CLOSED YBF Skincare Beauty Prize Pack #Giveaway
Tuesday, July 05, 2011 Posted by BusyWorkingMama
As we began work on YBF, we posed the question, "just how great can we make our products?" Trial and error of formulations ensued over 18 months, and throughout the learning curve more light bulbs arose for us both. It was exciting, but highly challenging. We made the leap from working with ingredients costing tens of dollars to those costing us thousands. We'd throw out batch after batch until our formulas became something we knew future customers would love. Darrell: I remember putting a months pay into one test batch, getting it almost right except for a single, troublesome, ingredient — then watching it collapse into a watery mess. In the end it was worth it, but those were incredibly trying times, especially for everyone around me.
By the summer of 2006, we had our first four products, and we went to press with our first labels and later that year we celebrated the holiday season with the addition of the launch of our website. Since our brand and products were completely new to the world, it was hard finding anyone who would believe in us. Then along came Lisa LaPrade who was the first to review our products in March, 2007. It was exciting to see, for the first time, someone else writing online about YBF and our products! A few months later, in May, Patti at The Skin Care Shop believed in us and our products enough to be the first to put YBF on her shelves and follow with selling YBF online shortly after that. She has been the perfect partner for us, and we enjoy working with her so very much.
Currently, we have thirteen core consumer products, special seasonal products and a pro-series. We have more in the works and expect to see our line continue to expand throughout 2011.
MY THOUGHTS
As a self-pronounced lotion and potion junkie, I was thrilled to have this media kit arrive on my doorstep.
I have rather sensitive skin and am very careful about what I put on it. I have to say that all of these products were gentle on my skin. My favorites? hydrate B, boost and antioxidents along with the quench lip treatment and restore serum. Actually, was there anything I didn't like? Nope. My skin reacted well - keep in mind it is very sensitive - and the products did not leave my face feeling too oily at all despite my combination skin. I enjoyed the texture and scent of all of the products in my kit.

I learned that their Restore won't clog pores (yeah!) and can help to fade scars. I would love to give this a try to help even out my skintone. I like that it's okay to use under makeup or you can use it at night.

Free radicals contribute to skin aging as unstable molecules that damage everything from cell walls to DNA.

I'm 58 years old and could really use the RESTORE. Their website says "Advanced brighteners, vitamins and top antioxidants work to even pigmentation, diminish dark spots and reduce inflammation for a refreshed look you'll love." Yes, definitely something I'd be interested in using.
