Talking Dirty out of the Garden
March 16, 2010 by Robin Plaskoff Horton
People will be remarking about how you clean up so nicely. Once you peel off the wellies, the garden gloves, and throw your dirt-covered clothes into the wash, you can hop into to shower to scrub and exfoliate your hands and body with some of the same seeds you just planted in your garden.
Beekman Mercantile’s Wild Poppy Seed After-the-Garden Bar contains poppy seeds from the Beekman gardens and several essential oils that help remove green stains from the skin. Handmade and ideal for sensitive skin, it’s and chemical-free, using the maximum possible percentage of pure goat milk while the high butterfat content makes it really moisturizing.
Feeling bugged? Some bugs are good for your garden, though not for your skin. These bug repellent soaps are naturally scented with Citronella, Eucalyptus and other essential oils shown to help keep bugs away. For long days outdoors, they recommend showering with one of the small squares, and for shorter exposures, simply rub the square on your pulse points. Bugs away!
