How Micellar Water Works

I’m new to the world of Micellar Water – I know where have I been living for the past 10 years. When I heard the phrase Cleansing Waters I honestly thought we were talking about the likes of the Bath Spa and Jane Austin! Now I love a bit of Jane Austin but here’s the real facts about Micellar water! Turns out they are a beauty phenomenon for good reason. In the dark old days, removing make-up, especially around the eyes, could be troublesome especially if you were using face wipes of a drying foaming cleanser. The arrival of French, no-rinse, micellar water was revolutionary as a single piece

How to Marie Kondo your makeup and skincare

I’m a bit of a hoarder. There I’ve said it and I’m out. I love tying up the bits of ribbon that come off parcels, and pretty boxes never seem to get thrown away. I’m a sucker for a tin – cake, biscuit, tea, notecard. I have a collection of empty Arbonne Genius Bottles – you know those little tiny bottles with the Phytinol (Vitamin A) in them that literally takes your skin to another level, which I regularly use to display garden flowers. My garage is filled with stuff! But I also love tidying. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than a good clear out, setting a box To Throw, a box To Rehome and

Valentine's Day Ideas

I’ve just celebrated a Birthday, thank you for asking, I had a super time, and before I know it Valentine’s day is upon us. Buying presents for anyone post Christmas is a struggle as so many people are still returning Christmas gifts and you don’t want to add to the stock pile! Here’s a set of Valentine gifts, for him and her, that are designed to please even the trickiest love in your life! Sometimes it’s nice to treat the one you love to an experience rather than just a gift that will be eaten in five minutes - and will undo all the good of the January detox. So why not enjoy a spa treatment

Skincare secrets for the under 30s

I know, I know, it’s a boring statement your mother makes but it’s also a fact: Caring for your skin consistently, at a young age, is easier and less expensive than trying to fix or minimise the signs of ageing once they appear on your face later on. But where should you start? Starting as early as possible, everyone needs to know their skincare facts. That means establishing a consistent skincare routine and eating a less processed, more nutrient rich diet to help achieve healthy looking skin and a long lasting youthful appearance. Skincare at this stage might also need to focus on combatting

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

Simple steps to detoxing the body

Detoxification is a vital process that helps bring the appearance of vitality back to dull, lack-lustre looking skin. But where should you start. In today’s fast paced world, daily skin aggressors like stress, pollution, sun exposure, and lack of quality sleep can have an effect on the look of your skin. Following a consistent self-care ritual and regularly taking the time to relax, restore and renew with detoxification can restore skin to a balanced, beautiful look. Everyday, skin is subject to oil, perspiration, debris, makeup, and environmental pollutants. These factors, combined with

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
