Fun Summer Fruit Facial Recipes

Here are some fun summer fruit facials that you can make at home with under 5 ingredients. They will leave your skin looking smooth and radiant.

Fresh Strawberry Facial:

Strawberries make an excellent skin softening facial mask. Strawberries contain salicylic acid, which rids the skin of dead cells, allowing it to absorb moisture more efficiently, as well as help heal blemishes.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup fresh strawberries

1 tablespoon milk or plain yogurt

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Blend all the ingredients in the food processor to make a smooth paste. Spread mask over your face and neck and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat skin dry. You can refrigerate any leftover mask. Will last up to a week.

Papaya Facial:

The papaya's natural fruit acids and enzymes will remove dead skin cells which will leave your skin looking younger and smoother. Papaya contains a natural enzyme called papain. The greener the papaya the higher the enzyme content.

Caution: Do not leave mask on your face for more than 5 minutes and rinse well because if left on to long it can become drying.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons mashed papaya

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

Mix ingredients together and apply to face and neck. Let sit for 5 minutes and rinse with cool water and moisturize well.

The Benefits of Soy Candles

We have just added soy candles to our product line. I really like the way they turned out. I think customers are going to go crazy for them.

Our candles are made from 100% soy. They come in an adorable apothacary jar.

There are many benefits to burning soy candles as opposed to parafin based candles. Soy candles are made from natural oils from soybean plants so they burn cleaner and emit significantly less soot. That means more enjoyment and healthier air quality for you and your family.
One major distinction between waxes is where they were derived (what they are made of). Traditionally, candle waxes have mostly been paraffin based. Soy based waxes have grown in popularity in recent years due to their improvements in quality, as compared to earlier soy waxes. Many customers also prefer using a natural product which is produced by American farmers.
