Switching gears from haircare to skincare, your ‘Curl Gurl’ couldn’t say no to Burt’s Bees. Burt’s Bees has been offering earth-friendly, natural health and beauty care over 25 years. On Thursday, September 27th, Burt’s Bees held the Intense Hydration and Ultimate Care product event at the James Hotel. This new 7-product line delivers all-day moisturization and incomparable hydration that contains no petrochemicals, phthalates, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, nor ever tested on animals. The Intense Hydration and Ultimate Care line is 99% natural, non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested.

Burt’s Bees was inspired by a remarkable botanical called clary sage and incorporated it into this new line. Clary sage is a lone plant which fights for its life against the elements and not only survives, but thrives in its harsh environment because of its fierce will and exceptional ability to trap and retain moisture. Clary sage is found deep in the windswept hills of the Mediterranean; it promises to quench parched skin, leaving it totally revitalized and healthy looking.

Simply glowing right after!

With candles lit throughout the suite — cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, manicures and facials for guests — it was truly a relaxing evening. I quickly got a spot for a facial and it was so worth it! I was able to test-drive Burt’s Bees newest skincare line while receiving detailed instructions and advice from the experts. Here are the complete new products from Burt’s Bees:
