After Sun Care

As the summer days get hotter and we soak up the sun rays I know what helps to relieve the skin. Also, after  coming from the pool or beach it is necessary to cleanse and get rid of the chemicals that are residing on the skin. This ritual is perfect for cooling the skin whether or not you have a sunburn. It is amazing how being in the sun all day can naturally raise the bodies temperature which is why staying hydrated is very important in the summer.


Not only is Nozema good for the face but the whole body as well.


The first step is to run bath water than pour a generous amount( 1/2 cup to 1 cup) of the Village Company therapy aches and pains relief Bath Mineral Soak. 

Than the next step is to rub the noxema on your face and allover legs, arms, abs, back and just massage in to cleanse. If you have a 12 oz. jar you can apply as much as needed because the amount is a lot to work with and lasts for at least two months. You just let it sit for awhile and rinse off and the bath water than may look like it contains a babies spit up after drinking milk.

Great for the skin on the face as well as all over the body

You will be able to feel the difference of your skin and notice that it is smooth and naturally moist. Following these steps may also be the key to dealing with ingrown hairs or preventing them because this cleansing really gets the excess oil out of the follicles. Using soap or what you normally cleanse with is optional but I did not add anything else to my skin and I feel very clean and clear. After the skin will feel cool and softer. I am happy I tried this new approach and made me think that I should have been doing this all along and is something I will continue to do.

Milk and Honey

I have been completely nourished well at least my epidermis has and if you want that same effect than Dr. Teal "New", yes New Milk Bath with Milk and Honey is amazing. The ingredients contained in the Milk Bath are Milk Protein from Goat Milk, Titanium Dioxide(here you can find the usage for ingredients in cosmetics), Sodium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Sesquicarbonate and fragrance (Parfum).

After, looking at the ingredients and just to sum up the product for what it really is, a bath salt treatment with milk protein from Goat Milk that has the scent/parfum of honey, and not the actual honey from bees. Also, to forewarn those lactose intolerant this can cause allergic reactions which allows me to bring up the added benefits of drinking goat's milk compared to cow's milk. To top of my skin I put on Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion.

In honor of National Poetry Month here are the lyrics to Goapele's song "Milk and Honey" from her fourth studio album. Of course this is open to be interpreted to mean anything you want it to. Be in love with yourself and your skin, enjoy Milk & Honey because it's all love. Indulge your skin and soul in complete moisture and nourishment because it is only right.

                                                               If we had a place to go

if we had somewhere to be

ooh i can feel your heartbeat

and the feelings coming over me

just lay back, relax, let me blow your mind

from the ocean so deep

on the shores i'll hope we'll meet
