BTW, I would highly recommend all the 'FrankEssence' products I have listed, I think they are going to become my HG skin care items. My teen daughter is even stealing use of them in favor of her usual Lush mania. My SIL bought them for me from a local farmers market and they are all handmade locally and priced very reasonably, though not all products suitable for vegans as beeswax is added to the creams. I don't think it's allowed to add links, but google 'frankessence' and the website will pop up.

Spot treatment: Plain old Witch Hazel always does the trick!
