Muscle Roller Stick

I received the Muscle Roller Stick by FLEXX Sports through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Great for runners or athletes 
• Helps stretch and compress muscles
• Reduces muscle pain or soreness
• Can be used before or after exercise
• Prevents muscle injuries 
• Reduces effects of lactic acid
• Increases circulation
• Weighs 9 oz. 
• 1.5" diameter
• 18.3" length

When I first joined this promotion, I didn't realize the center part actually moved to help massage muscles. 

This roller stick reminded me a lot of a rolling pin for cooking. In fact, I've tried using rolling pins before for sore muscles to help increase circulation. 

This muscle roller stick works much better to create a deeper massage. The roller stick rolls much better than a rolling pin. It's much easier to use. 

The roller stick is small enough that makes for easy storage or fits perfectly in a gym bag. 

I also didn't expect the muscle roller stick to be made with as much quality as it did. The muscle roller stick has a steel rod core, where the nine rollers are. Each of the nine rollers spin separately to provide a deeper massage. There's rubber hand grips to help improve the hold.

Stretch Mark & Scar Cream

I received the Stretch Mark and Scar Cream from InstaNatural through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Minimizes appearance of stretch marks or scars
• Prevents new marks from forming
• Helps moisturize areas where collagen has weakened
• Can be used on hips, stomach, arms, thighs, etc.
• Enhances elasticity of skin
• Made with: Vitamin C, Cocoa Butter, Rosehip Oil, Mango Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Evening Primorose Oil

When I first tried this product, the oil and lotion/butter parts had separated a bit. After shaking up the product, it was mixed together better. 

The cream reminded me a lot like lotion. It was a deep moisturizer, which was great. It absorbed quickly as well. It had no strong over powering scent. I had worried the rosehip oil would make it have too much of a strong perfume, but it didn't. 

I was an infrequent user of this stretch mark cream. I didn't get into the habit of putting it on daily. When I did apply the cream, I noticed that some of my stretch marks did reduce in appearance.  My more defined ones didn't change much. I usually used the Stretch Mark and Scar Cream on my arms and stomach. I probably would have seen more results if I had used the cream more frequently.
