Simply Divine Botanicals: Affordable & Effective All-Natural Skincare that Incorporates Ancient Recipes, Herbal Know-How, Essential Oils - & Even Includes a Dose of Unconditional Love & Some Reiki Too. FASHIONTRIBES BEAUTY BLOG

I love-love-love Simply Divine Botanicals - SimplyDivineBotanicals.com. Love. Did I mention I'm fond of Simply Divine? Not only are all of their products are all-natural & wonderful-smelling, but they actually do what they're supposed to.

Crafted in small batches by master herbalist Barbara Rogers - a natural healer dedicated to health & healing - everything is infused with an extra dose of love, good intentions & Reiki energy...and really, who couldn't use a little extra help from above? Celeb alternative healer, author & internationally renowned authority Dr. Gabriel Cousens also loves her stuff: "The main principle in offering these skin care products is the suggestion that we can honor ourselves by using them, increasing our outer radiance as a reflection for the inner radiance. It's a real gift that she's given us."

While I'm all about inner radiance, I still have to look at my mug in the mirror in the morning. Here are some Simply Divine faves that vastly improve matters:

• PACK YOUR BAGS, THEY'RE LEAVING Created to get rid of unwanted puffiness around the eyes, this combo includes cucumber, ionic gold, seaweed, grapefruit seed extract and apparently helps strengthen your kidney function by working on the kidney meridian (responsible for those pesky eye bags to begin with). Customers truly rave about this product, & Simply Divine encourages you to put it to the test & try it around only one eye - so you can see the difference for yourself.
• HONEY I SHRUNK THE PORES! This dense, honey-rich exfoliating mask is loaded with fruit enzymes like papaya that disinfect, moisturize & get rid of those dead skin cells that come between you & glowing skin. I myself am obsessed with this product & pretty much push it on anyone that'll listen.
• FACE THE DAY! FIRMING C-WEED SERUM & PLUMP UP THE VOLUME! The life of seaweed is a good one: to float about all day, soaking up rays and becoming loaded with a myriad of proven skincare benefits. The type of seaweed Simply Divine uses is extremely costly & efficacious, & takes 1000 pounds from the plant's central vein to create 1 pound of extract. Because it's similar in composition to human blood plasma, the vitamins, minerals & antioxidants are readily absorbed. First apply Face the Day!, let it dry & then "activate" it with a spritz of Plump up the Volume.
• KEEPING ABREAST OF IT! An amazing, timely forumula which encourages lymphatic drainage for women with breast tissue issues, guys with testicular issues, and anyone with concerns such as post-op lymphedema, or even swollen ankles.
• YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING This spirulina-based daily supplement is loaded with MSM, the most abundant mineral in your skin, hair, nails, joints & muscles - which is why it's also known as the "beauty" mineral. It also helps boost your immune system & eliminate toxins. Tip: it can be a bit of an "acquired" taste, so I've have better luck, tastewise, mixing it into juice.
• CAN'T DECIDE? TRY A GET ACQUAINTED KIT. Contains Pack Your Bags, their signature Creme de Rose, Body Butter, Honey I Shrunk the Pores & other delights.
