Greenwala & Skin Free Team Up to offer Eco Chic Prizes

Greenwala the new green community on the web invited Skin Free Skincare to sponsor an eco-chic contest. Entrants were asked to submit a photo and essay explaining how they were being eco-chic with their fashion, make-up, skincare, and lifestyle.

After reviewing the entrants, we selected three winners and here they are:

FIRST PLACE: Erin Murphy - "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder"

"This picture is of my two sister in-laws, if you look really close, you will see that I blended two pictures together.The one picture is of their grandfathers backyard with a beautiful over view of his up-to-date pond that he takes care of all summer and fall. I just love going up there all year around because no matter what its always a breath taker, I love to just sit and relax outside and take walks through his back forest. I find this place very eco friendly, with the ducks eating away at the mosquitoes in the summer, requiring no pesticides to be sprayed on his property. I find that this is a good way to reduce toxic fumes in the air..polluting the beautiful trees and plant life he has there. I myself always find a new way to be more eco friendly every time I go up there."

Erin will receive a year's supply of Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap, Skin Free Super Moisture Butter Creme, Skin Free Lite Moisture Face Creme for Daily Use, and Skin Free Sweet & Smooth Sugar Scrub. ($685 approx. value)

SECOND PLACE: Rachel Fray "Living Loving Green"

"I have been an eco-chic since I was a young teen. Now that I am in my young twenties, I have discovered so many new ways of being green in almost every aspect of my life. Fashion & skin care being my latest eco-friendly projects. I never think about throwing out a piece of clothing but re-invent it instead. Many items in my closet have been bought from a second hand store and altered to make something new. I have also started to make my own home-made skin care concoctions using fruits and vegetables. I have even tried making my own hair mask which to say was delicious! :) And yes. When I buy my fruits and veggies, I buy locally. This reduces transmissions produced through travel."

Rachel will receive a year's supply of Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap, Skin Free Lite Moisture Face Creme for Daily Use, Skin Free After Shower Moisture Spritz, and Skin Free Niaouli Butter Stick. ($590 approx. value)

THIRD PLACE: Heidi Wickersham "Couch Scarf and Flapper Hat"

"This cushioned couch scarf and flapper hat are made out of an old oversized men's shirt I had laying around. Not only are they made from re-purposed fabric, but I made them with a vintage sewing machine that is fully manually operated. It uses no electricity, only foot-pumping action! On top of that, I saved this sewing machine from the the streetside where it was getting sold off as scrap metal!"

Heidi will receive 12 Skin Free Skin Care Gift Certificates worth $30 each.

In addition, Skin Free Skincare will donate $500 to Heifer International. Helping Hungry Families Feed Themselves Heifer International does so much more than put food in the mouths of hungry people. Heifer helps people feed themselves. The goal of every Heifer project is sustainability - project partners achieving self-reliance. And year after year, as partner families "pass on the gift" of knowledge and one or more of their animals' offspring to others in need, they become links in a network of hope, dignity and self-reliance that helps hundreds of others care for themselves.

Please visit all of the entrants at Greenwala's Eco Chic Contest and see how your friends are being creatively green.

There are new contests coming up, so join the Greenwala Community for green ideas, conversation, and fun.

The Freebies4meandU Readaholic puts Skin Free Skin Care on Her List

Bridget H. has blogs over at Freebies4MeandU and over at the Readaholic Blog

She was really excited to try our products because of negative past experience with other brands. Bridget said, "The majority of products I have tried break me out in little itchy bumps because I'm have issues with skin allergies. I've tried Neutrogena, Almay, all kinds of products that are dermatologist recommended and still broke out in the itchy bumps."

After trying our Skin Free products, she exclaimed, "I can't believe how great my skin looks and feels. Skin Free, I'm your #1 fan!"

Bridget will be adding to her review later as she is sharing her products with her Mom and nephew who have eczema.

Thanks for a great review Bridget!

Maria G. makes AWESOME videos for Skin Free Products!

What a nice gesture! Maria G. over at Maria's Space made the coolest videos of her son and our products and I think she posted them on her blog AND YouTube. I asked if we could post them too because her son is so adorable I could hug him and kiss him forever.

Basically, Maria reinforces that Skin Free Skincare products are hot! No fragrances and no harsh chemicals = No Burning and No Fear. One of the greatest things I ever here is that they can be applied to really nasty children's eczema without burning and resistance from the child.

If you don't have children or you don't have eczema, that might not mean much, but parents know that when you apply typical lotion formulations to broken skin, it Hurts! When your child is in pain, you are in pain.

Using Skin Free Skincare's all vegan oil formulas allows you to stop that pain. And no matter what they tell you at the big-typical-lotion-company, pain is not a good thing. Alcohols and harsh chemicals that cause burning can also cause eczema to get worse. Artificial fragrances cause up to 85% of eczema breakouts.

We choose the right ingredients and choose to leave out the wrong ingredients. And we choose to keep our prices reasonable, as well!

I saw a new product advertized on TV for less than $2 an ounce. Well, guess what? Skin Free After Shower Spritz and Skin Free Super Moisture Balm are less than $2 an ounce, too! And guess what ELSE? There's NO water in our products. So the less than $2 per ounce that you spend on Skin Free goes a lot farther!!!

So go to your local Walgreen's and buy some :) If they don't have the products in stock, please ask them to order. You need some Skin Free right now!! love ya'll, Julie

PS: Almost forgot: Maria's Giving Away a $30 Skin Free Skincare Gift Certificate so go on over to Maria's Place and win some Skin Free.
