Fantastic facial oils

Whatever your skincare goal, the right facial oil will help you to achieve it. Facial oils are among the best products in the cosmeceutical market today. They should be a staple skincare for everyone who cares about their skin, regardless of skin type. I first discovered facial oils when training as a Neal's Yard Remedies facialist in London. As students, we practiced routines on each other. With combination and acne-prone skin, I was more than a little worried when I felt oil on my face during a practice session - although it didn't feel greasy, which was a surprise. It was the Neal's Yard Remedies Orange Flower Facial Oil (£26 for 30ml - 100% natural) (I recommend for anyone under 30 years of age), which left my skin looking and feeling amazing for days. I then discovered that, contrary to popular belief, oils are not just for dry skin. There are over 50 different types of fatty acids in oils, and each oil has its own unique composition. These range from dry oils (non

LUSH - Avocado conditioning shampoo bar

I've always loved the LUSH brand, for their ethics and innovation. I don't love everything they sell (the strong smelling items aren't my thing), but they definitely make some magic gems that smell divine and make me feel more beautiful. And I love being confident that the money I'm investing is, in turn, being invested in good things!

PLUS, what really stands them apart is that they actively campaign on the issues of animal rights, human rights and environmental protection. Their campaigning capabilities are driving long-term change, much needed in our precious but battered world. Read more about their Ethical Charter. I'll be blogging about a few of their products over the coming months, but the Avocado Shampoo Bar is the first on my list as I

Natural skincare beauty on a budget-Published in Echo Weekend

There are so many all-natural beauty buys that are fabulous for the skin and can be bought on a budget. Below are just a few of them, which you can buy from supermarkets, health food stores and online at www.aromantic.co.uk 1. Sweet almond oil is fabulous for removing make-up and cleansing the skin. It’s cheap, lasts forever and is a gentle and excellent cleanser for both eye make-up and the face. Simply apply a small amount to a cotton wool pad and use small circular motions to remove dirt and make-up. Your skin will look soft and radiant immediately. You can also put a small amount in in a nice hot bath, soaking in it for as long as you like, and emerging with beautiful body skin for days. Always opt for cold pressed and unrefined as it’s more natural. 2. Muslin cloths. Forget about expensive exfoliators. Use a damp muslin cloth and small circular motions to gently remove dead skin cells and excess dirt from your face once/weekly. Apply a small amount of sweet alm
