There’s an awesome natural beauty expo called IBE (Independent Beauty Expo) that I went to last year (actually I moderated the beauty influencer panel) and made a gorgeously green skin care discovery that I’m VERY excited about. Let me explain. So, being an “influencer,” I’m often lucky enough to walk away with a big VIP bag of samples. And many of them are full size – very nice, thank you! Although it sounds like an enviable job, it takes a while to wade through the samples – and an even longer time to figure out the stand-outs. But I take my skin care very seriously because I am on the other side (I’m going to call it the right side) of fifty! I need a little more than jojoba oil to keep me looking my best. Plus, I take my recommendations to YOU, my trusted community, very seriously.
Over the ensuing weeks, I’d pull out a product if I needed and wanted to try a specific item (a cleanser, moisturizer, etc.) and I found some pretty interesting products. Actually I’ve found some of my favorite ever brands of the past 3 years at IBE. Anyway, I’d almost come to the end of the bag when I found a small bottle called “Retin + Erase” by a brand called Natreceutique. I was out of retinol so thought I’d give it a go. After using it for 3 weeks, my skin looked seriously amazing. I could tell that it was doing what retinol is supposed to do, but in a very short period of time. Plus I didn’t have the side effects that a stronger retinol product will often deliver. So, I squinted at the small print on the bottle and googled the company. It turned out that they had an entire range of completely safe anti-aging products that looked right up my street. So, I ordered a bunch of them for further investigation. After 3 months of using them I was TOTALLY sold. So I contacted them and asked if I could find a way to offer these great products to my community with a possible deal. You know I LOVE getting you guys deals. After going back and forth, we decided to take it a step further – I wanted them to create bundles for you, based on your skin condition and preference, and they’ve done just that.
So, without further ado, announcing a skin care bundle from The Sunscreen Company (that’s the umbrella name for the 3 different lines they have). You are going to fall in LOVE as I’ve done – I know you are! All the products blend green medical science (they’re created by physicians), and the most powerful ingredients found in nature. If you’ve read my book, Gorgeous For Good, you’ll know that I’m all about science + nature when it comes to my skin care.
Here are the bundles that we created. You get 20% off all of the bundles (the 20% has already been deducted off the bundles in the store), and you get 20% off any additional products by using the coupon code SOPHIE20 Told you, I’d get you a deal. So don’t delay – get your skin looking gorgeous right away.

Due to the high antioxidant concentration in the targeted pigment control products, it will also help with anti-aging concerns.
