The Bath Salt is made from the Barr-Co natural scent. After using this my skin was so soft and I felt so relaxed. I have dry sensitive skin and after using this a couple of times a week my skin is more moist and I don't have any more dry patches.

ReplyDeleteThanks and Hugs, Vanessa
That will be perfect Vanessa! Thank you so much for allowing me to review your products. Let me know when you are ready for the give away!!
ReplyDeleteLorri
I ordered the Shea lotion and it came today in a beautiful glass bottle. The fragrance is very pleasing. The lotion did help with the pain I was having and soothed my skin right away. I am definitely going to reorder and try her other products as well. They are worth the little extra you pay!
DeleteLet's talk about products to relieve stress...and while we're at it; tell us about smoothing dark circles under the eyes. Wrinkle prevention too.
ReplyDeleteI just replied under the general feed.
DeleteI am happy to give feedback on what I believe is the best stress relief depending on your situation. Since I have been in the Spa Industry for over 20 years I can give you my best advise on what product lines to trust that will really give you results for dark circles and wrinkles. We can discuss here if Lorri is ok with that???
ReplyDeletethat would be just fine with me!!
ReplyDeleteThe lotion is wonderful. It brings quick relief and even helped comfort my pain. The fragrance is nice to. You really need to try it. The cucumber continues to give you a cooling effect which is nice.
ReplyDeleteSooo very sorry for the delay in responding ladies. I have an 8 month old at home that is keeping me busy. Caroline, I am so glad that you liked the lotion. After 20 years in the Spa Industry I will tell you this product is one of the finest "all natural" ones I have run across. It is not a blown out aromatherapy line, but just clean and earthy. I really am drawn to the thick heavy bottles and the vintage classical look and feel.
ReplyDeleteOk let me provide some insider secrets!!!! I believe someone asked to learn more about RELAXATION. The physical relaxation is as one would imagine...body therapies, massage, meditation, yoga, etc. What I can provide for you is the best form of relaxation at home.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience the most exquisite in home "treatment" is called Phyto-Bain. Yon-Ka is the product line this dream product is from. When I look for a Spa to experience I always look for one that provides treatments using Yon-Ka.
In order to save time I am going to cut and paste some information about this product directly from their site for your information.
Phyto-Bain
The YON-KA Signature revitalizing and relaxing bath.
A genuine spa effect at home with this highly concentrated aromatic bath treatment with plant extracts and essential oils known for their multiple therapeutic virtues.
Invigorates, restores full vitality, relieves tired legs and gives the whole body a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

I can honestly say that this line covers most all concerns in my book without being harsh on the skin. Sometimes with anti-aging products, especially if you have sensitive skin like I do it is hard to find a solution. You can not always treat one without inflaming the other. I tend to lean more towards the "purest" way to a solution rather than use products that may cause irritation, or even severe redness and recovery time. I don't like to be uncomfortable....ever!!! I myself will be 44 next week and again will always treat my skin as effectively as I can; however I will not choose a product that is too harsh for my sensitive/anti-aging concerns.
ReplyDeleteDARK CIRCLES (Just to be clear, this is a spot treatment meant to be used in addition to a full skin care regime)
What is a SKIN CARE REGIME???? I will discuss that below.

Ok, let's have a lesson on what really taking care of your skin requires.
ReplyDeleteA skin care regime: Daily ritualistic use of each product in order to achieve success.
Did you know....
When you wash your face with anything other than a pure facial cleanser you are stripping years off your skin slowly but surely. If you must skip this step PLEASE at least use DOVE SENSITIVE SKIN soap. Soap is the enemy of good skin, PERIOD.
When you cleans your face/remove your make-up you also remove and unbalance your skin's natural PH. This is why TONER (In the Spa world it is sometimes referred to as LOTION if the product is French; which Yon-KA is) is so essential. Why use toner???? It is what restores the PH balance back to your skin that the cleansers and harsh water has just removed.
So....
Step 1. Cleans
Step 2. Tone
Step 3. Serum
Step 4. Day/Night Cream
Weekly (Once) Exfoliate
Bi-Weekly (Once) Mask
Step 3 is critical in order for Step 4 to work. Most people have NO IDEA that without a SERUM your day/night cream is almost 50% less effective that it can be. Serum is designed to prep the skin for absorption and penetration of the healing benefits of your day/night cream. If you have been one of those ladies that has never used a serum prior to applying your cream then you have been short changing yourself. Serums and creams are meant to compliment one another. That is why this next product is what I recommend for you ladies that have anit-aging concerns, but also battle with sensitive skin like myself.

Lastly, if you want something more intense without using a laser resurfacing treatment for anti-aging I would visit the Cellex-C web site to learn more.
