Gardening Skin Care Tips from Eco-Friendly Brand, Tilth Beauty

 ***Complimentary product received in exchange for an honest review***



The September sun is shining and the garden is in full bloom. The work of a gardener is never done and long days in the garden can damage skin if precautions are not taken.

Skin Care Scientist and Tilth Beauty Creator, Tony Vargas, lists below a few important tips for those who love to garden to keep skin looking its best from now into the autumn season.

Tip #1: Covering skin is the key to protecting it. Apply a zinc-oxide based sunscreen and wear long clothing, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect skin. Sunscreen should be reapplied every few hours so keep it in the gardening basket and apply another layer during a break. If possible, stay in the shade as the sun moves across the sky.

Tip #2: Garden gloves protect hands from burrs and thorns, keep them clean, and prevent sun exposure. However, you should still apply sunscreen to the backs of hands because the gloves will come off at some point. Use a water-resistant sunscreen so the garden hose will not wash it away. When reapplying sunscreen to other parts of the body, apply some to the hands as well.

Tip #3: After coming in from the garden at the end of the day, hop in the shower and get clean. The Tilth Beauty Deep Cleansing Lotion, featuring tangerine peel oil, purifies skin while jojoba seed oil balances oil production and provides barrier protection that skin needs when exposed to the elements. After patting skin dry with a towel, apply the Aloe Restorative Toner which works at the cellular level.

Tip #4: Sun and outdoor air can dry skin so apply a thin layer of body lotion to rehydrate it. Avoid chemical versions and choose botanically-infused lotion, a product near and dear to the hearts of gardeners. Macadamia nut oil, aloe vera juice, and honeysuckle extract are a few of the substances that give thirsty skin the hydration it craves and are found in the Tilth Beauty Hydration Body Lotion. Massage this into skin ones or twice a day to keep it soft and nourished.

My Thoughts 

Tilth Beauty sent me a few items to try for myself and I was pretty impressed with the results. These are the two items I got to try.
 


Using nature’s seeds and jojoba esters, this exfoliating formula cleanses and revitalizes as it gently removes dull and flaky skin to reveal a healthier complexion.
Active ingredients include: Yellow Corn Kernel Meal, Date Seed, Poppy Seed, Jojoba Esters
$38

 This is a pretty unique product unlike anything else I've tried before. The exfoliater comes in a container similar to a powder dispenser. Inside your find what is mostly ground up seeds. When mixed with a little water or your favorite cleanser and rubbed against the skin, it provides a powerful exfoliating experience that leaves your skin soft and smooth, without any worries of harsh chemicals.  You only need a little bit so one container will last for a quite a long time.



The antioxidant-rich lotion soothes and hydrates, leaving skin soft, supple and rejuvenated with ingredients to promote even tone and firmness.
Active ingredients include: SOLaleur® (Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil), L-carnosine Benfotiamine (Patent-Pending Chiral Ingredient), Avocado Oil, CytokinolTM (Hydrolyzed Casein, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Lysine HCI), Panthenol, AquaCacteen ( Cactus Stem Extract)
$32

I loved the feel of this gentle hydrating lotion. Its so silky and smooth. You will notice a difference as soon as it touches your skin. It rubs in easily, leaving behind no films or greasy residue, and it leaves your skin rose-petal soft. The scent is light and not overpowering. It is great for combination skin. The cream is made with natural ingredients like Aloe, Cactus Extract and Honeysuckle flowers. So you don't have to worry about what kind of chemicals you're putting on your skin.
