My baby boy has sensitive skin so I’m always on the look out for ways and products to use that will ease any discomfort that he may have. I wash his clothes with special detergent. I use wipes specifically for sensitive skin to wipe his face and bottom. All my sons clothes are completely tag free. I apply lotion to his skin at least twice a day. And during bath time, I use products specifically created to gently cleanses and moisturizes itchy, extra dry skin.

My latest brag worthy skin care products for both mom and baby would have to be from the company Plagentra.They have a entire skin and body product line created specifically to relieve common skin care issues such as eczema, stretch marks, and acne.

This company won awards in…

• Number one in stretch mark care (2011 Korea Satisfaction Consumer Index)
• Number one brand for moms and babies (2010 Korea Satisfaction Consumer Index)
• 2011 best luxury skincare brand (Korean Governments Department of Ministry of Women and Family)

After seeing that these products contain absolutely no steroids, colorants, alcohol, or perfumes, I was quite excited to use them.  I was sent two full sized products to review from this company and several samples of their other products. I picked the Foaming Facial Wash for myself and the Mild Wash to use for my son to share my thoughts on.

The Foaming Facial Wash  is an excellent make up remover and my total go to wash at the end and the beginning of the day. This facial wash is easy to use and very gentle on my skin. It goes on smooth and rinses off very easily which is a must for any foaming cleansers. I can vouch to have had some bad experiences with foaming washes! I’m so glad I had a great experience with this one.

The fine micro beads in this cleanser do an excellent job of exfoliating skin without being to rough removing unwanted dead skin, dirt, and oils.  The scent of this product fragrance free so it’s great for those sensitive to certain smells. My skin looks and feels great after use without sacrificing a thing!  I would highly recommend using the Foaming Facial Wash & after such a great experience with it, I am excited about trying out and using the other Mom offered skin care products such as lotions and soaps!

The Mild Wash I’ve been using on my 10 month old son for a week now and will have to vouch that his skin has been so much better! So much better that I’ve seen no itching or scratching of any kind! I don’t even have to use that much either. I simply use the handy pump top bottle to squeeze about a nickel size amount onto a cloth or my hand to cleanse my son. The wash lathers nicely and rinses just as well. And the scent is very refreshing!

This wash is a great supplemental treatment for moisturizing dry skin, such as atopic eczema in infants and adults, psoriasis, ichthyosis, senile pruritus. And it’s formulated to be the same PH as your skin, our body wash soothes skin while keeping it soft and supple. I would highly recommend this product and I plan on purchasing more soon to use on both my kids!

I would highly recommend checking out this company and am excited Plagentra products are available in the US and Canada! Plagentra has an entire skin and body care system, from lotions to soaps, oils to creams, there’s something there for all your skin needs! If you’d like to try before you buy, you can request FREE SAMPLES right from their website.

Sometimes life stinks but it doesn’t always have to thanks to a great line of air deodorizers by Poo-Pourri! Their catchy slogan reads “Spritz the bowl before you go, and no one else will ever know!” I’ll have to admit I cracked a smile and was totally ready to give this product a try being skeptical all the while.

Poo Pourri is a blend of all natural essential oils that virtually eliminate bathroom odors. Unlike most other odor eliminating products this is to be used before using the bathroom. The essential oils in the formula creates a film on the toilet water surface, effectively trapping embarrassing odors. Flushing releases the odor neutralizing formula into the air leaving the bathroom fresh!

I’ve been getting a lot of use out of the Little Stinker spray because I use a pail to store cloth diapers until wash day. The smell that comes from that pail when I place a dirty diaper in is enough to bring you to tears. I kid you not. It’s a smell no one should have to breath in but yet for the sake of what’s best for everyone I do. Now as I lift to open the pail I spritz the Little Stinker spray and no longer am left gasping for fresh air. Oh, the praises I will continually shout out about these wonderful products from Poo-Pourri.

This product will save you embarrassment and keep your own or someone elses bathroom smelling great. I recommend not leaving home without it! And if you are out of ideas for a house warming gift? These would be perfect!

You can purchase Poo~Pourri products online in various sizes, as gift packs, or in travel sets here. I encourage you to get connected with this company on Facebook to stay up-to-date on special offers, discounts, and new products!

I have a great new natural skin care product to introduce from a company called Sibu Beauty. This company prides itself on containing only the best ingredients such as the powerful and nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berry – harvested exclusively from the Himalayas. Each of their products are paraben-free, cruelty-free and preservative-free and promote improved skin tone, texture and overall healthy aging. I was very happy to see that all of their products rated fantastically on the EWG Skin Deep Data Base (0-1) which is the lowest and safest rating a product can get!

I’ve been using Sibu Beauty’s  Sea Buckthorn Balancing facial cleanser for a few days now and been quite satisfied with the results that I’ve been getting with the product. This particular product is deep yet gentle. The exfoliating properties are obviously there and are gentle enough to not agitate the skin in any way.

Sibu Beauty’s  detoxifying facial cleanser easily removes dirt, impurities and make-up while maintaining a healthy balance in your skin without compromising its natural protective nutrients. After use my face felt fresh & clean throughout the span of the day and I loved how easily it was to use and welcomed the fact that it was a  non-foaming gel. I’ve used other cleansers and the foaming was just a bit too much for my liking.

I found this product on sale for 8.98 on the Supplement Warehouse website for a 4 ounce bottle. It usually retails for 17.99 at other places such as GNC and on the Sibu Beaty website.  On the Sibu Beauty site, you can purchase the product for 17.95 with free shipping and handling charges though if there’s a GNC around you can pop in and see if it’s available to save you the trouble of buying online. I would recommend this product if you are looking for an all natural facial cleanser that is safe for your skin and for the environment around you.
