Inspired by Maria

New year, new beginnings. But how did everything start? Who has been that inspiring catalyst? One day, a friend of mine, seeing my excited return to all-things nature, mentioned Maria Hannaford’s blog Econest, now The Society Co. It was a godsend! I got so enthusiastic with Maria’s recipes for glorious natural skin care, that I

Dry skin? Moisturise in the morning

Have you got dry skin? Then put your moisturiser on in the morning, instead of at night. The reason why? Because the body is busy producing all the natural oils during the night. So if you moisturise before going to bed you are sending a message to your body that it got enough oils, and

Make the most of your facial oil

While I don’t like water in my products (think bacteria and preserving issues), water is the best companion when using my products.

With its sweet, light, floral aroma and a hint of rose, it is also great for senses. In skin care palmarosa essential oil is particularly beneficial for its moisturising, calming

How natural is natural?

Now that I carefully look at ingredients list on the packaging, I must admit I sometimes get confused when reading product labels. What is natural? And what is safe? Unfortunately the use of “natural” on many products is so misleading that discerning between truly natural and so-called natural becomes quite difficult. Would you call Phenoxyethanol
