Valentine’s Day is coming up in a couple of weeks, and you may be thinking about what to give the special someone in your life. Verefina’s line of handmade skincare products make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for guys and gals alike. Verefina’s products contain nourishing natural ingredients and are free of toxic synthetic chemicals, so you’re giving the gift of good health when you give your sweetheart Verefina. This year, Verefina is offering two Valentine’s Day Packages. The Ladies’ Valentine’s Day Package contains a Sugar Scrub in the scent of your choice, Coconut Hand Lotion (also in your preferred scent), and a Massage Bar. The Guys’ Valentine’s Day Package also comes with a Massage Bar, as well as our Moisturizing Deodorant Cream and a Mini Relieve and Repair Muscle Rub.

Ladies’ Valentine’s Day Package

Pamper your girl with this package! Made with 100% natural ingredients, Verefina Sugar Scrubs remove dead skin cells, leaving younger, healthier cells behind. Sugar not only exfoliates skin, but also moisturizes it by drawing water from the air into the skin and holding it there. Olive, sunflower seed, and jojoba oils provide additional moisture and nutrients. Olive oil contains antioxidants, including vitamins A and E, that help protect the skin from free radicals (unstable molecules that can cause damage at the cellular level). Olive oil also has a natural SPF of about 7.5 (source), so it can provide light, short-term protection from the sun. Sunflower seed oil is a good source of vitamin E, while jojoba oil closely resembles the natural oils produced by the skin and can penetrate deeply into it. All of Verefina’s Sugar Scrubs are scented with therapeutic grade essential oils, never with artificial fragrances (for more on the detrimental effects of synthetic fragrances, see Why You Won’t Find These 5 Ingredients in Verefina Products).

The Coconut Hand Lotion features unrefined virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil absorbs quickly, so it doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. This amazing oil not only moisturizes skin, but helps exfoliate it as well, so skin feels smoother after using it (source). Coconut oil can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by strengthening the connective tissue in the skin (source).

The Coconut Hand Lotion is available in seasonal scents, which, like those in the Sugar Scrubs, are derived from therapeutic grade essential oils. Currently the Coconut Hand Lotion comes in Immunity, Peppermint Frost, Spiced Orange, and Unscented. The Immunity Coconut Hand Lotion contains the Immunity blend of essential oils- clove bud, cinnamon, eucalyptus, lemon, and rosemary. These oils work synergistically to support the immune system. The Unscented Lotion has a very light coconut smell. Our Peppermint Frost scent is a blend of peppermint essential oil and benzoin resin. This blend has a clean, fresh aroma that is refreshing and uplifting. Spiced Orange contains sweet orange, clove bud, and cinnamon bark essential oils. This popular blend has immune-boosting properties and a warming, grounding scent.

The Massage Bar is like no other product you’ve used before! Containing cocoa butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and a blend of aphrodisiac essential oils (cedarwood, sweet orange, clary sage, vanilla, and ylang ylang), the Massage Bar melts when rubbed into the skin. To use, simply glide the bar over dry skin, and massage the melted oils in.

Guys’ Valentine’s Day Package

The Massage Bar makes such a great gift that it’s in our Guy’s Valentine’s Day Package too. We’ve also included our Moisturizing Deodorant Cream and a Mini Relieve and Repair Muscle Rub. The deodorant is one of our best-selling products. It contains 100% natural ingredients that have been carefully selected for their ability to neutralize odors and absorb wetness. Many conventional deodorants are loaded with toxic ingredients (such as parabens) that are easily absorbed into the skin. But Verefina’s deodorant contains only safe and effective natural ingredients.

The Relieve and Repair Muscle Rub is one of our newest products, but it has gotten rave reviews from customers. This all-natural product is made with essential oils that are known for their ability to relieve pain and speed the body’s natural self-repair mechanisms. For example, helichrysum essential oil has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; it can help relieve muscular pain by decreasing inflammation and swelling and increasing circulation (source). Peppermint essential oil is useful for treating sore muscles, bruises, and joint pain. Lemongrass essential oil is a natural muscle relaxer and is also beneficial for relieving muscular pain (source). Like helichrysum oil, it is decreases inflammation and improves circulation, making it useful for addressing muscle spasms, cramps, backaches, and sprains (source).

Verefina's natural products are loaded with ingredients that support your health. So this year, give your sweetheart the gift of good health with Verefina’s Valentine’s Day Packages!
