I can truly say your soaps worked like magic on my skin. =) I followed your tips regarding shaving. I usually use Gillette shaving cream, the one with Vit E and moisturizers. After shaving, when my legs are rinsed off with water, it would start to itch. So most of the time, after shaving, I would usually have these scratch marks that look like rashes on some parts of my legs. Sometimes, if it’s really itchy, I can’t help but scratch them until they get irritated then they would end up as ugly dark scars. I feel like I don’t have a choice. Waxing is expensive plus I don’t have the time. So when I learned about your soaps and read your website, I got so excited and couldn’t wait to try them out.
True to your word, the soaps worked like magic! When I tried using Olive Beauty as my shaving cream, I was soooo surprised! I didn’t feel any itching on my legs, even after I bathed. I was expecting it to happen, kind of dreading the moment, but none! I was sooo relieved that, finally, a soap that works for my skin!!!
I even tried Dove as my shaving cream since it contains 1/4 moisturizing cream, as what they say, but it didn’t work. It doesn’t have the kind of moisturizing effect that Olive Beauty has. I literally compared the two products. I just wondered why Dove wasn’t moisturizing my skin after rinsing it off since, during shaving and bathing, the soap really felt thick and creamy. Naturally, I felt like it was really going to moisturize my skin, but it didn’t. =(
With Olive Beauty, it’s so light and it just glides on my skin. Lesser soap suds, too. I was even hesitant at first and, as I mentioned earlier, I was already expecting the itching to happen because I don’t see and feel the usual thick and creamy soap I was used to. Psychological effect… maybe? Hehehe! Yippy! No itching!!! Especially when the hair starts to grow back after a day or 2, that’s when the itching gets worse. But to my surprise, my skin actually feels good.
Another thing I noticed too, even if I don’t put lotion on and I would scratch my skin, there are no white visible marks of dryness. So it’s really moisturizing! Proven and tested. Very happy with the results. Plus, it’s economical, too. I think it even cured my skin asthma because, ever since I used the soap, my skin got better. I was really excited because, for the first time, I finally found the perfect soap. =)
I love the Baby Salve, too. I use it as a moisturizer on my face at night and I use it on my daughter if she has insect bites, booboos or any redness on her skin. I also use it if my skin starts to itch for no reason at all. I do get this sometimes (and I guess dust particles causes this). I just put on Baby Salve and, in a few minutes, the itching would subside. Another magic. Hehehe! Plus it’s so handy, too. I don’t leave the house without it.
So, a BIG THANKS and TWO THUMBS UP to Darlene of ByNature Products, for the patience and continuous research & development of products I happen to fall in-love with in a matter of days, and, of course, for the benefits it brings my skin, our skin and other people as well. I can truly say, these are the kinds of products worth buying! Cheers!
