August 2019 natural beauty empties

August 2019 natural beauty empties – empties much? This month, we used a mountain of products up! And the star product is a beautiful face oil that has brought me a daily glow since Cara’s birth. There’s also shampoo, balms, 2 rose waters, face cream, body lotion, essential oil, and a serum, along with a handful of travel and sample sizes. I hope you enjoy my empties. Natural beauty empties Myroo Skin Boost Serum This little beauty was so kindly gifted by the lovely founder of Myroo, to take in my hospital bag when I had Cara. I’ve enjoyed it almost every day since then! I love everything about it. The fragrance, the way it makes my skin feel, and the glow it brings. It contains rosehip oil plus borage, starflower, and raspberry seed oils to protect against wear and tear and help skin maintain its moisture levels. Rahua Voluminous…

Natural sunscreen for kids & families

As a mum to four little ones, I’ve used a lot of natural sunscreen for kids! From babies, to bigger kids – all tried and tested. And in this post I’m sharing the natural sunscreen for kids we’ve used the most. Step this way if high street and chemist store sunscreens irritate your children’s skin! My favourite natural sunscreens for kids are those that can be used for both adults and children. Packing just one tube saves valuable space in my bag, and a gentle mineral sunscreen works just fine for grown ups too! Peace of mind I’m using the gentlest sun protection there is. Oh, summer. We look forward to it all year, and then it’s over in a flash. But what memories we take away! Happy children playing on the beach, meals together, and whiling the day away lounging in comfy hammocks, if we’re lucky! But with extra UV…

June 2019 natural beauty empties

Welcome to my June 2019 natural beauty empties! It’s been a quiet month for skincare in June. I’ve stepped down from receiving LoveLula boxes and credits for the time being so I can blog about my children and relax more once my bairns are in bed. It’s sad, but I had to prioritise. So, on to this month’s empties, which my kiddies have dominated. My favourite product this month is a very special children’s lotion that’s great for all the family. If you have an itchy skin condition, you need to try this one. There’s also a hair and body wash, rose oil hand cream, dragon fruit bubble bath, creamy body wash, and a liquid organic foundation sample. I hope you enjoy my June empties! Natural beauty empties Odylique Baby Repair Lotion This is a rich and soothing lotion with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, aloe vera to heal, bio-active…

April 2019 natural beauty empties

In this post, I share my April 2019 natural beauty empties. During April I’ve used up quite a lot of products – go me! The star product this month is a gorgeous balm that I’ve been using on my psoriasis, which is still covering my hands and arms and is something I’m just about managing. There’s also luscious lip balm, coconut baby wash and konjac sponge, hand cream, moisturiser, sun cream, shampoo, and a handful of travel and sample sizes. Enjoy my empties! Natural beauty empties Bria Balm I’ve absolutely loved using this and it’s a definite repurchase. The silky balm is batch produced to relieve dry, itchy skin that’s prone to eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. With replenishing borage oil, repairing rosehip, and cooling chickweed to calm itching, it’s helped manage my psoriasis keeping it comfortable and reducing its severity. Definitely one to try if you or your little ones…

Support ageing hands with Alteya Organics Hand Cream

In this post, I’d love to introduce you to Alteya Organics Hand Cream, a lovely rose oil based hand cream I’ve been using the last few weeks. Officially titled Alteya Organics Age Defense Hand Cream, this hand cream is perfect for all ages, but is particularly suited to mature skins. It not only actively treats the signs of ageing like dehydration and skin discolouration, but it future-proofs skin against further pigmentation. It’s true that hands are one of the first places to show the signs of ageing. Along with the face and neck, they’re the body part most frequently exposed to damaging UV rays, wind, and cold. When you think about all the things your hands do on a daily basis, it’s no wonder they start to age faster than everywhere else. And despite how we live and what we do, collagen is inevitably lost from the skin over time.…

Why I use oil-free night serums

This post is all about the ritual of oil-free night care – why you might want to try going oil-free at night, the benefits to your skin, how to do it, and my pick of wonderful oil-free night serums. By oil-free I mean serums containing no or very low amounts of oil. No base or carrier oils, just small amounts of beneficial essential oils. It’s a little unusual as a beauty blogger to avoid all the lovely oil-based night creams and serums on offer. But it’s something I’ve done for about 10 years, and I feel my skin benefits. Maybe it’s for you, too? It was Dr. Hauschka that inspired me to switch to oil-free skincare at night. Just read this quote from Annette Greco, Head of Galenic Development at Dr. Hauschka, on nighttime with Dr. Hauschka skincare. During the day, your skin can use the protection and nourishment offered by…
