Springtime Skin Care

The springtime pollen, humidity, and seasonal outside irritants can make an impact on our skin. Lavender filled products like Lavender Shea Butter Facial Lotion and Lavender Body Lotion both offer a calming relief to skin looking for balance from itching and mild sensitivities.

Hotter weather means that more skin is exposed under lighter, looser and less clothing.  Has the cold winter weather left you with imperfections, breakouts and blackheads on your face and body?  Give my Mucky Seaweed Soap infused with coconut carbon powder a try.  This detoxifying soap is loaded with coconut carbon which gently removes excess debris from your pores all over your entire body.  You will love the results of this soap.

Is your body ready for the pool and beach?

Swimsuit season is just around the corner, so give my Rosemary Mint Body Scrub a try too soften and smooth your whole body.  The harsh winter weather may leave our skin looking less than ideal. Exfoliate away the dead skin left on the surface from the cold months with my sugar scrub cubes, this scrub will uncover the fresh and radiant skin hiding just beneath the surface.

We are all seeking radiant and youthful skin, you can confidently strut your best spring glow with these springtime skin care tips. Be good to your skin by creating an amazing skin care routine, you will see and feel the difference.

Smiles, Paula

Skincare Q&A

You've got Questions?  I’ve got Answers!
Today I am super excited to be writing a Q&A blog post about some of my handmade skincare products by Natural Garden Soaps.  I have chose to include some of the most frequently asked questions about my organic skincare line.  Here I've put together some informative information regarding a few of my handmade soaps, shea butter lotions and body scrubs, so you can find them all in one place!

Q: What do you recommend for dry, sensitive skin?
A: Without any hesitation, I recommend my Lavender Shea Butter Soap.  The lavender and shea butter gently provides superior moisturizing and soothing benefits to all of you with sensitive skin.  Follow up by slathering on my calming Lavender Shea Butter Body Lotion all over your body.

Q: What soap do you suggest for people suffering from eczema?
A: I certainly recommend my Honey Bee & Oatmeal Soap, I have gotten amazing feedback from many of my customers.  The key ingredients are coconut oil, beeswax, honey and oatmeal which all sooths the skin, heals and moisturizes.

Q: Do you have a soap or lotion that is unscented or scent-free?
A: Yes! Unscented Shea Butter Soap and Unscented Shea Butter Body Lotion, they both can be used anywhere on your body that needs cleansing, hydration and moisturizing without any smell.  Perfect for those of you with sensitive noses.

Q: Should I use Body Scrub Cubes before or after I shave?
A: Use my Sugar Scrub Cubes before you shave to exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin cells, teases out unwanted ingrown hairs plus it will help you shave closer and smoother. If you want to moisturize after you shave, use yummy Vanilla Grapefruit Shea Butter Lotion.  This rich and thick lotion will make your legs silky, soft and super smooth.

Q: What soap and lotion should I use on my face?
A: Break out the Shea Butter Sage Soap, this bar is infused with sage essential oil which acts as a mild inflammation that improves the skin's overall appearance, making pores seem smaller thus having a firming effect.  Follow up with my Natural Facial Toner and Shea Butter Facial Lotion.

I hope that you enjoyed all of this information about my handmade line of organic skincare.  Thanks for stopping by, I love unexpected visitors at any hour. {I am thrilled.....that you visited my blog}!
