holiday gift guide: give Weleda


Every mom needs a little R&R now and then (actually more now, than then). But with little time to slip away, we have to make do with the resources at our disposal.
The new Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care Kit from Weleda offers the perfect escape, even in the comfort of your own bathroom. Why pomegranate? Says Weleda's European holistic esthetician Lilith Schwertle, “As we age, our skin’s own rebuilding functions begin to slow. The active ingredients in pomegranate seed oil, including fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, help encourage your skin’s natural regeneration process.”
The kit contains hand cream, body oil and body wash.
Hand Care: It does everything a good hand cream should do--ie, moisturizes skin and makes hands look more youthful--but it smells amazing too! Thanks to those Turkey-grown pomegranates. It's recommended to be used twice daily for four weeks to prevent roughness, but I definitely felt a difference after only three applications.
Body Oil: I typically prefer macadamia nuts that are chocolate covered but those blended into this innovative formula are just as sweet. Apply twice daily to preserve skin's elasticity and firmness. Don't forget your neck and decollete area.
Body Wash: Use it with a loofah in the bath or shower to exfoliate dead skin cells and leave your skin glowing. While you're lathering up, vanilla, sandalwood, blood orange and neroli make it a rejuvenating aromatherapy experience.
Go to Whole Foods or www.usa.weleda.com and stock up on this great stocking stuffer for yourself and your other mom friends.

save your skin


You've got kids and they wear you out. But they wear out your skin too. Suddenly, you have dry skin from running around outside, dry knees from constantly kneeling down to their level and dry hands from washing dishes and giving baths. Thankfully, Jergens has an answer to these skin care problems. New Jergens Sensitive Skin Relief Daily Moisturizer ($5.99) is fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic, and dermatologist tested, plus it's designed to instantly soothe and protect dry, sensitive skin for 36 hours. It's fast-absorbing and super-hydrating so you can apply it and get on with your day (they know we've got lots of other things to do!). Since it's made for sensitive skin, it's even gentle enough to use on the kids--so it's definitely a staple to have in the house. Learn more about this moisturizer or some of the other great Jergens products at www.jergens.com. Or try it yourself at a food, drug or mass retailer in your neighborhood.
