Why you need multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m excited to talk to you about why you need multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine. We all know and love hyaluronic acid, don’t we? But do you know that the molecular weight of your hyaluronic acid can make a big difference to the long-term hydration and wrinkle-smoothing capabilities of your skincare? It’s true! And in this post I’m going to share everything I know, what the experts say – plus tell you all about some of my favourite multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid serums so you can try them for yourself. First, what is hyaluronic acid? Actually it’s not really an acid at all. According to this study, it’s a group of sugar molecules called polysaccharides found in the skin and joints that can hold many times their own weight in water. When first isolated, HA behaved like a mild acid; therefore, Meyer…

Urea & Lactic Acid Foot Cream formula

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m over the moon to share my formula for my own favourite Urea & Lactic Acid Foot Cream! This cream is a dupe for the amazing CCS Cracked Heel Repair Cream. I’m an amateur dabbler in making my own skincare and cosmetics. I’ve been making my own face creams for about 6 months, but over Christmas I decided to have a go at making a foot cream. Not just any old foot cream but one with ingredients that will make cracked heels and dry skin a thing of the past. Jump straight to recipe. Why use a foot cream with urea and lactic acid? Do you have cracked heels on your feet? You may already know you can’t just apply moisturiser or balm to this area to stop the cracking. What you need is exfoliation! This foot cream stars urea and lactic acid as its…

Weleda mother & baby skin care ~ revisiting the range

Welcome back, skin care lover! Today’s share is one dear to my heart, as I reveal my latest thoughts on Weleda mother & baby skin care. Weleda is the family skin care brand I recommend most frequently to parents. And for good reason – trustworthiness is at the core of this long standing brand. In fact, Weleda has been growing plants organically and creating natural health and wellbeing products for over 100 years. Only the finest ingredients are at the forefront of Weleda products, and the range is proudly NATRUE certified. I have so much fondness for Weleda, so without further ado, let’s take a look at some of my favourite Weleda mother and baby products.

Breast milk lotion with calendula and orange

Welcome back, my friend! Today. I’m super excited to share something I’ve been working on for months. It’s my breast milk lotion with calendula and orange! Jump straight to recipe. I know how much you mamas love to make things with your milk. A popular post on my blog explains how to make a breast milk bath – an easy way to enjoy the skincare benefits of breast milk without too much effort. But in this post, I’m going to show you how you can create your very own breast milk lotion. It has a beautiful silky texture that can be pumped like a regular lotion, absorbs beautifully, and gives your skin all the benefits of breast milk plus way more. First, a note to those who’ve tried to make breast milk lotion before and found that their breast milk lotion separated or split not long after making it. Why breast milk…

Green People Nordic Roots Apple Complex Moisturiser & Marine Facial Oil review

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today’s share shines the spotlight, once again, on the wonderful Green People Nordic Roots line! And in this post I’m sharing my thoughts on two products – the juicy Apple Complex Moisturiser and the divine Marine Facial Oil. Back in September 2020, I tried this line for the first time when I reviewed the Hyaluronic Booster Serum, via the LoveLula Accredited Blogger scheme. It goes without saying I absolutely adore this serum and so I had high hopes for the rest of the line, too. I’ve been a huge fan of Green People for many years. They were one of the brands who inspired me to turn to cleaner beauty products. So I was delighted to hear from Green People, who asked if I’d like to try other products from the Nordic Roots range. What is Nordic Roots? This pared back, yet super effective skincare line…

Organyc cotton products for mum & baby care

Welcome back, my friend! Today’s post is all about the cotton products I’ve been using from Organyc. These products are made with 100% certified organic cotton. They take care of delicate skin in so many ways – think beauty, feminine, maternity, and baby care. Organyc products are naturally absorbent, renewable, and sustainable. The brand promises a comfortable and breathable experience that’s reassuringly free from plastics, dyes, perfumes, pesticides, phthalates, super absorbent polymers, and wood pulp. While it is true that single use cotton products are not the most sustainable option to us, they make a great option when we’re short on time, travelling, or have a new baby and need simplicity and convenience. Lydia and I are having great fun trying out a selection of products from their range, including cotton wool balls, baby wipes, intimate wipes, beauty round pads, and cotton buds. Shall we learn more about them now?…
