Celebrating Great Skincare with willa and The Motherhood

This summer, The Motherhood partnered with the amazing willa natural skincare made just for girls and invited some of our bloggers to try willa’s products with their daughters by throwing at-home spa parties with friends. The Motherhood’s co-founders Emily and Cooper joined in the fun with their daughters, too! The results? Beautiful, healthy skin, smiling faces, and lots of fun!

willa is the first natural skincare line just for tween girls, with products developed by a dermatologist at one of the top emulsion labs in the United States. The skincare line offers 18 products, including face wash, moisturizing lotion, sunscreen and more – all made without chemicals, parabens, dyes, or sulfates.

Six years ago, Christy Prunier realized that there were no natural skincare products available for her 8-year-old daughter Willa. After dealing with skin cancer at age 29, Christy regretted not taking better care of her own skin and was determined to help her daughters care for theirs starting at an early age. She decided to take matters into her own hands and created willa.

Check out what some of the participating bloggers had to share about willa and their willa skincare parties!

“The girls were SQUEALING with happiness when they saw the table! We put everyone’s hair up and out of their faces, then got down to business.”

-Melissa, All Things Chic

Cecile, who blogs at The Shopping Duck, said that her daughter’s spa party was a big hit:

“As the girls were trying all the products, they were sipping lemonade from their new insulated cups and dining on cookies and fruit. They loved the pampering and they were able to take home a travel kit with willa products to continue their healthy face routine.”

Jennifer from The Dirty t-Shirt had a funny story to share:

“My daughter went to her drawer, you know the one that houses tubes and bottles of past used products, and dumped it right into the trash can and exclaimed, ‘I have finally found products that work and that I like!’ – to which I promptly put the willa website on my favorite list for future orders. The girls all enjoyed their pampering day and I enjoyed seeing them happy and finally finding a product line that my daughter likes!”

And Elena of Live. Do. Grow. summed it up when she wrote, “I realized that just like I want to empower my daughter and other tweens to use their voices for good, empowering them to take control over their health and longevity is important.”

(At Cooper’s party even little brothers got involved!)

Talking about skincare through a fun setting like a party with friends is such an ideal way to help our tweens understand how important skincare is.

Thanks so much to willa for the opportunity!
