Beautiful Ideas for a Beautiful Body From Burts Bees

Smart guys care about their skin. Hopefully they didn't wait for someone else to give them the Burt's Bees Men's Natural Grooming Kit srp. $25.99. A really attractive, just-the-right-size, black and grey zippered nylon dopp kit, holds five fantastic Burts Bees men's products (*nicely packaged with masculine labels) and featuring fresh, light, herbal scents (thanks to a blend of essential oils). The star ingredient is sunflower oil, good for all skin types but especially useful for oily skin. Every product in this little kit has products that are 100% natural including: a famous, Burts Bees Lip balm plus aftershave 2.5 fl. oz; body wash 12 fl oz; shave cream 6 oz. and a 4 oz solid bar soap (this one's 99.72% natural). The energizing body wash has coconut, sunflower and citrus oils to cleanse skin and start the day with an invigorating scent including cypress and fir oils. It's also Ph balanced, and paraben, phthalate, sodium and lauryl/laureth sulfate free (*all these products are). For guys who just don't "get" body wash, there's also a solid, bar soap. The one in this kit energizes and deodorizes with lemon, orange, and petitgrain oils (to cleanse) and rosemary extract and fir oil for skin that smells great. The Shave Cream - gives a close, smooth shave that's also gentle, with calendula and chamomile reduce inflammation and irritation, and linden extract to soothe and hydrate. And although most of our male reviewers are not terribly excited by aftershave, our male reviewers loved the Aftershave in this kit. It soothes, and helps even the driest, roughest skin with a lightweight , easily absorbed lotion with star ingredients including sunflower and coconut oils, plus soothing and healing aloe and Vitamin E. Many guys like a solid, bar soap, The one in this kit energizes and deodorizes with lemon, orange, and petitgrain oils (to cleanse) and rosemary extract and fir oil for skin that smells great.

If "Santa" didn't bring you any great beauty products, the Burt's Bees, the Overnight Bee-uty Bag $14.99 is still affordable, post-holiday. It has six, travel-sized beauty essentials tucked into an adorable, bright yellow fabric zippered beauty bag with red accents and a sweet little "bee" on the side. The products feature good-for-your-skin softening oils, stimulating botanicals and emollient nut butters! There's a refreshing and soothing, Beeswax Lip Balm and also a nourishing and hydrating Replenishing Lip Balm both in swivel-up form, a Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Lotion (1 fl oz ) with a sweet, vanilla-y scent; a .30 oz Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme, lusciously lemon scented an in a bright yellow tin; a Deep Pore Scrub (0.53 oz) in a tube, with bits of natural peach pits to quickly exfoliate dead, dry skin cells (and willlowbark, Hawaiian ginger, and seaweed to make skin soft and glowing), plus a seriously moisturizing Coconut Foot Creme (0.56 oz) in a tube, to keep heels from cracking and drying out.



You really don't need any holiday or occasion to gift yourself (or a host/hostess) with the Mint Medley Gift Set$20.00. I love this one for couples or families, especially because it has six favorite products, full-sized, and ready-to-share. The theme is peppermint, of course, but the variations keep it interesting. These Burt's Bees products all have peppermint oil or extract, derived from the Mediterranean peppermint plant. Peppermint doesn't just make your senses perk up however, the peppermint herb is valued for its cooling, pain relieving and antiseptic effect. The cello-box with peek-a-boo window houses: a soothing/cooling/refreshing Beeswax Lip Balm tube (.15 oz) ; a Beeswax Lip Balm in a signature, Burts Bees yellow tin (.30 oz); a Fabulously Fresh Body Bar scented with rosemary and peppermint (4 oz); a nicely lathering Spearmint & Lime Body Wash in a flip-top clear plastic bottle (4 fl oz); an uplifting-ly scented and seriously hydrating Peppermint Foot Lotion (3.38 fl oz) (actually, it's more like a soothing ointment/gel) and last but not least a truly refreshing tin of white peppermints, for breath-fresh kisses!

Thanks for the comment. Sometimes the most modestly priced brands surprise you. I have a friend who will only use Burts Bees...that's how beloved it is among it's fans.
