Natural Vegan Skincare and a Giveaway

Recently my childhood friend Kelly told me about a line of natural vegan skin care, health, and anti aging products that she's absolutely fallen in love with : Arbonne. Kelly has always been extremely health conscious in terms of what she puts into her body and getting enough exercise, but only after learning about Arbonne did she realize how important it is to be using natural products on the outside of her body too!

Kelly first started using Arbonne for her baby who had eczema that wouldn't go away using regular methods. The Arbonne baby line cleared up her eczema within just a few days and this is what got Kelly even more interested in trying the other products. She told me that she feels good about using the products for her family, knowing that the company uses the purest of science and the purest ingredients.

What does "pure" mean these days anyway?

Arbonne's products are formulated without:

-animal products (and byproducts)
- parabens
- formaldehyde donating preservatives
- Benzene, mineral oil, petrolatum, phthalates, Tolene (all petroleum based ingredients)
- PABA

Their nutritional products are all gluten free and contain NO GMO ingredients. They are also made without:

- artificial colors
- artificial flavors
- artificial sweeteners
- animal products
- cholesterol
- trans fats

She began using a lot of the Arbonne products and experienced such great results that she's been hooked and telling all her friends about it. She gave me some product samples to try along with info to learn more about the company and I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the daytime and night time creams, facial cleanser, toner, and corrective eye cream, body cream, serum, and body wash. The creams are very luscious and felt nourishing on my skin. Hydrating is a good word to describe them. I like natural creams that have substance to them if you know what I mean - not those ones that feel like mostly water and leave my skin feeling dry in a matter of hours. My daily beauty regime is quite simple. I wash my face and usually use coconut oil as a moisturizer on my face so using all these products seemed to take too much time. If you prefer a very simple routine like me, you might only want the moisturizer and facial cleanser.

Here are just some of the products from the baby line that she uses for her daughter!

Here's what else Kelly said "I believe in the company for its strong philosophy, research based formulation and green promise.  I love how little of each product is needed to make a noticeable difference.  I also love how diverse the product line is. "

You can check out their online catalogue HERE and have a look and their products for yourself. I think there's something for everyone. There are so many more products to choose from in addition to the skin care line. The baby line, make ups, spa treatments, perfumes, a line for men, and nutritional supplements as well.

If you're still wondering what's so special about these products, just check out the list of special antiaging/ healthful ingredients that are used and for what purpose. Exotic roots, herbs, extracts - many of which I'd never heard of before. Check the Botanical Glossary HERE.

The company is "green" conscious and global. It's available in Canada, USA, Australia, and UK. You can order online but when you order through a representative you have access to great discounts. If you're interested in ordering or you want samples, email Kelly: ktoffner @ hotmail.com . I think the samples are a great way to see what products work best for you before ordering.

Kelly is generously offering a FREE sea salt scrub to one of my lovely readers. She loves this and uses it regularly in the shower. Let's face it, we can all benefit from some exfoliation.
