Herma’s News – Skincare in Winter, Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas, Dessert Cheese, Fondue

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s affections, and the truth of imagination. – John Keats

Dear Customers,

Winter at home beckons us to surround ourselves in luxury, especially with Valentine’s Day added to the mix. Go ahead…enjoy beautifully fragranced lotions, soaps and hand-creams.

Indulge in all the Fraktals your chocolate-loving heart desires and be seduced by cheese as you take part in the melted deliciousness of fondue. Maybe even try a soft, luscious cheese that will pair beautifully with just the right kind of after dinner drink.

Dry Skin in Winter

Beekman 1802 is just what Herma ordered!

Reduced humidity combined with colder temperatures during winter months leads to very dry skin called winter’s itch. To pamper skin at this challenging time Herma suggests using Beekman 1802’s goat’s milk body-care products.

Why is goat’s milk such a sought after ingredient? The pH level of goat’s milk is very close to that of human skin. This similarity in pH levels causes the goat’s milk to more easily soak into our skin, allowing the product to nourish not just the top layer of the skin but underneath and throughout as well.

Your dry, winter skin will lap up the moisture and be much healthier after using Beekman 1802.
