Skinny Cult: Moon Juice's Moon Dusts and Adaptogens

I've been going through the items I received in the Sephora Inner Beauty, and while there has been both hits or misses, I am really surprised to find I REALLY liked the Beauty Dust.- though not really for the beauty results. I found the Beauty Dust mellowed me out and put me in a cheerful mood. I looked into the reviews other people had left, to find that the dusts are, amongst many other things, intent on aiding with stress via adaptogens. Who knew? I mean, literally, who even knows what adaptogens are? Am I late to the party? It's the first time I've heard of them. So I did what any red bloody American girl would do- Google it. It is now my understanding that adaptogens are herbs that are touted to protect the toxic effect of stress. Adaptogens are intended to promote homeostasis (balance, for the non-scientifically inclined) and to increase resistance to stress. It isn't a newer fad, we can thank the Soviets for creating the term adaptogens in 1947 and it gained popularity rapidly through the late forties into the fifties as they performed increasingly extensive research on the subject. I have also read they are rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, which is a whole other subject I really don't know enough about to even attempt to touch on.

Now I'm a skeptic. A vain skeptic. Had this been marketed to me as a stress tonic, I would've blown it off. It just doesn't seem like something that I would see many results from- but the Beauty Dust definitely chilled me out. I researched the company, the product, other people's experiences, and decided I was going to by some cans of their other products along with a replacement can of beauty dust, until I found they offered the product in a sort of a variety pack for roughly the same price per volume.

Sold.

I was originally interested In the Beauty one, and was torn between the Power one and the Spirit one. Now I can try all six that they offer, Brain, Beauty, Sex, Power, Spirit, Dream, and try to convince myself I am saving myself money.

Some teeny tiny letters right here.

So tiny they're blurry.

I added a protein they offer to my order as well- "Blue Beauty Adaptogenic Protein". I'll follow up with my results once I give them the good old college try.
