Modest Momma's May Skin Care Products Spotlight

     Nelsons Pure & Clear Purifying Daily Cleansing Wash─ Combining the essential oils of Lavender, Tea Tree, Petitgrain and Grapefruit oil, nestled within a natural seaweed formula, this cleansing wash helps to clear impurities and soothe and restore skin, leaving it feeling cleansed and invigorated. This foaming cleanser can be used individually or as part of the Nelsons Pure and Clear 4-step acne skin care system. The first thing our family noticed about Nelsons Pure and Clear Purifying Daily Cleansing Wash was the scent.  My husband and son appreciated the fact that the scent, while not flowery, was bright, crisp and clean.  As someone who is constantly on the lookout for products without parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, artificial colorants and fragrances, this cleansing wash thankfully contains none of those.  Word of advice─ while this is not a sudsy cleanser, it does not affect its cleansing ability.  Our skin, after a month of use, felt smooth, clean, while maintaining adequate moisture.  Nelsons Pure &  Clear Purifying Daily Cleansing Wash retails for $10.95, and it can be purchased at Whole Foods Markets nationwide.  For further information, please visit their website at:
