Crystal, known for mineral salt deodorants offering natural odor protection, has introduced another breakthrough safe and gentle formula. Crystal Invisible Solid Deodorant Sticks glide on smooth, condition and moisturize the skin while they protect from foul-smelling odor, all without harsh chemicals.
These deodorants provide proven odor protection for up to 24 hours with essential oils and no harsh, irritating chemicals. Now available in Unscented and three different scented varieties:
* Unscented is the only deodorant on the market with Made Safe certified ingredients.
* Scented versions (Lavender & White Tea, Vanilla Jasmine and Chamomile & Green Tea) are made with natural essential oils and extracts.
We received 4 complimentary Crystal Invisible Solid Deodorant Sticks to try out for all of you. I gave one to my mom, my grandmother and then I started using one too. What’s really cool about these stick deodorants is that they glide on smooth, giving you targeted odor protection without leaving any white streaks or staining on your clothing.
After application, you won’t feel any type of stickiness or greasiness at all. They’re hypoallergenic and gentle on your sensitive skin. They contain no aluminum, parabens or artificial fragrances, and they are really easy to apply! An important thing to know is this ~ They’re endorsed by numerous breast cancer and oncology treatment centers across the U.S.A.
I personally used the Lavender & White Tea which smelled fresh and clean. I really enjoyed the light lavender fragrance. My mom has been using the Vanilla Jasmine and my grandmother has been using the Chamomile & Green Tea. Once I finish the Lavender & White Tea…I’ll start using the Unscented. All three of us think these deodorants are fantastic!
The Crystal Invisible Solid Deodorant Sticks are available at Walgreens, CVS, Albertsons, Meijer, Harmon’s, Amazon and more.

February is the month of love – and a clean, DIY beauty routine is a wonderful and easy way to extend that loving spirit into the world of self care. Lemons are an endlessly versatile fruit, and can be as helpful in a skincare routine as they can in the kitchen. At their core, lemons are a wonderful source of Vitamin C, which helps to promote collagen production and skin renewal.
Additionally, alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) are a key component of exfoliation, and can help to brighten the skin and lessen acne scarring, leaving the user with healthy, glowing skin. To that end, Limoneira spokesperson Megan Roosevelt, alongside guest vlogger and #OWNshow host Ami Desai, will be bringing her favorite DIY beauty methods to the Limoneira YouTube channel all month long.
For a helpful demonstration, you can watch Megan and Ami create the recipes below here on the Limoneira YouTube channel. Don’t forget to subscribe – videos with more wonderful recipes, tips and tricks not detailed in this release will be added to the channel each Friday throughout the month.
Lemon Toner Recipe
Every good skincare routine has multiple components. Megan Roosevelt has the perfect DIY toner – without the harmful chemicals and mystery ingredients one might find in a store.
1/2 cup Limoneira lemon juice (Eureka or Lisbon)
1 cup filtered water
1/4 cup witch hazel
Simply add all ingredients to a jar or bottle with a well-fitting lid. Shake well and use!
Honey Lemon Sugar Scrub Recipe
This homemade remedy from Ami Desai is perfect for skin rejuvenation – whether it’s for a date night or just a self-pampering night in.
1 Limoneira lemon
Honey
Sugar
Cut lemon in half and sprinkle sugar on top of one half of the lemon. Add honey for moisture. Rub lemon half over face and leave for 5-10 minutes, then rinse. It’s easy as that!

How many of you ladies use a liquid concealer? I use a concealer underneath my eyes (to help hide dark circles) and across my upper cheeks to help cover-up some light age spots. With that said, it’s hard to find a good concealer that doesn’t …
