As the leaves are falling and the air is chilling, we are grateful for the changing of the seasons. These colder temps can be hard on our skin, but we've got you covered, plus we have a brand new product that really packs a punch when it comes to hydrating your skin.  You've probably heard of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) since it's been a popular product in the skin care world lately. Here's the run down on this up-and-coming skin care tool.
Simply apply the serum (using the included dropper) to your clean face and gently rub the serum wherever you'd like to smooth wrinkles or add extra hydration. It's often applied to the forehead, around the lips, and under the eyes. Allow it to dry completely before applying anything else to your face.

 Some of you are asking about the Macy's Fall Fashion Event, so we thought we'd give you the scoop here on the blog. When Macy's reached out to us about being a part of their event, we thought it was a scam! Why would THE Macy's be contacting little Martha's Bath and Body? It's a good thing we didn't just dismiss it, though, because it turned out to be legit! So here's what's going on at Macy's Easton on Saturday, September 28th! The fashion event will kick off with a fashion presentation hosted by Amanda Hamman of Girl About Columbus and Neeloo Fathi of From Nee to You. They will be highlighting the latest fall trends, including animal prints, plaids, and shades of green. Enjoy treats from Rime Time Crafted Pops, nail decals, and DIY scrubs from Martha's Bath and Body. Plus, when you spend $35 or more in women's fashion, you'll receive a personalized hair accessory kit from Penzone Salons and Spa (while supplies last). Also, if you are one of the first 50 Star Rewards Members, check in at the Star Rewards station to receive a free customized fall-scented candle! And if you download the Macy's app and take the Style Inspo quiz, you'll receive a $5 Macy's Rewards Card. So grab a friend or two (or savor some time on your own!) and come enjoy this fall fashion event! Be sure to follow @amandamhamman and @neeloofathi for the lastest with this event. We are looking forward to talking with you and sharing our fall fragrances with you! If you aren't in the fall mood before this event, there's a great chance you will be after experiencing all our scents of fall!
 We love it when we find something that is both simple and luxurious! We've been learning even more about rose water, and we're excited to share. What is Rose Water? Rose water is made by steeping water in fresh rose petals, extracting the soluble elements. The use of rose water dates back to the time of Cleopatra and the Roman Empire. The Persians refined the process of making rose water, and they traded this much-valued commodity to the Europeans. What is Rose Water used for? It's known for medicinal qualities, beautification properties, and culinary uses. Let's talk skin care. How is Rose Water beneficial?
 How do I use Rose Water? Simply spritz the pure rose water directly onto your face or hair, or if you'd rather, you can spritz it onto a small cotton pad and then wipe your face with the pad to apply the rose water to your skin. Either way, you'll experience the amazing benefits of this delightful aromatic treatment! To learn more about our Pure Rose Water, click here. Thank you and a Coupon Code

It's widely used in the cosmetics industry for products such as moisturizers, cleansers, baby products, and much more. Here's some interesting facts about jojoba oil! It looks like jojoba, sounds like ho-ho-ba! This is a star ingredient in many skin-care products. Jojoba oil comes from a shrub, mainly the crushed seed of the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinenis) which is indigenous to the Sonoran Desert in northwest Mexico and southern parts of Arizona and California.  The jojoba seed, also called a bean or a nut, is the size of a small olive. When it dries out, it is harvested and its oil is extracted. In fact, about half of the weight of the seed is oil. This oil has some unique properties that makes it so effective for skin care! Here's why jojoba oil is so distinctive.  Why Jojoba Oil?
What Martha Products Contain Jojoba? Now that you know how incredibly beneficial this oil is, you won't be surprised to know that we use organic jojoba oil in several of our products.

The Scoop on Exfoliating
If you are looking to brighten and freshen your skin, consider exfoliation as a way to do this! Here's some answers to some common questions about exfoliation. What Is Exfoliation? The definition of exfoliation is simply to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin. By doing this, we bring healthy new skin cells to the surface. These fresh cells are better at retaining moisture for a more radiant glow. There are two basic types of exfoliation -- chemical and physical. Physical exfoliation involves rubbing the skin to smooth and brighten it, and that's our focus at Martha's Bath and Body.  Many of you have asked for this, and we finally have it!!! You can now purchase foaming soap refills in all of your favorite fragrances. Our Castile foaming soap is hand-crafted with a combination of high-quality organic oils – coconut oil, olive oil, and castor oil. This exclusive blend ensures a gentle yet effective cleanser which lathers beautifully! We offer so many fragrances, so you are bound to find many that you love! Our soap is sulfate-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, vegan, and gluten-free. You can feel good about using this product on your skin! And for the month of May we are offering a coupon code for any foaming soap product -- the 8-oz pump soap or the 64-ounce refill soap. Use the code FOAMINGSOAP20 to receive 20% off the price of our foaming soap. This coupon code is good through May 2019 only on our website marthasbathandbody.com.

Microdermabrasion Smoothing Hand Cream Here's another new product we are developing, Microdermabrasion Smoothing Hand Cream! This is designed to be used in conjuction with our lotion. The microcrystals in this cream exfoliate your hands while the shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E moisturize and soothe.  We took this product to The Collective in Newark and had some customers try it and give us some feedback. Here's some comments that we heard. My hands feel so soft! It feels like I'm in a spa! This would be great for my feet too! When can I buy this? Thanks so much for those who came out and tried this product. We are thrilled that we received such positive feedback, and you can look for this product to be available early summer! Follow us on Instagram and/or Facebook for the most up-to-date info on this microdermabrasion smoothing hand cream. More New Fragrances They just keep coming! We’re adding a couple more to our spring line-up. Here’s a bit about the new kids on the block!  Emerald Agave Clean and fresh with subtly sweet herbaceous notes, it's a sweet mix of sea moss, melon, agave, passionflower, acai, aloe, coconut bark, teakwood, grass, and amber. We can't get enough of this one!  Moroccan Mint This is a fresh take on traditional mint. A sweet, soft mint fragrance, it's a refreshing mix of spearmint, peppermint, cornmint, and a touch of black tea. A sophisticated and lovely choice!  We are thrilled to be a part of the Granville Farmer’s Market this season! We participated in Granville's Indoor Farmer's Market the last two winters, so it will be nice to reconnect with many of our people! From May to September, you will find us on Saturday mornings in this charming town. We’re excited to get a chance to meet and talk with each of you, answering your questions and sharing information.

We are working with the Granville Recreation District and Lynd Fruit Farm to provide some fun and informative classes this summer. We love it when we get a chance to talk with you, and we love that our customers are so informed about what they put on their skin. That's why we always have the ingredients clearly listed on our products and our website. We're proud of how we make our products and we are happy to share what we have learned.
