As a blogger, I get to review lots of interesting and innovative products, but today I get to share with you one of my indulgences…
Now that I’m 42, I’m paying attention to how I care for my skin. Most of my life I’ve been a swimmer and a sunbather. I’ve never paid much attention to sunscreens and skin products. I just expected my skin to roll with the punches. I am from Mediterranean descent after all. I’m supposed to age gracefully, ahem.
But the truth of the matter is that my skin gets quite dry and I need a little help keeping it looking its best.
I discovered a store in Boston called Arianna. Arianna is a skincare company founded by a lady named Miri Torres. Miri is from Israel and she struggled with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma which left her body in all states of disrepair.
To help heal her skin, Miri developed a skincare line that uses Dead Sea minerals. Miri found that her skin improved dramatically by taking advantage of Dead Sea minerals and formulated a product line which includes cleansers, moisturizers, bath products and makeup.
In 2007 Miri launched her product line in the United States with the desire to help people care for their skin with products made with the nutritive Dead Sea minerals that made such a difference with Miri’s own healing.
I’ve been using their Ultra Exfoliating Body Treatment and the Ultra Rich Mineral Body Butter. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these products.
Seriously, how often do I gush over anything? I’m gushing over this. My skin not only feels like silk after exfoliating and moisturizing, but I smell like I’ve spent the day at the spa. And even if I wash my hands a bunch of times throughout the day, they still feel soft and buttery. Arianna products are incredible.
Currently you can find Arianna products in Boston, Martha’s Vineyard or Newport, Rhode Island. But if you are out of state, don’t fret. You can find their products online too.
I’m thrilled to announce that Arianna is providing an incredible giveaway for one lucky Melanie In The Middle reader. They have put together a gift basket with my favorite products! Here’s what’s in the giveaway:
Hydrating Mineral Body Lotion (ARV $59)
Intensive Mineral Foot Treatment (ARV $69)
Exfoliating Shower Milk Refiner (ARV $69)
Ultra Exfoliating Body Treatment (ARV $90)
Ultra Rich Mineral Body Butter (ARV $80)
An amazing collection of products with a retail value of $367! I’m so excited to offer this giveaway opportunity!
The timing couldn’t be better now that we are entering that time of year when our skin really takes a beating. To enter this giveaway, leave your first name, last initial, the state you are from and which product from the giveaway basket you are most eager to try.
Entries must be received by Thursday, December 20th 11:59pm ET. Good luck!
For more information on Arianna, be sure to visit their website and their Facebook page.
Arianna provided me with several of their products to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. And I big puffy heart love their stuff. Two thumbs up.

I’d love the body lotion, but to be honest, I’d love to use the body butter on my 5 year old. He uses an insulin pump, and his skin is a mess from all the adhesives. I’ve slathered every product Rite Aid sells on him, without much that seems to help. The poor kid has arms that feel like sandpaper at this point
