The Be Natural Organics Website
This Anti-Aging Collection came with four samples.
Step 1 You only will need a small amount on your palm. This works up a great lather in no time. Even though it has a creamy feel to it when you are massaging it into your face and neck, it rinses off very clean. The creamy feel and the thick lather gave me the idea the next morning to use it as a shaving cream. It worked great! If I were Be Natural Organic's I would make a two 4oz package set so you could keep one by the sink and one in the shower.
Step 2 Right after washing and drying my face I put on a small amount of the Ensyme Peel on. My skin had a tingling feeling to it. I even put it around my eyes and it was not too harsh for my sensitive skin.
Step 3 This is a very light liquid and gave my skin a cool feeling to it.
Step 4 The Sea Kelp moisturizer has a very light green tea smell to it. My skin soaked it right up. This did not leave my skin feeling greasy at all. My Over All Thoughts on this Product.
First The first ingredient on thier list is Aloe Vera Juice. Now I have to say I'm the biggest believer of Aloe Vera. It has been used on peoples' skin forever with good benefits. So if you have skin that can be sensitive to skin care products I would give this skin care routine a try. Second I get the question at least three times a week about the wanting to mix more and more ingredients together. Now you cannot get an "all in one" mixture to do it all. You can not mix an exfoliante with a moisturizer, they are not trying to sell more products, it is just the way it works. This is a four step routine. Cleanse, Exfoliate, then a Balance mist and then finish with a Moisturizer. It does not take that much time to do all four steps. This is a good start to a new skin care routine. If there is a step that you would like to change or there may be one step that does not agree with your skin, then you can change one step and keep what is working. At last I really think this is a well made small batch product. When you do order it, it will be fresh and do what the lable says it will do. They sent the Anti-Aging Collection if you are thinking about a new start to your skin care I would give this a try. With any skin care change you have to give it some time, there really is no over night miracle cream....

Moor Mask
This new mask is a 21 day program that I will be starting on 3/21/10 and as I use it I will be posting in a blog style on how it goes...
Day One 03/21/10 With just a little stir on went the mask. It does come already to use out of the jar. No need to add water. I went over my face two times to make sure it was covered, and on thick enough.
Filling up the spray bottle with warm water to keep it from drying out. Then I came up with the idea of filling up the sink with hot water and holding my face over the sink to not only keep the mask moist but great for my sinuses.
Day Two 03/22/10 After a long day of flying I ended up in Jacksonville Fla. To end the day with Moor Mask. The 5 minutes was a great way to unwind. The only mistake was putting a little too much water on during the mask. Not that it washed it off only making it a little thin on one side. It left a clean feeling and smooth skin. I am not putting any other creams on my face to see what the affect of the mask will be on its own. Day Three 03/23/10 It was the next morning that I saw the first change. It was in shaving. I got a real close shave. Now I'm not sure if it was because my whiskers were standing up more or if it was because my skin was softer. I do know it was not my razor. I use inexpensive disposable ones and it is not new. Even at the five o'clock shadow time my face was still smoother than it has been at that time. Day Four 03/24/10 Well my son Ben and I were out late at the BobCats game and having to get up early the next morning I did not take the time to put on the mask tonight. In the morning I still got a close shave. Day Five 03/25/10
Tonight I found out that if I take just a little water and run it through my hair it gets it off my face so the mask does not get in my hair.
After 5 minutes I rinsed off the mask with warm water. While the mask was on I was thinking if I would have to wash my face. Although there was no need. My face felt very clean. With the black color of the mask, the steam from the sink, The clean skin, in the end it did feel like I had been to a spa.
Day Six 03/26/10
The skin on my nose when I started was on the red side and today it is more the color of the rest of my face.
Day Seven 03/27/10 Well this is the 1/3 of the way through the program. My skin is realy softer and I am liking the close shave. I have to spray my face three times to keep it moist at this time. The mask product has a little water on the top so I know that it is as moist as it was when I started. Karen says she can see that my face looks smoother.
Day Eight 03/28/10 I am sticking with the 5 minutes each night. Tonight I did change it a little by brushing my teeth while the mask was on. I only had to wait another 1 minute untill taking off the mask. Day Nine 03/29/10 Well I was running out of steam today so I did my mask and teeth early and got ready for bed around 8:00pm. Having to get up a 5:15 in the morning. This is somthing I would do at night for sure. Day Ten 03/30/10 Well I'm out on an over nigh and during the day in my bag some of the water leaked out of my mask. I did keep it in a zip lock bag so no big deal. So I just added a little to my jar. That is one thing I do not know if it is water or something else? For the last 3 days I have not seen any change in my skin from day 4 and 5. Day Elevin 03/31/10 I got this not from Meg. Hi Wayne Have been reading your review blog every few days (it’s very personable and interesting) and just wanted to let you know: You should be building up to leaving the mask on for 10 minutes. Over the course of the 21 day program - the final 10 days and thereafter on maintenance applications – the mask should remain on your skin for 10 minutes – this is probably why you have not seen any progression over the last few days? The liquid in the jar IS water – but it is water from the moors. If you are adding water to the jar to keep the mask moist – please ensure you use bottled or filtered water as normal tap water can contaminate the remaining mask in the jar. Please don’t hesitate to email if you have any queries. Happy Easter! Regards Meg This is one reason I like the cottage products. It is easy to keep in touch with the people making these products. And you find out more about what you are using and how to use it to get the most out of it. I changed the time up to 10 minutes. Day Twelve 04/01/10 With 2 nighs of leaving the mask on for 10 minutes each night I can feal and see my skin has changed. My color is more even. My forhead is less red and by know my nose is the same color as my cheeks. When I was in the third grade I was hit by a car in the winter. My face got a lot of cinders in it and my nose had to be scrubed with a brush to get them all out. So my nose skin is very smooth but has been red side, especially in the summer with the sun. Today it is supposce to be in the 80's and a lot of sun...We will see how this mask works as the season changes from spring to more of a summer weather. Day Thirteen 04/02/10 Well my skin does seem to be gitting softer. I find my self fealing my face during the day. Even with a little sun on my face it was not dry at all. I still have not used any other creams on my face. Day Fourteen 04/03/10 At the end of the day my whiskers did not seen to be like the old 5:oopm shadow. Tonight I did have to ad some bottled water to the mask. It was getting dry around the side. So I scraped it all down to the bottom and then added some more water. And I am still keeping it on for just over the 10 minutes. 2/3 rds of the way through the program and my skin feels good! Day Fifteen 04/04/10 Well here it is Easter and what a long weekend. I got sometime to my self with the mask. My skin has a even color even having been outside for most of the day. Day Sixteen 04/05/10 My skin seems to have a bounce back feeling to it. After a full day of flying my skin still feels good. Day Sevinteen 04/06/10 With only four more day to go there will be enough mask for a full 21 days. The sprayer has work well and the bursh has only lost a few bristles. My forhead has a smoother look and feel than when I started. Day Sevinteen 04/07/10 Well my 5:00 shadow is all but gone. I am getting a really close shave. And my skin has an even color even with some sun tan on my face. Still not using any other skin care cream on my face and it is not dry. Day Eighteen 04/08/10 Well with spring here my face has gotten some color. I thought that the mask would be to dry on my face. But my skin is still soft and smooth and the tan is not showing any sign of drying. Day Nineteen 04/09/10 I left the mask on for 15 minutes. Well I put it on and Karen was watching the tv and I got hooked on the show. I did keep it wet. It turned out ok being on that long. Day Twenty 04/10/10 I find my selt feeling my face more just to feel the soft skin. And not only being soft it is plumped up. Day Twenty-one 04/11/10 Well out of the 21 days I only missed one night. I still have enough for four more nights and will wait a mounth and us it for 3 nights in a row then. My skin is a lot smoother and more even in color. The sprayer and brush held up great. There was just a little drying of the mask that made it a little lumpy in the end but no big deal. I would buy two small bottles over one large one. This would be a great add to your product line if you own a spa. Start with the one treatment and then sell a bottle for your customer to take home... I would like to thank Meg for sending her mask for me to try!

This New Product Review Was sent in 2/15/10. Three Seeds Naturals
Just after the picture was taken we could not wait to try out these new products. Lip Balm The lip balm that was sent was the Winter Vanilla Peppermint. What a great feeling whith the slight peppermint tingle and the smell of vanilla. I would say there is more shea butter than wax in this recipe. Even though it is not waxy, it did stay on my lips for a long time. Seeming to moisturize my lips instead of covering them in wax. The combination of peppermint and vanilla does give you a winter feeling. The lip balm tub I have not seen before. It worked well and has a nice look to it. Perfect for a gift. The down side was that Karen got it into her purse before I got it into my pockiet! Everyday Body Lotion Sampler Set
I am a big fan of the smaller sized lotions. 2 oz. is a good size. You can use them up and I still feel that they are fresh until the end. Karen thought it was in between a lotion and a cream.
Fresh Lemongrass
Coconut Lime
Almond Vanilla
Vanilla Fig
Signature Pomergranate
Sugar Body Scrubs
The Signature Pomegranate body Scrub has a smell that you can not breath in enough. And when you pass it on for someone else to smell you are still holding your breath. I used this on my elbow and feet at the begining of my shower. Two of my roughest parts of my body. Both felt much smoother and at the end I used Fresh Lemongrass Ultra Moisturizing Cream on both.
Ultra Moisturizing Cream This is one of the hardest of the creams to make. And Sarah has done a great job of it. She sent us the Fresh Lemongrass. Like I said earlier I used it after my shower. Karen has been using it at night on here hands and face. All in all Three Seeds Naturals is a great cottage Business. Sarah has taken her time in putting these products together. From the actual recipes in these products to the packaging. I would be glad to have her input here at Natural Skin Care Info.
Make sure you read "About US" section of her website. The Essential U article shows you how through hard work one can make a great skin care product and bring it to the web to sell. You will not be disappointed with any of the products that we tried. The Everyday Body Lotion Sampler Set with 5 lotions. One of these lotions would be a pleasant surprise to hand out, the next time the girls get together. For our readers a free lip balm with any purchase of Three Seeds Naturals products upon mentioning the Natural Skin Care Info website at check out!!!
