My 3 Must-Have Natural Beauty Products

lavenderWe can easily be seduced by promises of longer lashes, less wrinkles and smoother skin, and then end up with drawers full of useless stuff!

The three products below are my favorite natural beauty products. They are tried and true, and some may even sound “old school,” but they work even without a movie star endorsement. They have multiple purposes, are inexpensive, and are great for your skin.

New Skin Care Products at Village Green Apothecary

hugo-naturals_valley-greenIt is always exciting to get new lines into the store. Recently we have brought in some lovely skin care products from Hugo Naturals and Valley Green Naturals.

Hugo Naturals started out from handcrafted soaps that were made with all-natural ingredients and sold at local farmers’ markets. They feel that what you put on your body is equally as important as what you put in your body. Made in the USA, their products are free of petrochemicals, animal fats, parabens, silicones, formaldehyde, hydroquinone, phthalates, propylene glycol, and synthetic surfactants. And they are never tested on animals, are gluten free, and made from sustainable sources that are pure and natural.

Village Green has brought in bar soaps, liquid soaps and lotions, scented with pure essential oils and plant essences that delight the senses, moisturize, and add protection from the environment while feeling as rich and indulgent as spa treatments.

Valley Green Naturals is a small company out of Northern Virginia that started in a farmhouse kitchen with natural soap recipes using garden- and locally-sourced botanicals and honey. They were a huge hit at local farmers’ markets. Continue reading “New Skin Care Products at Village Green Apothecary”
