The Peppered MothIn the early 1900s, Bessie Bawtry, a small child with big notions, lives in a South Yorkshire mining town in England. Precocious and refined in a land of little ambition and much mining grime, Bessie waits for the day she can escape the bleak, coarse existence her ancestors had seldom questioned.

In the early 1900s, Bessie Bawtry, a small child with big notions, lives in a South Yorkshire mining town in England. Precocious and refined in a land of little ambition and much mining grime, Bessie waits for the day she can escape the bleak, coarse existence her ancestors had seldom questioned.Nearly a century later Bessie's granddaughter, Faro Gaulden, is listening to a lecture on genetic inheritance. She has returned to the depressed little town in which Bessie grew up and wonders at the families who never left. Confronted with what would have been her life had her grandmother stayed, she finds herself faced with difficult questions. Is she really so different from the South Yorkshire locals? As she soon learns, the past has a way of reasserting itself-not unlike the peppered moth that was once thought to be nearing extinction but is now enjoying a sudden unexplained resurgence.
The Peppered Moth is a brilliant novel, full of irony, sadness, and humor.

Sooo good!
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
This is AMAZING! I used this over my serums and a retinol moisturizer before bed and woke up with the most moisturized and smooth skin I’ve had in forever. It’s a thick consistency but smooths on easily. It is a bit tacky for a little bit before it dries down but absolutely worth it. I learned about this on Beautiful and Bothered and Johnny is right!!

A little goes a long way
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
I love overnight masks, especially for dull winter skin, and this is a really nice one! The texture is extremely thick and jelly like and it has a lovely cooling effect. It didn’t clog my pores or irritate my skin, though I do find that it feels a bit heavy and stifling if applied very liberally. But, after a few tried I’ve finally found the right amount, a little goes a very long way. Because of that, this little pot should last me a long time, even with regular use so it’s a great value! I like to layer it over my barrier protecting/repair products or over retinols and I wake up with hydrated, bright, and fresh skin in the morning! Highly recommend.

So extremely hydrating
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
Best hydrating mask I have ever seen! Used it once so far at night. I would only use at night because it is sticky and stays sticky BUT so worth it! I had applied it 3 hours before going to sleep. During that 3 hours I could see it working. My skin kept getting plumper by the hours. I am 62 years old with deep wrinkles and very dry skin. Guess what...my skin was not dry all day after using this mask overnight. Can not wait to keep using it. My deep wrinkles are plumped up. I have bouncy skin.

Great, way better than "slugging"!
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
It's heavy, but less so than Vaseline. Vaseline causes me to breakout even though I'm constantly told it shouldn't. This feels sticky, but otherwise calming and seems to help my skin heal. I have pcos - large pores and produce extra oil, rosacea, and just very sensitive skin. You definitely have to let it sit before laying down but my skin is always less irritated in the morning.

It's just okay
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
Meh. I feel like it just stayed on top of my skin and didn't really help. Not bad, but nothing special.
