Dancing snowmen? Flying reindeer? Talk about a season full of myths! As it turns out however, there is at least one thing we can trust to come this winter- welcome to my face, dry skin.
Time to thaw out those chilly weather blues by winterizing your skin with this new recipe that I’ve come to love. Peppermint when used as an infusion is much gentler than peppermint essential oil, while cucumber soothes and feeds the skin with silica.

- 5 ounces (150 ml) filtered tap/mineral water
- 1 packet peppermint tea
- 2 oz (60 ml) aloe vera juice
- 2 drops vitamin E oil

There were two key reasons I was excited to try Fight Back “2,” another product within the Mission Essentials line. The first- the company is based out of Charleston, South Carolina, so their front door is just a hop, skip and jump away from my own. And two- Charleston has bugs like no other city. Bring on the insect repellent!
Joycey Couture puts Mission Essentials' all natural bug repellent to the Bionic test!
A little background on the company itself- Mission Essentials offers products that are paraben free, contain no sodium lauryl-sulfate (SLS) and are vegan-friendly. They also only use earth-friendly packaging. What’s not to love?
So there I was, an evening not unlike others, rocking on my porch chair and talking with a few of my friends. If you’ve ever had a chance to visit the “Lowcountry,” as we call it, you’ll quickly learn that as soon as the sun sets, the bugs begin to bite. Forks has vampires and werewolves, we have no-see-ums and mosquitoes.
I decided it was the perfect setting to test out Fight Back “2,” a 100% natural insect repellent.
I sprayed my entire body down and soon felt hungry for cereal. It smells so much like Fruit Loops, I was certain a toucan was going to swoop down, land on my shoulder, then tell me how I needed to follow my nose.
No toucans came around, but no bugs did either. I was sold!
