I just got back from the Left Coast and things have been happening so quickly that my head is still spinning. My DH says that's just my normal Exorcist impersonation, but I think I am really busy!
Have lots of reviews to post, but one in particular had me ROTFLOL for 15 minutes. (Thank the Lord for Detrol) I just have to repeat that review on this blog in its entirity because apparently the Male Sex has discovered Skin Free Skincare and is covertly stealing it away from the Women in their lives. Has this happened to you?
I mean we could start a support group, but I really recommend that you start buying two of everything if it's a real problem. Any way, I digress... here's what I got in the email box from Amy, the Happy Mom today:

Skin Free: Facial Care for Tough Guys and Girly Girls (Guest Post by Dad-O)
Okay, so Amy was trying out this Skin Free skin care stuff and I found the three little jars in the bathroom. Long story short, my fruity butt couldn’t stop talking about how much I liked the stuff and she thought I should be the one to tell her readers about it.
Here goes.
The first thing I tried was the Niaouli Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin. I know that’s what it’s called because I’m looking at the jar, but generally refer to it as the “scratchy face stuff.” I realize that women do all sorts of crazy stuff to their bodies in the name of beauty – waxing, plucking, scraping, tweaking, shaving, curling – but guy’s aren’t used to that stuff. So when I first rubbed the scrub on my face and it felt like cold porridge mixed with broken glass, I was a little spooked. But DANG it feels good. There’s definitely a good scrub factor to it. It’s super refreshing to use and leaves your skin with sort of a moisturized, lotioned-up feel to it when you’re done. At this point, I don’t even feel awake until I get this stuff on my face.
I used the scrub for a few weeks before I spotted some other similar-looking jars next to the sink and figured that one good turn deserved another. Because apparently I’m fifteen years old and I get the occasional zit, I’m always trying different creams and stuff for spot treatment. One night I slathered on the Skin Free Green Clay Mask for Blemish Prone Skin before turning in for the night. My head had barely hit the pillow and I felt like my face was on fire. The mask was intense, probably mostly because I wasn’t expecting it. My first reaction was to run screaming to the sink like a little girl, but after being thoroughly mocked and emasculated by my adoring wife, I decided to tough it out. After a few minutes, I got use to the stuff and when I woke up and washed it off, my face felt great…refreshed.
Now honestly, I haven’t used the mask as a mask since that night. I just use it as a spot treatment for anyplace on my face that feels like it’s breaking out. That works for me, but I’ll be lots of the ladies out there would love it as one of those freaky nightly masks that the old ladies are always wearing late at night in the movies.
Last but not least, I tried the LiteMoisture Cream for Daily Use. I’m not big on stuff like this, but it leaves your skin feeling nice and if moisturizing-type-stuff floats your boat, I’ll bet you’ll love it.
Bottom line? I phase in and out of using skin care products like this, but I’m hooked on the Skin Free stuff. The ingredients are very natural and there’s a very organic feel to the whole experience. They're hypoallergenic, vegan-friendly, and cruelty free. What more could you ask?
I suggest that you win some. The winner will receive a $30 gift certificate to skinfree.net!

Piera Jolly has a Jolly Good Time Reviewing Skin Free Skincare
Piera Jolly over at Jolly Mom was kind enough to review some of our Skin Free products for Blemish Prone Skin.
One of the realties that adult women have to face is that the acne they thought they left behind them can flare up when hormone levels shift. We all know how frustrating it is to have blemishes! Many of my clients asked me to make some acne products, but I was hesitant to do so. There were just so many acne products out there that I didn't want to add more unless they offered something better than the norm.
As an experimental chemist, cook, and painter (aren't they all basically the same?), I often get ideas about mixing up something new. Sometimes, I just take an existing idea and try to improve on it. That's how Skin Free Niaouli Scrub was born! I really liked our Sweet and Smooth Sugar Scrub, so that became the base. Then I added a really fine cosmetic grade pumice to get deep into blocked pores. Organic Niaouli essential oil offered the antiseptic moeity to fight infection. Then I blended everything together with Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Liquid Soap.
When I tried my new concoction, my face felt so velvety and clean, I just knew I had a winner! The beauty is that you have a one step product that exfoliates, washes, moisturizes and medicates your skin at the same time. I think exfoliating your skin is important for all women to prevent breakouts.
Acne starts as a clogged pore. Then it gets infected and swells and it's downhill from there. You can read Piera's experience with the Niaouli Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin here.
Piera also tried the Skin Free green Clay Mask for Blemish Prone Skin Most people love this stuff, but I have to tell you I never use it. It just doesn't appeal to me. However, I would be in big trouble if I stopped making it for my clients who love it. I may even have to make a different kind of clay mask for people with extra sensitive skin. Why not? Piera is one of those who loves the mask. See what she says about it here.
The third product that Piera tried was the Skin Free Corrective Face Nectar. She was very happy with the results she got. She calls it her "little magic potion". See what else she says about it here.
It makes me so happy when people like my products! Why don't you try some and make me happy, too!
PS: i really need to apologise to Piera for overlooking her post in a timely fashion. She hosted a giveaway, but it's already closed. Unfortunately, her emails were going to an address that I don't read every day. SORRY PIERA!! You did a wonderful job. It was an accident, I promise :)) Julie

A Psych Mommy Analyzes Skin Free Niaouli Scrub and Green Clay Face Mask
We could all use a little therapy occasionally right? Sometimes even the therapist needs a little therapy. Skin Free Skincare was happy to oblige when we were put in touch with Shari from A Psych Mommy.
Shari is a school psychologist who told us about her misadventures with acne since the birth of her baby. We stepped up to the plate with our Skin Free Niaouli Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin and our Skin Free French Green Clay Mask.
Word has it that Shari loved the way the Scrub made her skin feel. We formulated our scrub with our own Skin Free Sugar Scrub base, Skin Free Liquid Soap, some organic Niaouli essential oil, some delicate cosmetic grade pumice, and just a dash of organic oils. I love the way it makes my skin feel like velvet!
Shari suggested the French Green Clay Mask be accompanied by candles and bubble bath. Try this great Skin Free product when you really want to pamper yourself! You can win a $30 gift certificate at Shari's site, so take a peek!

New Skin Free Products for Blemish Prone Skin
Skin Free clients have been asking for natural products to use for acne and blemish prone skin since we started the line. Finally, we are able to announce that we will be adding three new products specifically for acne and blemish prone skin.
First of all, we have a very specially formulated Skin Free Niaouli Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin which is 98% natural! Most scrubs available in the market are made from gels that contain lots of chemicals. We have taken our Sugar Scrub concept and added our all natural Liquid Soap, very fine cosmetic grade pumice, and healing Organic Niaouli essential oil to make a powerful and effective scrub that will remove excess oil, minimize pores, and remove dead skin cells. Niaouli essential oil reduces bacterial growth on the skin to help prevent new outbreaks.
The end result of using this great product is a rejuvenated, glowing skin with fewer problem areas.
I can’t tell you how amazing it makes your skin feel! Having just a touch of soothing Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil and Macadamia Nut oil in this formula allows your skin to be moisturized while you clean out overworked pores. One of the problems of stripping away all oils from your skin, is that you over-stimulate the natural oil producing cycle of your skin. I can’t stress enough how important it is to continue to moisturize your skin while you are fighting blemishes. You want to keep your skin’s oil cycle balanced to promote healthy skin, prevent wrinkles, and not cause too much oil to be generated. Clogged pores are caused by too much oil, which is oxidized at the skin’s surface and hardens. Add this to trapped bacteria and you have a blemish. The trick is to keep pores clear of excess oils and free from infection.
This brings us to the next new product: Skin Free Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin. We recommend using our Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap Bar or Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Liquid Soap for daily cleansing. If your skin feels too dry, try our Skin Free Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin to add a bare minimum dose of soothing Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil and hypoallergenic Macadamia Nut oil to balance your natural oil production without feeling greasy or shiny.
The final member in our blemish treatment group is our Skin Free Green Clay Mask for Blemish Prone Skin . This versatile product can be used occasionally as a complete mask to clean out pores on any area of your body that has breakouts. It is enriched with Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and hypoallergenic Macadamia Nut oil and our favorite Organic Niaouli essential oil to balance your skin’s moisture cycle and help prevent bacterial growth. If you have a break-out area that you would like to tame quickly, you can apply Skin Free Green Clay Mask for Blemish Prone Skin locally at bedtime to help dry blemishes overnight.
This dynamic trio of products for blemish prone skin will also be available as a group, so you can use all three in you skin maintenance program at a discounted price! Keep watching the website. They will be available soon after the 4th. Have a great Holiday!! Julie
