Kiss My Face: Ultra Moisturizer

Dry hands, dry arms and dry itchy skin are all the result of wintry weather requiring furnaces to crank out heat 24/7 during the cold months in Chicagoland. Pre-washing dishes prior to placing them in the dishwasher only contributes to the dry skin problem. An all natural lavender and Shea aroma therapeutic lotion from Trader Joe's has come to the rescue. Kiss My Face is an obsessively natural ultra moisturizer for dry, sensitive and chapped skin from an all green company created by two vegetarians searching for healthy skin care products. Aromatic lavender's calming, relaxing and fabulously soothing qualities are mixed with wild crafted Shea Butter, used for centuries to protect the skin from the fierce sun of the Sahara. If it works there, it has to work in Northern Illinois. After just two pumps from the 16 fluid ounce bottle ($10.99 US) the skin immediately feels sensual, luxurious and hydrated. The fragrance is comforting, never offensively heavy, and even a husband wondered what smelled so good.

Started in an ancient house on a 200 acre organic farm in in the Hudson River Valley of New York in the early 1980's, Steve and Bob (their real names) decided they could create and sell healthy products for a green world. They were right. Twenty-five years later Kiss My Face now creates more then 200 all natural bath, skin-care and home products sold in 19 countries, and the two vegans are two happy, and probably wealthy, dudes. "Kiss My Face puts a smile in the aisle," according to one retailer who sells the fabulous product line. Often sold in health stores, the product line is available at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. Kiss My Face put moisture back into the skin on these hands and if that doesn't cause one to purchase it, the name alone could do it. Kiss My Face is a keeper.
