Welcome to our very first newsletter!
Winter Skincare Tips
When winter comes, we often find our skin changing with the season. For many of us dryness strikes and were left with dry and dehydrated skin. Flakies galore!
There are things you can do to help combat this seasonal change! Here are a few tips!
Tip #1 Use a shower filter! This actually goes for year round. But if you don’t have a shower filter definitely consider one!
Chlorine is used in tap water to get rid of the nasties, sure. But it also causes havoc on our skin! It dries it out big time! Especially during winter time. And actually for oily skinned gals this can make them oilier, because it strips their skin of its natural oils. So oily skin types tend to pump more out to try to make up for it.
Tip #2 Keep yourself hydrated! When considering what water to drink I highly suggest drinking filtered, distilled or spring water.
Same concept as above, except for chlorine in regular tap water also eats up the good bacteria in your intestines which means slower digestion and also drying out the skin from the inside out.
Tip #3 Eat your Fruits and Veggies – Keep a balanced diet of fruits and veggies! But if you are not able to do this or you feel you need more than what you are getting, definitely consider taking a vitamin supplement. I usually like to suggest a multi-vitamin that is food based. This is because you know you are getting the bio-available version of the vitamins rather than synthetic versions. Without proper vitamins and minerals in our body, we won’t have what the body needs to repair itself. Inside and Out!
A few specific skincare thoughts..
Use a GENTLE cleanser whether your skin is dry or oily.
Spritz as frequently as you feel necessary!
A good moisturizer is very beneficial!

New Products
Although we have MANY new skincare items to come, this is just a peek at a few that will be up on the site soon :)
Hemp Beauty Bar – We formulated this bar with a very large amount of REAL Organic hemp butter and Organic hemp oil! Hemp is known for its healing and anti inflammatory properties, we believe this is a soap that dry skins will love. Can also help with skin that has eczema!
Coconut Cream & Shea Beauty Bar - In this formulation we have added a very large amount of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Coconut “Butter” (which is the cream/oil and fiber content) in one :) And a healthy dose of Unrefined Organic Shea butter! Coconut Oil has a high content of lauric acid which is known to be anti bacteria. This combination with shea butter can help not only heal blemishes, but also keep your skin moisturized too!
Neem Beauty Bar – This is our highest recommended beauty bar for acneic skin! We add a nice hearty amount of neem oil to our bar and Neem Leaves too! Neem is known to help acneic skin. Neem has a anti bacterial effect so it can also be used on skin with the need for a good anti bacterial and healing effects.
Midnight Beauty Bar – A blend of the BEST African black soap and our own soap. This soap is sure to knock your socks off. HUGE amount of shea butter in this soap! And we add more too :) This has actually been my favorite for the past few weeks! Perfect for all skin types, as black soap is known to help with both dry and acneic skin. Can help to smooth the complexion and smooth fine lines and pores.
Til next time!
Blessings to all!
