A couple of months ago Stephanie Simkins sent me several samples from her Skin line to try out. Some new, some just new to me.
I always love using Stephanie’s products. They seem so pure and fresh, because they are. Maybe this is because Stephanie is no slouch when it comes to organics – a nutrition consultant, herbalist, and organic caterer when she is not creating fabulous organic skincare.
Well, these new products did not disappoint. Let’s start off with Plumberry Body Lotion – the name kind of says it all. It is as fresh, summery, light, and delicious as it sounds. We could be talking about cheesecake here ( and Plumberry does smell good enough to eat) but this lotion is no cream puff. It may be light but does the job of hydrating dried-out summer skin.
Next up, foaming Skin Naked Foam Unscented Shave Cream and Wash. This foaming wash comes in a pump bottle and is so gentle it can be used on face and body. Seriously, my super sensitive skin had no issues with this wash. But the best part? Shaving! A friend (thanks Ellen!) clued me in to the wonderful-ness of using Skin Naked Foam Wash for shaving and it truly does make a difference. Razor glides across skin, no irritation or bumps left behind. I actually look forward to this part of my shower now.
About mid-June my skin started to feel very dry and sapped, and I dreamed of a big (I’m talking BIG) jug of very basic body lotion that I could slather on my skin at a moments notice. As I was conveying these feelings to my friend (again, thanks Ellen) she filled me in on the new larger sizes of body lotion from Skin. Skin Naked Skin Unscented Lotion comes in an 8 oz pump bottle and can be used on face or body. Now this is the kind of multi-tasker we all need to have around for summer, or any time of year. Works on kids and adults, and those who are scent sensitive.
Feet really take a beating in summer months and mine are no exception – dry and rough. Skin Peppermint Foot Scrub, applied after a good sloughing with a sugar or salt scrub (I like Belletare Body Scrub), really gets things back under control. Another foot note: the shoes my daughter wore in my sister’s wedding last month gave her a blister on her big toe that ended up kind of making the bottom of her foot peel. It was really weird and, since it looked irritated, I certainly did not think sloughing was in order. We used to Skin Healing Calendula Salve that Stephanie had included in the samples and guess what…better practically over night. By the next morning things looked much better and the problem was completely resolved in just a matter of days. Planning to keep a little jar of this on hand at all times.
Skin products are all free from harmful chemical ingredients.

My skin is very sensitive and so I use natural products. I haven't tried Stephanie’s skin care products before. Hope it will work good on my skin.
Skin Products are decent and I was a customer of theirs for a year or so till I found a company called face naturals. I am really into organic and no chemical products and face naturals focus is on this.
I have tried their masks that work the best for me so far at keeping blemishes away. I have tried their anti aging serum that was like have my fine lines surgically removed. I also tried their peppermint deodorant that I really don't know how they do it, but I can go 2 full days and no smell. I shower daily but I had a 24 hour back to back shift that I was unable to shower.
Overall face naturals is the cleanest feeling best organic products that I have ever used before.
