Pamper your baby with the Nom Nom Baby Mini Set

Welcome back my friend! In today’s post, I’m sharing the delightful Nom Nom Baby Mini Set! This cute set was kindly gifted to me by Jayne Russell, massage and nutritional therapist, and founder of Nom Nom skincare.

Typology Scrubs and Masks + Body: New In

Welcome back, skincare lover! This post is all about new additions to the Typology skincare line. We’re going to chat about the fabulous Typology scrubs and masks, plus their new body care additions – an effective body scrub and a minimalist 10-ingredient body moisturiser. Have you heard of Typology before? Typology are one of my favourite clean skincare brands right now! They’re all about sustainable, simple, and effective. You might’ve spotted their beautiful minimalist brand aesthetic that’s super appealing. Back in July last year I reviewed several gorgeous Typology products that the brand so kindly sent to me when they launched in the UK. If you’d like to learn more about the brand story, you should definitely take a look! Since then, I’ve heard from the brand twice about trying newly launched products. To my shame, my backlog has meant a delay in bringing them here to you, my dear!…

Poppy’s Natural Skincare for dry skin

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today the focus is on a very lovely brand I’ve known about for a while but only recently had the pleasure of trying – it’s Poppy’s Natural Skincare! I was over the moon when Poppy introduced herself over on Instagram. We chatted about skincare and my skin, which was lovely. Poppy very kindly asked if I’d like to try her award winning natural skincare. Of course, I jumped at the chance. And when it came to Poppy’s attention that I have psoriasis on my scalp (currently under control), elbows (a little sore) and eczema on my hands (water filled blisters, itchiness, redness, soreness), she was eager to talk with me on the phone about my skin conditions. Of course it was lovely to chat with Poppy on the phone and our conversation went beyond skincare into family, work and more. It was interesting to learn how…

Beauty Cleanse Skincare Anti-Pollution Deep Cleansing Oil Review

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m excited to introduce the latest product in Beauty Cleanse Skincare’s collection. It’s the wonderful Beauty Cleanse Skincare Anti-Pollution Deep Cleansing Oil! As an ambassador for Beauty Cleanse Skincare, I was delighted to be one of the first to try this cleansing oil. I’ve had a week to try it and it’s fast becoming one of my favourite oil cleansers. I know you will love it too, because along with being incredibly effective, it’s also inclusive. Wonderfully suited to all skin types, gender-neutral, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Face oils for winter: 3 of the best for happy skin

Hello again, skincare lover! Today I want to talk about using face oils for winter skincare. Winter is a troublesome time for skin. But it’s not just the cold temperature that bites. Dry winter air robs skin of vital moisture, leading to dehydration. Sadly, problems like eczema and psoriasis are worsened in colder months. But adding a face oil to your winter routine morning and night protects and nourishes your skin. It can improve and strengthen the skin barrier so that skin is better defended from the elements. And what’s more, face oils address specific skin concerns. For dry skin, using a face oil regularly can reduce dry patches and minimise fine lines. For acne prone skin, face oils can help calm the inflammation. And all skins benefit from the anti-ageing benefits of face oils. Sounds worth it, right? So, let’s talk about 3 of my very favourite face oils…

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…

Just like a Mean Green Superfood Smoothie full of fruits and veg can give a burst of essential nutrients to the body, these beauty drops will give a similar boost to the skin and hair making them instantly nourished, revived and refreshed.
