E V E RY WO M A N H A S A STO RY, AND SO DOES HER SKIN. Norabloom Botanicals offers a holistic approach to beauty, health and wellness. Everyone can enjoy our skin care line. Locals can enjoy our beauty lounge.
Norabloom has always been an extension of who I am as a woman, an esthetician, and as a creative entrepreneur. After 18 years in the beauty industry, I continue to adhere to my philosophy that skin care should be clean, simple, and honest. Professional treatments should be relaxing and your skin should feel amazing. As a result, the Norabloom brand continues to evolve. My theme word is SIMPLIFY. Norabloom is a reflection of where I am today. Life is good, life is simple, and life is honest. “Every woman has a skin story, and so does her skin.” As an esthetician, I can tell so much about a woman’s life by looking at her skin. Norabloom strives to support a woman’s process of finding her place in this world, being true to herself, and finding peace, love and joy through education and healthy lifestyle choices (food, love and passion for life). I hope you continue to enjoy our philosophy as embodied in our treatments and skin care products.

C LE A N S E + E XFO LIATE ALOE & SHEA CREME CLEANSER This cleanser is for those with dry, compromised skin, rosacea or extreme sensitivities to facial cleansers. The aloe soothes and heals and the shea butter hydrates and creates a luscious feeling on the skin. It also makes an excellent eye makeup remover. CHAMOMILE GEL CLEANSER This cleanser is ideal for all skin types, especially oily and congested. Leave this facial cleanser on the skin for a few extra minutes to take advantage of the mild exfoliating properties that the natural botanicals offer. It is positively free of synthetic cleansing agents such as sodium laurel sulfate. ORGANIC PETALS & GRITS FACE SCRUB A client favorite and an excellent way to maintain your skin between professional facials. This unique scrub is a nod to our Southern heritage, combining cornmeal grits and organic flower petals to gently exfoliate. JOJOBA FACE & BODY BAR Every day calls for a fresh start! We created this slow melt soap to keep you fresh and clean. Hand poured one by one, we use a base that consists of: organic vegetable oils including coconut, palm and safflower. We gently blend that with goat’s milk, jojoba, lavender, tea tree, cedar wood, roman and german chamomile.
“The Chamomile Gel Cleanser is my favorite facial cleanser of all time. My skin feels fresh, looks smooth, and glows after every wash.”
Erica, New York

AVOCADO + MANUKA HONEY FACE MASK • Mash a ripe avocado with a tablespoon of Manuka honey • Apply to your facial skin and wait 10-15 minutes • Remove with lukewarm water and pat dry Avocado contains many minerals, such as iron, potassium, calcium, sodium, copper, and magnesium. It also contains vitamins A, E, B and K. This special mask revitalizes the epidermis and gives elasticity to even the driest skin. Manuka honey decreases inflammation, heals, exfoliates, brightens, and oxygenates skin.
C H E M OTH E R A PY & YO U R S K I N Chemotherapy and radiation can break down the skin’s outer layer, causing dryness, itching, rashes, and wounds. These treatments also interfere with new cell growth, creating “thin” skin. Once skin has been compromised, its natural barrier is damaged and the skin does not retain moisture as effectively. This can make the skin appear aged and cause fine lines to appear. Compromised skin is also more susceptible to injury and more vulnerable to toxins, ultraviolet rays, infection,allergens allergens, and harsh chemical ingredients in many commercial skin and body products. DOS & DON’TS Avoid hormone creams, such as products that contain hydrocortisone. If you choose facials and massage therapy treatments, please make sure that your practitioner is skilled in oncology esthetics and/or oncology massage. Avoid waxing, manicures and pedicures. Nourish and soften your cuticles daily with our Norabloom Rosehip & Carrot Serum. Use an ice cube to soothe itchy hot areas of the scalp due to wigs.

R EC I P E S K A LE , P E A S , R A S P B E R R I E S A N D C U P CA K E S I know that it seems like a strange combination but these are a few of my favorite things. I love kale in just about everything! I love the way it looks, feels and tastes. Yes, I am the weirdo that massages my kale with olive oil before I mix it into my salad. Kale is queen if you ask me. It is one of the healthiest and most nutritious plant foods on the planet. Not only is it loaded with nutrients, it has medicinal powers too. It is loaded with powerful antioxidants and is an excellent source of Vitamin C, high in Beta-Carotene, and contains sulforaphane which is known to fight the formation of cancer at the molecular level. Peas are not only adorable little green dots of goodness, they also contain high levels of antioxidants and aid in blood sugar regulation. They give you energy and help build a strong immune system. Raspberries are nature’s candy! These little sweeties also contain powerful antioxidants that work against free radicals as well as having a high polyphenol content that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. I adore raspberries on a slab of brie. Cupcakes need no explanation. They are a well deserved sweet treat enjoyed in moderation and in times of celebration.
