Last June, I reviewed a few new-to-me products from Skin Free Skincare, and I am happy to report that I am still using the corrective face nectar and daytime light moisture. I swear by these products and tell all of my friends and family that they are the single best product I’ve ever used on my face!!
So when I was asked recently if I’d like to try a different product made by Skin Free owner, Julie Hilton, I jumped at the chance. This time I tried the Mandarin Vanilla Butter Cream lotion and shea butter soap from the Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio®. The scent is heavenly (it is literally my ideal scent!) and it works perfectly. Unlike traditional lotions whose scents fade quickly, the essential oils in this lotion makes my skin smell sweet for hours and hours. And despite the fact that there are “oils” in this lotion, there is no oily feeling. Again, I’m happy to report that I am completely pleased with my sample. Next time I order from them, I am going to try out their new line of Herbal Remedies. I can’t wait to try the head ache stick roll on.
About Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio® and owner, Julie Hilton:
All products distributed by Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio® are designed and formulated by owner and practicing pharmacist, Julie Hilton, who has over 30 years experience in compounding and natural skin care. “I started the Studio in 2000 when my husband and I moved to the Blue Ridge of Virginia. Our friends were calling us “gypsies,” so the name evolved naturally.”
Naturally occurring vegetable oils and butters contain indigenous nutrients, antioxidants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), and antibacterial agents that petroleum-based oils just don’t have. Natural oils absorb into the skin and do not feel greasy. They also come from replenishable sources, which is a great environmental concern.
The products created for Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio are formulated to be safe, effective in soothing your skin, and affordable. If you are interested in products with no fragrances or colorants, please shop at www.skinfree.net! Both Skin Free products and our original Blue Ridge Gypsy line use only the finest natural oils and butters in our formulations. Blue Ridge Gypsy products are scented with pure, organic essential oils.
