Kreamie’s Collection: A natural body scrub that’s good enough to eat!

April 18, 2014

Kreamie's Collection brown sugar body scrub.

I may have mentioned a time or two how I love natural beauty products. I have very sensitive skin that is prone to dryness and natural beauty products work well for me without the irritation that store brands can give me. I recently tried Kreamie’s Collection Brown Sugar Body Scrub($16) made with raw brown sugar (of course), essential oils, vanilla and coconut oil. The scrub is gentle enough to use on your face and has just the right amount of oil to keep you skin moisturized.

The key beauty ingredient is brown sugar which is beneficial for the skin. While sugar may not be good for our waistline it has fantastic skin care benefits. Brown sugar is safer than salt scrubs since the larger salt grains can be abrasive and tear the skin.

Brown sugar helps to scrub dead skin cells away and leaves the skin with a healthy glow. Brown sugar also contains glycolic acid which fights bacteria. The benefit of glycolic acid is that it is an alpha-hydroxyl acid, which is beneficial in keeping your skin vivacious and healthy – especially sun damaged and mature skin.

Aside from the all of the health benefits, Kreamie’s Collection Brown Sugar Body Scrubs smells delicious. The handmade body scrub is available in a variety of delectable scents including Coconut Lime, Passion Fruit with Rose Hip and Peppermint Sugar Scrub. If you’re seeking a natural skin care product that smells good enough to eat, check out Kreamie’s Collection!

Review: Green Envee Organics Body Scrub + Cream Cleanser

July 11, 2013

Green Envee Organics Review

I really enjoy my bath time, it’s a relaxing everyday escape from the stressors of life. So I take my beautification ritual very seriously. Not only do my bath products have to work well they need to smell great too. That’s why I was so pleased with Green Envee Organics. Green Envee Organics creates beauty products that promote of the mind, body, and spirit as a whole and them smell fresh and clean. Their product line consists of aromatherapy body care, homeopathic and energetically enhanced skin care that taps into Ayurvedic and Eastern principles.

The first product that I sampled was the Green Envee Organics Sri Lankan Lemongrass Body Scrub, made with cane sugar. The scrub cleanses and moisturizes at the same time; the sugar cane leaves skin baby soft and the jojoba and safflower oils moisturize while providing a high antioxidant boost. The Lemongrass scent gives this scrub an aromatherapy boost since this essential oil is known in India’s Ayurvedic medical tradition as an anti-depressant. I know it always puts a smile on  my face when I use a product that contains this citrusy scent!

The body scrub is hydrating enough where you won’t need any lotion after your shower. Plus it’s always good to exfoliate before you shave your legs for a close shave without any nasty razor nicks.

The next product that I tried was the Wood Element Purifying Cream Cleanser. This homeopathic cleanser is formulated according to the Five Elements theory related to Traditional Chinese Medicine. I fall into the “Wood element” category since I have oily skin. It’s made from an organic lime base with lots of essential oils. It feels creamy but not oily on the skin. After I rinsed my face clean I noticed that this cleanser did a great job of removing the excess oil; it felt balanced and not tight. I could probably do without a moisturizer but I didn’t chance it!

Overall I loved both products from Green Envee Organics but I’d have to say that the cleanser was by far my favorite out of the two. It falls in my top 5 facial beauty products (and I’ve tried a lot). The cleanser is very balancing and gentle for my temperamental skin. It cleanses well and left my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Have you tried any products from Green Envee Organics?

Me Bath: Ice Cream, Bath Dream!

February 17, 2010

Okay…I will be the first to admit that I am a bit superficial, I like pretty things. Well not just pretty things but nicely packaged, quality pretty things. For me packaging is as important as the product. The packaging shows me that the company really cares about the product and it’s image. So when I saw this oh so cutely packaged body scrub in an ice cream tub my heart leapt. Yes my heart literally skipped a beat and I thought wow this is so cute! I am a fan of body scrubs (well almost every beauty product) but I am partial to bath products. For me bath time is a ritual where I get to wash a way all of the “bad” that happened during the day. Bath time is when I get a moment to myself, no spouse, no whining kiddies, no ringing phone just me and the sound of the water. Maybe it’s the Pisces in me or maybe I just love a nice bath but either way it’s part of my ME time.

Your ultimate spa at-home experienceME! Bath Lavendar Lullaby

So here comes the good part… ME! bath has created a delectable line of at home spa quality exfoliating sugar scrubs. The one above is called Lavender Lullaby and it’s infused with Lavendar, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E Oil. My skin felt silky smooth after my shower and a light fragrant scent of lavender lingered behind. I love how these scrubs come in 16 oz tubs just like your favorite cool confection. This line also comes in: Choco-holic, Gotta Have It Pomegranate, Hawaiian Lei, Land of Milk n Honey, Papaya Nectar, Strawberry Kiwi, Summer Rain and Vanilla Purity.

Mmmm doesn’t this look good enough to eat! I cannot wait to scoop up a few more of these luxuries to experiment with and find out which one I love the best. If you sign up for the ME! Bath newsletter you will save 15% off your online order. A shower sherbet like the one pictured above will cost you $28 per 16oz tub. ME! Bath also carries several other lines to help you make bath time even more fun, seriously who can resist these ice cream inspired treats! I love this sweet scent and I enjoy how it helps me wind down at the end of the day. What’s your favorite way to relax at the end of the day?
