The Body Deli Delights: Solar Defense Day Cream and Glacial Mineral Mud Masque

Here are some more yummy products from one of my favorite organic bath and body care companies - The Body Deli. (Trivia: Did you know that Kate Hudson has named The Body Deli as one of her favorite eco-friendly beauty companies?) I honestly, truly (madly, deeply) love their products. I have been using their Sage and Grapefruit Facial Cleanser and their Creme de la Rose for months now, and they have worked wonderfully, and have never broken me out. I got to try two more of their products, and let me say that I have fallen in love with these as well. The company touts their products as being as wholesome, fresh, and organic as possible, resulting in the most nourishing food for your skin. I realized how "fresh" their products were when they arrived at my doorstep packed in ice! I am impressed that the company has taken extra steps to ensure that the products arrive at my door as fresh and as unadulterated as possible.

Net WT 2 oz.

My take: I'll start with the Solar Defense day cream. I love the fact that it is very light on the skin and non-greasy, which is different from most of the products I have tried with substantial spf. Many women apply eye cream in the morning to moisturize the eye area, but many eye creams do not have spf. Did you know that one of the first signs of aging is having crow's feet at the corners of your eyes? Protect your very thin, sensitive eye area by applying a moisturizing cream with spf properties. I use this cream around my eye area on top of my eye gel, ensuring that my eyes get protected from the harsh rays of the sun. I love the very light feel of this day cream on my face, so people who live in hot, humid climates would love this product.





This spa quality mud masque now makes it possible to give yourself a facial at home. This imported Canadian mineral mud masque is designed to deeply cleanse the pores. This mask draws out excess oil, debris and toxins from the skin, while it helps to shrink and minimize the appearance of the pores.

Net WT 2 oz.

My Take: Wanna have skin that looks poreless, even, smooth? If you do, I highly recommend this product. I just love how poreless my skin (especially my nose!) looks after I use this masque. I apply this once or twice a week after I cleanse my face. Since I store it in the fridge, the cool sensation is absolutely soothing on the skin. I immediately feel the tightening all over my face; in fact, I could actually see the masque literally tightening the skin! I leave it on for 20 minutes, and when I look in the mirror before I wash it off with warm water, I could see dark dots on the masque - that means the masque has drawn out impurities, blackheads, and oil! Yuck! Yes, you could actually see the masque working. After rinsing, get ready to be amazed. You will actually see that your pores have shrunk in size and your skin tone looks more even and smooth. I highly recommend this for those with normal to oily skin, especially those who are prone to blackheads, whiteheads, and large pores.

I guess the only thing that I don't like about the products is that they have a shorter shelf life compared to other beauty products. But what can you say - these products are as fresh as fresh can be. There has to be a trade-off somewhere, right?
Despite this, I still enjoy using the products. Best of all, my skin loves them.
