Celebrity Skin Product Sighting: JK Soul Salts - A Luscious Line for Body and Bath, Loved By Brit and Brooke

Since the City of Angels is the home to so many of Hollywood’s elite, we thought a new product column dedicated to dishing what the brightest stars are using for skincare seemed completely apropos and well worth the read. So to inaugurate this ongoing super-star style section, let’s us begin with the oh-so-timely topic of great skincare solutions used by mega-famous moms-to-be. (But have no fear! These products work well on anyone—celebrity or not, with or without child. We just found it newsworthy to note that people like Britney Spears and Brooke Shields, among others, are jumping on the bandwagon big time with the product line JK Soul Salts.)

JK Soul Salts is a family-owned and operated company started by two sisters when one of them (who was highly allergic to artificial perfumes, chemical additives, and preservatives) couldn’t find an all natural line of bath and body products that was truly all natural and worked well for her. So she put her interest in organic ingredients and their amazing benefits to good use. She took classes, did research, and experimented in making her own line of products that would use only the finest oils and most nurturing elements. The result is handmade, natural, organic body and bath treatments that are sensational for your skin and succulent to the senses.

JK Soul Salts’ six signature scents include lavender, rosemary, orange blossom, sweet grapefruit, Tahitian vanilla, and Neroli. Each offers aromatherapy benefits and its unique specialty to the skin. For example, lavender calms and soothes, grapefruit revitalize, and Neroli improves tone. The line consists of body scrubs, bath salts, dryer sachets, Shea melts, shaving oils, tub teas, bath oils, bath crystals, body butters, herbal soaps, and massage bars, which are always created in small batches to ensure freshness.

I’ve been using the Sweet Grapefruit Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub, which I find to be a great revitalizing exfoliator for the skin (so does Brooke Shields—she’s a big fan of the line and this product in particular!). It’s made with pure salt from the Dead Sea and skin nourishing Apricot Kernel Oil, and it really makes me feel energized and silky smooth. I’ve also been using the Cocoa Massage Bar every morning, which gives a big boost of moisture and relaxation to your muscles (just ask Britney Spears—this product has become one of her favs after she received a number of JK Soul Salts goodies as a pregnancy gift!). It’s a solid bar of raw cocoa butter and Vitamin E, which works wonders on dry winter skin or for oversensitive types like myself.

Retail prices range from around $15 to $29, depending on the item. For more information, log on to www.jksoulsalts.com to check out the large assortment of aromatic skin solutions for yourself.
