Ere Perez – Fresh Beauty Finds

Welcome back, dear friends! Have you tried Ere Perez beauty before? This Australian natural cosmetics brand creates high quality, healthy, and easy to use beauty. Perhaps best known for its gorgeous makeup pieces, the brand formulates nourishing skincare too. Ere Perez, a Mexican-born natural therapist, is the creator of this stunning brand. And, although I’ve admired Ere Perez from a distance for some time, this is my first foray into the cruelty-free brand. The brand selects natural oils, plant extracts, and minerals with great care. Many of the items have sun protection in mind. In each product, you’ll find health-giving and beneficial ingredients inside. Being naturally beautiful encompasses everything about our lives. It’s being kind to ourselves and our fellow creatures; being thoughtful and considerate of other people; conscious of conserving the beauty of our planet and making the most our own natural beauty and recognising our inner strength.

Nordic natural skincare for all

I was so pleased to meet Jenny from Koti Lifestyle. Although her Nordic natural skincare store, Koti Lifestyle, is now closed – the introduction opened up the world of Nordic natural skincare to me. Nordic skincare is some of the most beautiful and effective skincare available. It’s deeply influenced by the desire to protect the environment, with many products leaning toward plastic-free zero waste options. Many of us recognise the simplicity of the Nordic lifestyle and its focus on nature to heal and rejuvenate. Nordic children are raised to be thankful to nature. Nature also provides such powerful ingredients, although we sometimes tend to forget them in our chemical-infused lives. Jenny Nordic You’ll find skincare with multiple uses, that’s environmentally conscious, and harnesses all the power of Nordic natural ingredients. And what power! Nordic skincare is hard working and tough! The plants from which Nordic ingredients are derived endure extreme…

Spring skincare finds with Persephone Beauty

How are you today? I hope you’re well and confinement isn’t bringing you down too much. We all miss our family and friends immensely! Just a quick post today to let you know about the skincare finds I picked up at Persephone Beauty. Persephone Beauty is a natural and organic online beauty store showcasing handpicked conscious beauty. It was founded by lovely wife and husband team Laura and Chris, and named after Persephone – the beautiful Greek goddess of all things nature and springtime. We named ourselves after Persephone because she represents a feminine connection to nature, with spring coinciding with her annual return from Hades.⁣⁣ Laura had the idea for Persephone Beauty during her pregnancy, when like so many of us, she really began to scrutinise and question the ingredients in her skincare and beauty. She truly cares about finding the right skincare, and you can find all her…

HoliFrog cleansers – the importance of the right cleanser

Cleansing, especially with HoliFrog cleansers, is the best part of my daily skincare routine. It prepares me for the day, and it helps me unwind at night. It’s a loving ritual towards myself; a refreshing yet comforting mood-boosting experience that I always look forward to! And it goes without saying that cleansing is really important for healthy and good looking skin. It removes makeup and dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells, and prepares skin for further treatments. It’s so much more than just removing daily makeup and grime! Have a skincare concern? There’s a cleanser for that, since many great cleansers are tailored towards your specific skin concern. Breakouts or dull skin? Try an acid wash with smoothing AHAs. Dry, uncomfortable skin? Try a milky wash with calming fatty acids and aloe vera. I’m always excited to try new and interesting cleansers, so I was hopping on my seat…

Stabilised Vitamin C Serum – Benefits & Use

Hi, beauty lover! It’s good to see you here! Last year I introduced a stabilised vitamin C serum into my daily routine. It’s made a huge difference to my skin. I experienced brighter and smoother skin with fewer age spots and freckles. And now I’m a dedicated daily vitamin C user! In this post, we’ll be discussing: All in line with your natural and organic sensibilities! Sound good? Great! But first… What is a stabilised vitamin C serum? Traditionally, vitamin C came to our skincare products as L-Ascorbic Acid (LAA, the synthetic and chemical name for vitamin C). Pure is good, right? Not always, and especially not for sensitive skin. LAA is potent, but unstable. It has the potential to cause irritation during an initial settling in period and beyond. If used incorrectly it can damage skin, and it might not be the best choice for people with the most…

Tamaar Skincare, transforming skin naturally

Welcome back natural beauty lovers! Today I’m sharing an absolutely gorgeous brand and their wonderfully effective natural beauty products. Introducing Tamaar Skincare. Do you ever feel like the stronger the result from skincare, the more the risk involved?

This is how I feel about Tamaar skincare! Using natural products does not mean you compromise on results. We combine the best natural ingredients, used traditionally across the world, with modern technology to give you the results you want for your skin.

Balmonds skincare
Eczema & Psoriasis

Balmonds skincare – calm & clear skin

As an eczema and psoriasis sufferer, Balmonds skincare has been on my radar for some time. When I learned they were looking for bloggers with troubled skin to try their range, I naturally jumped at the chance. Balmonds began with a mother so desperate to find an effective, non-steroidal moisturiser for her daughter’s painful skin that she ended up making one herself. I’ve suffered with psoriasis since about 6 years old. My skin has always had a patch of it somewhere. Usually it affects my scalp, hairline, and elbows, but little dots flare up all over when I’m stressed. Since becoming a parent, I developed dyshidrotic eczema on my hands. It seems to have been triggered by the frequency of washing up and laundry, but it may have been hormonal. Rubber gloves also trigger it. It’s hard to pin down a cause. But I end up with tiny incredibly itchy…

Odylique Skincare Review

Welcome back natural beauty lovers! Today I’m sharing special skincare products from one of my favourite natural beauty brands – Odylique. We’re going to look at several Odylique skincare products – every day skin care with the focus on supporting our skin through its healthy ageing process. Odylique is one of the original organic health & beauty pioneers, first certified organic by the Soil Association in 2003 and creators of the world’s first certified organic shampoo. They believe that the best skincare for anti-aging is all natural, organic, nutrient rich formulas! Nobody wants to age prematurely. Genetics play a large part in how your skin will age, but a healthy lifestyle is the best way to slow down the appearance of ageing. Protection from the sun, actives like vitamin C and retinol are useful. But a good basic skincare routine as part of a healthy lifestyle is a must. Since…
