I get to test out a lot of skin care items.  So far I have found a lot of great ones, but one thing that happens with me is when I use something for too long it quits working as well.  I have found that alternating a few products works well for me.  My favorite products are the natural ones.  I don’t do well with items that are perfumed, they tend to give me a headache.

Amazon Rain products are free of synthetic chemicals, artificial additives, carcinogenic dyes, and toxic fragrances.  Ive been using the products for a few weeks and I am loving the results.  Some people will not care for the smell of the products when they first start using them.  They smell like the earth, I happen to like it.  It lets me know that there is nothing un-natural in there.  The smell does not linger, so don’t even begin to worry about that.  Just know that by using a product like this you are taking care of your skin by being careful with what you put on it.

The products I have been using are below with a description of each one.
