Bring the richness of Dead Sea properties to your skin with Pacha's Dead Sea Mud Whipped Soap and Scrub

PACHA SOAP'S DEAD SEA MUD WHIPPED SOAP + EXTRA SCRUB

My thoughts: I have used several of the Pacha Bar Soaps and the Lavender Vanilla Whipped Soap Scrub; and everytime I have been so pleased with the feel of these products on my skin, the lathering capabilities, the scent. Knowing that the Pacha brand is supporting clean health initiatives and "green" products simply adds an extra special dimension of goodness to these products.

I am currently using the Dead Sea Mud Whipped Soap and Extra Scrub. While it contains various oils, it does not leave my skin feeling as though it has been rubbed down with oils (you know, that "greasy" feel some products leave on your skin). 

The lathering properties are lovely. The pumice exfoilation is light-grained and effective. My skin feels softened, lightly scented, and clean.

The "flip lid" is great for shower or bath enabling one-hand opening. I am totally enjoying this lovely product.

Product information: Deeply exfoliate and cleanse skin with our Dead Sea Mud Whipped Soap + Extra Scrub. Crafted with natural exfoliants and balancing Dead Sea clay for an intensely rejuvenating scrub.

Great for use in the shower as a body wash or foot scrub. Make Whipped Soap + Scrub a part of your everyday bath routine!

Best selling & influencer fave
foaming cleanser by Nature’s Paradise

Product information (from Good Earth Beauty vendor)  

Foaming Cleanser is enriched with Organic Coconut Oil soap which cleans deep within the pores eliminating bacteria and build up. Yet, is a non irritating formula free of chemicals making it gentle to the skin which is important to limit future breakouts. In keeping acne and blemishes away, you must be gentle to the skin. Irritating the skin will cause more breakouts.  7 ounce bottle. Made by Natures Paradise Organics -  Price: $29.00

A light foamy cleanser and one "pump" 
is definitely enough to do the job!

I have been using this cleanser for several months on a nightly basis. It is absolutely wonderful. It cleans. It softens. It leaves my face feeling fresh.

The cleanser is a silky feeling foam that you dispense into the palm of your hand. Then you slather it all over your face and neck with gently rotating motions to loosen all the grime and makeup and environmental pollutants that you've encountered that day. I rinse by splashing water over my face and then take a nice warm, wet washcloth and get the last bits of residue swiped away.

So lovely feeling and so clean and fresh.

The Wonder Seed company's Hemp Seed Oil Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner [Review & Giveaway & Discount Code]

Now before anyone says, "Oh! I can't believe Ms. Vera is promoting or using hemp products!" take a moment to read the actual facts and legitimacy of hemp oil production, use in cosmetics and other products, and its effect on folks.

It is declared safe and legal for consumers. It is not the addictive Cannabis that is associated with Marijuana. I think of using products with hemp seed oil as simply another type of essential oil based product. Use of a variety of essential oils in skin care, nutritional, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and soaps is well accepted. You can find information that clarifies the differences between the hemp and marijuana plants. Some generalized information is available at CBD Origin: Hemp vs Marijuana but there are other sources of information as well.

The great folks at Good Earth Beauty carry some of The Wonder Seed products in their great online store of natural, organic, and vegan products. I had the opportunity to use the Green Tea Hemp Shampoo and Conditioner products. While my daughter was visiting from Georgia, she, too, used them.

Our take? ..... Fabulous!

My daughter’s comments: 

The hemp shampoo and conditioner smoothed frizzy ends without leaving hair flat and lifeless. My color treated hair responded better to heat after using the shampoo and conditioner.

The Wonder Seed Hemp Shampoo and Conditioner products left my hair silky and shiny and didn't  compete with other fragrances.  A plus - these products didn't over-condition my fine hair. 

Even unruly hair of
ladies-of-a-certain-age
can be soft and shiny

My thoughts on the Wonder Seed Green Tea Hemp Shampoo and Conditioner:  

This shampoo is a slightly thin, clear liquid shampoo so you need to be careful not to pour too much out (don't be wasteful). It lathers beautifully! Depending on how dirty or oily your hair is, you lather once or twice and this is also dependent on how frequently you wash your hair. It left my hair feeling very clean.

I rinsed thoroughly and then followed through with the Wonder Seed: Hemp Conditioner - Green Tea. The conditioner is thicker and an opaque white. You only need to use a small amount.

After washing, conditioning, and blow drying my hair I was amazed at the hair's silky softness.

I then proceeded to add the products I normally use to style my hair. The hair is soft, shinny, and really feels good. No sense of a fragrance at all to conflict with other fragrances I might select for the day.

I will need to use this product longer to be able to confirm it's nutritional or healing properties for scalp. Being a natural products, I look forward to using it regularly.

Both these products are.....

• All Natural Formula - optimal blend of Virgin Organic Hemp Seed Oil
• No parabens, sulfates, gluten, artificial colors or fragrance
• Green Tea essential oil scent
• 100% vegan & cruelty free

Your lips really take a "licking" during those cold, blustery Winter Days. Here's a remedy! [Review & Giveaway]

Cold, wintry weather equals dry cracked lips. Blustery weather equals peeling lips. Ski trips. Building snowmen. Walks or working out-of-doors. All are sure-fire formulas requiring a good lip care product.

Enter the scene....... Lip Scrubs

I love the lip balms from Good Earth Beauty and these Good Earth Beauty Exclusives Lip Scrubs are a totally new experience for me. Treating my peeling, cracking lips has become a "dessert experience" for me.

These little jars of delight are actually delightful treatments for the skin of your lips.

Click here to find the "flavor" you like most

You take a smidgen on your fingertip and gently massage it all over the lip surface. The essential oils do a fabulous job of lubricating, softening, and caring for the skin. The sugar provides a gentle exfoliation and technique to allow the oils better access to the deeper layers of skin.

And to top it all off, it tastes wonderful.

These have been around awhile and I've seen them in various markets, but never tried them until just recently. I can say "I'm sold" on these products.
