Better Looking Clearer Skin with Enriching Body Bar in Citrus Aloe

With six simple ingredients, this small cleansing body bar, offers incredible moisture, skin healing and a refreshing scent that’s perfect all year-round.

This October is a personal month of remembrance for me. It marks ten years since the formidable matriarch of my family, Mary - my grandmother, passed away. Mary was a healer, a mother, a home-maker and a traveler. She introduced me to the many herbs and spices that can be found in nature’s bounty, and for me, she still epitomizes the traditions of the Caribbean.

One of the blessings of having a Caribbean heritage rich with the spoils of nature’s bounty is that I could always find a solution to a skin problem by running to my grandmother who would go to her back yard for herbs or pull her own combination of tropical ingredients from her cupboards. Although, I didn’t know it at the time, this was not so easy for everyone else. Growing up in the UK, I realize that not everyone had the blessing of a Caribbean grandmother who could instantly pick limes from her garden and mix up a recipe to clean and soothe mosquito bites, or know when to heal a cut with a dab of aloe vera. These traditions have helped to form and evolve Calypso Glow into a brand that embraces the traditions of the Caribbean, while paying homage to the women, like my grandmother, who still handcraft the type of remedies that inspire us to create great products for naturally healthier skin.

This month, we’ve put the spotlight on our limited edition Enriching Body Bar in Citrus Aloe.

What makes citrus and aloe so healthy?

Aloe vera is century old go-to natural remedy for many skin ailments from acne to sun burn, psoriasis and everything in between. Aloe vera contains vitamins A, C and E. It is fantastic for stimulating collagen, which is otherwise naturally produced by the body but reduces as we grow older leaving us with fine lines and wrinkles. It also has natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that clear and cleanse the skin without irritation; helping to fight the appearance of fine lines, healing marks and calming irritated skin.

Citrus – our blend of citrus fruit includes limes, grapefruit, and lemons delivering an intense level of vitamin C that stimulates collagen production and helps skin retain elasticity. It brightens and improve the appearance of your skin and rejuvenates skin to reveal a healthy glow. The antioxidant renews skin damage and helps to smooth wrinkles while its amino acids clean, firm and soften the skin. The additional use of essential oils are known to provide cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties, which in a nutshell results in a blend that promotes gentle skin healing.

Here, beauty mavens, are four naturally powerful reasons to add citrus and aloe to your beauty routine...

Together citrus and aloe make a natural complexion clearing bar that promotes healthy glowing skin by:

1. Evening out skin tone and improving the skin’s texture.

2. Promoting a healthier complexion: potent anti-oxidants soothe and heal skin, increase circulation, and fade dark marks. It’s packed with vitamin A, which helps fight acne.

3. Hydrating and locking in moisture: Combined with the soothing power of coconut oil, aloe moisturizes and rehydrates dry dull skin.

4. Providing natural anti-aging benefits that allow the skin to repair, replenish and protect itself.

Though, we are all aware that there are no super solutions or a one-size-fits all in skincare, we do know that these are some fantastic reasons to add citrus aloe to your beauty routine.
