Hi, You'll see my face in MJF magazine on the Every Woman Has a Story page. I've been blessed to write those stories and to interact with women as a hairstylist for over 30 years. I'm also passionate about skincare and nutritional supplements. I've used Arbonne's amazingly effective products for six years. And as they say, the proof is in the pudding!

Hi Ardis,
I would love to try a sample of your skin care products. I am 40 and have problem skin. Sometimes, my skin is fine, but often I have breakouts on my forehead, chin and sides of my face. I have large pores and sometimes oily skin (especially in the summer). I also get
some dry areas, but mostly during winter. My skin is also pretty sensitive - if I over scrub
or use a lot of makeup (which I don't often do) it will break out as well. I have tried just about everything but have never tried Arbonne, so would love to try your products. I am also looking for a body lotion with a soft fragrance - I love fragranced body lotion but a lot of them will give me a headache. I don't use perfume because it does the same thing. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jody Harmon

Ardis,
I am glad you brought up the Spa products... OH MY GOODNESS!!! I love these products.... I can tell people that part of my healing process ( Lupus) was the use of Blue green algae so the new detox system I HIGHLY recommend! But the whole line is FAB.....Arbonne's committment is "PURE- SAFE - and BENEFICIAL......."

My mom and dad took turns naming us seven kids. Mom came up with Ardis. It's an old Scottish and old Southern name. I hated it as a kid. Now I appreciate it, because I know it's me when someone calls out the name.
As for Arbonne products, I appreciate your comments. With over 360 products, there are alot of great things to choose from. Ardis

Yes, yes, yes!as Rene' says. They do help with large pores. I have clients who are also my friends who are also using these products long term and I can attest to three close friends that I see often that had large pores and uneven tone whose pores are much smaller and the skin smoother tone over all. And they are happy about it!
But tell my about your skin, SuzieQue. Normal, oily, Dry, combination. And are you teen, twenties to forties, forties or beyond? It all helps me determine what your skin type is and what products works best. Like Rene', I use the RE9 line and LOVE it. I have - had dry skin. Arbonne has really kept that problem in check. But I have friends with normal to oily skin who also use RE9 with great success. There is also an Intelligence line that is amazing for oily, troubled, or young skin. And sometimes a combination of products is perfect.
So what's your type? Ardis

And the mineral powder foundation which is probably my biggest seller. I can attest to how well it protects. Was recently in Mexico and forgot to reapply sunscreen after four hours in direct sun and water (I was in pool much of that time). Soooo after another few hours, my very light skin was somewhat sunburned across shoulders, chest and back. But not my face. Had applied a pump of liquid foundation and then a dusting of mineral foundation and even after seven hours in the sun, just a tiny bit of a pink cast to the tip of my nose. It was great. I also like the way it stays on in the water. - Not if you're under water alot of course. But just for swimming. I have some scarring on my jawline and I really appreciate the way the Arbonne products camouflague it.
My sister lived in Prosser for a couple years when she was first married. She liked the apple orchards in the spring.

Thanks, Rene'. You're right, there are just too many great products to mention. But I love to talk about all of them, and happy to help people place orders and even learn about becoming a consultant. www.ardiseckel.myarbonne.com is a great place to start.
And yes, I've used the Phyto-prolief for several years. It sure got me through the hot-flashes!
You have a great day! Ardis

I'd love to, Jonni. You're looking at the Intelligence line. And that cleanser is good for skin that is normal to oily. Also the toner is very well-liked by those who have occasional breakout. A great thing about Arbonne's products is that they contain no fillers, so they are very concentrated. If an ingredient doesn't have a job to do, it's not in them.
Also, they don't strip or dry your skin, the cleanser will get it clean, and the tone will return it to proper ph, constrict the pores for a finer finish and settle down that skin that wants to break out. The products are pH correct, which means they have a ph like skin does, of about 5.5. The moisturizer is very light and great becuase you can use it for day and night.
And the Exfoliating Masque -oh, my gosh, I could write a book on that. It will really clean up that dull-looking skin that can often lead to break-out. It contains green payaya that, activated with water, have lunch on damaged skin cares, leaving your skin softer and brighter.
Ok,enough said. Except that Arbonne offers a 45-day (from day of order - you almost always receive products within a week in the continental US) satifaction guarantee. And that's worth tons!
Thanks for asking! Ardis

I would like a regular skin care regiment, though, and was intriqued by the cleanser that "adjusts" to your skin type...
Can you tell me more?
Thanks and thanks for posting this :)

Hi, Mama to 2, you're about 3 hours Northwest of me. We know pretty much what weather we're going to get the next day depending on what you get.
Arbonne is a 27 year old company. The products are formulated in Switzerland, made in USA. Our products contain no Mineral oil, no Animal products or by-products, No Animal testing - tested on human panels by independent dermatologists, no Artifical dyes or fragrances (A few body products contain Fragrance - those are clearly marked and are panel patch-tested for irritancy), and we are now paraben-free. We use the best of science and nature for botanically based products that are pure, safe and beneficial. Arbonne = REsults. And I can say that being in the beauty industry for over 30 years, and after using Arbonne products for six years, I wouldn't use anything else!
Sorry, Maybe too much info. Visit my website for more: www.ardiseckel.myarbonne.comor email me any time. Another Northwesterner, Ardis

Thanks for the kind words, Karin! But we're all beautiful - aren't we! Arbonne's Re9 really has been wonderful for my mature, dry skin,though, and I love the vitamin packs. Used to have heartburn - which is awful when you love those fresh garden things like green peppers, onion, garlic, spices and all - now, since I take the Womens'Hybrids, I don't!
If you're not working with a consultant, please remember me when you have questions about ordering. There are ways to get these wonderful products and save, too. Check out my website.
You live in the South? You've had some rough weather these past couple years, haven't you.
