CLOSED....Skin Free - Review & Giveaway

Thanks to Skin Free I was able to review the Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin, Niaouli Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin, and Niaouli Butter Stick™.

I must admit that I am nearing 30 years old and I still have the occasionally break out. Sometimes I feel like I am back in high school, so when Skin Free offered to send me the Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin and the Niaouli Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin, I jumped at the chance. I first tried the scrub and I didn't know what to think. The scrub has these fine little sand particles in it to exfoliate your skin (it felt like I was rubbing beach sand all over my face:) and before I dried my face off it almost felt like a waxy film was left behind. Then I dried everything off and it was wonderful. My first initial reaction to the scrub was not great, but after patting my face dry, I couldn't believe the results. My face was so soft and it really felt rejuvenized. I have been using it everyday since; the scrub can be used everyday or weekly.

Now, I am terrible about putting moisture on my face. I always feel like it clogs my pores and does more harm that good. With the Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin, it feels so light on my face and I haven't noticed any blemishes popping up like I have in the past from moisture. It keeps a nice balance on my face-it doesn't get too dry or too oily. The only thing that would make it better is if the moisture had SPF in it. Then I wouldn't have to worry about going out in the sun for everyday things.

I LOVE summer and with summer comes flip flops. I don't think that a day goes by that I don't have flip flops on. But with flip flops come dry, cracked heels. I used the Niaouli Butter Stick™ every night on my feet for 5 days straight and guess what...the cracks are pretty much gone. The stick has a consistency of butter (hence the name) and it goes on thick and creamy. It really is a great tool for summer.

Thanks for the wonderful products Skin Free!!

About Skin Free:

All products distributed by Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio™ are designed and formulated by owner and practicing pharmacist, Julie Hilton, who has over 30 years experience in compounding and natural skin care. “I started the Studio in 2000 when my husband and I moved to the Blue Ridge of Virginia. Our friends were calling us “gypsies”, so the name evolved naturally.”

“Working in a typical retail pharmacy setting, I was constantly frustrated when asked to recommend products for patients with difficult skin problems, especially those with fragrance allergies. I recognized a void in the market and knew that I could offer effective and affordable products to fill it. Atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis are life-long conditions and need to be addressed for the long term. Patients with diabetes or renal disease, pregnant women, babies, the elderly, and patients treated with radiation therapy can all benefit from quality natural products. Even people who just have dry, sensitive skin can appreciate wholesome natural skincare products.”

“Since I personally suffer from chronic allergies and eczema, I understand that it is very important for people with these conditions to maintain the integrity of their skin and reduce their exposure to antigens to help prevent acute outbreaks. These diseases can be quite debilitating and cause increase depression, work loss, and pain."

Naturally occurring vegetable oils and butters contain indigenous nutrients, antioxidants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), and antibacterial agents that petroleum-based oils just don’t have. Natural oils absorb into the skin and do not feel greasy. They also come from replenishable sources, which is a great environmental concern.
