Face Theory Pink Clay AHA Mask & CeraQuench Renewal Cream

Face theory pink clay mask and CerQuench cream

Hi Beauties,

I have found my new favourite face mask and I am so happy to be spreading the word about it! It is Face Theory’s pink clay AHA mask. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to try it. I love clay masks as they are the best kind of mask for my skin. I have combination skin which can be prone to the odd blemish so I always use a clay mask to help draw out impurities and balance my skin tone.

I had been hearing great reports about pink clay recently and was eager to try it for myself. I already use a French green clay mask so this one really appealed to me. I will just start by saying, I am a massive Face Theory fan ever since trying their Regencalm retinol serum and glycolic acid cleanser which I wrote about here. 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
