100% Natural Skincare by Moor Spa Review

December 16, 2020 No Comments

Hello Beauties,

Today I am happy to bring you a review of this amazing 100% natural skincare by Moor Spa. As you may know I am a huge natural skincare fanatic and I am forever raving about the benefits of going ‘au naturel’. I have been trying lots and lots of natural skin care brands over the past 6 years or so since discovering that cutting out harsh chemicals and taking the natural route, cleared my adult acne. Ever since I made that fateful discovery, I have never looked back!

I was a lucky girl to be sent some fabulous and gorgeously branded products by Moor Spa so I have been using the Hydrating serum, the Kelp enzyme mask and the Nourishing facial oil for almost 2 weeks now. Normally I expect to see results in a couple of weeks but I was so impressed by this trio, I noticed immediate results after using on the first night! Kudos to that 😀 read more

My Current Natural Skincare Regime

February 13, 2019 2 Comments

Hi Beauties,

Hope you’re all keeping well. I decided to do a post on my current natural skincare regime since I feel I have finally found the right products and my skin has improved immensely. The harsh winter weather took a toll on my skin at the beginning but now I have my skin back to normal so I will share with you my fave natural skincare heroes.

To be honest, it has been many many years of trial and error with my previously problem skin. I battled acne all through my teens and twenties and even into my early thirties. If you follow my blog you will know that natural skincare was the answer to all my problems. I finally feel confident in my own skin after years of insecurity and worry. read more

Acure Brilliantly Brightening facial scrub in plastic tube bottle

Hi Beauties,

I have been hearing great things about the Acure range for some time now. I happened to come across the Acure Brilliantly Brightening facial scrub recently and seen a few top reviews. I decided to check it out for myself and I have to say I am so impressed! I normally read the reviews on a certain product before buying just to see what other people are saying and if it will be good for my skin type and so on. I was amazed to see such a high volume of top ratings online, mainly 5 stars and lots of people singing their praises. The Brilliantly Brightening facial scrub was one particular product that appealed to me, so I went ahead and bought it. The range is reasonably priced so that is a huge plus point for starters. It is suitable for all skin types. read more

My Favourite Oils for Skin and Hair Health

October 31, 2017 12 Comments

Hi Guys,

I decided to compile a list of my favourite oils for skin and hair health to outline the various benefits and uses of these organic and natural beauty wonders! Hope they are useful for you and teach you a bit more about them so that you will try them out in your beauty routine.

These are my top faves in alphabetical order –

Almond Oil

Almond oil is made from almonds which are actually a fruit, rather than a nut but known mainly as a nut. The oil is pressed from the fruits seeds. The ground up almonds are a gentle exfoliant and rich in vitamin E. Aids in the removal of dead skin cells and renewal of skin. When the oil is absorbed by the skin, it protects it, even having a low SPF against the rays. It has a lovely consistency and blends well. Works best when massaged into the skin. Sweet almond oil is also great for hair growth and can work brilliantly as a serum. I have curly and often prone to frizz hair so I love using it to tame my unruly mane. You only need a tiny amount as it spreads well. I also use it on my eyelashes with a cotton pad as it promotes eyelash growth so its a fabulous all-rounder. Soothing for sensitive skin. Gentle enough for babies. read more
