Summer Skincare Top 10 Tips

10 Products for a Happy and Healthy Summer

Lotion Bar ~ Not only does the lotion bar soften and keep soft, it repels those pesky mosquitoes. Since the bar is made of beeswax, and bees are a natural enemy of mosquitoes, they flee!

Sunscreen ~ I am thrilled that Nancy has once again come out with a superior product to keep us safe. Sunscreen will keep you safe at the pool, at little league games, at the beach, in the mountains, wherever you are in the sun. It is hypoallergenic so there isn’t a customer that can’t use it. And, with no fragrance, even the most macho man will put it on.

Shea Butter ~ Our first aid kit in a tube! You will want one for the bath, the kitchen, in the car, in the beach bag, and purse. Zap those ant bites, insect bites, scrapes, the dry skin from too much pool, burns from the barbecue pit, and the sun burn from when you forgot to wear the sunscreen.

Our shampoo products ~ Put moisture back into your hair after swimming or being in the sun and wind with our new products for the hair. We now have conditioner for everyday and the mask for the times when your hair and scalp becomes extra dry. And, don’t forget the leave-in is super for little girl’s curls, doggie’s mats, and kitty cat’s knots!

Hydrating Body Spritzer ~ What a refresher!!! Keep it in the refrigerator this summer and grab a quick spritz when you have been outdoors and want to get refreshed! And don’t forget when guests are coming! A quick spritz on their towels and bed linens will show that you are the hostess with the mostest!!

Happy Fee Spa Retreat ~ Everyone is in sandals and bare-footed these days. Keep your feet looking pedicure-fresh with this kit. It makes a great gift for birthdays, graduation, and any other special time. And, for those who have to be on their feet during this summer heat – what a way to cool those tootsies and feel refreshed all over!

Our many bath products ~ Think for a minute. We have soap for dry skin, for oily skin, for kid’s skin, for tired skin, and for guest’s skin. We have Dead Sea Salts and Fizzing Mineral Bath to soak away the summer blahs. We have shower gels to wake up, pick up, and relax before resting. Even if you can’t afford a vacation this year, you can float away for a “Take Me Away, Jordan Essentials” time.

Face Products ~ Don’t forget face all year ‘round and especially in the summer. The sun and wind are truly culprits and we want our customers to look as young as they feel!

Lip Care Products ~ An essential for the purse and beach bag. Exfoliate and polish, then keep those lips moist, healthy and kissable with the wonderful lip products. No mineral oil to be greasy. Just lots of vitamin E and SPF 15 to soften and protect from the sun rays. An added bonus: it is a wonderful conditioner for your cuticles!

Salt Scrub ~ This wonderful product will keep your skin soft and supple the entire summer. Great for removing onion, garlic, and jalapeno odors, it also takes away the fishy smell! Gardeners use it to remove dirt, mechanics use it to remove grease, kids use it to remove grime, and grannies use it to remove old skin! Customers should have one in the kitchen and one in the shower. Fishermen need some in the tackle box and mechanics in the scrub room. Take it with you when you get a pedicure.
