Last month, I completed a series of four Coolpeel™ and two Vivace™ facial treatments at a local med spa. I experienced good results so far and collagen production will continue over the next three-months to a year.
Review – Wholesale Natural Body Care by Deborah Tosline
In 2015, the Environmental Working Group found that women apply “168 chemicals to their faces and bodies every day”. A 2023 study from the College of Charleston, found that “on average, young women use eight different personal care products each day that can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals, but some report as many as 17.” To promote good health (Health = Beauty) it is vital to choose personal care products (PCPs) carefully. I make many of my PCPs including tinctures, serums, oil blends, lotions, creams, masks, and deodorant to name a few. Over the decades, I’ve made conscious decisions to avoid/minimize my exposure to synthetic chemicals making it difficult for me to find retail products that I would use. Every once in a while, I research skin care and this time I found Wholesale Natural Body Care.

Today, I am addicted to my own facial care products. Yes, I love them all, the DIY toners, creams, lotions, deodorants. Love, love, love. I don’t know, on some level it feels like I nurture myself deeply with these beautiful DIY nature-based skin care products and practices.
Anecdotal Evidence Showing the Impact of Extreme Sun Protection on Skin Health by Deborah Tosline
I developed a habit in my mid-twenties of using clothing for sun protection while working as a hydrogeologist collecting groundwater well information and water quality samples on hot summer days in the southern Arizona desert sun. Inevitably, I felt a strong urge to protect my skin for health and beauty during those long sunny field days. At the time (mid-1980’s), I purchased silk scarves, silk shirts, silk pants and cotton gloves from the thrift store and contentedly completely covered myself, looking like a mirage of a desert sheik wearing a straw hat.
