Ahhhh... June! The days are getting longer, the nights balmy and we find ourselves digging through boxes and closets for those shorts, bathing suits and sundresses. After months of hibernation under layers of silk, wool and microfiber, it's time to emerge from that comfy cocoon, strip down and finally show some skin!

Skin - our largest organ. The most prized and desired of all physical attributes: clear, smooth, firm, radiant skin. Beautiful skin bespeaks of inner health, youth and vitality. Ask any woman no matter what her age which physical trait she would like to improve and aside from weight loss, more beautiful skin would top the list. From Botox to Oil of Olay, the skin industry is worth billions of dollars per year. Type the word 'skincare' into Google and you will get 1,770,000 hits. Yikes! So what's with our obsession with our skin?

We women have been fiddling with our skin for centuries. Cleopatra used aloe vera, Marie Antoinette, a legendary beauty, made her own facial mask (we'll give you the recipe) :-), Helen of Troy; 'the face that launched a thousand ships' bathed in milk and Napoleon's Josephine cultivated 250 different kinds of roses to make rose water for her daily regimen.

In this issue, we explore the many facets of skin... everything from toxic tattoos to a diet for divine derma, the latest news about sunshine preventing skin cancer and information about our exciting new all natural skin cream - Essential 10 and body bar - Essential 50 which we've been testing for more than two months and are convinced to be the best products we've ever used.

So get out there and show some skin - it's the ultimate fashion statement and looks great in any outfit!

Until next month,

Warmest Regards!
