A Drugstore Classic

You've probably walked by Queen Helene products in the drugstore many times and never thought anything of them. BUT did you know that Queen Helene Products are all natural, not tested on animals AND many of their products are free of animal ingredients (vegan)? Showing a concern for the environment, their company makes sure that all packing is recyclable. Also, several products in the Queen Helene line are fair trade or organic.

My favorite product is the Mint Julep Mask. It is free of animal ingredients. It contains sulfur, which is a great acne fighting alternative to salicylic acid and benzyol peroxide (both of which seem to dominate the acne skin care market). I try to use it once a week on my entire face. Leave it on until it dries, then wipe off with a warm washcloth.
