Women’s Affair Booth A Success!

Just a quick note to let you know a little about our women’s affair booth this past weekend.  It was a great success.  Here are some of the highlights.  Homemade Bath Products

This first picture is a good shot of our tables and how many different products we brought with us.  These are our fizzy milk bath balls and our bath salts.  They were very popular and people would often stop to ask us about them and smell all of our different fragrances.  (They do smell pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!)

Homemade Bath ProductsThis is a picture of the rubber ducky soaps.  We should have brought more.  They didn’t last long.  Once the word got out that we had them, we sold out in no time at all.  People especially liked the Easter duckies.  But they took whatever they could get their hands on, as they were all  irresistibly cute!  We still have plenty available on our website, so if you didn’t get one at the show, you can order yours here.  And, with free shipping, there’s no reason not to order today.

Body ButterThis is a picture of our body butter on the table and our artistic monkey soaps on top of the shelf.  Both were very popular and people would often stop to smell the different fragrances.  Once people tried them, they almost always bought a jar.

So, that’s what my weekend was like.  I hope yours was great, too.  If  you missed the show, maybe we’ll see  you there next year.  But for now, you can shop online.  Don’t forget, we have free shipping on everything in the store.  Have a great week!

Tanning Can Damage Your Beautiful Skin

Tanning Damages Your SkinIt seems that no matter how much the experts warn us, people still flock to the tanning beds to get their dose of fake sunshine.  These dangerous tanning beds can cause cancer and premature aging.  Recently, Texas and Tennessee created laws to inform people of the dangers of tanning.  Many people mistakenly believe that tanning in beds is safer than natural sunlight.

Dermatologists recommend using sunless tanners in a bottle if you want to look tan.  They are very safe!  Plus, your skin will stay soft and wrinkle free a lot longer.

So, don’t risk getting old at a young age or even dying of skin cancer.  It’s just not worth it.

The best way to avoid getting skin cancer is to avoid the sunshine during peak hours and avoid tanning beds.  Take the experts’ advice and wear wide brimmed hats and sun screen when outside and use sunless tanners instead of tanning beds.  It really is that important.

To keep your skin young and soft, use our body butter.  It replenishes moisture and helps your skin stay soft and smooth. We have so many wonderful lotions and body butters that you’re sure to find what you need to keep your skin looking its very best!

Our Goat Milk and Honey Lotion helps keep your hands soft and smooth even through the winter.  A couple of years back, I used to have really dry and cracked hands, which would bleed and hurt.  I had itchy wrists and hands from the dry, red skin.  Now, I use goat milk and honey lotion every day and my hands are soft and supple, like when I was a child.

How To Get Kissably Soft Lips

How To Get Soft Lips

1.  Drink lots of water.  Usually dry lips are a sign of dehydration.  If your lips are dry or chapped, you probably need to drink more water.

2.  Exfoliate dry, dead skin.  Use sugar and vaseline to gently slough off the dead skin.  With your finger, rub gently in small circles.  Wipe off gently with a wet washcloth.  Then apply our lip balm in the same way.

3.  Keep lips protected.  Use our lip balms often to keep lips protected.  Keep a tube in your purse and apply when you think of it.  Use finger to rub in circles for better coverage.

Why Do You Need A Moisturizer?

I’ve been doing some research about how moisturizers work, since I’ve run across several people on twitter who have dry or sensitive skin.  Here’s an interesting article I found that really explains it well.  I thought I should repost it here so that our readers can have access to it.

Why Use Moisturizer for Dry Skin

How Moisturizers Work

When the skin becomes dry and damaged, repair is dependent on returning the moisture of the skin. Moisturizers are agents that increase the water content of the stratum corneum. These chemical products hydrate the skin. Moisturizers contain ingredients that are occlusive and or humectants which are similar to some natural components of the skin.

Humectants are agents that attract water to the skin. The water from the dermis and sometimes from the environment is drawn into the stratum corneum. Normal desquamation process will occur if the stratum corneum is well hydrated and the skin becomes more resistant to drying. Humectants imitate the function of the natural moisturizing agents like amino acids, lactic acids and urea.

Occlusive agents block the loss of water from the skin. These agents form an occlusive film on the skin that prevents evaporation of water from the stratum corneum. Occlusive agents are familiar in the form of petroleum, lanolins and oils.

Some moisturizers are barrier-repairing because they contain lipids similar to that of the skin. They help restore lipid layers affected by irritants and extreme weather changes.

Moisturizers also contain other ingredients that make it effective in restoring the skin’s condition. Water is the main ingredient of moisturizing lotions and creams because they disperse and dilute other ingredients. Lipids form an occlusive effect to prevent water loss and repair the barrier. Emulsifiers allow water and liquid to stay in suspension as a lotion form.

Active ingredients in moisturizers make the skin smooth by attracting water to the skin. These ingredients lubricate and fill in the spaces between dry skin cells making the skin soft. Inactive ingredients are mostly for aesthetic purpose because they maintain the appearance and form of the product.

Moisturizers contain a variety of ingredients that make it effective in giving you that smooth and soft skin. Choose the best product that suits your skin best because products can have varying effects depending on the skin type.

How Moisturizers Work

The best facial moisturizer or best moisturiser don’t always carry the best ingredients in them so surely consider it as well as dry skin lotion.
