Love the skin your in! I love that line on so many levels. It's important to be comfortable with who you are and stand strong in your very own unique spirit, personality and beauty. When it comes to that last part, the beauty, it's ever-more important to be conscious and aware of all that you are putting in and ON your skin. When it comes to the foods you choose, make them simple, organic and as close to their natural form as possible.
The same can be said about the stuff you choose to put ON your skin. Here are a few of my favorite picks from Etsy.com created by the hands of unique artisans who take the time to handcraft their goods and choose only the ingredients that add to and don't detract from your very own natural beauty.
Pick #1 - Zhulen's Seaweed Rosemary Mineral Mask (Featured Above)
About The Artisan - :
Two sisters with a real interest in a healthier lifestyle. Over the years, we made changes to our diet and the resources/products we consume, which lead us to the practice of reading labels. What we came across, was an over-abundance of cheap and toxic materials that are massively produced and sold to the general public, passing off as "good for you". After much education and persistence, we began producing our cleansers and toners, then we moved on to moisturizers and now we added masks and a serum to the mix. From the great feedback we received, we decided to launch and see what happens. Thank you for visiting and we hope you like our products as much as we do!
About The Mask
This fantastic mask uses dead sea mineral mud to clean, refresh, and hydrate the skin. The dead sea holds over a 30% concentration of minerals compared to other seas and is known to be the most saline body of water. This element exfoliates and removes toxins, tightens pores, and improves skin circulation and regeneration. Seaweed extract is a rich source of vitamins including vitamins B12 (not found in land plants), vitamin E, amino acids, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients. It helps stimulate circulation and gives skin a healthy appearance by soothing ailments such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. For all skin types.
Pick #2 - Spa Goddess' Ambrosia Facial Cleanser - Preservative-Free and Organic

Pick #3 - Naturallogic's Mayan Cafe Sugar Polish
About The Artisan:
Having a background in nutrition & holistic health gives me an interesting perspective on body, hair & skin care. Anything less than optimal health in these areas manifests outwardly in the form of symptoms, such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dry/flaky skin. If you have a skin concern and would like a custom product or nutritional consulting to correct the issue instead of just treating the symptoms, don't hesitate to convo me :)
TRULY NATURAL
All NATURALLOGIC organic natural skin care, body care, hair care & spa rituals are handmade from start to finish, using carefully selected, organic, sustainable, fairly traded, whole food grade ingredients, much of which is sourced locally, or from our own organic garden. Each small, quality controlled batch is thoughtfully formulated and lovingly manifested from original, skin nutritious recipes.
About The Sugar Polish
Mayan Cafe Sugar Polish is 100% Natural and 92% Organic.
This lavish, chocolaty emulsion becomes a creamy, buttery polish with the help of a little motion and some H2O. The scrub glides over the body smoothing away dead, dry skin, debris & impurities while leaving the skin supple & moisturized. You won't even need to moisturize! And with it's no-drip consistency, it's safe to use without slipping AND you won't have messy tub clean-up:)

A note to Reena ~ feel free to ask away. If I don't something that will help you reach your skin goals, I can certainly refer you to at least a few other amazing, consistent and reliable small companies. I also have sample sizes available if you would like to try a product before committing to full size.
Hope that helps:)
