The Products...

Body Bar Soap - A hearty bar soap for the face and body that lathers up quickly and rinses leaving skin feeling clean and moist. The Acai Berry is partnered with anti-irritants that lubricate and fight free radicals. The Body Bar Soap contains visible flecks of the acai berry skin which have the same nutritional value as contained in the moisturizers when applied, and also includes our patented preservative.

Face Cleanser - Just a little amount goes a long way with our Face Cleanser! In addition to the acai berry, the face cleanser is partnered with other natural ingredients that help combat aging and cracked skin, prevent UV damage and age spots, helps skin retain moisture, reduce wrinkles, and softens the skin without leaving oily residue. Our Face Cleanser also includes our patented preservative exclusive to "A Sigh of Relief"!

Face Moisturizer, Body Moisturizer, Hand Creme - All three products are a rich creme in varying consistencies. Each creme absorbs easily and quickly into the skin without a greasy feel. In addition to the acai berry these moisturizers contain some of the most powerful skin rejuvenators with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and cell regeneration properties known. Of course, included into this list is our patented preservative, exclusive to "A Sigh of Relief"!

Why choose "A Sigh of Relief"?

"A Sigh of Relief" is a new and innovative product in and of itself. While anyone can enjoy its benefits, it addresses an untapped market. Although our society is saturated with various skin car lines, there are few (very few) that address the serious sensitivities of chemotherapy, radiation, and burn patients - particularly to the degree found in "A Sigh of Relief" products. This is due to the completely natural ingredients and preservative that the line contains.

In addition, "A Sigh of Relief" is void of soy, an ingredient that certain breast cancer patients and survivors must avoid in their daily diets and regiments. Soy in a skin care product is normally a positive ingredient, however certain breast cancer patients must eliminate soy (and any by product of soy) entirely (BUT ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR) - from being digested or applied topically. Contessa Cares, "A Sigh of Relief" is aware of this integral fact and has formulated the products accordingly.

As all beauty and skin care products must include a preservative in order to give it a shelf life, it is unfortunate that conventional preservatives contain synthetics and parabens, which break down and deteriorate the natural elements of the product ingredients. "A Sigh of Relief" contains an innovative, patented, all natural preservative that is made from raw materials, without depreciating the value of the natural ingredients the products contain. The preservative allows the products a safe and effective shelf life of one year after product containers have been opened. Our patented preservative is an effective alternative to conventional preservatives and thus allows us to claim that "A Sigh of Relief" is a truly natural product line!

"A Sigh of Relief" product containers are bio-degradable.

"Just wanted you to know how happy I am with Contessa Cares, "A Sigh of Relief". Bless you Contessa! I cleanse, and moisturize and for the first time ever I wake up with moist skin, not dried out old lady prune face that I suffered with for years. The hand cream is making my hands feel like "ladies hands" not farm working hands like before! The face cleanser and moisturizer are a great value, I use very little and OH, forgot to say they don't buy my contacts which so many other products have done. Anyway, THANKS for these wonderful products - I'm a happy gal!"

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for your signed book and cleansing products (Contessa Cares, "A Sigh of Relief"). I can't wait to get home and try it out! You were very generous to donate door prizes for our cancer event. You should do well with these products!"

I've been using Contessa Cares, "A Sigh of Relief" products for about 2 months now. I have generally good skin, but I had a rather large pore on one of my cheeks. I wash my face very diligently but I would always check to make sure at the end of the week that I paid close attention to that pore. I went to check on it the other day.......and it was gone. The pore had literally shrunk. I could not find it anywhere! I love these products and the fact that the ingredients are good for you are nothing but a bonus! Forget those cosmetic counter creams! THANKS CONTESSA!

The "A Sigh of Relief" body bar has been so great for my skin. Many other products I have tried claimed to be for sensitive skin areas, but this is the only soap I have tried that lives up to that. All areas of my body are left cleansed, soft and without irritation. I have also tried the facial cleanser and moisturizer - JUST GREAT! Thanks for this line of products!

After my second bout with skin cancer, I searched for safe products made with all natural ingredients. Since I read so much lately about the acai berry, I gave Contessa (the formulator and owner of Contessa Cares, "A Sigh of Relief") a call. She immediately sent me the products for me to use. THESE PRODUCTS ARE FANTASTIC! I can attest to that personally. While I am not a breast cancer survivor, I am a skin cancer survivor. Also, my rosacia is gone. I am excited to be able to offer these quality , all natural skin care products to my customers. Your skin will look and feel fantastic.
