Winter skin needs Shea Moisture Organic Red Bush & Sage Shea Butter Soap w/ Egyptian Musk

8 DIY Skin Care Remedies

Is your medicine cabinet overflowing with zit creams and dry skin cures? Stop buying more products and start cooking up your own skin care remedies at home

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care article If your bathroom is inundated with potions that promise to fix your skin care woes -- but don't -- it's time to create your own remedies from ingredients you can find in your own backyard. Before you protest, saying that you simply don't have time for a DIY project, check out these 8 recipes. They're easy and quick to mix. Fix skin issues

Hello sweet Gorgeous!
In the greater Phoenix Arizona area-it's still the low 70's-so maybe it's not the coldest winter on record, but it's very dry.

So I received a sample of a generously sized bar of organic soap for detoxifying and healing dry winter skin. It's made by Shea Moisture-a company that was established in 1912 and the products are made in the United States of America.

This 8 ounce behemoth of a healing bar soap gets even better-it's readily available at Target or Walgreens and averages $4.99!

I have used it on myself and my son-we both like the warm woodsy smell, light sudsy lather and easy rinsing with no film left over.

It has a long list of things that it does not have, such as: no parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, animal testing, paba, synthetic color , dea or sulfates and lest I forget to mention-it's cruelty free.

So please, don't take my word for it-go get your own!
