City Girl Naturals Review and Giveaway
City Girl Naturals was founded my owner and creator, Michaela, several years ago when she was having skin issues. She started mixing, and trying new recipes. Plus researching and studying skin care, nutrition and natural medicine. One she started, she hasn’t been able to stop! When her daughters came along, it was even more reason to find natural alternatives to skin care that is found at department stores and line the shelves of drugstores.
Large Body Set
So now we have City Girl Naturals! City Girl Naturals products are made with pure simple ingredients in simple formulations, which is what makes them so good. With the exception of the soaps which must be made ahead of time in order to allow time for curing, products are made to order to ensure a fresh, effective product at the height of it’s beneficial life.
Small Gift Set
Michaela has broken her products into categories to make it easier to shop for your specific skin type.
Anything listed as Basic, Essential or Hydrating will be in the first category. These products can be used on most skin types and particularly for normal to oily skin. Care must be taken when using hydrating products on oily skin though, which tends to need more cleaning than hydrating.
Moisturizing products are suitable for normal to dry skin. These products tend to contain more humectant properties to aid the skin in attracting and retaining moisture. Ultra rich products and body cremes will be in this category.
Nourishing products are more suited for dry and mature skin. Nourishing products tend to be a bit heavier, so really shouldn’t be used by people with oily or problem skin such as acne. Products in this category include body balms and skin oils.
Therapeutic products are specialty products for particular needs. They will contain specific ingredients to meet a specific need and will be noted as such.
Sugar Scrub
I am soft and silky today! Thanks to City Girl Natural’s Brown Sugar & Vanilla Scrub: An organic brown sugar scrub with nourishing oils and vanilla. Perfect for toes and elbows, but since sugar melts, it is also fantastic for a great mini-manicure! It is a balanced scent with that hint of spice from vanilla but the sweetness of brown sugar.
Her Hydrating Body Mist is delicious! I have been trying out the Lavender/Vanilla scent. I love freshening my hair with it. The scent is soft and sweet, and not overpowering, which allows me to use as much as I want! After a workout, or cleaning the house, it comes in handy to freshen up really quick, with out having to hop in the shower. She has several scents to choose from, Herbal Fresh, Heavenly Citrus, Amber Rose, Floral Delight, Peppermint, and of course the one I use, Lavender Vanilla.
The Hydrating Body Mist is a light refreshing humectant spray. Suitable for all over use, including face. For an extra treat during summer months, keep it in the refrigerator for a nice cool spritz or take it with you for anytime freshening. Peppermint is excellent for tired achy feet or legs, and feels great when sprayed through the hair, when you get hot, or need to perk up! Contains essential oils and plant extracts.
Hello my name is Karissa, and I am addicted to bar soap.
Lavender Vanilla Soap: Combining two of my favorites, lavender and vanilla. A beautiful lavender tinted soap with bits of lavender, essential oil and vanilla. Creamy suds, and all over light scent, had me as soon as I tried it the first time!
