You know how your skin is beginning to look a little haggard after so much sun exposure?

Well we have a group of wonderful, yet inexpensive new products at our Cosmetic Counter that can whip your skin right back into shape!

These products are like having a relaxing spa treatment without actually going to the spa. In other words; a spa treatment in the seclusion of your own home and each item is like the price of a cup of coffee and a pastry.

The Anayansi Skin Care Collection, Inc., a division of the BellaHoney Body Care Company says their products are naturally-focused and made with the finest butters, bath salts, olive oil soaps, and organic soaps combined into products that pamper the body and soothe the soul. Utilizing natural and pure ingredients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, macadamia nut oil, and organic avocado oil.
We have a sampling of the their most popular products on our site, which really are the essentials of what we would need this season.

One of their more popular products is the Dead Sea Mineral Mud Masque. Made with mud from the dead sea it has a high salt and mineral content, all of which are essential for the body. Dead sea mud infuses the skin with minerals leaving it clean, refreshed and hydrated.

The Dead sea mud has the dual purpose of exfoliating as well as being as a natural cleanser. It not only remove toxins and impurities from the skin, but also tightens and tones the skin, improves blood circulation, hydrates the skin and aids in skin regeneration.

Dead Sea Mud is World renowned as a source of non-soluble clays,
carbonates, sulfides, and organic compounds. It is also extremely
rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium. Often use as a face or
body mask, by applying and leaving on skin to dry, then rinsing off and moisturizing to complete this refreshing feeling.

BellaHoney Body Care Company has added nothing to this product because they feel that dilution of the Mud reduces therapeutic effects. This product is just what your skin needs after spending time in the hot sun. The Dead Sea Mineral Mud Masque is $10.00

Also in their facial treatment lineup is the Seaweed Purifying Facial Masque. This nutrient rich Seaweed Mask detoxes facial pores, purges toxins, leaves your complexion fresh and pure while seaweeds nourish your skin with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Potent Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C repair damaged skin, restores elasticity, and strengthens cellular structure and all for only $10.00



Do you remember me writing about body scrubs several weeks ago, and even giving directions on how to make your own sugar scrub? Did anyone try it? Well, I did. I'm not sure what ingredient I missed, but the scrub I made did not smell like the one purchased at the spa. It felt okay, but to take a shower and come out smelling like olive oil? I guess the scented oil was a lot more important than I realized if I didn't want to end up smelling like a dinner salad.

Of course there's another way to get the spa sugar scrub without having to make a batch or break the bank to buy it. Remember the sugar scrub bottle I had would have cost me more than $35.00 to replace? Well, you can buy the Sugar Scrub below for only: $8.00. You're still going to smell like a food item, but this time it's Coconut!! My favorite!
Brown Sugar Body Exfoliant, exfoliates and clean the skin by removing dull, dead skin cells to reveal a younger skin layer. These scrubs thoroughly cleanse pores allowing the skin to breathe easier, stimulate blood circulation and remove daily toxins from the skin. Exfoliation helps future skin regeneration which keeps the skin looking younger while strengthening and firming skin tissues.
Ingredients: Fine Grain Brown Sugar, Sunflower Oil, Shea Butter, Rice Bran Oil, Jojoba-Golden Oil.
Scent: Coconut

And finally, The Anayansi Skin Care Collection, Inc. is showcasing their best selling soap: Summer Citrus Olive Oil Soap. $6.00
All of their soaps are handmade using a cold-process method, where nutrient-rich oils are blended with distilled water and sodium hydroxide, poured into molds, cut, and then allowed to cure for a minimum of three weeks. The natural result of this method is a soap that is very high in glycerin, a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin.

Ingredients: Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Water, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil. For external use only.

Scent: Orange, Lime, and Lemon. 5oz

So here's the bottom line: If you were to purchase each of the items listed above it would cost $34.00 (Less than the price of one sugar scrub from the spa) and since you don't really need to buy two masques right now, it would only be $24.00 for 3 products. Considering the cost of like products from spas or other outlets and what the alternative is if you don't properly take care of your skin, I think $24.00 is a bargain.

I will leave you with one example of what customer's are saying about the products:
wow! what a wonderful product. this really makes your skin feel wonderful

Our July Customer Appreciation Sale is certainly being well received, which is such a delight for us. Not only are we able to sell some merchandise, which helps to make room to put more items on the site, but we're also helping our customers buy what they need without having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping. That sounds like a win-win to me!
