Watkins red clover salve was a popular favorite for many years. Not only was it a great salve for dry, work worn hands and cuticles, the red clover extract maybe helpful for eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions. Watkins Red Clover salve was given a new name in 2006 and discontinued a few years later. But the good news is three of our new salves are based on the same wonderful, natural ingredients. While they aren’t exactly the same, you may find one of them is a great replacement for your red clover salve.

Here are the three Watkins salves that are very similar to Red Clover Salve:

• 10490 Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Cuticle Salve
• 10495 Mango Hand & Cuticle Salve
• 20480 Foot Repair Salve

The first time I tried J.R. Watkins Lip Tints I fell in love with them. I’m not a big cosmetic user but I’ve always liked to add a bit of color to my lips. My two favorite colors are Berry Charming and Simply Mauve-lous. My daughters like the lighter colors. We like how this lip tint goes on smooth  and has a refreshing peppermint tingle. Knowing that it’s made from bee’s wax and it’s 100% natural makes us very happy too.

Exciting news, Watkins has just introduced two new lip tint colors to our very popular Lip Tint line. Scarlet Sunset adds a touch of classic glamor day or night, while Stardust provides a subtle hint of sheer glimmer. I know I’m not the only one who loves these lip tints, they’ve been a hit with women of all ages, from young teens to the young at heart.
You are bound to find the perfect color just for you with six to choose from.

20223 Berry Charming
20221 Strike-a-Rose
20220 Tickled Pink
20222 Simply Mauve-lous

In the United States $4.99
In Canada $5.99 each

Specially priced new colors
20218 Stardust
20219 Scarlet Sunset

In the United States $4.99 Special only $4.59 each
In Canada $5.99 each CAD Special only $5.29 each

Which shade do you want?

You will go nuts when you try our new Coconut, Milk and Honey Lotion and Coconut, Milk and Honey Sugar and Shea Body Scrub! I know we did when received one of each from Watkins as a gift while in we were Spain! We love this stuff, it smells so good and it’s amazing for your skin.

An interesting note, when I first tried this I had a large, itchy patch of eczema behind one knee. The lotion and scrub seemed to help clear up the eczema.  I was hesitant about using the scrub on the affected area as I thought it might irritate the eczema but I risked it. If you suffer from this you’ll know how good it feels to scratch the area. The sugar scrub gave gentle relief and the shea butter, coconut and other natural oils soothed and moisturized. Love how when you add warm water it melts into your skin.

When I got home I did a bit of research. I discovered coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids and has an anti-inflammatory agent. So when applied to the affected area it not only penetrates rapidly but reduces the inflammation caused by eczema or dermatitis. No wonder it felt better!

In addition, the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil prevent bacterial infections from forming on the skin. This can be a issue when one scratches too much or too hard. Believe me it’s hard not to scratch!  There are many topical creams and lotions available today that can be used to prevent dry skin, the difference is that these contain other ingredients which may or may not offer relief or can cause further irritation.  On the other hand, Watkins lotions and scrub contain natural ingredients for a more natural remedy for a variety of skin conditions.

We’ve been doing some spring cleaning and using the scrub on our hands just before bed time, it makes our hands smooth and soft after a tough day of work.

If you have oily skin you might find the sugar and shea scrub is too heavy or oily for your skin type. For those with normal and dry skin it’s a delight. The lotion would be suitable for all skin types as it has a lighter formula.

Why not treat yourself or your someone special to these? They’d make a wonderful Mother’s day gift.  You’ll find both these products online under the US specials or the Canadian specials.

Everyone is so busy this time of year so here’s a quick reminder to order your Watkins products on or before December 8th to ensure delivery for Christmas.

Simply call 1-866.456-4869 or visit the US Catalog or the Canadian Catalogue to place your order. Select your holiday items from the menu on the left Natural Gourmet, Personal Care, Home Remedies, Home Care, Gifts and Monthly Specials. Your order will be delivered right to your door or you can have it sent directly to your recipient!

Wishing you happy holidays!
