I recently found a site that has some great products and a wide variety of products. It is called Mountain Rose Herbs, they carry bulk spices and herbs, teas and tea supplies, aromatherapy and essential oils, bath and body care and natural health care. It has something for everyone. This goes along with my year of discovering things that are natural and good for my skin, body, and the environment.
I really pampered myself with this amazing Herbal Facial Kit. It was so nice to spend so much time on myself. It was really rejuvenating. Here is what the kit includes:
Herbal Steam - Open pores with skin nourishing plant oils.
Cleansing Grains - Gently exfoliate dead skin and clear pores.
Green Clay Mask - Absorb toxins, stimulate circulation, and deep clean pores.
Wild Rose Facial Oil - Moisturize, protect, and balance your skin.
Rosewater Toner - Invigorating astringent to tighten pores and seal in moisture.
Instructions are included with the kit which made it easy for me to do each step. The first thing I did was put some of the organic herbs in a pan of water and let it boil and then covered the pan to leave the herbs to step. Then I put my face over the pan and let the steam nourish my skin. Next was the cleansing grains mixed with some of the herb water. Then the clay mask. That made my skin feel nice and tone. The mask was pretty easy to wash off and didn’t leave a film. Then I put a little Rose Oil on my skin and then a spray of Rosewater Toner to tighten my pores. This was such a great way to spend my morning. It was nice to pamper myself. There are enough ingredients in the kit I received to do five facials. What a luxurious and fun gift idea this would be! The ingredients are beautifully packaged in a decorative box created out of recycled board stock, wild grass paper, and finished with a twig closure.
Mountain Rose Herbs has roots which reach back to 1987 when Rosemary Gladstar (respected, loving and published herbalist and educator) created a business for the purpose of providing her herb students with necessary supplies. All of the products processed and offered by Mountain Rose Herbs are handled, analyzed and supervised by a full time quality control department. Every aspect of all our products, from the procurement, and the receiving, to the processing and packaging, is done in accordance to strict quality control and organic handling procedures. The products we offer you are guaranteed fresh, fragrant and colorful, and unlike traditional suppliers of herbal products who keep their merchandise stored in warehouses for several years, Mountain Rose Herbs will never sell or stock products that are more than a few months from harvest (except for seasonal items). This in itself guarantees you a fresh, and effective botanical preparation. Since 1987 Mountain Rose Herbs has placed a priority on our general health and well-being, and in this time we have completely removed all conventionally grown materials from our product line entirely.
You can find all of their products here online. They are easy to purchase on line and are shipped right to your door. I am sure you can find something for everyone at Mountain Rose Herbs.
