Cold Weather Skin Saver Ideas from Desert Essence Organics

Has the cold, dry weather of winter got you down? Here are some great ways to CHEAPLY save your skin from Desert Essence Organics. I am really loving their products this year. They have grown up a lot since I used to see they at my local health food store when I was a kid. Their products always smell amazing and actually work. Not to mention they use organic and sustainable ingredients.

JoJoba Oil | $ 7.65 (2 fl. oz.) You can use this all purpose oil to remove makeup and even as a cleansing oil for clogged pores. It is great for softening your hands and feet after a hot shower. It also can be used to moisturize a dry scalp to prevent flakes and dandruff . You can use it as a leave in hair treatment while in the sun or as an aftershave moisturizer on your legs. It has a nice smell, very natural and yet not too strong.

Italian Red Grape Body Wash | $8.99 This body was is enriched with natural, botanical ingredients like organic grapes , resveratrol and red wine extract. This proprietary blend of ingredients is extracted from red grapes native to Italy and it provides high percentage of natural antioxidants. They help improve oil balance of the skin and gently exfoliate to reveal the next layer of fresher, younger skin. It smells fresh, clean, and uniquely grape-y!

Vanilla Chai Body Hand and Body Lotion | $8.99 This lotion contains organic black and green teas which are rich antioxidants and polyphenols to protect and repair the skin. The organic vanilla extract is from orchids that are indigenous to Mexico. The warm, rich scent is supposed to provide a calming sensation. The organic sunflower oil helps repair damage done by environmental stressors with lots of Vitamin E. I’m not a huge fan of vanilla smelling things, but I know many people that love it. To each their own.

Tinted Lip Balm | $5.99 This balm hydrates and restores texture for smooth, healthy lips and add a sheer touch of color and gloss. They contain both jojoba oil and sunflower oil protect and offer long lasting moisture while vitamin E shields skin cells from UV rays, pollution, and other environmental damage.  And the grape seed extract and shea butter strengthen and soothe rough, chapped and dry skin. I got to try the Red Raspberry one and the flavor was nice, very subtle, with only a hint of color.
