These are just some of the phrases our society is buying into these days.

With the commercialized skincare products on the market, how many are truly made from all natural, organic products that are not only healthy for our skin, but also for our wallets?

EXO Skincare, owned by Jillian Perillo-Pugliese and Francine Pisano Carabetta, both from Pittston, is dedicated to present local customers with a healthy, all natural product line.

“My son was born with an extreme case of eczema and I tried every product out there,” Jillian said, “but nothing helped. So I decided to try and create a remedy for him that ultimately cleared up his eczema.”

EXO Skincare offers all natural, preservative free, organic products created from plants and flowers found in Jillian’s own backyard and numerous others throughout the world. Jillian concocted her own brand of skincare products that are so far working for many of her customers.

EXO Skincare product line includes lotions, exfoliants, eye creams, face serum, and shaving creams that moisturize the skin. All products are fragrance free and include seaweed, Aragon oil, lavender, mountain herbs and other organic materials.

EXO Skincare offers reasonable pricing for their products, Jillian said. She said she wants her customers to afford the “luxury of high end” organic products. The products fit within anyone’s budget ranging from $5 to around $32.

“We were having a customer appreciation sale in late November,” Lou Ann Arcanase of Philadelphia Hair Design said, “and we invited EXO Skincare to join us to launch their product line.”

Since then, EXO Skincare has expanded its availability through local salons and day spas. You can find these products not only at Philadelphia Hair Design in Pittston, but also at the Bella Madre Salon, Signatures Hair and Nail Salon, and Sports Page, all in West Pittston, Sorella Hair Salon and Day Spa in Plains, or at all of Mary Taylor’s five locations.

On February 6 you can join Jillian Perillo-Pugliese at Sorella’s Hair Salon on North River Street in Plains from 11 to 2 for free facials and hand massages using the EXO Skincare product line.
