Giveaway Break - Sothys Beauty Garden

Even though Earth Day has passed, it's still exciting to explore new organic skin care lines, such as Sothys Beauty Garden.

Each Beauty Garden by Sothys product contains Sothys exclusive Vegetal Moisturizing Activator (VMA), which is a moisturizing complex derived from three plants (cherry trees, angelica and hawthorn) and combined with glycerin obtained from plants. Researchers have found the VMA increased hydration of the skin by 34%!

Here's a run down of the line:

Helianthus & Walnut Shells Exfoliant
  • A "Green" alternative in skin exfoliation, this delicious face scrub is formulated with walnut shells and sunflower oil for a visibly smoother skin. Soft grains eliminated dead cells, leaving the skin soft and glowing. Price $34
Floral Water with Angelic and Hawthorn
  • A soft and fresh lotion that's ideal for completing make-up or mask removal, as well as well as tone the skin gently and evenly. Price $30.
Milky Body Lotion with Cherry Bud and Lavender
  • A fresh and melting texture for a smooth and quenched skin, this body milk envelops the skin with a veil delicately scented with lavender essential oil. Price $36.
