I remember my grandmother telling me when I was 6 years old when I asked why she was putting Apple Cider Vinegar on her face, “If I can drink it, I put it on my face.” It stuck me with me over the last 30 years. Because of this, I use a lot of natural products on my skin and on my client’s skin. It’s natural to think if a product is good for your insides, it’s good for your outsides. That’s why I was so happy when I discovered S.W. Basics products. All of their product are natural and most of them only have 3 to 5 ingredients in them. No dangerous preservatives or 28 letter words that no one can pronounce.
