Sunfragma SPF 25 melting balm in pot with spatula

Hi Natural Beauties,

I have been on the hunt for a natural sunscreen for ages so I was chuffed to find Facetheory Sunfragma SPF 25 Melting Balm. It is a new release by Face Theory who are my absolute fave brand. If you follow my blog you will know this, since I often gush about their products. My skin has evolved beautifully since discovering the natural skincare brand.

It comes with a 5 star UVA rating and is a broad spectrum sunscreen. It contains plant-based solvents and best-in-class UVA and UVB filters (Tinosorb® S and Uvinul® A Plus). read more

Best All Natural Skincare Recipes

April 4, 2018 8 Comments

Hi Friends,

Today I am sharing my tried and tested best all natural skincare recipes. I am a huge believer in natural skincare and have been for years since discovering it. I had never been successful in clearing my hormonal spots after many years of trying every lotion and potion on the market (pretty much!). I genuinely believed from following the media that I needed something chemical made in a lab with the latest exotic plant to heal my recurring acne. I had often read about natural methods such as DIY products but always fobbed them off as too gentle to deal with what I considered severe problem skin. What I didn’t realise was that the harsh chemicals were making my sensitive skin worse and actually stripping the natural oils. The process makes your body produce even more oil to replenish it, resulting in more spots and irritation, even skin peeling in some cases. read more

DIY Facial Oils for a Radiant Glow

September 13, 2017 4 Comments

I love a good oil made with beneficial essential oils for the fab results you get and the luxurious and calming feeling of putting it on at night. I am way more likely to spend more time on my skin with the application of an oil rather than a moisturiser or balm. You really feel like massaging the skin and that is a little bit of pampering in itself, especially as a night time ritual when you have time. I have found that massaging the skin is really great for the lymphatic drainage and also the muscle tone of your facial features over time. It has been proven to improve circulation and even prevent wrinkles. Well at least delay the ageing process anyway! That explains when you go for a facial, they always massage your face. Its also a relaxing and nourishing ritual. Just use circular motions and use upward sweeping motions to enjoy the rewards and gain optimum results when using your facial oil. Another great reason to try these is that they are all natural and cheap to make! read more
