Clarifying Face Lotion

Made a 2L batch yesterday. This is becoming a really popular product as people are discovering how it really does help clear up problem skin.
People with oily skin are quite blessed, really. But most won't appreciate it until they're older when they have less wrinkles than their friends. In the mean time, coping with pimples and greasiness can be a nightmare.

Clarifying Face Lotion contains Sebum-Reg, a product derived from sesame oil which has been proven in clinical trials to reduce the production of sebum (oil) by up to 46%.

So many of my customers have tried many different products over the years, all costing the earth. Many have been disappointed in the results. Products such as Pro-Activ may produce results, but at what cost? Excessive dryness and flaking, red rashes and irritation? Not to mention the ongoing expense! Plus, the ingredients are far from natural.

I much prefer to use natural, plant based ingredients such as black willow bark extract; a natural beta hydroxy acid which gently cleanses pores from the inside out. Tea Tree oil is a natural antiseptic and anti-fungal and is incorporated into the lotion along with a blend of other essential oils.

This product has been a hit with teenagers and adults alike, especially when used in conjunction with Clarifying Toner and Clarifying Cleanser and Face Polish.

As with all my products, the 100% Money Back Guarantee means you can try Clarifying Face Lotion for 14 days and if you're not happy with it, I'll return the full cost of the product.

Hand & Nail Cream

I must get a new photo. I have lovely new labels now which look so much nicer!

Skinflint Hand & Nail Cream is made with skin softening urea and moisture retaining sodium lactate. The plant oils used are sweet almond and rice bran, two of my favourites.

I also use shea butter in this cream for its wonderful moisturising properties. Shea butter contains a range of beneficial ingredients, chiefly among them are Phytonutrients, Vitamin E and Vitamin A. Phytonutrients which are good for cell regeneration and wound healing. They are anti-inflammatory and have an SPF factor of about 3-4.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and also good for micro circulation. Vitamin A repairs skin and works on the germinal layer of the skin. I also include 0.5% Vitamin E in this cream. (Most skin care companies use less than 0.1%.)

Another ingredient added to Skinflint Hand & Nail is d-panthenol, or Vitamin B3. This vitamin actually penetrates the skin and the top layer of nails. It actually binds water in the outer skin layers, giving a plump, soft appearance to the skin.

Finally, oat protein is used for its humectant properties. This means that it helps the skin retain it's water, similar to the way that d-panthenol does.  It is also conditioning and film forming, so adds that extra protection needed in a hand cream.

Scented with luscious Frangipani, Skinflint Hand & Nail Cream is a bargain basement price at only $10 for 125g. Also available is the large pump bottle with 250g for only $16.50.
