Camille, of Camille the Day Spa fame (you would have seen it on downtown State Street before they relocated last year)  has kindly agreed to donate a gift basket with some of her Surfher skincare products, valued at $xxx.

She’s an avid surfer herself, and being in the saltwater and under the sun for hours and hours causes a lot of skin damage. Most regular sunscreens and skincare products aren’t made to cope with that level of exposure.

So some years ago Camille decided to come up with better formulas – and she did. That’s what’s in her Surfher range.
I personally love the Surfher Shea Butter lotion. I first bought some last year to use with my 4-year-old daughter, who has perpetually dry skin in the winter, which didn’t respond to the Jergens and other regular lotions I tried. She loves it, her skin is definitely improved, and I love it. Smells great, too.

I’ve asked Camille to send in a photo and details of what’s going in the gift basket, and will update this post once it comes in!
