Velvety Vanilla Best Skin Ever swirls the senses with organic infusions of raw Vanilla Beans drenched in Virgin Coconut oil for months on end. Our signature solution unleashes the aromatic awesomeness of pure Vanilla while saturating the Coconut oil with all the soothing, moisturizing powers Vanilla has to offer.
Vanilla Best Skin Ever evens skin tone, balances oil production, soothes and serenes the skin. It is a deluxe and luxuriant moisturizer, too. The organic infusion of raw Vanilla Bean and Virgin Coconut oil adds an opulent aroma. To this sweet-smelling treat we have added soothing Seabuckthorn to even skin tone, wholesome Jojoba to balance oil production, tried and true Tamanu oil to infuse the skin with beneficial lipids, lovely Lavender oil to soothe and calm, vibrant Vetiver to tone, grateful Grapefruit to energize, and pure Palmarosa to purify the unknown.
Directions: When you start a fresh bottle, prime the pump with a firm press or two to get the fluid flowing.
Using your fingertips, gently massage the face, neck or body. Apply after bathing, swimming, sunning or showering. It is also a glorious massage oil. Beautiful for after sun rehydration. Combine with other Serums, Elixirs and Essential Oils to create your own unique blend. It may be used to cleanse the face and body, though unbalanced or acne prone skin will see happier results from Seabuckthorn, Rose, Frankincense, Sandalwood or Neroli Best Skin Ever.
How to Use Our Best Skin Evers
Our Best Skin Evers renew the face and bedew the body and with grace. These all-in-one botanical blends cleanse, moisturize and nourish the skin. Best Skin Evers are crafted to bring into balance all skin types.
Washing the face with pure pressed plant oils is an ancient Ayurvedic and gracious method to cleanse and gently exfoliate the skin. The practice of oil washing arose in the arid lands of antiquity where skin required special care and skin-loving lipids were prized. Oil washing was then introduced to central and southern Europe by nomadic Roma women who emigrated from northern India in the 14th or 15th century. Nadine designed the Best Skin Evers to be your finest bathing and beauty aide. These oils plus water and a cloth are the simple essentials to cleanse, exfoliate, moisten and bedew.
Put one or two squirts into your palm. Using your fingertips, gently massage the face, neck or body.
Vanilla Best Skin Ever may be used to cleanse the face and body (and many people do), though unbalanced or acne prone skin will see happier results from Seabuckthorn, Rose, Frankincense, Sandalwood or Neroli Best Skin Ever.
Directions: Washing/Cleansing your Face with Best Skin Ever
1. Wet a small portion of a cloth with water.
2. Apply one to two squirts of any of the Best Skin Evers (Seabuckthorn, Sandalwood, Rose, Frankincense or Neroli), to the dampened portion of the face cloth.
3. Gently massage the face, neck and back of the neck with the moistened cloth. Wash gently or wash vigorously for a deeper exfoliating effect. Rinsing the face is optional.
If more moisture is needed, add another squirt or two of any of our Best Skin Evers or Libations Serums (Rose Glow, Soothsayer, Royal Rose, Sandalwood, Chocolate Karat or Open Sky) to your fingertips and massage into the face and neck. If your skin feels extra thirsty, a Libations Crème (Sundew, Rose Glow, All Seeing or Maverick) will satisfy.
You can also add a drop or two of any of the Serums to a dab of any of the Crèmes. They all blend beautifully together.
Directions: Using Best Skin Ever on your Body after a Bath or Shower
1. Leave the body wet after a bath or shower.
2. Wet a washcloth with water. Squeeze it out.
3. Apply a few squirts onto the wet washcloth of any of the Best Skin Evers.
4. Massage the entire body with the cloth, head to toe. Rub more vigorously to exfoliate.
