Elemis Travel Duo

That's right, we are talking Elemis once again. In honor of Earth Day today, Elemis introduced a limited edition Exotic Lime & Ginger Travel Duo set to benefit CARE's Climate Change Innovation Fund.

Elemis will donate $10 per sale (100% net proceeds!) to CARE's Fund.

Since Elemis is an Earth Conscious skin care brand to begin with, it was only natural for them to get on board.

The Exotic Lime  & Ginger Duo contains essential oils of Citrus and Ginger and is free of silicones, parabens and mineral oils. If you are an avid traveler then the size of these beauties will make your heart  flutter. They fit perfectly into that annoying Quart bag and most importantly they nourish the skin and smell amazing! 

The hand and body wash contains extracts of Thyme, Nettle and Chamomile in a deep cleansing Soya, Wheat and Milk Protein base. The lather was pleasing if I do say so myself. The Hand and Body lotion contains purifying peptide from Moringa Seeds, detoxifying Camphor Bush and skin-smoothing Paracress in a lipid rich Sesame Seed and Shea Butter base. This Dynamic Duo costs $20 and will be available for the rest of April 2010 exclusively at Elemis' online shop www.timetospa.com
Scents such as ginger and lime are definitely the kind that transform your shower into a mini spa visit makes for a delightful morning wake up call. At least that's how it made me feel.
In addition to the smell, the lotion is not greasy. I always feel the need to address the grease factor since so many lotions these days are better off being used to fix a squeaky door. Elemis' lotion quickly absorbed into my legs and arms and provided hours of softness and my hands were residue free  : )
