Skincare products of the month
Thanks in part to the efforts of celebrity chefs and recent high-profile campaigns, we all know the benefits of organic food - but have you thought about the benefits of going organic in your skincare regime too? Using chemical- and additive-free products will protect your skin from risk of allergies and leave you with an all-natural, youthful glow. Here are four of our favourite ranges...
Mambino Organics(www.manbinoorganics.co.uk)
This brand new collection of 100% natural products is the creation of one of Hollywood's most sought-after facialists Maki Maodus. Our favourite? Youth Glow Omega Face Complex (£16.95) is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil that's rich in essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants. The result is utter radiance!
Laveré(www.lavere.co.uk)
This recently relaunched anti-ageing skincare line comes in four systems: Hydro for ages 25 to 35; Intensive for ages 35 to 45; Solution for ages 45+; and Body Effect for the body. The magic ingredient? Seaweed extract which stimulates the skin and improves the condition of the connective tissue, which in turn boosts blood circulation to purify and tighten the complexion. We love the super-firming Active Body Scrub (£27.50).
Green People (www.greenpeople.co.uk)
Green People have just added some fabulous new products to their must-have all-natural handmade collection. Body Bliss Lotion (£15.99) uses jojoba and green tea to pamper, shea butter to nourish, and rose oil for extra radiance. The deliciously rich Reviving Day & Night Cream (£16.50) and oh-so-creamy Brightening Exfoliator (£15.50) are also new to the range.
Willow(www.willowbeautyproducts.co.uk)
A favourite among skin-savvy celebrities, Willow's Soil Association-approved products are made with wonderful wild blossom. We adore the Organic Moisturising Face Balm (£28), which is full of essential oils and plant extracts to hydrate and protect delicate skin. It really does leave your complexion feeling happier!
