Brittanie’s Thyme of Cedar Springs

Special this week: Help for sun-battered skin! Even though our skin prefers a more acidic ph ranging from 4.5 to 5, when we  perspire we give off salt causing an alkaline skin surface which dries out the skin. To help restore normal ph, cleanse & soothe the skin throughout these hot summer days, try our balanced Skin Toners. We use distilled waters for a more acidic ph compared to tap water, in addition to peppermint and sweet orange essential oils for a very refreshed and cooling feeling to the skin. HINT: try storing in your refrigerator in the summer!

Sale Product:  Organic Facial Toners reg/ $7.00  sale/ $5.00

Soul Infusions of Cedar Springs

Assorted teas, herbs and spices for summertime enjoyment. Sun tea bags $3.00 ea or 2 for $ 5.00. Lip balms and lotions as well!
