What an adorable natural beauty shop! I heard about La Madre Tierra through one of our villa hosts while visiting Tulum. I love herbal medicine and skincare, and this shop combines both. There are shelves upon shelves of gorgeous, hand crafted products for face, body, and hair, as well as a full shelf of herbal teas. Prices are reasonable in my opinion, but might be steep for someone used to drugstore skincare prices.
One thing that did concern me a bit was that masks weren't enforced within the store - we saw a few customers come in and never bother to put one on - but we realized this is pretty common in Tulum.
I could've spent hours looking around this shop, but we had to move onto our next excursion! I purchased a natural face wash that I've found to be effective, but I accidentally washed my eye area with it and it seriously burned. Word to the wise, keep anything with essential oils out of the eye area. :-) read more
