Rose hip oil is something I use often on my sensitive skin. I read an article some months ago detailing the benefits of the oil for use on the skin.This is mainly down to the fact that it consists of 80% essential fatty acids. I have heard that many people drink Rose hip tea as it’s chocker...

I had many requests for a more Summer appropriate wash bar, exfoliator and cream. I originally just made these for myself  to prepare my skin for a beach holiday. I ended up bringing them all with me and used them for the whole trip. I was was so delighted with myself that I decided to add them...

I have been a busy little bee this week. I have been trying to find an alternative to bath bombs. I was sick of the waste and the breakage and fancied something a little more grown up. I experimented for quite some time and finally came up with a recipe that was as fantastic in reality as it was...

If you read the tiny print on a bottle of insect repellent like I did it’d spur you on to try something natural. You can make your own insect repellent without any harmful chemicals.It also doubles as a moisturising oil. You only need five ingredients to make the oil. I used to buy my oils from...

I love bath products. Today I tried Lush Glorious Mud body mask. This is essentially a fizzy cube that cleanses the skin. You rub the cube all over your body in the shower. According to Lush’s site the cubes contain Aloe Vera which is soothing and sesame which moisturises. They contain bicarbonate...

I am recording my May favourites later and was gathering the products I needed when I realised that there is one item that I have relied heavily on last month. No fancy creams or expensive make-up just exfoliating gloves. I have tried quite a few brands of exfoliating gloves but my favourites are...

I have been testing Lush Almond & Coconut Smoothie and thought it was about time I shared my thoughts with you. Here we go… The good: It’s not drying on my skin It doesn’t cause a kp reaction (the yuck bumps on the backs of my arms) although  it didn’t get rid...

I used to have natural bath bomb in my soap store but I didn’t like the bomb idea. I wanted something more elegant and luxurious so I started experimenting. Here is what I came up with…. It’s like a bath bouquet. I need your help naming it. As you know my soap store is now called...

My skin has recently been reeping the rewards of Jojaba oil. I add a little to my soaps and my night serum. Since it’s so widely accessible I thought I’d share a little about its benefits and uses. I’m all on for affordable ways to improve  my skin. What is Jojoba? Jojoba is a...

After listing the ingredients in cosmetics that are best avoided (click here to see list) , I decided to post an overview of a natural skincare line that I like, Liz Earle. Some of the products are amazing whilst some are a wee bit boring… What do you think of Liz Earle skincare?

I often wonder whether the benefits of my skincare products outweigh the negatives. There are other times when I find myself irritated by the fact that after continued use of a product my skin conditions flare. Here are some ingredients that are known to cause irritation, allergic reaction and in...

There is nothing worse than a breakout on the delicate skin on your chest or your back. I know this a common problem but that we ladies tend not to bring it up. I hate the idea of applying a shower gel designed for breakouts. They can dry the rest of your skin. It also means that you are using plenty...
