My favorite winter essential is beeswax-based lip balm. My lips get terribly dry, especially in the winter so lip balm is a must.
Tweeted & am now following you
Blogged about this giveway here http://coloradouncouture.blogspot.com/2011/12/herban-reflections.html
All signed up for this newsletter thanks to this post and am currently enjoying the archives! Thank you!
I’m just learning which natural products to use to help my skin, as I am slowly switching away from the commercially prepared stuff that’s full of the bad chemicals. So far, I’ve started to incorporate shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil into lotions and I like the effect. I can see how these, especially, can help in the winter.
My winter essential is an oil/essential oil blend for my face. I usually use jojoba oil and a either rose hip oil or grapeseed. Plus I add a bit of tea tree and lavender.

my favorite quick fix is, like many others have mentioned, coconut oil. i also enjoy making lotion bars with shea and cocoa butter, sunflower, almond, and/or other oils, and a hint of beeswax. i also think i’d probably wither up and die without my homemade lip balm : )
as a relatively new member of the natural/organic/holistic community, i love reading the mountain rose newsletter and the facebook updates… and of course, this blog : )
Coconut oil is one of my Winter essentials.

So my favorite winter essential for healthy skin is a chamomile-based lotion for my dry skin, it is really a must in the winter for me. I’m not sure why chamomile, but if I use something without it, it’s just not as good.

I love making lotion sticks with Tea Tree and Rosemary Essential Oils. Not only does it help with my dry skin but it also helps keep the nasty bugs away. (Yep, still having bug issues here in Florida!)

My favorite winter time skin care would probably have to be a few things. I have a procedure in how I do them also. I make a skin scrub with brown sugar, oil (of your so desire), and a dollop of honey mixed together (and if you have it an essential oil of your choice). I like to give my whole body a vigorous scrub while in the shower. My skin feels super soft and moisturized afterwards. Then I like to give myself a splash of rosemary tea as a toner. (it also works wonders for your hair!) Finally I like to finish off with a homemade lotion made with lavender hydrosol, beeswax, olive oil, and lavender essential oil.
Look forward to reading more blog posts!

My winter essential for healthy skin is to drink lots of water and to use olive oil on my skin. I have pretty senstive skin and my legs especially will break out if I use lotions.
So stoked about this give away!
My new favorite winter skincare essential is a salve that I made using your oil infusion tips: calendula infused olive oil with coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Love it!

I ‘liked’ you on Facebook, under my company page – Ritual Tranquility (my focus is on herbal manicures and pedicures).
My favorite winter beauty essential is coconut oil. I keep it in a small jar in the shower and lather it all over at the end of the shower. A friend of mine calls oiling up in the shower “Lazy Lotion”.
I love using olive oil and lavender essential oil as an after bath moisturizer in the winter.
I also tweeted and facebooked about the giveaway and I like you on facebook!

Very cool giveaway!! I just signed up for the newsletter. Still don’t have a favorite winter routine as I’m just getting started in making my own, but am really enjoying it. Getting better every week.
For this winter’s weather I’ve just started using coconut oil as my daily moisturizer! It works so well, and I love the uplifting tropical smell of coconuts that lingers for awhile after I use it.
I have also mentioned this giveaway on Facebook and Twitter.
I’m pretty excited about it too, because my sister and I just received our order this morning from MRH that contains some of these ingredients. We’re planning on making some peppermint lip balm to give as gifts this week!
My favorite product to use in the winter is organic coconut oil. I use it on my skin and as a deep conditioner for my hair. Not only does it make my hair and skin soft I smell like I’ready for the beach.
Shea butter, drinking water and using my handmade soap! Shared this on my Facebook page-Sweet Pine Soaps. Thank you! Love Mountain Rose!
Just liked on Facebook!
I make a moisturizing facial toner that includes lavender hydrosol and witch hazel.

This might horrify some of you, but emu oil gets my hands through the winter. My hands crack and bleed normally, and it keeps them soft as can be. I just discovered Mountain Rose Herbs a couple of months ago, and I ordered the supplies to try and make some lotion bars that will include emu oil and other healing oils. Can’t wait to make them this week!

I have always wanted to make lib balm! To keep my skin healthy in winter I depend on lots of water and tea! I also use a locally made body balm on my hands every night. I use olive oil on my hair when it is still damp and also rub it on my hands when cooking!

My skin gets very dry in the winter and I just discovered dry skin brushing! I brush my skin before getting in the shower, then use good moisturizing lotion with calendula after I dry off. As for the skin on my face, I like a good cooling face wash like olive oil and tea tree. My skin feels so soft and clean after ‘washing’!
I love using the oil cleansing method all year long but especially in the winter !!

and my favorite thing for my skin in the winter is pure coconut oil! i use it as a makeup remover and as a moisturizer.
I love making lip balm and other homemade products – your supplies are the best! I subscribed to your newsletter.
My favorite winter essential for healthy skin is jojoba oil. I have oily skin, and this jojoba is just the right balance – heavy enough to really moisturize, but light and silky so it doesn’t leave my face feeling even oilier. I also love splashing my face with some warm chamomile tea – I think it’s lovely and soothing on winter skin.
