I was a former MaryKay user but due to cost restraints, started using Avon. They kept discontinuing/ changing their facial products and since I'm a creature of habit, this irritated me. I was invited to my first Essence Maker party approximately 4 years ago and tried the Intense Facial Oil, Lavender Glycerin Soap and the Facial Powder. Needless to say that was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. With the suggestion of Tracy, I went back to the basics and started using Witch Hazel as my astringent (forgot all about that one) along with her products and I have never been happier. I would encourage anyone (male or female) to try Essence Maker's products, you won't be disappointed and please never change the formulas!
