Facial Exfoliators

If you start using a gentle exfoliator on your face, your skin will look better.  It’s as simple as that.  Exfoliated skin looks fresh and flawless.  There are many facial exfoliating options, everything from the Buff Puff to Microdermabrasion and Peels. 

A perfect facial exfoliator that’s great for everyday use is exfoliating gloves.   Use the gloves to gently exfoliate delicate facial skin.  Since you throw them in the washer after use (much like a wash rag) they are more eco-friendly than disposable sponges and puffs.  Exfoliating gloves are a must-have to keeping skin looking radiant.  They are exceptionally great to exfoliate lips.

Green Facts: Pets

According to the American Humane Association, more American households have pets than have children, and we spend more money on pet food than on baby food.

Go Green With English Ivy

Certain greens can help remove indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene. English Ivy is an easy-to-grow toxin fighter.

Winter Skin and Your Hands

The winter months can be brutal on the appearance of your hands.  Not only are your nails more frail, but your skin becomes dry and scaly.  You can keep your hands pretty with regular exfoliation.  When your hands need some 911 help, follow these instructions:  At least twice a day, wash your hands with a vegetable-based all-natural sugar scrub.  A vegetable-based sugar scrub does not leave your hands feeling like an oil slick…veggie-based formulas have a perfect consistency of super soft sugar.  The soft sugar will gently exfoliate the top layer of dry skin on the hands, and leaves a protective soft coating on your hands.  Follow with lotion and your hands will look great in a matter of days. 

Beauty In, Beauty Out

Great things planned for our eco-chic bath & body line for 2010.  We have more Spa Soaps than ever before, introducing Honey Grapefruit, Organic Orange, Beach, and Acai Berries.  Our Spa Soaps are all-natural and super-mild .  An excellent facial wash, gentle to the skin and won’t cause breakouts.
