Healing Earth Moisturizer Lemon Verbena & Argan Oil

Article by Peter Brooker

Awake

And the dog has come into season and there are dry patches of blood across all the pillows. The wife is out of town for a few more days, so this does not need my immediate attention. I stir, and crawl to the bathroom. How many was it last night? 4 pints, 2 glasses of red wine. I could have had more wine had the hostess, a monosyllabic plump blonde, hadn't been such a joyless jobsworth at the book launch. Don't dwell on it. How much does drinking affect your skin? I don't know, but it will be another long session in the sauna to piss it all out and no doubt, an afternoon nap afterwards.

I wash, and pump three hearty squirts of Healing Earth Moisturizer over my cheeks and forehead. The lemon zest vitaminizes my saggy skin. How I like that word, vitaminizes. Although not a real word. And not my word.

The Hype

The brainchild of spa veteran Elisabeth Brandt, Healing Earth is a premium African spa brand that offers natural, organic products, therapies and spa concepts to discerning clients the world over. Each lovingly created Healing Earth product harnesses the restorative powers of Africa’s rich natural resources, and is made from only the purest natural active ingredients sourced from the continent’s powerful minerals, oceans, flowers, herbs, fruit, seeds and natural oils.

Word on the street

I was recently introduced to this product at a lodge whilst on holiday and had to buy some as soon as I got home. I absolutely love it. I purchased it online and the service was great. Verified buyer.

My Thoughts

It was a good idea to buy this from our hotel in South Africa. I forget which one. My face at least smells better than the rest of me. Another look in the mirror before leaving the house. How long can these looks last, and have they gone already? An ex once told me that she's ten years older but still has better skin than I do. We had our first date in a Cambridge Bar. "Things you need to know about dating an Indian woman Peter. We take our time in choosing our men. And when we fall we fall hard. You will not know love, you will not know compassion, like you will from an Indian woman. And I am all Indian."

We made love every night, she never took her bra off. I took her to meet my Mum. And dumped her days after. I can't remember why. Maybe it was the skin comment.
