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.…

Natural hairsprays to fix your style

Natural hairsprays are the answer to those looking to lead a cleaner lifestyle. We all know that hairspray is a must to set your style, increase its longevity, and control stray hairs. But many conventional hairsprays contain less than desirable ingredients for those trying to live a cleaner life. Read on to learn why natural hairspray is a better choice for you, your children and the environment, plus my top picks of natural hairsprays to choose from. Why you should choose natural hairsprays Most hairsprays add volume and texture and help to give your hair a finished look and feel. But the biggest concern with some conventional hairspray should be the safety warning it comes with, including irritation to skin and eyes, and drowsiness. Synthetic fragrance could also cause concern because its formula need not be disclosed by the manufacturer. Many natural hairsprays use naturally-derived fragrance. In some natural hairsprays…

LoveLula February 2019 Beauty Box review

It’s been 6 months since I last reviewed the LoveLula Beauty Box, although I’ve still enjoyed receiving the odd box. I took a break to relax in the later stages of pregnancy and of course settle in with our new baby. But this month I’m back with it and so glad to share my LoveLula February 2019 Beauty Box review! February’s beauty box contains 5 full-size natural beauty products. It’s worth £60, but costs just £14.95 as a monthly subscriber. Let’s jump straight in and take a look at the natural beauty products. PHB Ethical Beauty Gentle Moisturiser PHB skincare has recently undergone a transformation, with new products in redesigned packaging and glass containers. I like PHB although I did suffer a reaction to one of their cleansers, which is rare for me. But I was delighted to discover this hypoallergenic fragrance-free moisturiser in the box. Although I don’t consider…

January 2019 natural beauty empties

Ready to learn about my January 2019 natural beauty empties! It’s been a year since I started to document my natural beauty empties. I still get a real buzz from finishing a product and including it here. My empties posts are such a nice way to round up the everyday things we use as a family and highlight the stars of my routine. Since the birth of my daughter in November, I’ve had less time for using natural beauty products. But in January things have been a little easier, so I’ve been able to regularly use some of my favourite products again. Hooray for looking after myself! Expect to find luxury face oil, creamy shower wash, sweet smelling baby bath oil, natural hairspray, and a well-loved pink clay konjac sponge. I hope you find it helpful.

Weleda Skin Food review

In this post read my Weleda Skin Food review. This cult beauty product has well-deserved iconic status amongst beauty editors, bloggers, and makeup artists. Around the world, one tube of Skin Food sells every 23 seconds, making it Weleda’s bestselling natural beauty product. Disclosure: this post contains references to products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. Since 1926, Weleda Skin Food has brought relief and comfort to those with dry skin, and beautified celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Julia Roberts, and Adele. I’ve been a huge Weleda fan since my early 20s, but it took me a while to try Skin Food. I’m so glad I did. Now, I always have a big tube in my bathroom. There’s a travel size tube in my nappy bag, and one in my car – I like to have some pretty much everywhere.…

November 2018 natural beauty empties

November, wow! This month has been all about my darling baby Cara Grace who was born this month. There are only 4 items in my empties this month, for obvious reasons. With a 2 week old baby plus a toddler to care for, my routine has been stripped right down to the very basics. Natural beauty brand Weleda appears in my empties every month without fail, and this month I used another small tube of Weleda Skin Food. I also used up eye gel, shampoo, and maternity pads. Where possible I’ve recycled my packaging. Enjoy my November 2018 natural beauty empties!
