Straight-from-the-garden skin care - Beauty

Shape, Oct, 2003 by Valerie Latona

Plant-based ingredients are all the rage in skin-care products today. The main reason: They're gentle and effective. And now there's another botanical-based line that's hit the market; Pure Simplicity, a head-to-toe range of skin-care from Bath & Body Works. Some of the must have items in the line: the Pumpkin Purifying Face Mask ($16), a gentle exfoliating mask, and the Fig Hydrating Body Scrub, shown here ($18; 800-395-1001), which combines moisturizing figs with exfoliating sugar to leave skin soft.
