Kimberly
Sayer's passion for organic products and love and respect
for nature stems from her family in England, who used
the same vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs that they
ate with for their skincare and body products. The ingredients
were solely from their organic gardens. Researching the
organic beauty industry in Britain, Kimberly trained with
British skincare expert Michael Winter, UK¹s renowned
aromatherapist.
While
at Beauty Therapy College, Kimberly learned human biology
and beauty therapy treatments. Mastering the science of
skin care using only organic ingredients, her products
are composed of organic bases such as Soy, Sea Algae,
and Shea Butter. Along with other essential ingredients
such as vegetable proteins, essential oils, and anti-oxidant,
Kimberly has been able to create her dream effective affordable
skincare. And now, Kimberly answers your skincare questions

"What
regimen would you recommend for people working outdoors
in the cold and wet?" Jason K , Toronto
Kimberly
Says:
Firstly
I would recommend a moisturizer to protect the skin from
the harsh elements. My light moisturizer is protective
enough to add a nice light layer against the harsh weather
aspects.
Secondly,
if your skin is really dry and chapped I would hightly
recommend using a heavier cream either at night or both
day and night. My aromatic night repair cream is formulated
to repair dry chapped skin, with its base of shea butter.
It also contains botanicals to really hydrate below the
surface layer of the skin. Also, if you have a build up
of dead dry skin cells on the surface layer of the skin,
you cannot hydrate properly as this acts as a dead barrier
against any cream, or moisuturizer. My almond and lavender
scrub was created to fill a void that no other company
has filled. A scrub that is gentle but effective enought
to be used everyday. This will leave your skin soft and
allow the moisturizer and cream to penetrate the surface
layer and heal your dry skin.
Also
recommend an eyegel for fine lines and wrinkles. The triple
plant eyegel contains my patent pending ingredient "plant
psuedocollagen". This tightens and allows the organic
moisuture binding process to happen internally through
natural cell renewal.
