OUR CUSTOMER REVIEWS

  • My skin type is a bit on the oily side. I was having an issue with the weather change of my face breaking out constantly. I decided to try WestMaid's products as a last ditch effort because nothing else seemed to be working or was making it worse. I had so much redness in my cheeks especially. Just days in of using them I already noticed a difference. Within a matter of weeks my face has cleared completely! I’ve continued using them since and I am in love! As a wonderful side benefit it seems to protect my skin from wind burn! That’s something I struggle with big time in the winter months. Not anymore! I highly rate and recommend these products!

  • I was hesitant, but AMAZED by the results. After a week or so of applying the unscented lard lotion to my face,my sunspots and sun damage has nearly disappeared. You have nothing to lose! Highly suggest trying it!

  • As someone who battles ezcema year round, as well as skin allergies, most products don't work for me. Within two weeks, my skin texture completely changed. No itchiness or irritation at all. This is pure animal goodness, no BS at all. I use it on my hands, cuticles, ends of my hair, makeup remover (works great on waterproof mascara) and as a moisturizer. Can't recommend this enough!

  • They soak into the skin really well. They feel so natural! I only really have dry skin in the winter but it works really well for my hands when I come in from working outside. I would say better than anything else I’ve tried!

  • I use the lard soap bar with essential oil to wash my face. It makes my skin feel clean without any residue after rinsing. The lard with essential oil in combination with beeswax feels soothing on my face. It does have a bit of a greasy feel to it, but I like the way it makes my skin moisturized throughout the day. I usually have rosacea flare ups with itchy red bumps on my face throughout the winter. I have been using the products for nearly two months now, and have seen quite an improvement in my complexion. I have also noticed that my acne scars are not as visible since using the lard facial lotion, definitely an added bonus!
