During our last week of summer the kids and I kind of tried to pack in all of the fun stuff we wanted to do before the school year began. After a particularly long (but fun!) day of golfing, swimming, a party, boating, and fishing (Whew!) we got home pretty late. After I got the kids to bed and collected my mail I went through the two boxes that had arrived that day. Dont you just love getting packages? It never gets old.
One was a shampoo I’d ordered – a yummy Dr. Hauschka, I’ll do a whole hair post next week.
The other was a tiny product from Pratima Skincare. You remember Pratima, as in Dr. Pratima Raichur, the wonderful Ayurvedic whom I interviewed earlier this year. The product was a sample of a new product Dr. Pratima has created called Diamond Botanical Facial Refiner.
After our big day I was exhausted AND filthy. Since I was already off to the shower I grabbed the scrub, as a good exfoliation sounded like just the thing. I soon discovered this is no ordinary scrub, but a luxe facial refining product. Finely granulated for gentle exfoliation, this product contains Purified Diamond Bhasma. Organic Amla, an amazing oil used in Ayurveda for its intense anti-aging and healing abilities and gives this products moisturizing qualities, so skin is left hydrated. The fragrance is so light and elegant -- just luxurious.
My skin felt clean, pampered and comfortable after using the Diamond Botanical Facial Refiner and I feel like it is a treat each and every time I use it. This product is suitable for all skin types and may be used as often as you like, though I recommend exfoliating twice weekly. And never use an exfoliating product on irritated skin or when broken out. All Pratima skincare is chemical and cruelty free.
Diamond Botanical Facial Refiner is so new that it isn't even on the site yet, but should be in a few weeks. I will post a reminder for you when it is up. In the mean time, head on over to Pratima Skincare and check out the other fine products and take Your Dosha quiz.
I am constantly amazed by the simple purity of Ayurvedic products and how well they perform. Which reminds me…one of my fave Ayurvedics, Ria from Skin Apothke, has sent more samples and they are absolute little miracles in a bottle. Can’t wait to share them with you!
