It has been a while since I have shared a skincare review and for this one simple reason. I only share products that I have used myself and truly believe in. The products I share need to not only perform but also need to align with my values and mission. And when I say product I’m talking about both the ingredients and the brand itself.
I have never been so excited to share a product with all of you as I am to share Herbal Face Food. Not only is Herbal Face Food the cleanest skincare product I have ever used but I had the honor of getting to chat with founder J. Michael Zenn who is the creator of this innovative product and internationally published author of the Self Health Revolution book. Michael has his own skin healing story which resonated with me. Many of the best products on the market have come from someone who created them due to their personal need. You can read his story here.
LEARNINGS FROM MY JOURNEY
As you know I have been on a long healing journey from Ankylosing Spondylitis and Iritis. The more I have learned about interferences to healing the more focused I have been to refine the products I am using on my skin. Not only to simplify my life but to ensure the products I am using are truly clean and void of ingredients I know do not serve my body and could potentially harm it.
I have also learned that Self Love is Essential! Part of self love is caring for your body and one way to care for your body is to put intent into not only what you put into it but what you put onto it as well.
Our skin is our largest organ and 67% of what we put on our skin goes directly into our body. In fact, within just 28 min of application chemicals in skincare products can be found in the bloodstream and vital organs. The average woman puts 515 synthetic chemicals on her body every single day which equates to about 5lbs of chemicals absorbed into the body yearly! Pretty crazy when you think about it! But this helps us to understand that the products we use can hinder our healing. You can learn more about how the body absorbs chemicals from the products we use here.
WHAT MAKES HERBAL FACE FOOD DIFFERENT
The Ingredients do! There is no other product like Herbal Face Food on the market. Herbal Face Food serums are 100% PLANT (not plant-based). Meaning they contain only plants and nothing else. No synthetic or man-made ingredients and are also safe to eat! I’m not saying to eat it but you could if you wanted to. 
These serums go beyond clean and non-toxic skincare. There is nothing like Herbal Face Food on the market. “Plants are the original Scientists. Plants are the ancient Estheticians.” – J. Michael Zenn
- All ingredients are Organic and or Wild-Harvested
- 100% Plants (NOT plant-based)50+ Botanicals (more than any other serum on the market)

- 10 of the most Anti-Viral Botanicals
- Edible (you can eat it, but I don’t encourage it)
- Vegan, Sustainably and Ethically Sourced
- No Fillers, Chemicals, or Preservatives
OXYGEN RADICAL ABSORBANCE CAPACITY (ORAC) RATING
Antioxidants are important but all are not created equally. Did you know there is a scientific method for measuring the antioxidant/anti-aging power of a given ingredient or plant-chemical combination. Its called the ORAC rating. I was blown away when I learned about this. You can find some of the most well known and expensive skincare products and their ORAC rating here. Want to hear a fact that will blow your mind? At least it did mine. Vitamin C rates less than 100,000 on the ORAC scale. Herbal Face Food serum registers at over 30 million on the ORAC scale. That is 100,000x the anti-aging power of Vitamin C. Absolutely crazy right? How great to have one main go to product that is delivering unmatched anti-aging power.
IT’S IN THE RESEARCH

MY RESULTS
Overall my skin is pretty good which I attribute to all the fasting I do and my focus on a clean diet. But, like everyone, there are things about my skin that I have always struggled with. I have dry and sensitive skin and as I have aged I have noticed more areas of redness, broken capillaries, larger pores in certain areas of my face, and fine lines around my eyes and mouth. I am 43 so all of these things are completely normal. I am not wanting to look like I am 20 but I do want to age gracefully and have more good skin days than not.
Since using Herbal Face Food I consistently wake up to better skin each day. I have never noticed the changes I am noticing with any other product. My skin is less red, smoother, and blemish-free. The fine lines around my lips, mouth, and under my eyes seem to diminish more and more each day. One of the biggest changes I have seen is two broken capillaries on my nose that were very visible slowly fading.
I also had quite a large scar on my neck from a curling iron burn and decided to try Herbal Face Food on it and within a week of use, it was almost completely gone. This product is not only amazing for the face but can be used anywhere on the body. Herbal Face Food truly heals your skin!
HOW I USE HERBAL FACE FOOD
What is great about Herbal Face Food serums is they can be used alone or added to your current skincare routine. There are two main rules you want to follow. First, you want to ensure you shake the serum well before applying it, and second, you want to apply the serum to clean skin to ensure maximum absorption. I wait for 10-15 for full absorption and then move on to any other product I may want to use. Sometimes I use a moisturizer or additional product sometimes I don’t. In the beginning, I still felt I needed a moisturizer but as time has gone on and my skin has improved and become more balanced the less I feel I need to layer with a moisturizer.
Whether you use Herbal Face Food once or twice a day or just a few times a week you are going to see visible improvements to your skin. One thing I want to mention is that you will feel the serums working. What I mean by that is you will experience a warming, tingly sensation. Don’t worry this is completely normal and will fade in a few minutes. This feeling is caused by the serum stimulating blood flow to help the nutrients absorb deep into the skin. When you begin adding Herbal Face Food to your skincare routine you will start with The Serum 1 as an all-over serum and The Cure as a spot treatment. You may not need The Cure but if you have specific areas of concern on your skin then it is a perfect addition. I layer The Cure over The Serum I on fine lines.
Herbal Face Food is a standout product and one I will continue to use. Each day gets better and better!
