Sparkle Naturals Skin Care for Tweens Giveaway CLOSED

It seems that there is a great selection of all natural personal care products on the market these days. I think it is awesome that the green revolution has taken off and it is easier to find natural products for babies, young children and adults. However, there is a group in between that seems to have been forgotten. Tweens. At the ages of 9-12, our typical tween will no longer want to use "kid" types of shampoos and soaps but they can't necessarily use adult stuff either. Their bodies and skin are changing which requires something that is formulated just for them. But as their parent, you don't want to buy them something loaded with chemicals which leaves you in a difficult position of wondering what the heck to get for them.

Sparkle Naturals is a brand new line of all natural skin care for tweens and teens. Sparkle Naturals was founded by two sisters who realized there were very few natural products available for the tween market and wanted to fill the gap between natural baby products and adult products. They worked closely with young girls in this age group to produce a full line of beauty items which are not only safe for them, but visually appealing to them as well. I happen to love the bright, fun colors - especially the purple.

At Sparkle Naturals you will find hair care, facial care and bath & body care products all of which are made from non-toxic, organic ingredients and are free of animal products, sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances and artificial colorants. They even have some fun accessories like the Butterfly Bath Sponge that I really want to get for myself. I LOVE butterflies! I also like that a lot of their products like the shampoos and bath gel are available in unscented or "sweet tart." It is nice to have an unscented option for those who might be sensitive to even all natural fragrances. And the sweet tart fragrance is a sweet citrus smell made from 100% pure essential oils.

I also think it is essential for us to teach our children the importance of what we put on our bodies and how it affects us. We're not going to sit down with our babies and lecture them on why we use all natural products for them. The tween years seem like a really good time to start. We need them to understand why they should use all natural products so that they can continue to do this for their lifetime. Sparkle Naturals is a great way to get them involved in their own personal care.

If you are shopping for a young girl, Sparkle Naturals is sure to be a huge hit. These fun, hip products will make her happy while the all natural ingredients will make mom and dad happy.

Good For You Girls Tween & Teen Skincare Giveaway & Discount

As your daughter approaches her tween/teen years, you may find yourself wanting to discuss with her the proper ways to care for her skin. It is not only important to explain to them what they should be doing, like washing and moisturizing, but it is so important to give them the proper tools to do so. You certainly don't want your sweet girl to put products containing toxic chemicals on her skin and unfortunately, it can be hard to find natural alternatives. This is where Good For You Girls comes in!

Good For You Girls is a line of all natural skincare for tween and teen girls. Her first skin care should be safe and natural. Good For You Girls offers premium skincare designed specifically for the unique needs of girls age 9-15. The company was started by friends Kim and Grace who were looking for natural skincare products for their young daughters. Since they did not have any luck finding what they needed, they decided to create their own!

Philosophy At Good For You Girls™, we believe beautiful skin is natural skin. Chemicals found in standard skincare products enter our bodies through the skin. These chemicals are not only irritating to many individuals, but also over time have proved to be harmful. We believe health should never be sacrificed for beauty. We also believe good habits start at a young age. It is our responsibility to educate our children to the dangers of chemicals in the world and in the products they use. At Good For You Girls™, we are committed to making truly effective skincare without harmful or questionable ingredients. Our products contain good-for-your-skin ingredients that are both beneficial and beautifying. By creating Good For You Girls™ skincare, we hope to give girls the confidence to face the world, knowing how truly beautiful they are on the inside and the outside.

In addition to using all natural ingredients, they also make sure to use recyclable packaging and all products are 100% Vegan. The Good For You Girls product line consists of 4 items, all 4 oz each:

Gel Cleanser: soap-free, gel cleanser gently washes away daily dirt and grime without stripping or irritating skin.

Blemish Wash: helps deep clean pores and fight bacteria naturally.

Purifying Toner: Alcohol free toner combines witch hazel, organic aloe vera gel and antimicrobial meadowsweet extract to deep clean pores while soothing organic botanicals like chamomile and calendula help balance skins delicate pH.

Moisturizer: lightweight facial moisturizer absorbs instantly to help protect against moisture loss without clogging pores.

The best way to get started, I think, is to try out the Complete Skin Care Kit. This kit contains 2oz bottles of three of the items mentioned above: the Gel Cleanser, Toner and Moisturizer. "Our simple, three-step process of cleansing, toning and moisturizing will effectively clean skin of impurities, balance pH, and help to protect from the elements leaving only clean, luminous, naturally beautiful skin. These three products are designed to compliment each other and work together harmoniously." The items in this kit should last approximately 4 months.
