Best of Scrubs… Day 6

Only 2 more days left in our Best of Scrubs challenge! And let me tell you, my skin is so damn soft, it feels like a baby’s behind! I think I’ve just about scrubbed off the last 20 years of my life!

Anyway, today’s scrub is: Paradise Potions Sweet Body Smoothie Tropical Sugar Body Polish

What it is: Hand-made with exotic shea butter, nourishing coconut oil and pure tropical sugar crystals.
What it does: Naturally brightens, softens, conditions and exfoliates your skin to perfection.
Claim to fame: With over 20 different fragrance choices, they’ve got a smell to suit everyone. And it’s not just a body scrub, the company swears it’s great for the face too! Plus, company president, Melba Clark, tells beauty banter, that it’s an incredible shaving cream (???) as well! “Wet legs……rub in SWEET BODY SMOOTHIE, Tropical Sugar Body Polish for about a minute and shave the scrub off…….yep, you heard me correctly, shave the scrub off and then rinse well for the worlds closest and silkiest shave,” says Melba. “Works fabulous on underarms and bikini area too!”
What we like: We LOVE the coconut macaroon scented scrub. It reminds us of another amazing body polish, oldy-but-goody, Pure Fiji’s Coconut Sugar Rub. Both scrubs are coconut-infused, and as my fellow beauty whores know, I adore coconut – the smell, the soothing and softening properties, even the milk! Because the sugar granules don’t irritate my skin and the scrub is infused with so many moisturizing ingredients (but not too many so that the sugar gets lost in massive amounts of oils), I’ve pretty much declared this scrub my everyday exfoliator! I never leave the shower greasy or red, but always step out smooth and radiant!

LEI MINK Anti Aging / Antioxidant Facial Serum

admin — Wed, 26 May 2010 03:57:11 +0000

Did you know that mink is the only mammal immune to any diseases of the skin? Mink oil is very close in composition to human sebum and absorbs deep into the 15th subcutaneous layer of skin practically on contact. LEI MINK is a long lasting natural lipid that boosts protection of fine lines, U.V. rays, and age spots as well as blemishes scars, stretch marks, and irritated skin. Not only is it wonderful for preventing wrinkles, but it also ‘ lifts’ the wrinkles that are already there leaving behind smoother and tauter skin. Pure Olive Squalane, derived from the pits of olives, is known as “Nature’s Facelift”. Some of the many benefits include cell regeneration and oxygenation, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and helping skin retain vital moisture. Cyclomethicone adds a protective barrier and helps to protect against loss of precious moisture. Essence of Rosemary adds a revitalizing aroma and helps to increase circulation and reduce skin puffiness. LEI MINK provides super rich moisture and nourishment without leaving the skin greasy or sticky. Dry skin will feel instantly silky smooth and more luminous throughout the day and evening. Wonderful before applying liquid or powder foundation. Makeup will glide on effortlessly for perfectly flawless skin.
1.3 FL OZ (40mL)

Ingredients: Pure Olive Squalene, Mink Oil PEG 13 Esters, Cyclomethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate ( Vitamin E ) and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil.

Find of the Week: Melba’s Paradise Potions
Body Care, Shopping – June 2nd, 2007

Here’s something I know everyone will love: an awesome body scrub and hand & body cream.

Melba’s Paradise Potions is an independent business based in Southern California specializing in bath and body products. The products are amazing!!

This time of year it’s shorts and skirts weather, so having a great scrub and a great body lotion is key to great looking skin. Why? Here are some good reasons.

First, combat dry skin by removing dead skin cells so your lotion will penetrate better. The result is smoother, supple skin. If you use a self-tanner (and I will post a review on one soon!), using a body scrub first ensures an even application with no streaks or dark spots. If you are a sun-worshipper (naughty you!), using a rich body cream afterwards helps your skin recover from the drying effects of the sun.

Melba’s Paradise Potions makes an awesome scrub called Sweet Body Smoothie Tropical Sugar Body Polish, available in several amazing scents. My current favorite is the Cucumber Mango, although I’m dying to try the Kona Latte and Eucalpytus & Lemon. This is one of the best scrubs I’ve ever used. It’s a sugar scrub, and it has the perfect thick texture that ensures you don’t lose half of it to the tub floor before you can rub it on your skin. It’s not too oily or greasy (so no slippery tub), but it does have just the right amount of skin-loving oils to leave your skin perfectly soft and smooth. I’m totally hooked.

The Satin Sheets Hand & Body Creme perfectly complements the scrub. Slather yourself with it after your shower or bath for nicely moisturized skin. It’s not greasy or heavy, but rather has a light almost whipped texture. The scents match the scrub scents, so you can layer your fragrance.

As a special offer for my readers, Melba’s Paradise Potions is offering a special deal – Buy One Scrub and get a FREE matching Satin Sheets Hand and Body cream. All you need to do is buy one scrub and then type “Claire’s Beauty FREE Hand Cream” in the notes section when checking out and Melba’s Paradise Potions will then automatically add your FREE Satin Sheets Hand and Body Cream. This is an awesome deal, and I know you will love the products.

Hormone Havoc Creates Path to Tropical Paradise!

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:13:10 +0000

NewswireToday – /newswire/ – San Marcos, CA, United States, 01/14/2007 – A tubal ligation followed by a hysterectomy leads to an AHA! moment for entrepreneur Melba Clark. Conquering a plethora of mysterious hormone symptoms leads to a surprising twist, the development of her own skincare line, Melba’s Paradise Potions.

When sudden hormonal decline led to a plethora of dreadful symptoms, including severely dry skin, Melba decided it was time to learn about hormone replacement therapy.

After reading numerous scientific studies she learned that the most commonly prescribed hormones were “patentable and very profitable horse hormones” known to be roughly seventy percent different than human hormones. Knowing full and well that she was a human and not a horse (after all, she couldn’t remember the last time she ate “hay” for dinner)…led her to study even more scientific research on bioidentical hormones. It also didn’t hurt that she was an independent thinker and was always wondering the hows and whys of absolutely everything.

After locating a doctor willing to prescribe bioidentical hormones she began topically applying natural hormone creams with incredible results! Within a few days her skin became soft and smooth and many other symptoms miraculously disappeared. Her complete amazement at the positive changes in her energy, brain, body and, most notably, her skin piqued Melba’s interest in skincare, which led to a passionate interest in topical skin nutrition and cosmetic formulation.
Creativity, curiosity and a friend with a bad case of acne led to the development of her newly launched skincare line: Melba’s Paradise Potions.

She met her previous business partner, Rene Dunn, who while studying for her master’s degree in Marketing, purchased a variety of 150 different lotions and creams from very high end stores and boutiques to evaluate price, quality ingredients and product claims. After Rene tried Melba’s “Satin Sheets Hand and Body Cream” and “Sweet Body Smoothie, Tropical Sugar Body Polish” she was instantly sold on what she calls, “The BEST hand and body cream and sugar scrub on the market!” Rene, knowing a “great product,” made Melba an offer she couldn’t refuse. This coming year is sure to be a BOOM… As the requests for wholesale bath and body products keep these energetic entrepreneurs hopping.

Melba even won a ribbon her first year at the “San Diego County Fair 2006” for “Best Scented New Product”! Check out her incredible potions and get 25% off your entire order by entering “thanks2006” in the coupon area when checking out.

For further information on bioidentical hormone replacement Melba recommends contacting the Bioidentical Hormone Society.
