Candles Being Discontinued……

Country Meadow Ltd. is in the process of being rebranded with a new, updated and modern look!

Over the next several months you will begin to see our new look appear as we gradually change over our labeling and packaging to reflect our new image.

Along with the rebranding we are focusing on marketing specific products and unfortunately discontinuing others.

The first item on our ‘hit list’ is our paraffin candles. As of March 31, 2007 we will no longer offer our paraffin candles as an individual item. They will still be available as a component in our Gift Baskets and Gift Boxes.

Natural Face Masks…..

Facial masks are used in health and beauty spas all over the world and are a great way to cleanse, detoxify and tone your skin giving you a natural, healthy glow.

While it is always nice to treat yourself to a commercial mask you can have fun creating your own at home.

Have some fun…get a few friends together and have a beauty party!

Simple Clay Mask
Fullers Earth, Dead Sea Clay or French Green Clay

Liquid (water, cream, milk)

To 1 tablespoon of clay add enough liquid of your choice to make a spreadable paste. Apply to clean, damp skin and let dry. Rinse and moisturize.

Egg White Mask (good for firming)

White of 1 Egg

1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Combine ingredients until stiff peaks form. Apply to face and let dry. Rinse.

Papaya & Pineapple Mask

¼ cup Papaya Puree

1 teaspoon Pineapple Juice

Mix ingredients and apply to face.  The papaya and pineapple contain enzymes which can help dissolve and lift away dry skin. Due to these enzymes your face may tingle a bit when using this mask. If irritation occurs discontinue. Mask may have a slightly bleaching effect and may be beneficial to help even out skin tones.

Wheat Germ & Honey
1 tablespoon Honey

1 teaspoon Wheat Germ

1 teaspoon Almond Meal (finely grind almonds in a blender)

Combine ingredients and apply to face. Leave on for 20-30 minutes. Rinse.

Peaches & Cream

½ Peach

1 tablespoon Heavy Cream

Mash peach and add cream. Apply to face and leave on for 20-30 minutes. Rinse.

Because these formulas use fresh, natural ingredients they are for a one time application.

(Masks should always be applied to clean, damp skin. Avoid eye area. If irritation occurs discontinue).

Top ‘o the Mornin’ to Ya…St. Paddy’s Day Sale!

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by many of non-Irish descent. Celebrations are generally themed around all things green and Irish; both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food, imbibing Irish drink, and attending parades.

In the United States people celebrate St. Patrick’s by wearing green and drinking at local bars. Irish-American immigrants brought Saint Patrick’s Day to the United States. The first civic and public celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day in the 13 colonies took place in Boston, Massachusetts in 1737.

Today, Saint Patrick’s Day is widely celebrated in the United States by Irish and non-Irish alike. Many people, regardless of ethnic background, wear green-colored clothing and items. Traditionally, those who are caught not wearing green are pinched. (www.wikipedia.com)

Toner Gets a Face Lift….

Our Complexion Toner received a new face lift…..the new label is simple yet effective…just like the toner itself!

Naturally made with patchouli hydrosol, witch hazel, lavender and tea tree essential oils our Complexion Toner has been effective in helping clear up blemished skin in our product testers.

The skin maintains an average ph of 5.5 and is achieved by the body’s own acidic secretions such as perspiration, sebum and various hormones. This acidic layer is what is known as the acid mantle. It helps protect the skin against infection, irritation and dehydration as well as the negative impact of the environment.

Sebum is an oily secretion produced by sebaceous glands, tiny ducts adjacent to hair follicles. Sebum is secreted into the follicle then is spread over the hair and skin. The main role of sebum is to waterproof the skin and hair. Both excess sebum and lack of are undesirable. Excess sebum is associated with oily skin and acne and is common in adolescents. Lack of sebum which is common in middle and mature skin leads to skin dryness and wrinkle formation.

Using a facial toner is good for the overall health of your skin and is used to remove dead skin cells, dirt, oil or any residue left over from using cleansers. Facial toners soothe, nourish, rejuvenate and refresh your skin by tightening pores, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while hydrating giving your face a healthy glow and balancing the skins ph level.

Our facial toners are natural, mild and alcohol free.
