“I LOVE sharing my personal favourite products with new clients and offering skins care consultations in-store.” – Nancy

She also enjoyed that the products are all natural and organic with no preservatives, no colorants and yet have proven results. She considers her conversion to an organic routine along with the use of essential oils a “texture and sensorial journey!”
Magic Behind the Mirror, featuring Nancy
Nancy has normal skin through the summer; however, living in Calgary she occasionally finds her skin and hair can feel dehydrated. She has embraced the change to an organic and natural skincare regime, using our Frankincense Intense Age-Defying range daily.
