The weather has turned cold here in Virginia, and with the cold comes dry hands and skin. Several years ago I was introduced to Nature's Common Scents, a small business located in Front Royal Virginia. What I found was a very knowledgeable women who started working with herbs to create lotions and potions for own family. What I liked the most about her products was that she created things that didn't just look and smell good, they were also good for you. An example? She calls her bars of soap "therapy bars" due to their therapeutic properties. She mentions that if her soaps smell nice, that's great, but the scent is a biproduct of her real goal, and that is to produce high quality bars that have healing properties. Our family has tried several of her Therapy Bars, Creams, and Oils over the years, but the favorites are her Comfrey Cream which has been a blessing for cracked, dry garden hands, sunburns, and feet. Her Big Jims Cream leaves a wonderful warm feeling behind that is great on cold winter days and my grandmother (who is 93 and taken care of by our aunt) uses the Skin Replenishing/Anti-wrinkle Oil daily and has soft smooth skin because of it.
If you have a skin ailment her website is chock full of great products to help and she also has a newsletter you can sign up for that is generally loaded with the latest in skin and health discoveries.
Lastly, every time I have called with a skin problem a friend has had, she has been wonderful at recommending something. At my last job, one of the ladies in the office had a dog who had developed open sores all over its body that vets had no idea how to heal... no drugs or medicines helped. She bought some cream from NCS and a couple of weeks later came in an informed me that the sores had all healed up and gone away. Now? She uses the cream on her own skin!
