Green Beauty Swaps

making natural oils in a lab for green beauty

Hi lovelies,

Today I am writing about my green beauty swaps since making the change gradually over the space of around 6 years. As you may know, I have been on a green beauty journey since discovering natural ingredients and plant-based beauty cleared my adult acne. Even when I started this blog back then, I was still transitioning.

For example, I used to think the only way to clear my acne was to go for the strongest chemicals and newest technology in order to obtain clear skin. I tried everything from Proactiv – which bleached my pillowcases and face cloths (yikes) to Clearasil – full of harsh chemicals and overpowering smell. They just seemed to either not work or actually aggravate my skin and strip it of its natural oils. read more

Kleem organics moisturiser with retinol and vit c serum

Hi Beauties,

Today I bring you a review of my newfound skincare products, Kleem Organics Advanced Retinol Moisturiser and Vitamin C Serum. I have been trés busy working and minding the kids so haven’t had much time to blog lately! However, my youngest started back at creche the other day and now I have a few spare moments in the morning, yay!

I am so happy to be back to my beloved blog, I have missed it! So I thought I would share my latest natural skincare finds with you. As you may know, I love retinol and although not a natural product, it is derived from vitamin A and to be honest, it seems to work miracles for me! I normally only use natural products in my beauty arsenal but retinol is a holy grail product in my eyes so I use it every night. read more

Hi Lovelies,

Today I am sharing with you my AM & PM natural skincare routine. I alternate various natural skincare products so that my skin can get the most benefits from the different ingredients. It is important to establish a routine as far as skincare goes, in my opinion.

I have to say, my skin is looking and feeling great right now. So here are my current AM & PM natural skincare routines – read more

The Raw Beauty Box Edition by Look Fantastic

April 9, 2019 No Comments

Hi Beauties,

April has been quite the month for beauty boxes! The Raw Beauty Box Edition by Look Fantastic was irresistible to me so I had to get it. Last week I had The Cruelty Free Beauty Box review and next week I have yet another fab organic and natural beauty box on the way!!! So excited, I love subscription boxes. They are a lovely gift to yourself for some self care and who doesn’t love getting a gift-wrapped pressie full of gorgeous goodies in the post?

I think I am becoming a bit of a subscription box addict now. That is 4 this month, I can’t believe it. I won’t divulge what the next two are but they are all great value and full of natural, organic skincare and makeup. The “Raw” Beauty Box Edition by Look Fantastic is a one-off special edition since they don’t normally do a 100% pure/natural box. They do often feature natural products but this is a real treat so I had to grab one! read more

Jojoba oil is a fantastic natural moisturiser and skin balancer. I began using Jojoba oil for clear and balanced skin last year. It is a definite favourite of mine. That is why I have decided to dedicate a whole blog post to it!

Jojoba has been around for centuries and stood the test of time. I can strongly recommend Jojoba oil for clear and balanced skin. I have been using it for a while now and my skin feels soft, balanced and moisturised without feeling oily or greasy. read more
