This Mother’s Day indulge your mom with a gift of love, happiness and youth. Pangea Organics is pleased to announce the launch of its two new performance enhancing, Ecocentric skincare products– introducing the Himalayan Geranium & Pomegranate Balancing Oil ($50) and Turkish Rose & White Tea Eye Cream ($55).



Balance Your Life ($50)

We all need a little balance in our lives – especially moms! Enhance mom’s natural beauty with the organic ingredients found in the new Himalayan Geranium & Pomegranate Balancing Oil. Think of it as a "conditioner" for mom’s face. It nourishes and supports the outer layers of the skin by filling in gaps between the cells, drawing moisture, vitamins and healing ingredients into the skin, essentially creating a protective barrier. Help mom protect and preserve her skin with the new Himalayan Geranium & Pomegranate Balancing Oil

Crème De La Cream ($55)

A rose a day keeps the fine lines away, which is what moms will find in the new Turkish Rose & White Tea Eye Cream. Suitable for all skin types from delicate to demanding, rose oil is best known for its healing, beautifying and anti-wrinkle properties. Packed with antioxidants, cell regenerators and anti-inflammatories, moms can combat the signs of aging – and that’s a beautiful thing!

Make Your Salon Treatments Last

Want to get the most out of your professional primping during these economic times? Well, stretch your dollars by stretching the weeks between your salon visits. Renowned Italian hairstylist, Riccardo Maggiore of Riccardo Maggiore Salon in New York City, suggests trying these at-home maintenance tricks.

Haircut: Visit an experienced stylist and get a precise cut. If you have short hair, which often requires monthly appointments, go with a style that grows out well. After a haircut, keep your ends hydrated by using a daily leave-in conditioner. If ends look frizzy some days, work in a small amount of shine-enhancing oil to smooth them.

Blow Out: if your hair tends to naturally get oily, use a shampoo that will help to control and remove excess oil. To boost limp hair, spray a volumizing spray at the roots, and then use a blow-dryer for lift. Tame stray hairs with a flat iron or curl them with a curling iron.

Hair Color: To keep your shade luminous longer, use shampoos and conditioners formulated for colored-treated hair. Also, consider using a gloss treatment that will coat and protect your hair, and help in preventing any existing color from fading.

Review: Noah's Naturals

Noah's Naturals is a family of natural and organic beauty care brands offering luxurious formulas with indulgent fragrances that are all good! Each product is formulated with natural ingredients and essentials oils to provide you the best quality products available to the mass marker. Your body, hair and face will love you for it!



I love natural skin care products with one caveat - they have to work! The
Noah's Naturals line is formulated with the highest quality ingredients on Earth. None of their products contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, phthlates, propylene glycol, petrolatums, artificial colors, animal derived ingredients or testing.

Noah's Naturals Exfoliating Face Scrub ($7.99) is a rich and creamy facial scrub that is infused with Vitamin E and Jojoba beads. It has a fabulous scent that I find relaxing. It gently sloughs off dead cells and unwanted debris without irritation. This is one of the few products I use in conjunction with the Clarisonic, which helps prepare my face for the application for serums and lotions. This product is ideal for dry, oily and combination skin.



Noah's Naturals Toner Mist ($7.99) is enriched with floral and herbal extracts to stimulate and brighten the complexion. Not only it is hydrating, but the scent is uplifting. It's definitely a great pick me up!
