Happy Bargain Shopping!

Unlike most organic skincare lines which use a water base, all Juice Beauty products are made with a 100% certified organic juice base. This organic juice base is up to 50% higher in antioxidants and nutrients than non-organic juice also and surpasses the benefits of a water base by more than a mile. Juice Beauty products not only contain powerful antioxidants, but also offer age-defying ingredients such as polyphenols, hydroxy acids, DMAE, alpha-lipoic acid and coenzyme Q10. In addition, Juice Beauty products helps to create beautiful and glowing skin with exceptional ingredients like vital phytonutrients, Vitamin C and essential fatty acids and vitamins.

For the past two weeks, I have been using the Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel and Juice Beauty Green Apple Antioxidant Moisturizer. So far, I love them both! The texture of the cleanser is fantastic. It is a gel base, but doesn’t get foamy. Even so, my skin is left with a nice and fresh feel after cleansing, minus the tightness. The moisturizer is perfectly light and gives my skin just the right amount of moisture and hydration. Overall, my skin feels soft and smooth and has a much brighter complexion. I definitely plan on using the Juice Beauty products throughout the summer. I eventually want to also purchase the Juice Beauty Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream and Juice Beauty Green Apple Hydration Mask. I look forward to using the entire Juice Beauty Green Apple line and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, with any purchase of $75 or more of Juice Beauty products, skinstore.com will send you a free travel size of the Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer!

Jessica also created a magnificent line of essential oil blends that can be used directly on the skin, diluted in bath water or massage oil or diffused with a wall diffuser to create a pleasant aroma throughout the home.

Among my absolute favorites from California Baby are the California Baby Calendula Cream and California Baby Soothing & Healing Mist for Face and Body. These products are miracle workers for both my son’s and my own battle with eczema. As well, I cannot live without the California Baby offspring Overtired & Cranky MOMMY & DADDY Oil Aromatherapy,which works wonders in helping to calm and soothe the whole family after a long and tiring day. California Baby has a unique line of products that are specially formulated for colds and flu. The California Baby Colds & Flu Aromatherapy Bubble Bath, Colds & Flu Massage Oil, and essential oil blend all work together to lower temperatures, relieve muscle aches, loosen mucus and ease congestion. This is extremely helpful when you have a young infant who has caught a cold or the flu and cannot be treated with medicine.

California Baby has a variety of gifts and totes that are great as “baby shower” or “welcoming baby” gifts. Any parent would be grateful to receive such a thoughtful gift that shows how much you care. Even better, California Baby is reasonably priced and conveniently sold at your local Target store, which makes it very easy to keep your shelves stocked with this terrific skin care line at all times.
