Choosing Safe Baby Skincare Products

Parents need and want baby care products they can trust for their baby but they also want products that provide the moisture, cleansing and protection necessary to support gentle fragile skin. The market is saturated with products so where do they start? As a new mum I was just as guilty as the next mum of believing the marketing spin of big companies out to capitalise on this growing sector. I bought into products that smelt of my child hood and advertising that promised the earth. Little did I know I was buying cheap chemical laden products bulked up with cheap fillers to make them look like

How to keep lips kissable all summer long

Summer sun, wind and, if you’re in the UK, rain can wreak havoc on our skin. I know as before I learnt about more natural skincare and reduced the chemicals in my products and diet I always suffered with dry skin and even eczema. But by far the most difficult area for me to get to grips with was my lips. Lots of people suffer with dry, chapped, lips in the winter, but for me the summer, with its shift in temperature, has always been just as bad. I thought it was something I simply had to put up with until now. This summer one of my Arbonne team mentioned her favourite product and it quite

Skin detox with Rescue & Renew

Arbonne have just launched their new Rescue & Renew range to reinvigorate and help detox your skin and your mind. Having just returned from Las Vegas and Arbonne’s Global Training conference I really see the power of detoxification. My skin is in a mess. My legs and arms are really dry from sun exposure, chemicals in the swimming pool and generally over doing it! You know what I say - put rubbish in and you get rubbish out.

I’ve just started to switch to a darker foundation as the weather warms up and my skin picks up a bit of natural tan but incorrectly applied makeup can actually age you. Here’s the key mistakes to avoid to ensure your makeup isn’t ageing you. Too pale foundation Make sure you get a really good colour match for your foundation as too pale a foundation can age our skin. Foundation is best colour matched in natural daylight so it’s no wonder that when we buy a foundation at one of the overly bright department stores

Want to reduce and prevent crows feet?

We all want to look our best and here’s how you can reduce the look of crows feet and laughter lines. The sun and exposure to UV rays is a major factor contributing to the appearance of Crow’s Feet or Laughter Lines as I’d prefer to call them. The sun is the number one cause of ageing with mineral oil, a bi-product of the petro chemical industry, and in over 90% of retail skincare brands, being second in line. The skin around the eyes is exposed to the sun more regularly and typically with less protection than the rest of the face so it’s no wonder we often start to show our age in this area
