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer
Green Apple SPF15 Moisturizer
You start the day with the cleanser and follow up with the serum and the moisturizer. In the evening you use the cleanser, the peel, the serum, and moisturizer. You leave the peel on for ten minutes and then rinse before you apply the last two. I was a bit hesitant to try the peel because I remember that being popular when I was a teen and it leaving my face all red like a lobster but everything in this kit is gentle and nourishing. They are also highly effective. This isn’t wimpy skincare. I was deeply impressed with how my skin seemed to tighten up and how my pores seemed to shrink. Abuse of my skin as a teen has left me with large pores but they have been much less noticeable with the Age Defy Solutions. My skin has also been silky soft. ;) Both my husband and my youngest son were speaking me at different times this week and suddenly they put a hand to my face and rubbed it against my cheek, which is very uncharacteristic of both. I think they have noticed the difference just as I have.
So A+ for the product and A+ for the company, which was started by a mom who was concerned about everything she put in and on her body when she was pregnant with her first child. Her goal was to create a line of authentically organic, highly effective skincare products and Juice Beauty was born. I am so glad it was.
Now… are you ready to try this kit and/or a $50 Juice Beauty gift certificate to use on the products of your choice? You are??? Awesome! Enter below… and good luck!
Very cool. I have sensitive skin and would love to win!
I’ve been using the Juice Beauty mineral powder and have tried a few other products. Great stuff! I now have a credit with Mary Kay (barter) and need to decide if I want to save money or use a product I know is natural and organic. :) And yes, at 33 I am finally seeing that I need to worry about my aging skin.
Also, love the way you have this giveaway set up. I need to look into this for my next blog contest!
These products look wonderful!
I’m concerned about it so I do my best to prevent needless aging due to lifestyle choices. For me this means no sunbathing (haven’t, ever), daily exercise, etc. I LOVE green apple and would like to try these :)
Would love to try these products. Can’t seem to find a skin care line that works with my skin…
I have tried a few of the Juice Beauty products based on one of your other reviews and have really liked them. Green Apple sounds lovely!
I need this! 40 is facing me fairly soon, but I have a baby on the way, so I have to stay looking young:)
I hit the big 4-0 last July!! Glad to say I really wasn’t impacted — but still wouldn’t mind some products to help me stay young!
I would love to try Juice Beauty! I’m 32 and definitly starting to be more concerned about aging and my skin.
Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Age Defying Kit is amazing! I tired the kit when I turned 40 ( a few months ago) and now I am buying all of the products in their full sizes! My skin looks brighter, has an even skin tone and feels the best it ever has!
I am not that worried. I eat well, drink lots of water, and stay active! :)
I am a little concerned about aging. I’m 32 and am more concerned about preventing signs of aging rather than erasing the years.
I have started to think more about it now that my skin is changing and I’m trying to figure out the best routine to help it.

Hoping to try this out. I’m almost 30 and I am hoping to slow the aging process down. I don’t want to look 20 forever, just want to are well!
I absolutely LOVE the Juice Beauty Age Defying Kit!! I am over 50 and love how juice beauty has made my skin glow and evened out my skin tone! I have been using the products for a few weeks and noticed results very quickly. Great Product!
Would love to try it – I am definitely concerned about my skin even though I’m making the right lifestyle choices
Sounds fantastic! I would love to try the Green Apple products! :)
I got a sample of the blemish clearing cleanser in my Birchbox and gave it to my brother since I have clear skin and he has teenage acne. Within TWO days his face was noticeably clearer and within a week COMPLETELY clear! My mom was so happy she bought TWO bottles! So I went on the hunt to find it at my local Ulta and bought the SPF 15 moisturizer and the Green Apple Cleansing Gel! I am super happy with my new organic skincare, but I’d love to replace all of my beauty products with organic!
I have recently begun to include skin care and makeup in my organic/environmentally friendly/healthy transition of products. I recently learned of Juice Beauty via Birchbox and would love to try more of their products, but am currently in grad school and can’t really afford the extra splurge. thanks for the giveaway!!
I would love to try this line out. I’ve been thinking about my skin a lot more lately.
Aging…yes especially when my Mom has such wonderful skin at 50! and mine is not so great at 30! Eating real food and diy homemade skin treatments is helping!
I am starting to see aging happen to my face. Just turned 25 this year and I can see things shifting, lol. It’s a great motivator to eat raw and paleo! :)
I have been wanting to go more natural in my skincare as of late too… also with make-up. Does it smell of green apple?
These products sound great! I’d be interested in trying them out.
these sound so pampering! Ever since I learned how awful regular beauty products are I stopped using everything except a simple cleanser. At 33 I am noticing my face is dry and blotchy and I think a little extra care is needed.
I have been checking them out a lot online lately and am so impressed! Would love to be able to try out the kit!
I am concern about aging and thank you for the chance!
Yah, I was never much concerned with aging, as I always looked much younger.
But now that I am well into my 40s age sure is starting to show. Sometimes I think my mother has less wrinkles than I !! So I would really LOVE to try this kit!! ;o)
I just turned 40 (yikes!) and I could totally use some anti-aging product! I am always looking for products that are better for my skin!
This sounds great! I would love to try this!!
I am just starting to see old age on my skin too! I would love to win and try these products!
I too have recently noticed a BIG change in my skin…I don’t do make-up, and try to stay out of the sun – but have had a hard time finding natural products that work (most of what I have found to use are just oils which cause my acne prone skin to break out). I am about to turn 35 and don’t like that my skin is suddenly making me look a LOT older! I would love to try something new that works and that I can actually feel good about using. I would attempt to make my own – but with working nights and taking care of two babies – who has the time to research – buy the ingredients – and create?????? I would love to win a sample of these products and give them a try!
I would love to try this kit!
I think I would get the Purely Kissable Lip Color and the Cleansing Milk. I love Juice Beauty!
And no I’m not really concerned about aging yet. :)
Would love to try the SPF moisturizer! Usually sunscreen makes me itchy. It would be awesome if this one didn’t! :)
At 45, yes, I’m concern about my skin aging. Aging is a process that must be embraced and celebrated, but it should also include taking care of your body and skin. I love Juice Beauty products and would love to try these ones.
