Great question! So, what do the women who formulate skincare products for a living rely on for gorgeous skin? I started formulating skincare some years back when I couldn't find a strong enough cream that was natural. I wanted a day cream that also worked for my skin type- sensitive! I love natural, but there are some phytonutrients that are more powerful and give better results than others. I like the ones with the highest GLA's. I had researched for many years before I came to the best regimen and formula for skin care that gives that synergistic potent balancing blend. Here are a few skin secrets I use before I leave the house. No matter how demanding my schedule...
Do you use sunblock on more than you face? What about your sidearm closest to the driver's side window of your car? Or how about driving in your car with your face exposed to the side windows while the UV rays blast through? Next time you drive, take notice of where the light cascades and start applying sunblock to those areas so you can avoid skin cancer, premature wrinkles, and brown age spots. We are all exposed to extra UV rays on our daily drives to and from work, the grocery store, school, the gym etc. I started noticing a few sun spots on my chest and when I looked into the view mirror I noticed the sun hitting my chest!...
There's nothing better to me than getting a personal email from one of our satisfied and loyal customers. Hearing people's success with their skin confidence never gets old to me, and I always enjoy bringing people's confidence alive through naturally made skincare, soaps, face creams, herbal products, balms, and more. Thank you for making Me and a Tree Artisan Skincare your natural choice! I formulate many products for the skin but believe it or not; the most difficult of all is the formulation of our soaps. Soap has to have that precise balance of cleansing without over-cleansing while also delivering a soft moisturizing feel without being too oily and slick. A high-quality bar of good soap has a nice natural creamy...
Eco-friendly packaging and products are important. Here at Me and a Tree, we do everything in our power to make sure we are not harming animals and the environment. This is why we choose natural plant-based materials in our ingredients; however, eco-friendly packaging is important as well. One way we help is by selecting biodegradable packaging peanuts for all of our online orders. You wouldn't want your purchased goodies to break, spill, or leak out during shipping! This is why we choose biodegradable packing peanuts in addition to recycled paper to help protect items while making sure the materials chosen also easily break down in an eco-friendly way. Biodegradable packing peanuts are made from natural, nontoxic sources, such as rice, grain & corn starch. They dissolve in water and...
When I was in South Florida I enjoyed taking a nice walk in the evening. After the heavy rains, the puddles were finally drying up, and I was anxious to get outdoors and go for a nice evening run. I was attacked by mosquitoes, unfortunately. I also acquired a few itchy spots after my jog around the lush green freshly watered neighborhood. Here's what happened... I didn't realize that mosquitoes found their way under my shirt (and possibly bit through my running clothes) and bit my sides and legs (oh joy!). I usually don't get bitten by them (my husband does!), and when I do, I don't usually get much of a reaction. This time was a little bit different. I realize that I was likely swarmed by...
