Earlier this month, Sharon of anb (all natural beauty) portal wrote a very nice review of one of my products: New Day Aromatherapy Bar Soap. Thank you Sharon!
I really love this soap (okay I say that about all my products ;P ) but New Day Aromatherapy Bar soap was one of the products that helped save my skin during this year’s harsh winter. For this product, I have taken an African black soap and enriched it with coconut milk, and plenty of emollient organic shea butter. I admit, like most African black soaps, this is not a ‘pretty’ looking soap (I have added so much shea butter to it, that over time, some shea butter has risen to the top of the soap, so if you look at it closely enough you can see it!), but what it does for the skin is short of a miracle. And it also smells amazing (I blended sunny orange with sultry ylang ylang, sweet lavender, and deep patchouli)!
I’ve mentioned that I battled a little dehydration this winter, and one thing that helped was my Herbal Cleansers. But there were some days my skin still needed soap (my skin has loved soap for close to a decade, for me, it has been my favorite type of cleanser for a very long time). My skin usually loved the plain african black soaps, but needed something even more emollient during the winter, so I used New Day a lot (and the Herbal Cleansers and Sunset Cleansing Oil on the other days). Because of the extremely high amount of shea butter and coconut milk, it was like combining several cleansers in one (a soap, cleansing ‘oil’, and an herbal cleanser too). My skin loved it during the winter.
Now that it is hot here, I am back to using soap most days, and am still using New Day since it is such a gentle soap. I also love using it to wash my hair (one of my favorite shampoos!) New Day will be in one of the soon to be posted samplers, so check the website soon for the samplers!
