I’ve been intrigued with the concept behind Mother Dirt products so was excited when I got their face & body cleanser in a gift bag at a recent event.

This ecosystem is called the skin biome which gets disrupted when we use harsh soaps and … Continue reading Product Review: Mother Dirt Face & Body Cleanser
