Gourmet Lip Balms

These lip balms come in transparent tubes with colorful labels, and contain beneficial oils, such as coconut and rice bran, as well as natural cocoa butter and organic local beeswax. They're flavored with natural and artificial flavors and are barely sweetened, so they're not like smearing frosting on your mouth.

I've been told they're the smoothest balms ever, not a hint of waxiness.

Facial Cleansing Oil - 2 oz.

The idea of washing your face using oils is one that sent me reeling with horror the first time I heard of it. But after trying it out for a month or two, I was convinced that it was my new favorite method of cleansing, and saw the results on my skin. The combination of castor oil (an astringent and drawing oil) with olive and rice bran oils (to soften and moisturize the skin) is a powerful force in the quest for a nice complexion. Rub a small amount of the oil onto a dry face and massage for a few minutes. Follow the massage by steaming your face with a hot (but not scalding) cloth and wiping away the cleansing oil. You might notice your face feeling a bit tight after cleansing with the oils (seriously!), so it's a good idea to follow up any cleansing with your favorite moisturizer.

I can't promise that this product will work for everybody, but I can say that I use it every day, and not only has it made my skin noticeably softer and smoother, but if I skip a day and cleanse with soap instead I can definitely tell a difference. I've opted to forego fancy packaging on this item in order to keep the cost down so everybody can try it. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Rescue Skin Balm

This solid moisture balm is light and sinks into skin without any greasy residue - instead it leaves a dewey, protected feeling to soothe and calm itchy, dry skin. Try it on elbows and knees, or as an intensive hand cream after gardening or washing the dog. I keep a jar in my purse as a take-anywhere moisturizer. Also makes a fabulous nightime treatment for feet and hands.

Contains olive oil and organic local beeswax, as well as essential oils of Melaleuca (Tea Tree), Lavendin, and Eucalyptus. The balm is a natural khaki color and has a soft, refreshing herbal scent. 1.7 oz. A little goes a *long* way!
