Tea & Tonic Gentle Solitude Face Oil review

Welcome back, skincare lover! I’m so excited about today’s share! It’s the wonderful Tea & Tonic Gentle Solitude Face Oil! I was delighted to discover the UK wellness brand Tea & Tonic. This interesting company matches skincare and teas for your brightest skin and self. I’ll be honest with you. With upwards of 30 facial oils in my collection, and a house move looming, I’m trying to be sensible and rein in my face oils collection until after the move. But Gentle Solitude got me so curious, I had to try it! What fascinates me about Tea & Tonic is their expert blending of local herbs like borage and lavender, with supportive adaptogenic herbs like ashwaghanda, holy basil, and ginseng. Have you heard about adaptogenic herbs? Adaptogen super herbs naturally enhance our resistance to daily stressors, re-balance and support a healthy immune system. These are powerful supportive agents that help…

Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser for baby eczema

Welcome back, my lovely! Today I’m delighted to share a cream that’s improving and soothing Lydia’s eczema. It’s the fabulous Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser! Does your baby suffer with eczema? This condition is estimated to affect up to 20% of infants worldwide. I know I’m not alone in finding my baby’s eczema really distressing. Lydia’s eczema It started when Lydia was about 8 weeks old. When red patches first appeared on her face and thighs, I wasn’t worried. My other children had something similar at her age and it cleared on its own. However, Lydia’s eczema didn’t go away. It got worse, and nothing I did helped. In hindsight, my other children probably had cradle cap, not eczema. We live and learn! It was so sad to see her scratch herself in her sleep, and the itch-scratch cycle left her skin so much worse. Always keeping her nails…

Tam Mason Nourishing Hand Oil review

Welcome back, dear friend. I have a small but mighty share for you this week – it’s the delectable Tam Mason Nourishing Hand Oil! In this post we’re going to talk about why your hands need a hand oil, plus find out all about this fragrant and caring oil. Tam Mason takes hand care to another level with her beautifully scented and cleverly formulated natural skin care. You may remember me featuring Tam Mason Sugar Scrubs back in January last year. Her new product – this gorgeous hand oil with shea butter oil, oat oil, verbena, black pepper, and lavender essential oils, beautifully complements her existing range. It softens the hands and conditions the skin while improving the nails. Why use a hand oil? Have you ever used hand oil before? I afford my hands pretty much the same care as my face. Serums, moisturisers, oils, and SPF – my…

Natalie’s brand came about during her mother’s fight against breast cancer, making finding…

Hi there, dear friend! Back in December, I was delighted to be interviewed by the lovely Natalie Elliott for The Natural Beauty Show on UK Health Radio – talking safe baby skincare.

I was so honoured to be included amongst the other guests, including Baby Centre and Scentered. A true pinch me moment!

Nudge Boutique ~ beautiful plant-based skincare from Norfolk

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m so excited to share with you my thoughts on the Norfolk based skincare brand Nudge Boutique! I’ve been a long time admirer of this hand-crafted vegan skincare since first encountering the brand over on Instagram. Founded by mother and grandmother Jo, Nudge Boutique brings us beautiful formulations that use plant-power to “nudge back” the gloss and glow, and nudge us into making great choices for the environment. Jo’s skincare formulating journey shows a true love for plant ingredients and a passion for promoting women’s skin health and well being. I [also] felt an increased sense of well being from using nature’s ingredients, and at that time, I never knew how important a role this would play in my life. Recognising that skin and haircare needs change as we move into our forties and beyond, Nudge products help us transition our routine into one of balance and hydration. One…

Poppy’s Super Age-Defying Organic Face Oil review

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today’s post is all about the amazing Poppy’s Super Age-Defying Organic Face Oil! In March this year I was so happy to share my thoughts on Poppy’s Natural Skincare – hop over to that article to learn more about the brand. We can’t always control our lives but we can adopt good skincare habits. Poppy Since then, it’s been a pleasure to stay in touch with Poppy. Naturally, I was very excited to hear about new skincare arrivals in her collection. And so, I was even more excited when Poppy asked if I’d like to try one of her newest face oils! But what is this oil? It’s a super luxurious, age-defying oil containing no less than 31 potent botanical ingredients including bakuchiol, amla, and CoQ10. It’s absolutely my favourite face oil right now. I’ve been using it for 6 weeks twice a day – so…
