Recipes: Apple Honey Masque

Here is one of the recipes from the Fall Face Treat Event:

You know fall has arrived when the apples are ready to harvest. Fresh apples make this the perfect time of year to use this beneficial fruit for clearer and smoother skin. Apples contain the alpha-hydroxy acid, malic acid. Alpha-hydroxy acids are known to slough of old tired dead skin cells leaving your skin younger and more radiant, and to stimulate collagen production producing smoother skin. Apples are also rich in antioxidants, Vitamin A and C, to help protect against the signs of environmental damage.

In Season: Southern Snow

Just wanted to post this wonderful picture-- Last week we went down Rt. 5 towards Williamsburg. On the way we stopped by Shirley Plantation, which today is still a working plantation. The cotton was in bloom and it looked like blankets of snow across the fields.

It is really amazing how on this earth there are so many wonderful plants that offer us their gifts each and every year.

Fall Face Treats Event

Thank you to everyone that came to our first Treat event.

We had fun making and learning about seasonal facial masques and of course Jackson Sage products.

Everyone received awesome goodies bag with a 2 oz sample of Jackson Sage Body Cream, sample size soap, and great goodies provided by Whole Foods from vitamins, coupons and even Shampoo samples! (Doggie Sage samples were provided as well for those with pooches!)

Each bag had our special Fall Face Treats Recipe Book that included three seasonal masques that combined the power of fresh fruits and vegetables with the herbal power of Jackson Sage products.

A very special thank you to those that organized and hosted the event- Whole Foods, Stephanie, Beth and Lauren.

Look for more seasonal events in the future!
