Alright, it is time for a pop test. No worries, those of you who have been reading Sugarpeel for years will get the answer straight away. The title is a bit vague on purpose. Can you remember which brand was one of my first interviews? I will give you a hint, it was at the Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show. Let’s assume you guessed correctly because after all I have confidence in my Sugarpeeps…ARCONA.
ARCONA is one of my all time favorite brands. When I first saw the brand displayed at the trend show I was struck by the gorgeous packaging, the beautiful natural colors of the ingredients and the intoxicating fragrances. After learning about the unique differentiators of the brand and testing the products more specifically the skincare line, I was convinced of the effectiveness.
Only organic ingredients are used to create each solution based skin, hair, and body care product. ARCONA is free from additives and harsh chemicals. As someone who suffers from allergies and auto immune illnesses this is crucial to my daily life. What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we consume.
Typically, I suffer from dry skin. The winter months are particularly difficult. My lower legs tend to get scaly and flake with the dry skin. No amount of cream or lotion seems to effect longterm change. What was I doing wrong? I was not using products with active ingredients. Thank you to Beauty Journalist and all around beauty guru, Nadine Baggott for showing me the error of my ways. In a recent interview with the lovely Pixiwoos, Nadine explained that exceptionally dry skin needs active ingredients to slough off the dead skin and absorb the moisturizing properties.
Boom! Mind blown. I knew exactly where to look and shop. I found myself searching the ARCONA product line and there it was, ARCONA Pumpkin Body Lotion, 10%. This wonder lotion, contains pumpkin extract and glycolic acid, which not only gently removes unwanted dry scales, but improves the quality of the skin.
Here’s what happened when I tried the ARCONA Pumpkin Body Lotion. I applied a small patch test to the back of my very dry winter hands. Instantly, the lotion absorbed into my skin leaving it bright and smooth without any white flaking. Once that test was a go, I applied all over my body. It has been three days!!! Three! Absolutely, no scales have returned to my skin. The scent is distinctly pumpkin pie with warm cinnamon and clove notes. The ARCONA Pumpkin Body Lotion is now a staple in my winter skin care regimen. The entire line can be purchased on the ARCONA website and at Nordstrom.
