Between You and the Moon

This is far from Bullshit: this is Cow Fart Juice…

The specific herbal blend that I refer to as “cow farts” was used by family on the farm for many practical purposes—from rubbing on the surface of plants to keep certain pests off to rubbing on a cow’s perineum after she has given birth in order to help it heal and keep the flies away. After moving to Brooklyn, I ended up as my local neighborhood “good witch” and herbalist. I used the herbs in a powder to help my friends with athlete’s foot and I used the mix in an ointment that worked great for everything from chest-congestion (like vapor-rub, but without the petroleum) to yucky fingernails (I mean like you were up all night repairing banjos yucky, ughhh).

When I developed the Between You & The Moon skincare line and worked with valley to create new, all-natural facials and treatment programs, I used my herbalist skills to concoct some very special treatment oils to be used around the extraction process. These extremely refined oils; with trace amounts of minerals and organic essential oils not only make the extraction process less painful, but also encourage clogged pores to open-up and give up the goods. (Allowing a more thorough cleansing and pristine clean skin) Post-extraction, I apply a generous layer of my special healing herbal oil.

I started noticing right away that everyone would inhale deeply and say, “That smells lovely, what is it?” Of course, in my brain—and sometimes out loud—I would reply “really? It smells like a cow’s butt to me.” And though I never sold it as part of the product line, I would hand out small bottles of it to be used the week after the facial if we were working towards healing a lot of breakouts or if the skin was supersensitive and needed some tender loving care. It was incredible how short the “Post-facial Recovery Time” became with this program.

Once my clients realized that this special potion was making their skin heal faster and preventing more breakouts, everyone started coming back and asking for “that cow-fart juice”. Why? Because it feels good, it smells good, and it WORKS. The herbs and oils in cow fart juice have been traditionally used in many cultures to promote healing and have been shown to have anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and antiseptic properties. In addition to benefiting dry, cracked skin, acne lesions, cold-sores, keratosis pilaris (those chicken-bumps on your arms) and shallow cuts, it has been used with great effect on both eczema and psoriasis—providing a good amount of relief naturally. And this formula, based in oils that resemble your skin’s natural sebum, is perfect for use directly on blemishes!

Now, considering all of the legislation surrounding taxation of actual cow farts in the past year and the contributions that our gaseous bovine friends have been making to global warming, having more-environmentally friendly choices such as Between You & the Moon products and Valley Skincare are becoming more and more important.
