Gluten Free For Jen was kind enough to review our product and also manage a giveaway for her readers. Here is what she has to say about us. “Does anyone else hate the winter for the massive amounts of dry air? I don’t know about the area you live in but here in the Midwest our winters are cold and dry. As a result I get massively dry skin! Lately I get to a point where it itches so bad that I can barely stand it! So I try to do a bit extra during the winter. One of the things I discovered is body scrubs. While it doesn’t solve my problem completely it does help a lot!

Just because I want my skin to feel soft and not itchy doesn’t mean I want a ton of chemicals though! So I tried Ame Body Care (sponsor). The offer a range of scented body scrubs that are gluten free and organic. First what does Ame mean? Well (sorry can not get the accent mark on there), Ame means soul in French. They use natural ingredients that will hydrate, clean and rejuvenate you skin. The recipes they use are ones that have been passed down from generation to generation and are combined with natural flavors.I received their Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub to try out. When I first opened the jar I could just smell the cinnamon and the pumpkin. It smelt heavenly and actually made me hungry! I could not believe how smooth my skin felt afterwards as well. I was in love! After a week of use my skin has felt more smooth, less dry and less itchy!

Our French Lavender Organic Body Scrub got reviewed by Bullock’s Buzz today. Here is what they have to say about us.

“If there is one thing I love, it is being pampered!  And since I can’t spend the time or the money paying expensive spa’s for their pampering services, I do my own pampering at home. Recently I had the opportunity to try a wonderful body scrub made by âme, and it was the perfect addition to a spa night at home! âme Body Care is well known for their hand-crafted, all natural, certified organic bath and body care products. The proprietary blend of oils used in their products is rich in antioxidants and very close to the oils that are found naturally in our skin. Their ingredients include only natural ones such as honey, vitamin E, organic sugars, salts and essential oils. Without any preservatives, parabens, chemicals or GMO’s (genetically modified ingredients), âme’s products are healthy and nourishing food for the skin.

As soon as the jar of âme’s French Lavender Organic Body Scrub arrived, I knew it was completely different from any other scrub I have tried. First of all, I could smell the heavenly scent of real lavender right when I opened the package. Then, when I opened the jar, I immediately noticed the pieces of lavender flower mixed in with the sugar scrub.  I couldn’t wait to give it a try! The French Lavender Body Scrub is made with only six all natural and organic ingredients: organic sugar, organic oils, vitamin E, honey, real organic lavender flowers and essential oils.  That’s it; nothing more, no ingredients you can’t pronounce, no harsh, unnatural chemicals. Just basic, natural ingredients that are good for the skin and good for the soul!

While lavender is well known for its calming and soothing properties, many aren’t aware that it is also considered anti-fungal and antibacterial as well.  Plus, because of its skin regenerative properties, it is often used in treating wrinkles, acne, and other skin inflammations; as well as sun burn and minor cuts. Add in âme’s blend of organic oils along with the organic sugar, and you get a scrub that leaves your skin smoother, younger, fresher and smelling wonderful. It is an ideal scrub for people with Normal to Dry skin. I found that it only takes a little bit at a time to thoroughly exfoliate your skin.  I simply scooped up a bit with my fingers and gently massaged it into my skin, adding more as needed. As soon as I began rubbing it in my skin, the whole bathroom filled with the heavenly scent of lavender, and that combined with the warm water, instantly had my muscles relaxing and my mind at peace. The scent and oils are absorbed by your skin, so while the actual scrub rinses off easily, your skin is left soft, moisturized and fragrant! Since it does contain a lot of oils and essential oils, it will leave the tub a slippery, so be careful when you use it.

While I have used many scented bath products, rarely do I find one that the scent actually remains on your skin for awhile after you get out of the bath. I was pleasantly surprised to still be able to smell the lavender hours later! I also love how my skin looked healthy and renewed, while feeling soft and silky smooth. This French Lavender Body Scrub by âme is truly one of the best body scrubs I have ever used. âme makes this body scrub in several other scents, as well as a great selection of Bath Salts.
