Simply Divine Botanicals is the brainchild of herbalist and natural healer Barbara Rogers (who is also the lady responsible for the first Raw Restaurant in Las Vegas!). One night she had divine inspiration and created her first product, since that point the formulas have kept coming. All Simply Divine Botanicals are handcrafted and Reiki-energized.
Face the Day Serum - developed to reduce UV damage to the face, this serum uses the vein of a rare (and expensive) seaweed to create 1lb of extract. This seaweed contains properties that are similar to blood plasma, and helps the absorption of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Designed to re-hydrate, rejuvenate and firm the face, this serum can be applied morning and night (after cleansing) by spritzing your face and leaving to absorb.
Plump Up the Volume - according to One lucky duck "The seaweed extract in this spray attracts and holds moisture creating smooth and supple skin."
C-Weed Sample Pack - is a sample sized pack with both Face the Day and Plump Up the Volume, great for sampling, gifts or travelling. This is the one we went for way back when Glowgetter still stocked it - if anyone knows of any UK stockists please let us know and we'll update this post.
Face the Day Serum and Plump Up the Volume are designed to work together, but you can use both separately.This pack has had mixed review from all of us at TB&T, in fact we were so divided that we had to leave the product with our friends and family members for their input. Everyone used it for 2 weeks and...well, the results were still as mixed. The ages ranged from 22 - 74, we even got a few guys to try it and ....you got it, still mixed. On the plus side, the combo still got 60% of the vote. Used separately everyone liked the effect of Plump Up the Volume over Face the Day (which only garnered 42% of the vote), noticing immediate effect. Face the Day was more popular with the over 35's, who said that they felt and saw a noticeable difference.
The agreed pro's were that combined they are refreshing and moisturising. Beyond that, differences were only seen in 60% of the group. Not everyone was too sure about the price, yes, we understand that it's expensive to make hand-crafted products using seaweed...but £55 for a bottle is a lot and because of the variation in results it's not something that everyone could agree on (even in the group that saw results while using these products).
Plump Up the Volume was more of an all-rounder, we all loved using it in the morning, it was moisturising and everyone said that it gave their skin a nice glow.
What you shouldn't do with either of these products is apply them after you've come out of the shower. OUCH!! it really does sting, even an hour afterwards. So do be careful!
With all of that said, we appreciated these products during the very cold December that's just passed and Em's brother and his wife said that Face the Day and Plump Up the Volume were great travel aids on their trip to Egypt, providing much needed moisture to the skin in-flight and in the morning and evenings.
