Clean Beauty Awards facial care selection 2022

Hi Lovelies,

It’s that time of year again and I am a judge for the Clean Beauty Awards 2022! This year I was assigned the category of natural facial care. The products I received were mainly facial cleansing milks and I had a facial soap, a micellar makeup remover and a honey cleanser to try out. I adore being part of this amazing process each year.

I received the products one by one over the space of a couple of months and I dedicated at least a week to each one. I was happy to have the category of facial cleansers as I was running out of my own and these came at just the right time. read more

Hi Beauties,

Been super busy lately so excuse my absence from the blog but I am super excited that I’m a judge for the CertClean Beauty Awards 2019! I am absolutely delighted and honoured to be chosen for such a worthy role.

As you may know, the beauty industry is highly under-regulated, therefore we need proper certification to be sure our products are free from harmful ingredients that can affect our hormones, reproductive systems and neurological functioning.

They are vegan, contain only natural preservatives and no nasties. There are no synthetic fragrances and all packaging is recyclable.

Hit and Miss Natural Beauty Product Review

May 24, 2018 2 Comments

This is the first ever hit and miss natural beauty product review I have done on the blog. Reason being, I like to show you what works for me and what doesn’t, even though everyone is different. I have combination skin with some dark spots from years of hormonal acne, the wrong products, wrong skin care and of course, the sun! Luckily, I discovered natural skincare a few years ago and since then my spots have retreated and I only get the odd breakout of a pesky spot now and then. Hallelujah!!! read more
