But it wasn’t until I had kids that I really started looking at things we do to our skin. What we put on it. Or don’t put on it. I was so worried about the products I was using on my babies’ skin and keeping their skin protected but I had forgotten that my skin is just as important.
So, I started down the path of finding better ways to take care of my own skin, in addition to my kids.
Now, I’ll tell you right here and now, while I admire the idea of doing away with “unnecessary” skin products and making my own “necessary” skin products, it’s just not going to happen. No one wants to see the dark circles under this mama’s eyes! So, instead I’m always on the look out for skin products that are working in my favor. Using the most natural ingredients. Wanting the best for my skin.
Sometimes this is easier said than done but sometimes you stumble upon a great company, offering great products, and it just works! That’s what happened with HollyBeth Organics for me.
Ingredients I know
It’s one thing to read a list of ingredients in a product and be able to pronounce them. It’s another thing to actually know what those ingredients are!
The very first thing I did when I received my HollyBeth Organics Orange Peppermint Shea Butter Cream and Rose Geranium Face Moisturizer was to flip the box over and look at the ingredient list. At first glance you’ll probably notice words that you can’t pronounce or don’t know but…wait! Those are just the scientific names of the ingredients! In parentheses, right next to the scientific name, are the common names of the ingredients.
For example, the Orange Peppermint Shea Butter Cream is made up of three simple ingredients — Shea Butter, Chocolate Peppermint Oil, and Orange Oil. That’s it!
The Rose Geranium Face Moisturizer is comprised of a few more ingredients but they are still things you know; like Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba, Rosehip, Rose Geranium oil, and Vitamin E, just to name a few.
Also, HollyBeth Organics don’t just toss the word “organic” around on their products for trendy reasons. They actually are USDA certified organic!
They do the job!
My skin takes a serious beating most days. Especially in the winter. From everyday house chores to taking care of all our animals outside to washing my hands a bazillion times a day because OH MY WORD why is there so many sick-cooties going around during the winter?!?! I find myself reaching for lotion so many times throughout the day. Not to mention how dry my face gets from that bitter winter wind!
I use my HollyBeth Organics moisturizers maybe twice a day (I might reach for my Shea Butter Cream again on those really rough days) and they really keep my hands, feet, face, etc. feeling moisturized all day long. And the scents used in both the Orange Peppermint Shea Butter Cream and the Rose Geranium Face Moisturizer are so soothing and just delightful!
Just a little dab’ll do ya!
Super honest moment here…I’m pretty cheap when it comes to buying products for myself. Ok, “pretty cheap” probably doesn’t accurately describe me. So I can get sticker shock pretty quickly. And that was kind of true when I visited HollyBeth Organics. But then I tried the products…
Because you truly only need to use a dab of these creams on your hands or face or feet or anywhere else, they end up lasting you a long time. The organic elements of these creams work so well with your body that you really don’t need to use much or as often. A jar will last you a pretty long time. Making them very comparable in price to a bottle of lotion or jar of moisturizer you might pick up at the grocery store. And, again, these products are using organic ingredients, so you are giving your skin the very best. And doesn’t your skin deserve the very best?
But if you’re still hesitant about the value you’re getting with HollyBeth Organics, they have an amazing way for you to just give them a try without spending a bunch of money! Many of their products are available in smaller sample sizes for just $10 each. This allows you to really try a few of their products to see what you like. And the sample sizes make for a great way to take along some of your favorite moisturizes in your purse!
After such a long winter (and likely more winter on its way) give your body’s biggest organ a little love with HollyBeth Organics!
Oh, and HollyBeth Organics offers more than just these two moisturizers! They also carry scrubs, body oils, cleansers, lip balms…pretty much anything you’d want to pamper your body! Check them all out at HollyBethOrganics.com.
