Blogger Review - Beauty Junkie in SF (Creme de la Rose and Solar Defense Day Cream)

November 5th, 2008 posted by David

Now that the election is over it is time to reflect on a campaign that has lasted almost 2 years and a la Hillary Clinton, fractured many a glass ceiling. We wish President-elect Barack Obama the very best on his victory and now we can look forward to hopefully a much brighter 2009.

Are you a beauty Junkie? I couldn’t think of a better addiction. Why is there just something about lotions and potions in pretty jars that make us go crazy! Personally, I love the textures and scents and of course the best part is the benefits. No matter how pretty something is and great it smells, if it does not get the job done then alas it is just another pretty face without substance. When beauty becomes beneficial I need to run to the nearest 12-step meeting. Maybe I should create the first Beauty Addicts Anonymous in Palm Springs, hey it would be the Betty Ford for Beauty. Beauty Junkie in SF, a fabulous fellow beauty addict had some great things to say about a couple of our products, here is her review.

The Body Deli - Skincare products so natural you could almost eat them

Like to eat fresh? Organic? Raw, whole foods? Well, why not use them on your body too? The Body Deli has created a line of skincare and body care products made of fresh, organic, raw ingredients. They are so fresh, each product actually has an expiration on it! I’ve had the chance to try a couple of their products and so far I really like them. It is very cool to read the list of ingredients and actually know what all of them are!

Inspired by the concept of natural living and driven by the science of “living foods,” The Body Deli’s products are designed to provide nutrition for the skin. All of the products are handmade in small batches and incorporate raw, fresh, natural and organic ingredients, including organic yogurt, amino acids, fresh fruit and vegetables, and all-natural plant oils. Yum! The result is nutrient-rich products for the body, face and hair that deliver fresh vitamins, enzymes and minerals at their peak potency. Hence the expiration date!

When my skin was freaking because it was so dry, I reached for the Creme de la Rose. Normally, this luxurious cream would have been too heavy for me but my skin was extra thirsty from the dry heat. I used it only at night and it kept the tightness I was feeling at bay. So, if you want a heavy cream with tons of anti-aging benefits, from the oils of pure organic steam distilled bulgarian rose, moroccan rose geranium and sandalwood from India, try this out. You’ll feel like you are using a cream meant for a queen.

Another lotion I tried was the Solar Defense Day Cream. We all know what a big fan I am of moisturizers that include a sunscreen. Who wants to put two products on when one can do the job just fine?! My typically slightly oily skin likes the lightness of this lotion and the fact that is blends in fast. No to mention it includes anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Superoxide Dimutase, which work to neutralize free radical damage and improve the health and vitality of the complexion. Yeah, that’s right! Nature does good work!
