<p><strong>Bright Young Things Everything Halter Top</strong></p>
<p>Eliza Starbuck, designer and founder of <a href="http://www.youbrightyoungthings.com/">You Bright Young Things</a>, recently created a capsule collection for <a href="http://ecosalon.com/bright-young-things-debuts-in-urban-outfitters/">Urban Outfitters</a> and this <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/search/search.jsp?searchPhrase=bright+young+things&amp;listViewSize=&amp;indexStart=0&amp;sortBy=&amp;sortOrder=&amp;categories=&amp;categories2=&amp;categories3=&amp;categories4=&amp;skucolor=&amp;priceLow=&amp;priceHigh=&amp;skusize=&amp;brand=&amp;maxPrice=&amp;minPrice=">Everything Halter</a> is one of the pieces. Known for her inspiring creation of the LBD for Sheena Matheiken&#8217;s <a href="http://ecosalon.com/the-wear-a-thon-continues-with-the-bright-young-things/">Uniform Project</a>, Starbuck is offering her micro-tencel halter which converts into a number of different pieces (including a skirt), to us for The Box and we love her for that.</p>

<p>(Retail value of $89.00)</p>

<p><strong>Recycled Cement Sack Tote</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure I can write this piece about the Recycled Cement Sack Tote better than the <a href="https://www.globalgirlfriend.com/gifts/item.do?siteId=344&amp;itemId=38061">Global Girlfriend site</a> did: &#8220;Make a concrete statement about your support for women in need in Bangladesh as they work to cement a new future! This shopper tote is a great bag for trips to the grocery or for daily use and you&#8217;ll feel good knowing your purchase has enhanced the lives of women artisans.&#8221; Handmade and fairly traded from Bangladesh and now, ready to hold all your summer 2011 beachy items.</p>
<p>(Retail value of $16.50)</p>

<p><strong>Lucy Siegle&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out The World?</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/the-post-recession-fashion-industry-an-interview-with-lucy-siegle/">Author Lucy Siegle</a> is a weekly <em>Observer</em> columnist, an environmental columnist for <em>Marie Claire</em> and a regular contributor to a number of other publications, television and radio. Her recent book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Die-Fashion-Wearing-Out-World/dp/0007264097"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out The World?</span></a> is a look at the inhumane and environmentally devastating story behind the clothes we so casually buy and wear. Luckily, you&#8217;ll be reading this on a beach coated in non-toxic sunblock and in a skimpy bikini when you get to read about the impact your wardrobe choices make.</p>
<p>(Retail value of $25.00)</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/yala1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img title="yala" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/yala1.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="637" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Yala&#8217;s Bamboo Dreams Beach Towel</strong></p>
<p>We think something you just can&#8217;t be without this summer is a great beach towel and when we saw these from <a href="http://www.yaladesigns.com/bamboo-accessories/bamboo-beach-towels">Yala</a>, we knew we&#8217;d found the perfect one. Enjoy your time beachside, poolside or at the spa with your own natural towel made from bamboo and organic cotton. We love the Koi fish swimming among water lilies in cheerful colors. If you choose to purchase The Box, one of these three towel colors will be yours.</p>
<p><strong><em>Go to the Yala site now and get 25% off these beach towels with EcoSalon25 code at checkout (expires</em></strong><em> <strong>July 31st</strong></em>).</p>
<p>(Retail value of $39.50)</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/thermos.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img title="thermos" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/thermos.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="472" /></a></p>
<p><strong>VivaTerra Flowered Thermos</strong></p>
<p>This lightweight, reusable enameled picnicware from<a href="http://http://www.vivaterra.com/dining-kitchen/drinkware/flowered-thermos.html"> VivaTerra</a> is 34 ounces of double-walled thermos heaven. An antique look bows to a long gone era’s ornate enamelware design but still borrows from today’s technology to keep liquids hot or cold for many hours. Which, when you&#8217;re enjoying the beach all day and need liquids, this is vital (so is looking stylish drinking from this while there).</p>
<p>(Retail value of $55)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/amend.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-87682" title="amend" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/amend.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="442" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Blissoma Amend, Antioxidant Sprayable Lotion</strong></p>
<p>The last thing we want to promote is ruining your delicate skin, and the summer sun will take your luster away if you let it. <a href="http://www.iriestar.com/amend_antioxidant_sprayable_lotion.html">Irie Star let us give you Blissoma&#8217;s Amend</a>, an antioxidant spray lotion designed to replace those sticky aloe gels with a power-packed formula of superfoods and herbs to regenerate skin. Organic Rooibos tea, Acai oil, organic Linden flower and Comfrey soothe and rebuild skin cells to be more resilient to resisting UV damage. Soak its minty-fresh cooling sensation in, sister.</p>
<p><strong><em>Go to the Irie Star site now and get 2o% off Amend with EcoSalon code at checkout (expires</em></strong><em> <strong>July 31st</strong></em>).</p>
<p>(Retail value of $16.99)</p>

<p><strong>Pawling Print Studio&#8217;s Geometric Notebooks</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes sitting under a shady beach umbrella or taking a hike on your favorite trail gets you inspired. <a href="http://shop.pawlingprintstudio.com/product/2-notebooks-geometric-no-2">Pawling Print Studio&#8217;s</a> notebook will help you make those thoughts linger in private (we hope) infamy. Their 32-page notebooks are printed with soy-based inks onto a chipboard cover and feature a wrap-around, hand drawn geometric illustration. The Box will have two of these mini notebooks which are perfect to jam in your back pocket or beach bag.</p>
<p><strong><em>Go to the Pawling site now and get 15% off these notebooks with EcoSalon code at checkout (expires</em></strong><em> <strong>July 31st</strong></em>).</p>

<p><strong>Coola Chemical Free Sunblock</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.coolasuncare.com/body/sunblock-spf-30-unscented" target="_blank">Coola’s mineral sunblock</a> with an SPF of 30 is a sheer and natural mineral sunblock that delivers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection for the whole body. Says Coola: “This unique formula gives your skin an army of time-released Vitamin C – nature’s powerful antioxidant that helps reduce visible aging by battling damaging free radicals.”</p>
<p>Rated by EcoSalon Beauty Editor <a href="http://ecosalon.com/15-fantastic-online-boutiques-for-eco-beauty/">Katherine Butler</a> as one of her top eco-friendly suncare products!</p>
<p>(Retail value of $34.00)</p>

<p><strong>FluffyCo T-shirt</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.fluffyco.com/28-premium" target="_blank">FluffyCo’s</a></strong> premium apparel line unites organic cotton and eco-heather blends printed with FluffyCo’s signature graphic prints. Printed in small batches in the Bay Area, some styles using water–based inks. All shirts have a fabulous soft, luxe feel and cute hand–printed hangtags. They did this adorably hip bird pattern tee on an eco-heather <strong>exclusively</strong> for The Box and we now love them even more (if that&#8217;s even humanly possible).</p>
<p>(Retail value of $34.00)</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/skincando.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img title="skincando" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/skincando.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="217" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Skincando Luxe Brew Lip Balms</strong></p>
<p>Each <a href="http://http://www.skincando.com/luxe/">Skincando</a> lip balm is filled from small hand spun batches and is guaranteed to give your lips a magical glow. We loved how they were described to us from the company as smelling and tasting like Pizzelle cookies. The key essential oil in the balm is Myrrh, which has been used by royalty for centuries to heal and beautify the skin. I imagine this might be the best pre, during and post sun lip balm we may ever try.</p>
<p>(Retail value of $15)</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/ado5.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-87689" title="ado" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/ado5.jpg" alt="" width="334" height="126" /></a></p>
<p><strong>$50 Gift Certificate From A.D.O. Organic Clothing </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.adoclothing.com/">A.D.O.</a> designer Angelika Krishna infused her spring line with impressionistic pastel hues derived from turmeric, sandalwood, pomegranate and Indian basil. 100% Organic knits and cottons are then treated to Ayurvedic ingredients to make buttery yellows, summer blues and hues derived naturally, from nature. The end product is a non-toxic, sustainable soiree of comfortable, breathable separates for spring and summer. $50 towards a beautiful dress or breezy tunic will go a long way here towards having something extremely beautiful in your warm weather wardrobe.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Global Girlfriends: How One Mom Made It Her Business To Help Women In Poverty Worldwide</span></strong></p>
<p>From the Global Girlfriend site: &#8220;In 2003 <a href="http://https://www.globalgirlfriend.com/gifts/item.do?siteId=344&amp;itemId=44608">Global Girlfriend</a> founder Stacey Edgar had a $2,000 tax return and a deep desire to help provide economic security for women in need. She knew that of the 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 per day, seventy percent are women. What she didn&#8217;t have was a business plan. Or a passport. But that didn&#8217;t stop her from creating a socially conscious business that has helped poor women in five continents feed their families and send their children to school. &#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true, Global Girlfriend has since grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise that specializes in handmade, fairly traded, eco-conscious apparel, accessories, and items made by women all over the world. Stacey&#8217;s Global Girlfriends book is her inspiring story of following ones convictions. Sounds like a perfect summer read while snuggling in a hammock, oh, and then going to take over the world.</p>
<p>(Retail value of $24.99)</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/aurea.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-87701" title="Aurea" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/aurea.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="455" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Aurea Golden Grass Earrings and Mini Box</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aureagoldengrass.com/aureaSlideShow.html">Aurea </a>is a fair trade business that brings jewelry and accessories made of golden grass handwoven by skilled artisans in Brazil to women all over the world. The company sources directly from artisans and producer-owned associations that decide on their prices and are in control of their production. The result is a collection of jewelry that has its own shimmer and shine from nature itself. Sustainable fashion writers Abigail Doan, Kestrel Jenkins and others (cough, us, Sara Ost and Amy DuFault), are often seen wearing Aurea jewelry. Light and pretty, they&#8217;re the perfect piece paired with a pretty summer dress.</p>
<p>The box below is a good place to store them so no sustainable fashion writers can sniff them out and try to steal.</p>
<p>(Retail value of both is $90)</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/Aurea-Mini-box.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-88637];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-87702" title="Aurea Mini box" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/Aurea-Mini-box.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="380" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Aurea&#8217;s Golden Grass Mini Box</strong></p>

<p><strong>Lucy Siegle&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out The World?</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/the-post-recession-fashion-industry-an-interview-with-lucy-siegle/">Author Lucy Siegle</a> is a weekly <em>Observer</em> columnist, an  environmental columnist for <em>Marie Claire</em> and a regular contributor to a number of other publications, television and radio. Her recent book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Die-Fashion-Wearing-Out-World/dp/0007264097"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out The World?</span></a> is a look at the inhumane and environmentally devastating story behind the clothes we so casually buy and wear. Luckily, you&#8217;ll be reading this on a beach coated in non-toxic sunblock and in a skimpy bikini when you get to read about the impact your wardrobe choices make.</p>

<p><strong>Yala&#8217;s Bamboo Dreams Beach Towel</strong></p>
<p>We think something you just can&#8217;t be without this summer is a great beach towel and when we saw these from <a href="http://www.yaladesigns.com/bamboo-accessories/bamboo-beach-towels">Yala</a>, we knew we&#8217;d found the perfect one. Enjoy your time beachside, poolside or at the spa with your own natural towel made from bamboo and organic cotton.   We love the Koi fish swimming among water lilies in cheerful colors. If you choose to purchase The Box, one of these three towel colors will be yours.</p>

<p><strong>VivaTerra Flowered Thermos</strong></p>
<p>This lightweight, reusable enameled picnicware from<a href="http://http://www.vivaterra.com/dining-kitchen/drinkware/flowered-thermos.html"> VivaTerra</a> is 34 ounces of double-walled thermos heaven. An antique look bows to a long gone era’s ornate enamelware design but still borrows from today’s technology to keep liquids hot or cold for many hours. Which, when you&#8217;re enjoying the beach all day and need liquids, this is vital (so is looking stylish drinking from this while there).</p>

<p><strong>Pawling Print Studio&#8217;s Geometric Notebooks</strong></p>

<p>Each <a href="http://http://www.skincando.com/luxe/">Skincando</a> lip balm is filled from small hand spun     batches and is guaranteed to give your lips a magical glow. We loved how they were described to us from the company as smelling and tasting like Pizzelle cookies. The key essential oil in the balm is Myrrh, which has been used by royalty for centuries     to heal and beautify the skin. I imagine this might be the best pre, during and post sun lip balm we may ever try.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Global Girlfriends: How One Mom Made It Her Business To Help Women In Poverty Worldwide</span></strong></p>
<p>From the Global Girlfriend site: &#8220;In 2003 <a href="http://https://www.globalgirlfriend.com/gifts/item.do?siteId=344&amp;itemId=44608">Global Girlfriend</a> founder Stacey Edgar had a $2,000 tax return  and a deep desire to help provide economic security for women in need.  She knew that of the 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 per day,  seventy percent are women. What she didn&#8217;t have was a business plan. Or a  passport. But that didn&#8217;t stop her from creating a socially conscious  business that has helped poor women in five continents feed their  families and send their children to school. &#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true, Global Girlfriend has since grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise  that specializes in handmade, fairly traded, eco-conscious apparel,  accessories, and items made by women all over the world. Stacey&#8217;s Global  Girlfriends book is her inspiring story of following ones convictions. Sounds like a perfect summer read while snuggling in a hammock, oh, and then going to take over the world.</p>

<p><strong>Aurea Golden Grass Earrings and Mini Box</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aureagoldengrass.com/aureaSlideShow.html">Aurea </a>is a fair trade business that brings jewelry and accessories made  of golden grass handwoven by skilled artisans in Brazil to women all over the world. The company sources directly from artisans and producer-owned  associations that decide on their prices and are in control of their  production.

Sustainable fashion writers Abigail Doan, Kestrel Jenkins and others (cough, us, Sara Ost and Amy DuFault), are often seen wearing Aurea jewelry. Light and pretty, they&#8217;re the perfect piece paired with a pretty summer dress.</p>
<p>The box below is a good place to store them so no sustainable fashion writers can sniff them out and try to steal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bear with me as I get <em>gross</em> for a second. Not like tabloid magazine or white pleather loafers gross, but gross nonetheless.</p>
<p>You know the times you&#8217;ve run a fingernail down the side of your face and small bits of face have rolled off with it? The ick factor is huge, right? And most of that ick is dead skin.</p>
<p>Sure, you can moisturize with the best organic lotions out there. (And for the best green lotions to use, click <a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/get-your-green-face-on-best-eco-moisturizers-for-winter/" target="_blank">here</a>.) But those dead skin cells have to absorb the lotion before it can penetrate the skin underneath.</p>
<p>No amount of organic skin lotion is going to raise your skin cells from the dead. But before you conduct a green funeral for your face, try sloughing off with your best tool of choice &#8211; a scrub.</p>
<p>Bringing out the healthy, <em>alive</em> layers of skin on your face will improve your skin immensely. You&#8217;ll be less prone to break outs. Your skin will be smoother and have a healthier glow.</p>
<p>Pick a scrub that can make best friendsies with your skin. It is possible to over-exfoliate so be forewarned! If you over scrub, you can sand paper away the natural, protective barrier of your skin.</p>
<p>For sensitive skin, you&#8217;ll want a gentle exfoliating scrub. If your skin can take a sand blasting, go for the deep pore scrub. Depending on age and sensitivity, some people scrub daily, some only once or twice a week.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Lessen Your Carbon Footprint</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-25010];player=img;"><a href="http://ecosalon.com/renew-skin-8-best-organic-natural-skincare-scrubs/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-25077 alignnone" title="scrub 1" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-1-300x300.jpg" alt="scrub 1" width="300" height="300" /></a></a></p>
<p><a href="http://pangeaorganics-store.sparkart.net/product/scrub-featured-home_page-egyptian_geranium-adzuki_bean-cranberry/egyptian_geranium_with_adzuki_bean_and_cranberry" target="_blank">Pangea Organics Facial Scrub</a> ($32.00)<br />
This gentle scrub is organic and, even better, fair trade. It contains Egyptian geranium with adzuki bean and cranberry. The smell is interesting &#8211; a combination of mud with bits of fruit buried in it. It&#8217;s light enough to use daily but strong enough to feel like you&#8217;re getting a good exfoliation. It is free of parabens, sulfates and any synthetic preservatives.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Brighten Your Face</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-25010];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-25079 alignnone" title="scrub 2" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-2-127x300.jpg" alt="scrub 2" width="127" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.johnmasters.com/efc.htm" target="_blank">John Masters Organics Jojoba and Ginseng Exfoliating Cleanser</a> ($28.00)<br />
This fantastic product contains certified organic jojoba beads (to exfoliate!) and ginseng (to revitalize!). And the best part? It will leave your face noticeably brightened. It seems to contain almost light-reflective properties that sit atop your skin and make it glow.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Pretend You&#8217;re at the Beach</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-3.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-25010];player=img;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25080 alignnone" title="scrub 3" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-3.jpg" alt="scrub 3" width="123" height="270" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.juicebeauty.com/za/JB?PAGE=PRODUCT&amp;CAT=MAIN.TREATMT_EXFOL_PEELS&amp;PRODUCT.ID=34" target="_blank">Juice Beauty Exfoliating Cleanser</a> ($22.00)<br />
This is another gentle cleanser/scrub that has a rich pineapple base. The fresh fruity scent will bring you back to the beachy memories of childhood or that vacation you once went on where you blacked out from pineapple margaritas. It also contains certified organic extracts of white grape and aloe vera.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub for Your Buck</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-4.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-25010];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-25082 alignnone" title="scrub 4" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-4-129x300.jpg" alt="scrub 4" width="129" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.noahsnaturals.com/NoahsNaturalsProducts.shtml#" target="_blank">Noah&#8217;s Naturals Face Scrub with Jojoba Beads</a> ($7.99)<br />
This is a great, all-around scrub. You&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;re getting a good wash while scrubbing out the baddies. It gives off a pleasant, old-school scent that&#8217;s almost floral, without being perfumey. It contains no parabens or sodium lauryl sulfate. It&#8217;s not organic, but it&#8217;s a good choice if you want an affordable, natural cleanser.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Love Your Sensitive Skin</strong>:</p>

<p><a href="http://avalonorganics.com/?id=85&amp;pid=341" target="_blank">Avalon Organics Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub</a> ($16.95)<br />
This product offers up a light, lavender scent. I used it daily for about a week and my skin did feel smoother after a couple of days. It&#8217;s free of parabens and preservatives. It is 100% vegetarian, and contains certified organic ingredients.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Blast Your Skin</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-6.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-25010];player=img;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25085 alignnone" title="scrub 6" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-6.jpg" alt="scrub 6" width="230" height="215" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://global.burtsbees.com/natural-products/face-exfoliants/peach-willowbark-deep-pore-scrub.html" target="_blank">Burt&#8217;s Bees Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub</a> ($7.99)<br />
If you&#8217;re looking for a scrub to really tear it up, this is the product for you. It has a fresh, peachy smell but it does leave a bit of a waxy, leftover feeling. It&#8217;s made from ground peach stone to exfoliate and also contains willowbark, a natural source of salicylic acid. 98.45% natural, it is free of sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, parabens and phthalates.</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Use Daily</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aveda.com/templates/products/sp.tmpl?ngextredir=1&amp;CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY10549&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD10682" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-25086 alignnone" title="scrub 7" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-7.jpg" alt="scrub 7" width="162" height="246" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aveda.com/templates/products/sp.tmpl?ngextredir=1&amp;CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY10549&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD10682" target="_blank">Aveda Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser</a> ($29.00)<br />
This product works really well as a cleanser, but if you want a vigorous scrub, look elsewhere. It is not organic but it does contain &#8220;naturally-derived&#8221; exfoliating beads and certified organic lavender and geranium oils. And it&#8217;s tourmaline charged. What, pray tell, is tourmaline charged? Tourmaline apparently &#8220;acts as a conductor for the plant energy and the crystalline energy, while energizing the skin and boosting it with moisture and vitamins.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Best Scrub to Simply Wash Your Face</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-8.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-25010];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-25087 alignnone" title="scrub 8" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scrub-8-300x300.jpg" alt="scrub 8" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.kissmyfacewebstore.com/detail/KMF+1200040" target="_blank">Exfoliating Wash by Kiss My Face</a> ($15.00)<br />
This scrub&#8221;¦er, wash got high marks for smell. It reminds me of lime and mint, and really makes me want a Mojito. It&#8217;s clean and refreshing, but doesn&#8217;t feel like a scrub.  It works more like a gel and feels gentle on your face. It&#8217;s not organic, but does contain several &#8220;certified natural&#8221; ingredients.</p>

<p>If you live in a place where water likes to go icy, your skin is probably suffering.  Trust me, I know your pain.  You feel like you&#8217;re going to fall into a snow drift, freeze for the next thousand years, and wake up to alien scientists commenting on just how dry your face is.  But worry no more!  Whether your winter involves wind chill or lows in the 50s, we have the moisturizer for you.  So treat your face to our review of these great, green moisturizers.</p>
<h4><a target="_blank" href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh72/EcoSalon/favicon2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.johnmasters.com/mm.htm">Mandarin Maximum Moisture by John Masters Organics</a></h4>
<p>This fragrant, concentrated moisturizer is, in a word, outstanding.  (Did I say outstanding?  I meant amazing.)  It absorbs quickly and doesn&#8217;t leave you with the greased-out feeling that you could cook bacon on your forehead.  It also contains glycoproteins which &#8220;stimulate cell growth for long-term reversal of damage.&#8221;  (Take that, sunspots!)  And you can rest easy with John Masters Organics exacting standards.  It contains strictly organic botanical ingredients. And no artificial products are ever used.</p>
<h4><a target="_blank" href="http://www.juicebeauty.com/za/JB?PAGE=PRODUCT&amp;PRODUCT.ID=39"><img src="http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh72/EcoSalon/favicon2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" />Nutrient Moisturizer by Juice Beauty</a></h4>
<p>This product from Juice Beauty is excellent if you want deep, rich moisturizing results.  It has a sort of neutral scent &#8211; the kind of smell that makes you think there&#8217;s something powerful and vitamin-y in the mixture.  For dry, sensitive, or mature skin, this moisture contains replenishing organic grape juice, vitamin-rich carrot juice and essential fatty-acids.</p>
<h4><a target="_blank" href="http://shop.pureandtrue.com/collections/types?q=Serum"><img src="http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh72/EcoSalon/favicon2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" />Infuse Nourishing Multi-Vitamin Moisturizer by Pure and True</a></h4>
<p>This was the most intense of the moisturizers that I sampled.  In fact, if you&#8217;re suffering from razor cheeks (a loving term for when you get those winter dry patches), this is the moisturizer for you. I just traveled back east to 20-degree weather and got razor cheeks in what felt like a matter of minutes.  (It was more like two days.)  One application of this intense moisturizer cleared it right up.  This product is free of artificial color, fragrances, parabens, petroleum products and toxic synthetics.</p>
<h4><a target="_blank" href="http://www.juicebeauty.com/za/JB?PAGE=PRODUCT&amp;CAT=MAIN.GREEN&amp;PRODUCT.ID=201"><img src="http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh72/EcoSalon/favicon2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" />Green Apple Antioxidant Moisturizer by Juice Beauty</a></h4>
<p>This moisturizer lives up to its green apple moniker by being amazingly fruity and sweet-smelling.  If you are into natural fragrances, then this is the product for you.  It is very creamy &#8211; use it sparingly, because a little goes a long way.  It contains antioxidant-rich organic apple and grape juices.  And it combines these organic nutrients with enzymes to even your complexion.</p>
