Summer is right around the corner and although the weather is a bit disappointing at least my garden is looking lovely.
We have been taking part in numerous craft fairs & Town fairs throughout the Lakes. It’s such a pleasant experience and I really enjoy meeting new people, it’s one of the perks of what I do. Our products have been gaining attention especially from individuals with skin conditions. We have gotten an overflow of positive feedback and requests for more and more items. Currently we are working on a skin cream specifically for eczema as that seems to be a condition that affects most of our customers.
One customer’s nine month old daughter, who suffers from severe eczema and is allergic to most ingredients in over the counter creams, had a really bad reaction to a product which was prescribed by her GP. Her mother came to me as a last resort. I saw the little angel and could see she was very uncomfortable, this child had really sensitive skin, it looked raw. I gave her mother one of our blue mountain coffee soaps to try and made her my skin cream. I told her if her daughter is not allergic to the soap, use it everyday and moisturize with the skin cream. If she had a reaction to the soap, then use the cream on it own. After two weeks of use we saw positive results. I then told her to see if there were certain foods that her baby may be allergic to and limit or eliminate them from her diet. I must stress the cream will work but, having a healthy balanced diet and drinking water over sugary drinks will keep the eczema at bay. From research and also using my sister who suffers from eczema as a guinea pig, I realized that certain food (even healthy) can cause a reaction. It’s a matter of doing research, testing it and ruling things out. I am a firm believer that food plays a major role in what may affect our health.
Our skin cream will be available on our website next week. If you have any requests please contact us.
