I am always on the hunt for multi-tasking wonders….something that I can pull out and use for everything and anything no matter what.  Well I just discovered a new one ironically called Everything Balm.  The balm is made from what they feel is the most beneficial, sustainable and wherever possible, certified organic advanced natural ingredients in the world. Together these blend into a concentrated, healing, all-purpose balm rich in Omega 3 and 6, natural super-emollients, vitamins and antioxidants. I can tell you, I have used this on a scar I have on my knee, on my cuticles, the heels of my feet, my eyebrows….you name it!  It smells great and the multple uses are a huge bonus point for me.

A few weeks back, I had to opportunity to meet with the founder of Juara Skincare.  The line is 100% vegetarian and the products fuse the active botanicals of Indonesian herbal recipes with Western science. The whole line is fantastic but I am especially partial to the Tamarind Tea Toner.  This toner contains botanicals, including tamarind, tea, and rice. Tamarind is widely used in Indonesia to treat various ailments due to its medicinal and revitalizing properties. In this toner, tamarind works to increase the skin’s hydration level and enhance skin smoothness and suppleness.   This is no ordinary toner tough….it will surprise you.
