A lot of their products are available in handy travel-sizes, but even if you're not lucky enough to be going away, these miraculous minis are a great way to try the brand before deciding if you want to invest in the full-sizes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are four of my favourites to get you started.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS9ze2Zx9KOXtwJ8oMJc9uWgNYNcWo8kSsPYCuce3ZTdHITAikboQ-zIukUMw2tZP-egpttNkFsvQaQR4Zpzc60DRXP36-5pml5fCY_abxNBVIABZ798O26snrCn_nfyGw7n3RwYwp8psmmb4pHUyQ8iF0a_9VUGb4cHKuxrHPJPLkhC_7NP6OMgin_1vw/s3625/unnamed-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Travel Beauty | Nourish London Skincare Minis review" border="0" data-original-height="2244" data-original-width="3625" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS9ze2Zx9KOXtwJ8oMJc9uWgNYNcWo8kSsPYCuce3ZTdHITAikboQ-zIukUMw2tZP-egpttNkFsvQaQR4Zpzc60DRXP36-5pml5fCY_abxNBVIABZ798O26snrCn_nfyGw7n3RwYwp8psmmb4pHUyQ8iF0a_9VUGb4cHKuxrHPJPLkhC_7NP6OMgin_1vw/s16000/unnamed-1.png" title="Travel Beauty | Nourish London Skincare Minis review" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Nourish London Antioxidant Multi-Tasking Super Balm</span>*<i> (15ml, £13)</i><div><div style="text-align: justify;">This little jar of multi-tasking goodness is perfect for those who are struggling to fit a full skincare routine into their carry-on. You can use this as a deep cleanser, gentle exfoliator, face mask, and an intensive moisturiser. Supercharged with antioxidants and omega-rich plant oils, a tiny amount goes a long way so there's no fear of running out whilst you're on holiday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nourish London Antioxidant Peptide Mist</span>* <i>(15ml, £7)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many friends that I know forget to take a toner/mist with them so make sure to add one of these to your shopping basket before you go. Personally, I love a hydrating facial mist to keep my skin looking fresh and revived, and this Peptide Mist is infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Liquorice for a quick and easy instant brightener for any complexion that's not looking its best after being on a plane for several hours!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nourish London Argan Skin Rescue</span>* <i>(5ml, £10)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Travelling can take its toll on your skin so this suits-all-skin-types Argan Skin Rescue Facial oil is an essential of mine. Just a few drops will transform and boost your skin thanks to a clever formulation of organic Argan Oil, Vitamin C and Abyssinian Oil. Your complexion will feel smoother due its collagen-repairing properties and feel much more hydrated even after the first use.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nourish London Kale 3D Cleanse</span>* <i>(30ml, £9.50)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With its cool colour changing formula, Nourish's award-winning Kale 3D Cleanse makes short work of all your makeup and sunscreen whilst gently removing impurities for overall clearer skin. Suitable for all skin types, it features key ingredients such as Kale, oxygenating extracts, Hyaluronic Acid and Probiotics.

A lovely treat for less than a tenner and they had plenty of others to choose from if you're not a fan of Rose.</div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1zG_KhWBGV078OZr1uAaErGsQr9w8KInooubEPVP8oF0LRfLu5LZZ-wKH_4KEF8eHjbP4FnGOb2Cy6ryu-AoM7aBs2PUiJ8887291PYBtsyRzm_knLEnCCa038WuOA8vPsxlC5ChcwrggDQ9cJU5Lmz09-nOntSfZulnb3gZ70tlO0V9vW_jcXPRxTb30/s3288/unnamed-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Iconic London Kissed By The Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow in Date Night" border="0" data-original-height="3288" data-original-width="2912" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1zG_KhWBGV078OZr1uAaErGsQr9w8KInooubEPVP8oF0LRfLu5LZZ-wKH_4KEF8eHjbP4FnGOb2Cy6ryu-AoM7aBs2PUiJ8887291PYBtsyRzm_knLEnCCa038WuOA8vPsxlC5ChcwrggDQ9cJU5Lmz09-nOntSfZulnb3gZ70tlO0V9vW_jcXPRxTb30/s16000/unnamed-1.png" title="Iconic London Kissed By The Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow in Date Night" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Glowy Bronzer/Highlighter | Iconic London Kissed By The Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow in Date Night</span> <i>(5g, £25, <a href="https://www.iconiclondoninc.com/products/kissed-by-the-sun" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You guys know how much I love a multi-purpose product and I fell head over heels for this much-hyped newbie from <b>Iconic London</b>. Yes, this was definitely one of those 'Instagram made me do it' moments and I have no regrets! These <b>Kissed By The Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glows</b> are insanely beautiful and I had a hard time choosing a favourite. In the end, I opted for <b>Date Night</b> which is the most perfect glowy bronzer-meets-highlighter for olive skin tones. This baby really pops against a summer tan! The powder compact is buttery soft and super blendable so you can apply a light dusting or go to town and layer it up for a more intense glow.</div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqQuVwn8QKJ1v7O_nGmkTqUlqgTtEI7Nl7j3M6D0DKxFDe-qwx5DdJlTMJ_FYY0rJN1bRI-jDRreTnPY5vQzguHxbkyVX6WrACjB3VLHpPx1XLl_QtdbzQtKuHj0Rr0A4I5lC3H6mvImVllazI7OxA0SQ67IhjfB_AkpI3ghmWyvJ4A1HOFpv2iwl4jNC/s3448/unnamed-3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3448" data-original-width="2912" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqQuVwn8QKJ1v7O_nGmkTqUlqgTtEI7Nl7j3M6D0DKxFDe-qwx5DdJlTMJ_FYY0rJN1bRI-jDRreTnPY5vQzguHxbkyVX6WrACjB3VLHpPx1XLl_QtdbzQtKuHj0Rr0A4I5lC3H6mvImVllazI7OxA0SQ67IhjfB_AkpI3ghmWyvJ4A1HOFpv2iwl4jNC/s16000/unnamed-3.png" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">The It-Girl Aviators | Versace Aviator Sunglasses </span><i>(gift from a friend)</i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite my ever-growing collection of sunglasses, I didn't actually own a pair of aviators until one of my good friends kindly gifted me this pair of <b>Versace Aviator Sunglasses</b> for my birthday last month.

Fudge has always been a real nostalgic treat for me and I've been searching for the <b>best fudge in the UK</b> for a while. Guess what? I think I've finally found the holy grail of all luxury, artisan fudge thanks to <b>Fudge Kitchen</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Scattered across six different locations across the UK, <b>Fudge Kitchen</b> has been making <b>handmade fudge</b> since 1983 which is always a good indicator of a successful business in these chaotic times we live in. And when I say handmade, I really do mean handmade; they've gone viral online for showcasing their 'theatre for fudge', where you can see their makers pour incredible mixtures <i>(based on traditional recipes from the 1800's)</i> over Italian marble tables and shape it into the most incredible fudge you'll ever taste in your life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You'll find<b> Fudge Kitchen</b> in tourist hotspots such as Bath, York, and Edinburgh, and fudge addicts can even book onto courses to learn how to make fudge in their stores. For those not near a bricks and mortar shop, don't despair because you can order <b>Fudge Kitchen</b> online and have it delivered straight to your door. Perfect for birthday gifts and special treats!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtpgfZK-6BRhlQbZpTln0YPu_kI1LrM81r2Dg_iWUi7NykBLs_hyqKSD4IY_vDY4OvmvnoUWNebE4g8JjOmUtyHVSH2Njs3ef26HIsMhm5cYjHaXGRZqdG06CFgJT0aby0gEOtHmG22SaZ25fNU4r9pzez4tQcC79Cd-FpiG26JyUQE1MTXBI_2ZL9S8i/s3352/unnamed-4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fudge Kitchen review" border="0" data-original-height="3352" data-original-width="2664" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtpgfZK-6BRhlQbZpTln0YPu_kI1LrM81r2Dg_iWUi7NykBLs_hyqKSD4IY_vDY4OvmvnoUWNebE4g8JjOmUtyHVSH2Njs3ef26HIsMhm5cYjHaXGRZqdG06CFgJT0aby0gEOtHmG22SaZ25fNU4r9pzez4tQcC79Cd-FpiG26JyUQE1MTXBI_2ZL9S8i/s16000/unnamed-4.png" title="Fudge Kitchen review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having sampled this holy grail fudge in their Bath store, I had to order some more as soon as I got home. Fashioned into thick slabs <i>(this really is a million miles away from any other kind of fudge I've tried in the past) </i> and made with only <b>minimal natural ingredients</b>, they have a delectable range of flavours to choose from so there's something for everyone. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From classic favourites such as <b>Clotted Cream</b> and <b>Sea Salt Caramel</b>, to experimental delights like <b>Sticky Toffee Pudding</b> and <b>Pina Colada</b>, you are truly spoilt for choice. There are also special seasonal additions available throughout the year; <b>Eton Mess</b> is the current one as a celebration for Wimbledon, and I'm happy to say that vegans are catered for as well with <b>Fudge Kitchen</b>'s <b>unique vegan recipes</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I highly recommend the '<b>Build A Box</b>' option which allows you to choose five flavours and arrives beautifully packaged with no plastic.

Here <b>Fudge Kitchen</b> has created a vegan, dairy-free version made from a finely honed sugar-crafting technique that incorporates ingredients such as oats and oat drink to form the base. I have tried some different brands of vegan fudge in the past and I have to admit, they have been disappointing, but it's safe to say that <b>Fudge Kitchen</b> has truly nailed its vegan recipe here with a smooth, dense, creamy texture that doesn't feel bitty or gritty like others do. As expected, this <b>Chocolate Orange Vegan Fudge</b> is a dream come true; not too sweet, very chocolatey and with a good dose of orange mixed in.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Creamy Coffee Fudge</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm one of those people who doesn't drink coffee but loves the coffee-flavoured things <i>(bizarre I know!)</i>, and this Creamy Coffee Fudge hits the spot perfectly. The buttery texture melts in your mouth and the infusion of coffee is strong, but not overpowering if that makes any sense. Absolutely superb and one of my favourite flavours.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFsXGJiUWBzEGLzCwmKxxHBHX-MNXFj71Qm3jbd_ZqKgULR8FrFOPE2Qm_gbqq5ToLW0KZKal5f3Ht7ogrf12_qKWbEXaKhR5g1YEgA2oUiXh71nILIvnMKxRvEKSq6JOHmH9BVZh9nh7rAVs6b2QDHflwxaBdMm9atGdV5uJivCKl9AfqBSb-XDaABpj/s3296/unnamed-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fudge Kitchen review" border="0" data-original-height="3296" data-original-width="2984" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFsXGJiUWBzEGLzCwmKxxHBHX-MNXFj71Qm3jbd_ZqKgULR8FrFOPE2Qm_gbqq5ToLW0KZKal5f3Ht7ogrf12_qKWbEXaKhR5g1YEgA2oUiXh71nILIvnMKxRvEKSq6JOHmH9BVZh9nh7rAVs6b2QDHflwxaBdMm9atGdV5uJivCKl9AfqBSb-XDaABpj/s16000/unnamed-2.png" title="Fudge Kitchen review" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Peanut Butter Vegan Fudge</span></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Following on from the success of the Chocolate & Orange Vegan Fudge, my attention quickly turned to the moreish <b>Peanut Butter Vegan Fudge</b> which is another culinary winner. I'm a huge fan of peanut butter so this was an easy choice to win me over with, but again, that unique dairy-free texture is so impressive. I particularly enjoyed the crunchy pieces of peanuts which kept my tastebuds interested with every bite.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Swirl Fudge</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Imagine a classic clotted cream recipe with a generous swirl of chocolate sauce and real chocolate chunks added and this is what you get. Beautifully buttery and creamy, this one had a slightly softer and subtly chewier texture than the previous flavours, with that insane melt-in-your-mouth quality. This one was very popular with everyone who tried it!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0V7y0oZ2GQLgEtQ6TDKk8oVXQD8341KxdnVZCuQ-qW9kx_fsulZ4Cf3dqUpQQdmWjh4frXRwPtyNNP9HqA-q4ZnGuzgzpAzA4AB5xRLuoWy1eRQuzZgE5EIDrfl_9khjaMq7pcfGcsnrqqyqX0h-Det1M5V6R66sgV5eieH-F7NRbYrr3d8rC7zTAXN6/s3512/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fudge Kitchen review" border="0" data-original-height="3512" data-original-width="2952" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0V7y0oZ2GQLgEtQ6TDKk8oVXQD8341KxdnVZCuQ-qW9kx_fsulZ4Cf3dqUpQQdmWjh4frXRwPtyNNP9HqA-q4ZnGuzgzpAzA4AB5xRLuoWy1eRQuzZgE5EIDrfl_9khjaMq7pcfGcsnrqqyqX0h-Det1M5V6R66sgV5eieH-F7NRbYrr3d8rC7zTAXN6/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Fudge Kitchen review" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Butter Pecan Fudge</span></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Saving the very best til last, the <b>Butter Pecan Fudge</b> is what sweet dreams are made of.

These <b>Sun Silk Drops SPF 30</b> are ideal for anyone who hates sticky and heavy-feeling sunscreens because they feel the exact opposite and are much more like a light serum in texture and application. Quick to absorb into the skin without any greasiness, these innovative drops protect against UVA and UVB free radical damage, plus they help to mitigate the effects of HEV light (AKA Blue Light).

Firstly, Australians have much higher standards when it comes to making sure that their sunscreen does what it's supposed to do. Secondly, they are affordable, available readily on the high street and online, and they're cruelty-free. Needless to say, I was delighted to find two of their products in this box.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For body, there's the <b>SPF 50+ Fragrance-Free Sunscreen Lotion</b>.

Admittedly, it can take some trial and error at first to find one that works for you, but a long-time favourite of mine is this deodorant bar from <b>Bloomtown</b>.

This is the kind of sauce that you can use on pretty much anything and everything.<b><i> Scoville rating 3,000 SHU</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Scotch Bonnet & Caribbean Spices</b> offers a medium heat level with a zesty blend of Scotch Bonnets, Caribbean Spices, Garlic and Ginger.

Crafted with fiery Trinidad Scorpion Chillies and sweet Clementines, it's another great example of how to make a hot sauce that's tasty and complex, but without any bitterness or weird aftertaste. <b>Scoville rating 50,000 SHU</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Carolina Reaper & Blueberry </b>is described as a 'flavour bomb' and well, that sums it up perfectly! Made with the world's hottest Carolina Reaper chilli peppers, the touch of Blueberries helps to balance out the flavour and surprisingly, it works beautifully. <b>Scoville rating 65,000 SHU</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Superhot Naga</b>, not recommended for the faint of heart, this fermented creation is one of three different 'superhot' flavours which represent the brand's 'hottest ever sauces'. They're certainly not joking either. Made with a hell of a lot of Naga Bhut Jolokia Chillies, you'll also find White Wine Vinegar, Ginger, Garlic, Onion Powder, Madras Curry Powder and a touch of Salt in this complex but tasty blend. Add a little to your homemade curries/stir-fries/stews when you want to feel the burn!

In addition to eating a wide variety of different foods, taking <b>probiotic supplements</b> can also help to boost the number of friendly bacteria that live in your gut, thus helping to revitalise your overall health in the process.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What Are Probiotics?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First things first though, what exactly are probiotics? <b>Probiotics</b> are the name for the numerous strains of live bacteria and yeasts that live in your body. They can be found in lots of different foods that are mainly fermented or cultured in some way such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, miso, tempeh, and certain types of yogurts. If you eat a healthy plant-based diet, you're probably already consuming a lot of these! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why Do We Need Probiotics?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Probiotics are essential to supporting a healthy digestive system; one easy way to remember them is to think of them as the 'good guys' as they are the friendly bacteria that we need to keep our gut nice and balanced. Unfortunately, many of us don't eat a varied diet in the Western world, and things like <b>alcohol</b> and <b>junk/ultra-processed foods</b> can upset the delicate balance of the good versus bad bacteria in the gut. This imbalance can lead to digestive problems such as <b>IBS</b> and 'leaky gut' (where your body finds it difficult to retain essential vitamins and minerals), as well as issues with your immunity. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On top of this,<b> stress</b> and<b> antibiotics</b> also cause gut imbalances, so much so, that countries such as Germany and Sweden often provide a course of probiotics when you're given a prescription of antibiotics to counterbalance the side effects on your gut. It's also a useful reminder to only take antibiotics when you absolutely have to. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How Do Supplements Help?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Probiotic supplements can be a very useful way to top up the friendly good bacteria that your body needs but not all supplements are created equally, so make sure you read the label before purchasing. Brands such as <b>Optibac</b> offer expert advice online to help you to choose the formula that's right for your individual needs, and with a good range to choose from, there's something to suit everyone. Here are just three examples of what they have to offer your <b>gut health</b>, all of which are packaged in glass jars or compostable pouches. And for everyone who has a <b>vagina</b>, there's a specialist supplement just for you at the end of this post!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MIk7-iM2sfv8SYBIh_YC0HfrH0hTGAiG25BymvJUMAZaBNodnK84mz3TIc34dVLmfYP0QdP89IeM10QwXo_4UZ40QBzEh22pX2CLBKOWFkTWzv2xlUxIqCLHRmqbhyI2C9pdzubvhd8Pk_A38KF-JZVvIFi97XSqQTcZehl_nUQExIqPj2pgVUXWm0iO/s3544/unnamed-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Optibac Every Day Probiotics review" border="0" data-original-height="3544" data-original-width="2968" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MIk7-iM2sfv8SYBIh_YC0HfrH0hTGAiG25BymvJUMAZaBNodnK84mz3TIc34dVLmfYP0QdP89IeM10QwXo_4UZ40QBzEh22pX2CLBKOWFkTWzv2xlUxIqCLHRmqbhyI2C9pdzubvhd8Pk_A38KF-JZVvIFi97XSqQTcZehl_nUQExIqPj2pgVUXWm0iO/s16000/unnamed-1.png" title="Optibac Every Day Probiotics review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Optibac Every Day</span>* <i>(£12.99, 30 capsules, one month supply, <a href="https://www.optibacprobiotics.com/uk/product/for-every-day-30-capsules?utm_source=google&utm_medium=retargeting&utm_campaign=april_15&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1_SkBhDwARIsANbGpFuVAdaakcIg2Db34K3bULAaA4Fot9EGTUUFLgE1l3UOn0OgiRSNcicaAmh0EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For a good all-rounder that will suit most people, <b>Optibac Every Day</b> is an excellent choice.

If you have a vagina, you need to try these! This is a very specific and specially formulated supplement that contains friendly bacteria strains which are naturally found in the vagina and urinary tract; all of which have been scientifically researched and proven to reach the vagina, with over 30 years of research to back up this all-important formula to support the delicate balance of the <b>vaginal microbiome</b>. So to recap, this isn't one for your gut!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Each capsule boasts three strains; <b>Lactobacillus paracasei F-19®</b>, <b>Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1®,</b> and <b>Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14®</b> with 2.5 billion live cultures. As the bacteria in the vagina is different from the gut, it makes sense to support it with a specialist supplement, so you can take this alongside one of the other gut formulas above. These are vegan-friendly, gluten & yeast free, and suitable to take during pregnancy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">How to use</u>: take one capsule per day in the morning, preferably with breakfast. You can take these on an ongoing basis or intensively to help rebalance your vaginal health if you have a UTI (if the latter, I would recommend increasing to two capsules per day which is what I have done in the past - and it worked really well for me!).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Shop the full range of Optibac supplements and take advantage of 15% discounts when you subscribe and save: <a href="http://optibacprobiotics.com/uk/">optibacprobiotics.com/uk/</a></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you tried any probiotics?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>E V E L Y Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12134315525027464872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962350654889137028.post-43525442234456840082023-06-22T17:59:00.001+01:002023-06-22T17:59:19.258+01:00Summer Beauty | Naturisimo - The Clean Beauty Travels Discovery Box - 2023 review<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh754B30zT5GEP2X-jG9B5Jwk9-AbK0jZcsm2e4QYyMOSCJuyC4MJNGYxM3u98w3RsMzhKEP8uokM7OS9Tfi0vMKsZTe-EQocaCBabcGGlundb9vx8lEBSJDnfImKet1pKKUkitbBm5GbL4DpKuUUszoo7PtyQNlQWXpb6zhP7NVCPtko3tsGjxbn4vuWlW/s4032/unnamed-7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Naturisimo - The Clean Beauty Travels Box review" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh754B30zT5GEP2X-jG9B5Jwk9-AbK0jZcsm2e4QYyMOSCJuyC4MJNGYxM3u98w3RsMzhKEP8uokM7OS9Tfi0vMKsZTe-EQocaCBabcGGlundb9vx8lEBSJDnfImKet1pKKUkitbBm5GbL4DpKuUUszoo7PtyQNlQWXpb6zhP7NVCPtko3tsGjxbn4vuWlW/s16000/unnamed-7.png" title="Naturisimo - The Clean Beauty Travels Box review" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Clean beauty fans!

This mask gets to work in just five minutes before it's rinsed off with a warm flannel and it doubles up as an intensive overnight treatment that you can leave on while you sleep if your skin requires more TLC.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9xAcjwg_mF8YYvLLwI-cQEey9NBf0XWvT3xFaivID6xoAeAfAg2h2jyfukP4LWKfEr_uChDUYihhlGJTvpoK03YbJX9TqabB4cL-dR9joVfKZSJKnzXYH4ZbHqgg9TrsoU9WLYlfQEmEjYw6bCK6XGhDgJIFxl18aSFmjSh8dAMwjBTRjW_i7HdosXw/s3616/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nourish London Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask & Sleepy Pillow Mist review" border="0" data-original-height="3616" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9xAcjwg_mF8YYvLLwI-cQEey9NBf0XWvT3xFaivID6xoAeAfAg2h2jyfukP4LWKfEr_uChDUYihhlGJTvpoK03YbJX9TqabB4cL-dR9joVfKZSJKnzXYH4ZbHqgg9TrsoU9WLYlfQEmEjYw6bCK6XGhDgJIFxl18aSFmjSh8dAMwjBTRjW_i7HdosXw/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Nourish London Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask & Sleepy Pillow Mist review" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Nourish London Sleepy Pillow Mist</span>* <i>(100ml, £20, <a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/products/sleepy-lavender-pillow-mist" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a chronic insomniac, I'm a bit addicted to pillow sprays and always have to use one to help me to drift off to sleep.

The Swedish brand have recently released a brand new addition to their range; the <b>Active Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50</b> and this ticks a lot of boxes that I tend to look out for. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">First up, it's <b>100% natural</b>, <b>cruelty-free</b>, <b>water resistant</b>, and <b>reef-safe</b>, so it's a positive choice to opt for if you love swimming in the sea as much as I do. The certified broad-spectrum, mineral-based formula protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays meaning that you're fully protected, and it features an innovative combination of these mineral UV filters and Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil which helps to reduce the annoying 'white cast' that sunscreen can give off. To top it off, this sunscreen is packaged in a plastic-free 100% biobased sugar cane tube too - is there any box that it doesn't tick?! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUFxlOS3YN84mhs2uYPvmv7AAXSlfs3NoiRKFB13c4VMkO-V31s9oppu6r3vjysdKK1jljNb6lr9P3e2ceyzjcQ0wdtzPrRM0pOwfK3Gs_F_m83TUB6OdH3_ijYP3qMz7y-lNRLuDX97Odn19mfBm_ZpJ7MOWbFTPhgwCtzXXKQm88xYdoqN6AJRWTXg/s2832/unnamed-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2256" data-original-width="2832" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUFxlOS3YN84mhs2uYPvmv7AAXSlfs3NoiRKFB13c4VMkO-V31s9oppu6r3vjysdKK1jljNb6lr9P3e2ceyzjcQ0wdtzPrRM0pOwfK3Gs_F_m83TUB6OdH3_ijYP3qMz7y-lNRLuDX97Odn19mfBm_ZpJ7MOWbFTPhgwCtzXXKQm88xYdoqN6AJRWTXg/s16000/unnamed-1.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWeTiaWDLtb7SiZo1vzpLu9tRMoib0R_JgqE0Xr2voR1OXMiZbJtgfUK68inXrnic42gQRTXwIDwAbTcO1HC37tmAppDdrQI36BgVq7e9tfa5Pd0KUbpjld1rM88LUxyF3K3-Wzn3jqcnIGFlOE1aQVq3upC8o4zd7a7660X52CDlnIUyW6ku8T-suxA/s3328/unnamed-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="PMD Clean Acne review" border="0" data-original-height="3328" data-original-width="2944" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWeTiaWDLtb7SiZo1vzpLu9tRMoib0R_JgqE0Xr2voR1OXMiZbJtgfUK68inXrnic42gQRTXwIDwAbTcO1HC37tmAppDdrQI36BgVq7e9tfa5Pd0KUbpjld1rM88LUxyF3K3-Wzn3jqcnIGFlOE1aQVq3upC8o4zd7a7660X52CDlnIUyW6ku8T-suxA/s16000/unnamed-2.png" title="PMD Clean Acne review" /></a><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">PMD Clean Acne</span>* <i>(£209, <a href="https://uk.pmdbeauty.com/products/clean-acne" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This next product is certainly an investment piece, however, I've been putting it to the test for nearly six weeks now and I can say it's definitely worth the money.

I'm a big fan of the <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/search?q=pmd+clean" target="_blank">PMD Clean range</a> and feel this product really steps up the mark with such a clever 2-in-1 device that you can add to your daily skincare routine.

This is a truly lovely brand to look into if you haven't heard of them before as everything that they produce is <b>cruelty-free</b>, <b>vegan-friendly</b>, and <b>sustainable</b>.

With a <b>Kaolin Clay</b> base and natural ingredients such as <b>Olive Powder</b> <i>(made by finely grinding discarded olive stones that are a product of the olive oil industry)</i>, this is a fantastic detoxifying treatment for all skin types, but is especially useful for oily and combination complexions which are prone to breakouts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIOXJk_hUUuQgmk1sNPrZDeF8zn9k1nHpuI4UVn8BT5okpprIRgU9khMdlln8LRG8jqV8sH2rrQpPV_AXMpIfeN2kyC3VB7PbGBVDgSv85ifgLvK71Eo-CUHAJsSHbjOxQ1U-b538U036G_qUYXMcmHFagmkEyhuLTKILvw6umzO-r5AHygosbxjZcw/s3024/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wunder Workshop Organic Golden Tumeric Tea" border="0" data-original-height="2520" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIOXJk_hUUuQgmk1sNPrZDeF8zn9k1nHpuI4UVn8BT5okpprIRgU9khMdlln8LRG8jqV8sH2rrQpPV_AXMpIfeN2kyC3VB7PbGBVDgSv85ifgLvK71Eo-CUHAJsSHbjOxQ1U-b538U036G_qUYXMcmHFagmkEyhuLTKILvw6umzO-r5AHygosbxjZcw/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Wunder Workshop Organic Golden Tumeric Tea" /></a><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wunder Workshop Organic Golden Tumeric Tea</span>* <i>(70g, £7.50, <a href="https://www.naturisimo.com/products/new-wunder-workshop-golden-turmeric-tea" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Lastly, I have a new healthy tea favourite to share with you all from <b>Wunder Workshop</b> which does a fabulous line of <b>ethically sourced well-being teas </b>and health supplements, all of which are packaged so beautifully. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Their <b>Organic Golden Turmeric Tea</b> is a wonderfully restorative <b>Ayurvedic loose-leaf blend</b> featuring Turmeric, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Ceylon Cinnamon.

This conditioner is meant for dry/damaged hair but it didn't feel particularly moisturising/hydrating in my opinion, and had quite a thin and watery texture. <b>Repurchase?</b> No.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Odylique Coconut Candy Scrub</span>* <i>(featured <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2014/07/the-7-days-to-smooth-summer-feet.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of my favourite luxury body scrubs of all time, I've gone through so many tubs of this over the years! It smells incredible; just like what you would imagine coconut candy to smell like, and it's packed full of nourishing ingredients so when all the exfoliation is done, your skin feels silky smooth afterwards. <b>Repurchase?</b> Yes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This Works Deep Sleep Bath Soak</span>* <i>(featured <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2023/03/top-4-bath-salts-to-help-you-relax.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another luxury favourite, again because they work so well, are the Deep Sleep bath salts from This Work. Clinically proven to help you sleep better, I'm a huge fan of this range and adore the ultra-relaxing scent of Lavender and Vetivert.

It feels light and gentle on, but is incredibly effective thanks to a blend of spot-busting plant actives such as Willow Bark and Copaiba.

It's time to slap on that sunscreen if you haven't been doing so already! Why not try these two from <b>Bondi Sands</b>?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may be more familiar with <b>Bondi Sands</b>' excellent <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2015/05/summer-tanning-with-bondi-sands-self.html" target="_blank">self-tanning</a> range <i>(I'm a big fan of their self-tanning foams in particular)</i>, however, everyone's favourite Aussie brand also does sunscreen products which makes absolute sense when you think about it! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Did you also know that Australia has much stricter regulations when it comes to producing sunscreen formulas? Again, this makes a lot of sense given their sunny proximity on the globe, and is perhaps one of the reasons why so many skincare gurus highly recommend using Australian-made sunscreen products.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Both of the <b>Bondi Sands </b>sunscreens below are certified<b> cruelty-free,</b> <b>reef-friendly</b>, <b>fragrance-free</b>, and <b>suitable for sensitive skin</b> types. They are also <b>broad-spectrum sunscreens</b> meaning that they fully protect against both harmful UVA and UVB rays.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbi03inBK9Oe5IeOvCM2tdABsLWLZlJ02PCJRIEx_G2dg-qbtCEEnWX8ln2i5Eni2ozQHlwgEPRX_YBu7bDTrxnu2C_m2mEa99OjibwEc2nVwjmRoZTc6I5EaDDUbb9FLP97NUNcAYPBP1iiZkLsiTBUcxE8v-6p_5UERa99eEIpUIYwMFEN5ocoRY4A/s2976/unnamed-13.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bondi Sands Face SPF 50+ & Hydra UV Protect SPF 50+ review" border="0" data-original-height="2976" data-original-width="2872" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbi03inBK9Oe5IeOvCM2tdABsLWLZlJ02PCJRIEx_G2dg-qbtCEEnWX8ln2i5Eni2ozQHlwgEPRX_YBu7bDTrxnu2C_m2mEa99OjibwEc2nVwjmRoZTc6I5EaDDUbb9FLP97NUNcAYPBP1iiZkLsiTBUcxE8v-6p_5UERa99eEIpUIYwMFEN5ocoRY4A/s16000/unnamed-13.png" title="Bondi Sands Face SPF 50+ & Hydra UV Protect SPF 50+ review" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Bondi Sands Face SPF 50+ Tinted</span>* <i>(75ml, £8.99)</i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Facial sunscreens are something that I wear all year round, regardless of how sunny it is outside, and this is mainly because sunscreens are the best form of anti-aging protection. You can use a million different types of expensive serums and fancy face maks, but if you're not wearing sunscreen, you're not properly protecting your skin!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Bondi Sands</b> has a great range of facial sunscreens to choose from and my go-to is their SPF 50+ Tinted version. I personally find most facial sunscreens to be very 'white' for my skin tone, so a tinted version erases this issue and layers so much nicer underneath my foundation/base product. Plus on days when I don't want to wear a full face of makeup, it adds a little colour to my complexion. Not only is this a budget-friendly steal at less than £10, but it blends in easily and feels hydrating too without any stickiness.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmwJsA32ZzHs1eh1ZJzxzafREIliPM96-Y8gPFyzp2DpurIIEanjwd7qkbm4Jgo_uQtA3j5Fc9AmXy9VzNhX4XtcXX3HD5O_tumppcvT7lnyoTrdGPk9Xzoix0UdOuwfHlB6dvRorhM7_xdUFfmFBeHz7io9R3YZvCJktnw5fT5jw1P5OIHRyUcY65nQ/s3416/unnamed-12.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bondi Sands Face SPF 50+ & Hydra UV Protect SPF 50+ review" border="0" data-original-height="3416" data-original-width="3008" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmwJsA32ZzHs1eh1ZJzxzafREIliPM96-Y8gPFyzp2DpurIIEanjwd7qkbm4Jgo_uQtA3j5Fc9AmXy9VzNhX4XtcXX3HD5O_tumppcvT7lnyoTrdGPk9Xzoix0UdOuwfHlB6dvRorhM7_xdUFfmFBeHz7io9R3YZvCJktnw5fT5jw1P5OIHRyUcY65nQ/s16000/unnamed-12.png" title="Bondi Sands Face SPF 50+ & Hydra UV Protect SPF 50+ review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bondi Sands Hydra UV Protect SPF 50+</span> <i>(150ml, £10.99)</i></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the body, there's the <b>Hydra UV Protect SPF 50+</b> which I've recommended countless times to friends and family. Usually, I prefer a classic tropical/coconut-scented sunscreen to use on my body, but this one is a fantastic fragrance-free alternative and comes in really handy if I'm experiencing an eczema flare-up and can't use any scented products. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It features a 4-hour water-resistant formula with a plant-based hydration complex with ethically sourced algae which is a godsend for dry skin.

Fortunately, there are a variety of skin care treatments available that can help achieve just that. In this article, we will explore three of the best skin care treatments available before summer 2023; <b>HydraFacial</b>, <b>Dermalux LED light therapy</b>, and <b>microneedling</b>.</div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">HydraFacial</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <b>HydraFacial</b> is a popular treatment that involves a combination of exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. It is a non-invasive procedure that is suitable for all skin types and is highly effective at removing impurities, unclogging pores, and improving overall skin texture and appearance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The treatment involves using a special device that uses suction to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the skin's surface. It then infuses the skin with a customised blend of serums that contain antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The result is deeply hydrated, glowing skin that looks and feels revitalised.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the biggest advantages of the <b>HydraFacial</b> is that it is a quick and painless treatment that requires no downtime. It is perfect for those who want to improve their skin's appearance but don't have the time or inclination for more invasive treatments.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-F8wPztGnK7mivQLCY5afyFf1RjoE9vDa16_A8NAlyIPkZDSc1PL-nkJXjBamkVAesDV_5NQ9d0-JdqD7YMaveshQAGlcTbPNjjMHuEd6mb1HAkYnGFsZ2Co8zY-W--8dutXNLXovdeAPVTRbz-FkSUy-g-AUCzO3KsxElRQTbjLRsf5b-R5t5A8U9A/s648/Screenshot%202023-04-23%20at%2019.31.59.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="we were raised by wolves" border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="648" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-F8wPztGnK7mivQLCY5afyFf1RjoE9vDa16_A8NAlyIPkZDSc1PL-nkJXjBamkVAesDV_5NQ9d0-JdqD7YMaveshQAGlcTbPNjjMHuEd6mb1HAkYnGFsZ2Co8zY-W--8dutXNLXovdeAPVTRbz-FkSUy-g-AUCzO3KsxElRQTbjLRsf5b-R5t5A8U9A/s16000/Screenshot%202023-04-23%20at%2019.31.59.png" title="we were raised by wolves" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dermalux LED Light Therapy</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Dermalux LED light therapy</b> is another highly effective skin care treatment that can help improve the appearance of the skin before summer. The treatment involves using a special device that emits a series of LED lights of different wavelengths to penetrate the skin at different levels. This helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The different wavelengths of light can also help to reduce inflammation, soothe redness and irritation, and promote healing. This makes it an ideal treatment for those with acne-prone or sensitive skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The treatment is painless and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. It can be used on its own or in combination with other skin care treatments for even better results.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ_BBjAaEaujqTk0SvL8jCsFKRwmaTkMdds6NJROnUEkXlB9Ba1Qx64yWuKuSUu3Q2vh1irciRPeBzDNO_7UI4fMbNwpX1FvRjiceiSMTjUdfBZussnmX8-8of8s-zdfsWFES2dXF5FKFRSNliUAbugwtgPFawi-qjH4q3cijooM6DnMoltRTlnFkrVA/s648/Screenshot%202023-04-23%20at%2019.33.07.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="we were raised by wolves" border="0" data-original-height="432" data-original-width="648" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ_BBjAaEaujqTk0SvL8jCsFKRwmaTkMdds6NJROnUEkXlB9Ba1Qx64yWuKuSUu3Q2vh1irciRPeBzDNO_7UI4fMbNwpX1FvRjiceiSMTjUdfBZussnmX8-8of8s-zdfsWFES2dXF5FKFRSNliUAbugwtgPFawi-qjH4q3cijooM6DnMoltRTlnFkrVA/s16000/Screenshot%202023-04-23%20at%2019.33.07.png" title="we were raised by wolves" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Microneedling</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Microneedling</b> is a skin care treatment that involves using a device with tiny needles to create microscopic channels in the skin's surface. This stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin and improving the skin's texture and appearance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The treatment is highly effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as acne scars and other types of scars. It can also be used to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin, making it look more youthful and radiant.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure, it does require some downtime as the skin needs time to heal. However, the results are well worth it, with many people reporting significant improvements in their skin's appearance after just one treatment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyne5rd_zwAtwW-zGIroWIydSnUPZH1qdyIUl1arBMFCcum9Ro-HTRl-VqMmrq1F1Rhvn6gk2K2FEMcGJ0BS0mdsnFp_lO3v3RkXdig_PlkTgytIJa_t_d_BicOzOFSA7Xq8d4lX97uVJ9xvBnNg4Q9TgqSfvNS3aguKSgwTAZDxASUogSVghkSa9dvQ/s644/Screenshot%202023-04-23%20at%2019.38.23.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="we were raised by wolves" border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="644" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyne5rd_zwAtwW-zGIroWIydSnUPZH1qdyIUl1arBMFCcum9Ro-HTRl-VqMmrq1F1Rhvn6gk2K2FEMcGJ0BS0mdsnFp_lO3v3RkXdig_PlkTgytIJa_t_d_BicOzOFSA7Xq8d4lX97uVJ9xvBnNg4Q9TgqSfvNS3aguKSgwTAZDxASUogSVghkSa9dvQ/s16000/Screenshot%202023-04-23%20at%2019.38.23.png" title="we were raised by wolves" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Conclusion</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before summer 2023, there are a variety of skin care treatments available that can help improve the appearance and health of your skin.

It feels like it's been such a long week, so it's no wonder that I've been craving a little sweet treat to kickstart the weekend with.

Hand-baked with love in their very own dedicated allergen-friendly bakery, <b>Lazy Day</b> is one of the most trusted brands on the free from market when you want a delicious treat.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lazy Day</b>'s yummy baked delights are <b>gluten-free</b>, <b>egg-free</b>, <b>milk-free</b>, <b>vegan-friendly</b>, and produced in a <b>nut-free</b> site.

However, as life has been super busy lately, it's been so convenient to find a tasty ready-made version that I can easily pick up from the supermarket - win-win! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lazy Day</b>'s <b>Rocky Road</b> is an indulgent treat that's made with a luscious Belgian dark chocolate ganache base. It features the classic chunky pieces of shortbread that you'd expect, coupled together with crispy puffed rice which adds an interesting texture, and topped with squishy pink mini marshmallows. Yum! This is a great little snack to have with a cup of tea or coffee.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzg95tciaUADJOJN6WXapBmqFApb5-9HAxSVz38neUKs3esYuozc8cYBiwNdkG8RaUWu_1mixKJ4pSUBNTtIvmLZoCegZLVZXd2xxZdV4on4o5ppYAcO4Y7lhBqpfd9R6AN7QnqVy-fJ_lYvLrbFmAPO7vD7kYh4p2q8veIAYvREwOzYSsCOvJchrmog/s3672/unnamed-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Lazy Day Rocky Road & Salted Caramel Crispies review" border="0" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="3000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzg95tciaUADJOJN6WXapBmqFApb5-9HAxSVz38neUKs3esYuozc8cYBiwNdkG8RaUWu_1mixKJ4pSUBNTtIvmLZoCegZLVZXd2xxZdV4on4o5ppYAcO4Y7lhBqpfd9R6AN7QnqVy-fJ_lYvLrbFmAPO7vD7kYh4p2q8veIAYvREwOzYSsCOvJchrmog/s16000/unnamed-2.png" title="Lazy Day Rocky Road & Salted Caramel Crispies review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lazy Day Salted Caramel Crispies</span>* <i>(150g, 5 slices, £2.65)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm a big fan of anything that's Salted Caramel flavoured and I just love crispy rice squares so naturally, I knew that I was going to enjoy these moreish <b>Salted Caramel Crispies</b> when I saw the box. Like the Rocky Road, you'll find five individually portioned slices/pieces inside which keep well in an airtight container if you're not sharing them out in the office. Coincidentally, if <i>you</i> are bringing these to the office, you're going to need a couple of packs <i>minimum</i>, just saying!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These have a bit of a Millionaire vibe going on, but instead of shortbread at the bottom, there's a crunchy base of sticky rice crispies which I love. On top of that is a thick layer of gooey caramel, followed by a generous coating of real dark Belgian chocolate to finish it off. I found these to be very, very sweet so one piece was plenty to satisfy my sweet tooth, but they are incredibly moreish and addictive.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqGWd850YsU5MhemIjqbBouXzv7buRWIcd9180b_tobi1o8QnBDcYwGVv1cRayXpi11YnF8lI7OnEeoXkxCwiQ4NRTcvMG22Fu0h3jBBKwaydY21_tgBHa0wZpIQjt6Dx8J3vgMU5HG6bDQsI2orG91jX7s9fBl2NTA5q6DJb89hxfMOddls4cQSruw/s3632/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Lazy Day Rocky Road & Salted Caramel Crispies review" border="0" data-original-height="3632" data-original-width="2984" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqGWd850YsU5MhemIjqbBouXzv7buRWIcd9180b_tobi1o8QnBDcYwGVv1cRayXpi11YnF8lI7OnEeoXkxCwiQ4NRTcvMG22Fu0h3jBBKwaydY21_tgBHa0wZpIQjt6Dx8J3vgMU5HG6bDQsI2orG91jX7s9fBl2NTA5q6DJb89hxfMOddls4cQSruw/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Lazy Day Rocky Road & Salted Caramel Crispies review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Available from various stockists including Sainsbury's and Waitrose.

These days, it's easier than ever to choose <b>cruelty-free and vegan cosmetics</b> that won't break the bank. As I've been feeling nostalgic this month, I thought I'd try out some of the bestsellers from the popular <b>17</b> makeup range.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you grew up as a young girl in England, you're probably quite familiar with the <b>Boots 17</b> brand. Like many teenagers, some of my very first makeup purchases were from this range <i>(if I remember correctly, it was a bright pink lipstick and a lilac single eyeshadow with lots of glitter)</i>, so it's been an interesting experience to pick up a couple of products to try out and see how they feel as a mid-30's millennial. The brand has had a much-hyped revival after being discontinued in 2018 and there are plenty of new treats to discover with<b> everything costing £5 or under</b>!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've played it safe and chosen some everyday makeup staples to see how they compare to what I generally use on a day-to-day basis, which may help those who are seeking some cheaper alternatives due to the cost of living crisis. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7L6yQ4sa34xzx2bBOglRow6jUvylT-T_b9vr-wUVyX41YeOsEjiD0luOxtlgNv6t0lseWPSI-4UAcnfkOETKaLnNL8Uw5SBG_EAjfJv8xq6E6vOWLxsjp_AT8kOWr_CEFtSPGEqwkoVqEkVvzVKzvzqL8TaG7GTOAAqoZLPkN65M7Nb-LYLgfU9pSQ/s3276/unnamed-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="17 Makeup | Extreme Extension Mascara review" border="0" data-original-height="3276" data-original-width="2501" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7L6yQ4sa34xzx2bBOglRow6jUvylT-T_b9vr-wUVyX41YeOsEjiD0luOxtlgNv6t0lseWPSI-4UAcnfkOETKaLnNL8Uw5SBG_EAjfJv8xq6E6vOWLxsjp_AT8kOWr_CEFtSPGEqwkoVqEkVvzVKzvzqL8TaG7GTOAAqoZLPkN65M7Nb-LYLgfU9pSQ/s16000/unnamed-2.png" title="17 Makeup | Extreme Extension Mascara review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">17 Extreme Extension Lengthening Mascara in Black</span> <i>(12ml, £4 or £3 with a Boots Advantage Card)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'll have to admit that it's been a while since I've used a mascara that cost less than a fiver so I didn't have high expectations. <b>17</b> has a couple of different mascara formulas on offer and <b>Extreme Extension</b> sounded like the ideal one for me as I typically look for lots of length and definition. The packaging is very basic and quite chunky, but the rubberized flexible wand looked promising. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First coat on and I really loved the results; it definitely adds noticeable length to my short lashes, defines them nicely, and has great pigmentation. The second coat, however, caused my lashes to stick and clump together so it didn't work for me as a buildable mascara. That said, for a one-coat, everyday mascara, it stays put for a good 8 hours and doesn't flake or smudge which is £4 well spent in my opinion!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMALr6Tq-VWa0ws6buxtzLmfWXEasn0a7WMw_7filuKoLz22etDH1swIbE4kvSQaIcDaVJamafNZUl3P7StFspX5JW7QQrxLtYN6oTHCkBoTpiVuP-tfS22pscy2I4nbWEkqBZ86A7DpQd73SSdoSKH0kjBptB6ZMuS5z8T0iqpvpXnvRjskBbtMLB2Q/s3047/unnamed-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Boots 17 Makeup Glow Is Everything CC Cream review swatches" border="0" data-original-height="3047" data-original-width="2492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMALr6Tq-VWa0ws6buxtzLmfWXEasn0a7WMw_7filuKoLz22etDH1swIbE4kvSQaIcDaVJamafNZUl3P7StFspX5JW7QQrxLtYN6oTHCkBoTpiVuP-tfS22pscy2I4nbWEkqBZ86A7DpQd73SSdoSKH0kjBptB6ZMuS5z8T0iqpvpXnvRjskBbtMLB2Q/s16000/unnamed-1.png" title="Boots 17 Makeup Glow Is Everything CC Cream review swatches" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">17 Glow Is Everything CC Cream</span> <i>(30ml, £4)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Packaged in a cute squeezy tube, I'd seen the <b>Glow Is Everything CC Cream</b> raved about on various socials so this one was an obvious choice for me to try out. Having been pre-warned about the very limited shade range <i>(this CC Cream is available in only four shades)</i>, I picked up the oddly named <b>003P</b> which looked like a standard beige colour online and IRL this was a decent match for my light-medium skin tone. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon squeezing a little of the product out, I noticed a slight chemical/plastic smell but it wasn't too off-putting so I grabbed a beauty blender sponge and cracked on. The light coverage looked surprisingly good with a subtle dewy/glowy finish and lasted well for 7-8 hours of wear. Again, this would be great for every day and those fresh 'no makeup makeup' looks. I did find that it oxidized later on in the day, turning a little orangey on my skin, but I felt that I could maybe get away with it when my complexion is a bit more tanned in the summer months. Not bad at all for the price point. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncktxqREZthKyp-aCgzqlSDcfq7AuODEtd9w8njeT3vWuSMhBoZgkdDQtFRdFWk98Kyr0V4PydXnQ59L8RUgB1FpAzuhni_ijxpQDNf_9gfeK6Zxlm8N1aQNYGsDT3DESL2bZoDT8dO_oF4_yyadUu0e7mbGMFvrDRGxnAjY0OwCjeFx6ChfpzRT5rg/s2492/unnamed-5.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Boots 17 Makeup Second Skin Enhancing Concealer review swatches" border="0" data-original-height="2492" data-original-width="2028" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncktxqREZthKyp-aCgzqlSDcfq7AuODEtd9w8njeT3vWuSMhBoZgkdDQtFRdFWk98Kyr0V4PydXnQ59L8RUgB1FpAzuhni_ijxpQDNf_9gfeK6Zxlm8N1aQNYGsDT3DESL2bZoDT8dO_oF4_yyadUu0e7mbGMFvrDRGxnAjY0OwCjeFx6ChfpzRT5rg/s16000/unnamed-5.png" title="Boots 17 Makeup Second Skin Enhancing Concealer review swatches" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">17 Second Skin Enhancing Concealer</span> <i>(£2)</i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The most talked about product was the <b>17 Second Skin Enhancing Concealer</b> which retails for the bargain price of just two pounds. Two quid! I couldn't believe my eyes! Into the basket it went, although straight off the bat, the shade range is again very limited with just ten colours on offer. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>001P</b> looked like my best bet which is suitable for light-medium skin tones. The texture and consistency of this concealer is amazing. It blends so easily and definitely delivers a natural skin-like finish which feels velvety smooth! The coverage is also pretty decent; it won't fully conceal dark circles but with a corrector underneath, it achieves a lovely flawless effect that didn't crease into my fine lines and feels creamy and hydrating. I'd say this worked better for my under eyes than a blemish concealer. Like the CC Cream, it does oxidize a little throughout the day so I'd recommend picking a lighter shade. This is currently my best budget buy of the year so far!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiG0cY3rxcgBW0yR1KX0cYVzGezopYwi6iuQ-TQaSXjAR4Jn7oQDH51mTX5Xj1uw8ss4SYNjYCXe22Hv1ZPrWiPBzYeXqIo0Ps11xPjeytvERqiOUNeSqoeKJyzu4zX0nM6PuKZBD3rrROtC5h0WoL8W0lC7XLHxvW-pqoIK6J07-CAvFCy8ikUnuDNg/s1782/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Boots 17 Makeup Second Skin Enhancing Concealer review swatches" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1782" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiG0cY3rxcgBW0yR1KX0cYVzGezopYwi6iuQ-TQaSXjAR4Jn7oQDH51mTX5Xj1uw8ss4SYNjYCXe22Hv1ZPrWiPBzYeXqIo0Ps11xPjeytvERqiOUNeSqoeKJyzu4zX0nM6PuKZBD3rrROtC5h0WoL8W0lC7XLHxvW-pqoIK6J07-CAvFCy8ikUnuDNg/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Boots 17 Makeup Second Skin Enhancing Concealer review swatches" /></a></div><i><u>Swatches</u>: 17 Glow Is Everything CC Cream in 003P (top) and 17 Second Skin Enhancing Concealer in 001P (bottom)</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">17 Makeup Summary</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><u>Pros:</u></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Amazing value for money, everything is under £5</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Cruelty-free</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Everything is vegan-friendly</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Great for everyday wear</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Easy products to apply & blend</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Cons:</u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Very, very limited shade range</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- CC and Concealer do oxidise</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Packaging does feel cheap & basic</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Products have a slight chemical/plastic scent</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you revisited 17 Makeup as an adult?</span></div></div>E V E L Y Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12134315525027464872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962350654889137028.post-70130252554965284912023-04-11T17:37:00.002+01:002023-04-11T17:41:00.305+01:00Organic Beauty | Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL7Ho4nUAlixgO_bhLFyIfW8gHDmXoNt65mQwW8Gh2ci6FRvdgqI8RwzknjzGtIA9v0bIs8F4kmW4qy7qqc32Fyv9P7dPT3VlqLHAJrjjJgu8DxAe5Pb_MdwD1W9VylBcj9WQG87XmWUVq2yMO4GGsaXYscJG78gOH6NNaGadscijFVSHNI2d3tepzSg/s3568/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review" border="0" data-original-height="3568" data-original-width="2840" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL7Ho4nUAlixgO_bhLFyIfW8gHDmXoNt65mQwW8Gh2ci6FRvdgqI8RwzknjzGtIA9v0bIs8F4kmW4qy7qqc32Fyv9P7dPT3VlqLHAJrjjJgu8DxAe5Pb_MdwD1W9VylBcj9WQG87XmWUVq2yMO4GGsaXYscJG78gOH6NNaGadscijFVSHNI2d3tepzSg/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;">As a beauty blogger and a self-confessed skincare addict, I'm constantly bombarded with emails about the 'latest must-have'. Whether it's a trend or a new product, my inbox is always full of everything that's 'new, new, new!'. So it's been a pleasant change to sit back and revisit some old <b>green beauty</b> favourites from <b>Conscious Skincare</b> instead.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was first introduced to <b>Conscious Skincare</b> around ten years ago when I featured one of the brand's body butters in a post called '<a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2013/11/cold-weather-proofing-beauty-routine.html" target="_blank">Cold Weather Proofing the Beauty Routine</a>'. Since then, I have used their products sporadically over the years and recommended certain items to friends and family who are into natural skincare.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those new to<b> Conscious Skincare</b>, they are an established indie organic, vegan, and natural skincare company based in Wales. All of their products are cruelty-free, lovingly handmade, produced in small fresh batches, and packaged as eco-friendly and plastic-free as possible. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below you'll discover three of the brand's bestsellers; <b>Make Up Melt</b>, <b>Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter,</b> and Hydrolat Tea Tree.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6okU3-Q6wcqxH4x31avFa1UJWuL2Ia8pp-Mc1Dn25ahQkNWxXxc4Bs9wLOhJM83ZfUWAbes_8qKkh94nPQnQqccAZj-hXMLkeB0Sn95n-f8F0sAAsWNKvY7ZnliFpr4bTnsGLJM9BrvpEVw8fGP1NCjyDjFcvIFVARO2hVsGiDdehchYflDDf0RYpg/s3088/unnamed-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review" border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6okU3-Q6wcqxH4x31avFa1UJWuL2Ia8pp-Mc1Dn25ahQkNWxXxc4Bs9wLOhJM83ZfUWAbes_8qKkh94nPQnQqccAZj-hXMLkeB0Sn95n-f8F0sAAsWNKvY7ZnliFpr4bTnsGLJM9BrvpEVw8fGP1NCjyDjFcvIFVARO2hVsGiDdehchYflDDf0RYpg/s16000/unnamed-1.png" title="Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Conscious Skincare Make Up Melt</span>* <i>(100ml, £16 with pump, <a href="https://conscious-skincare.com/products/makeup-melt-natural-makeup-remover?_pos=1&_sid=b650f1296&_ss=r&variant=42404871373040" target="_blank">link</a>)</i><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Made with just five natural and organic ingredients, <b>Make Up Melt</b> is an award-winning makeup remover that's wonderfully simple, but very effective. Composed of a blend of cold-pressed Sesame and Castor Oils, this product quite literally breaks down and 'melts' away all traces of makeup, leaving your skin perfectly clean and nourished without feeling stripped. The addition of Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Myrtle essential oils have each been carefully chosen for their natural benefits. Rosemary helps to rejuvenate the skin, Eucalyptus is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and Myrtle has some impressive balancing and astringent qualities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u>How to use</u>: I apply a pump's worth to a reusable cotton pad and gently wipe it across my face. For stubborn waterproof mascara/liquid eyeliner, I'll hold the pad over closed eyes for a minute or so to allow the oil to fully dissolve the waterproof formula. After that, I rinse my face with warm water and follow up with my regular evening skincare routine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>For those wanting an entirely plastic-free option, you can purchase the Makeup Melt without a pump for £15, and there are also makeup pad bundles and refills available.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZizAv47XaD4N9X1ZzdRiRx0X64wMk3FT-hTTgANs-Mgi2nZDEeuk4bxboDoo6mhGrPgTIcXC6ktb7hB_rNWSfjRUg0eRjZQoirqvaxZ_-jefUcZ4RjxugRbZlYk9RqBykQR7lKBd0ujRlsFrfrVLp97jAu_IvGtmVcp4tGVL7VTNRrWuHgMyL2LbJg/s3712/unnamed-3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review" border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="2920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZizAv47XaD4N9X1ZzdRiRx0X64wMk3FT-hTTgANs-Mgi2nZDEeuk4bxboDoo6mhGrPgTIcXC6ktb7hB_rNWSfjRUg0eRjZQoirqvaxZ_-jefUcZ4RjxugRbZlYk9RqBykQR7lKBd0ujRlsFrfrVLp97jAu_IvGtmVcp4tGVL7VTNRrWuHgMyL2LbJg/s16000/unnamed-3.png" title="Conscious Skincare | Make Up Melt, Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter and Hydrolat Tea Tree review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Conscious Skincare Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter</span><span style="font-size: large;">* </span><i>(250ml, £15, <a href="https://conscious-skincare.com/products/sweet-orange-frangipani-body-butter?_pos=3&_sid=99a3bf0fd&_ss=r" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dry skin will simply adore <b>Conscious Skincare</b>'s <b>Body Butters</b> which come in three different formulas; two fragranced and one fragrance-free. Packed full of nature's best nourishing and hydrating ingredients such as Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E, and fairtrade Cocoa Butter, this version I have is also beautifully fragranced with uplifting Sweet Orange, Sandalwood, and heady Frangipani essential oils. The water-free formula means there are no additives or preservatives either.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I love the most about this body butter is how intensely thick and rich the texture is, yet it melts and sinks into the skin easily once you massage it in.

Gua Sha is the ancient traditional Chinese practice of using a tool, usually a shaped stone, to 'scrape' the skin or body to help stimulate new blood flow to the area, thus boosting cellular repair and collagen production. It may sound a little strange at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll never want to stop doing it, and many people say it helps to lift the contours of the face so it's a good one to try if you want a more naturally sculpted look.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All you need to practice Gua Sha at home is your favourite facial oil and a tool such as the new <b>PMD Gua Sha RQ</b>. Start by adding a few drops of face oil to your skin to provide lubrication and then gently scrape the tool against your face in upward and outward sweeping motions, applying more pressure as you get used to it. There are loads of tutorials on YouTube to help you get started. I particularly like the <b>PMD Gua Sha RQ</b> as it's made from Rose Quartz and has five unique points, edges, and curves to really get a good deep massage into the skin. The rubberised grip in the center is also very well-thought-out to make the tool much easier to use so it's a great choice for beginners.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM6dc1N7OJVmqBc6KmoxItm6kNsklSIPLm7K0HrzNVB5qH6UcJPufq3P6yHsScQos9a5mL6vujR3MPpl3XpB5cYd_Hv2j20semPnCeRCjXTqUxb9btUXVLh8PA-n4twr041gItDUyIXH9AlHivMro93UTPg3YveNjN4EGShPwVoY4R9ThRm7oPr1rEnA/s2952/unnamed-4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil review" border="0" data-original-height="2952" data-original-width="2720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM6dc1N7OJVmqBc6KmoxItm6kNsklSIPLm7K0HrzNVB5qH6UcJPufq3P6yHsScQos9a5mL6vujR3MPpl3XpB5cYd_Hv2j20semPnCeRCjXTqUxb9btUXVLh8PA-n4twr041gItDUyIXH9AlHivMro93UTPg3YveNjN4EGShPwVoY4R9ThRm7oPr1rEnA/s16000/unnamed-4.png" title="Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Swap Your Cleansing Balm For An Oil | Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil</span>* <i>(100ml, £4.99, <a href="https://www.boots.com/superfacialist-vitamin-c-skin-renew-cleansing-oil-100ml-10279019?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc-_-PLAs-_-Beauty-_-UK_Smart_Shopping_Beauty_Google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLShBhC_ARIsAFod4fJRNw52j0SwzwY5AsL7n0BfvsaoOpECxx6-50wzcdTx_I1dijin0vYaAmnwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the season changes and especially as the weather starts to <i>(slowly)</i> warm-up, you may find that your skin becomes less dry and more oily. This is especially true if you have a combination skin type, and I can usually start to see and feel my complexion begin to change around this time of the year. If you've been using a thick cleansing balm over winter, why not try swapping it for a much lighter cleansing oil? Most skin types will enjoy the change and if you've always been concerned about using an oil-based product because your skin is oily, don't skip this; it's a common misconception and can actually <i>improve</i> your skin instead - win-win!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A fantastic budget-friendly option is <b>Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil</b> which you can pick up on the high street from places such as Boots. This cruelty-free cleanser transforms from an oil into a lightweight milk once you add water, removing all traces of impurities and makeup along the way. The pro-collagen formula contains active Vitamin C to visibly brighten your complexion and the blend of Olive, Grapeseed, and Rosehip Oils ensures that skin is left nourished and not stripped.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKXA-EPnmX18rfTLxFaQXSLc4_FAy18Y-NqsmgIXuWQEkE_4S0Ovyf2frMh_ekcjJ2m9W67q3C3KNyxPTaYnljYSegAWSKZtFGNDYwcG_jB8CuEFDW-JvXclN4xZdARxFK34VO8zpuB0nUSnxecvs9hNz6xGFhpmzBMHaOmzqC9i7GsXceQ52WTKJw8g/s4032/unnamed.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="KLORIS CBD Bath Block Melt in Recharge review" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKXA-EPnmX18rfTLxFaQXSLc4_FAy18Y-NqsmgIXuWQEkE_4S0Ovyf2frMh_ekcjJ2m9W67q3C3KNyxPTaYnljYSegAWSKZtFGNDYwcG_jB8CuEFDW-JvXclN4xZdARxFK34VO8zpuB0nUSnxecvs9hNz6xGFhpmzBMHaOmzqC9i7GsXceQ52WTKJw8g/s16000/unnamed.png" title="KLORIS CBD Bath Block Melt in Recharge review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Embrace The Relaxing Powers Of CBD Into Your Bathroom | KLORIS CBD Bath Block Melt in Recharge</span>* <i>(140g, £15, <a href="https://www.kloriscbd.com/collections/cbd-bath-blocks-1" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These days you'll find CBD in virtually everything from skincare to health drinks, such are its revered natural abilities to help us stressed human beings relax and recover from our busy lives. It's no surprise then to see CBD popping up as a key ingredient in many luxury bath products and these <b>Bath Block Melts</b> from <b>KLORIS</b> are so popular that they frequently sell out as soon as a new fresh batch is released.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Substantially chunky just like a brick, these bad boys are like a supersized bath bomb and are available in a range of different blends such as Recharge, Revive, Relax and Restore. I've had the pleasure of trying all of them and if I had to pick a favourite, it would be the<b> Recharge</b> one. Infused with two of my all-time fave essential oils, Ylang Ylang and Patchouli, each block also contains a whopping 100mg of premium CBD oil and a super luxurious cocktail of Hemp Oil, Coconut Oil, and Cocoa Butter to soften your whole body. Add to a warm bath, watch it fizz, and indulge in some me-time for at least an hour for the full benefits.

Why? In bright sunlight, powder blush can look a little too harsh and even glowy ones can start to look a little cakey, whilst cream formulas tend to look much fresher and more youthful. I've always been one to steer mainly clear of cream blushers as most don't tend to last very long on my combination skin, however, after reading a string of positive reviews about the <b>Fenty Beauty Freestyle Cheeks Out Cream Blushers</b>, I felt compelled to pick one up to try out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I opted for the shade <b>Petal Poppin</b> which is the most gorgeous medium pink shade with a warm undertone that I feel would work really well for a range of skin tones. I love everything about this blush. From the super cute compact to the ultra-lightweight cream formula that blends like a dream, you can't go wrong with the sheer buildable pop of colour that it offers. Non-sticky, non-greasy, and lasts on my skin a good 6-8 hours before a little touchup is required.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-08_c-4oFEx_8wQ11OVjw6jdXQ0IQMZsVWw_ZvQjnUoLrnXyRGCgRKrf9i9a24IMzRmo28KSN70NmN8VAEhUdkWP-AWWo2akl2Pe_95ABtrR5YglPV6uLWVQ6fC5b86VRNJxYh-cLiG_ZBhP-kMjNvmAXWhXmSaS_KkWyXT5v2vvYJpT4Aoe58WDI3w/s3768/unnamed-5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist review" border="0" data-original-height="3768" data-original-width="2904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-08_c-4oFEx_8wQ11OVjw6jdXQ0IQMZsVWw_ZvQjnUoLrnXyRGCgRKrf9i9a24IMzRmo28KSN70NmN8VAEhUdkWP-AWWo2akl2Pe_95ABtrR5YglPV6uLWVQ6fC5b86VRNJxYh-cLiG_ZBhP-kMjNvmAXWhXmSaS_KkWyXT5v2vvYJpT4Aoe58WDI3w/s16000/unnamed-5.png" title="Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Discover A Fresh New Scent | Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist</span> <i>(90ml, £22, <a href="https://www.lookfantastic.com/sol-de-janeiro-cheirosa-68-perfume-mist-90ml/13828469.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000088329915&adtype=&product_id=13828469&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLShBhC_ARIsAFod4fLdsCAh9Zbh9tW_K8Nd25QpboVm54V9pI6kU1S-uCqgIkDUvxgehTcaAtxuEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My fifth and final top pick for Spring is of course, a fresh new fragrance because who doesn't love changing up their perfume to fit with a new season?! You've no doubt seen this one all over social media so I'll keep this bit relatively short. Since reviewing <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2023/03/bring-sunshine-to-your-bathroom-with.html" target="_blank">Sol de Janeiro's Body Washes</a> last month, several people on Instagram recommended their <b>Perfume Mists</b> to me so I obviously had to try one out. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are about five or six different fragrances to choose from and the one that I was attracted to the most was the <b>Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist</b> which is popular as it has some strong Baccarat Rouge vibes <i>(and I really don't hate that)</i>. It's a sweet and sexy floral fragrance that reminds me of sunny days with notes of Brazillian Jasmine, Hibiscus, Pink Dragonfruit, Lychee, and creamy Vanilla. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's on your Spring beauty shopping list?</span></div>E V E L Y Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12134315525027464872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962350654889137028.post-91065279577033523542023-04-04T15:35:00.005+01:002023-04-05T15:50:23.158+01:00Modern Aromatherapy | This Works Love Sleep Breathe In & Stress Check Breathe Out Rollerballs review<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBK6ul9GkWm24Lpm7x7VSQNYl4ZUnYu3vRAOWG4ZoP9FbDQ4k9SpP7jymfkfHAPuy4aLjXHqjbPRQo2gYRzcUtp1gjWv3KUV1p14WYvy-9dYKuVLBpdx9VLMTrZuTM4GZzPT_RW1dSVMDZfzWQgy4URQ4-4hFsTKFa2eWxBrPKMLU_oEEmNbQRb9VL2A/s3768/unnamed-4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="This Works Love Sleep Breathe In & Stress Check Breathe Out Rollberballs review" border="0" data-original-height="3768" data-original-width="2760" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBK6ul9GkWm24Lpm7x7VSQNYl4ZUnYu3vRAOWG4ZoP9FbDQ4k9SpP7jymfkfHAPuy4aLjXHqjbPRQo2gYRzcUtp1gjWv3KUV1p14WYvy-9dYKuVLBpdx9VLMTrZuTM4GZzPT_RW1dSVMDZfzWQgy4URQ4-4hFsTKFa2eWxBrPKMLU_oEEmNbQRb9VL2A/s16000/unnamed-4.png" title="This Works Love Sleep Breathe In & Stress Check Breathe Out Rollberballs review" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Aromatherapy rollerballs</b> are something that I often carry in my handbag when I'm out and about, and they're equally handy to have in your desk drawer/office space for those times when you need a moment of peace and calm.

As they say, beauty is skin deep, and what's going on inside, is just as important <i>(if not more so!)</i>, than what's happening on the outside.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is where <b>Cytoplan</b> comes in with their bestselling <b>Beauty Bundle</b> to help to support and nourish skin, hair, and nails from within.

These supplements are free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, wheat, added sugar, flavourings, and colourings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKkqhyYwgFby17G05arQ7Be5IQfrGDbggK4SkJADc8lOWFZtt3Ukat_Zi8uT8O3YX0Qyh_O3BhxNWwd8vZ6lM0vLTfr3_HEadblP9bIYn7Ej1cuob6Ry_kfWx6YZLYGlRKoiFakoewLr3Z9SFC2ywsa9uVhWhJU2jop3cB2pV6o28kQ0n51B652fTq5A/s3496/unnamed-3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cytoplan Vegan Supplements | Hair, Skin & Nails, Vitamin C and Vegan Collagen review" border="0" data-original-height="3496" data-original-width="2896" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKkqhyYwgFby17G05arQ7Be5IQfrGDbggK4SkJADc8lOWFZtt3Ukat_Zi8uT8O3YX0Qyh_O3BhxNWwd8vZ6lM0vLTfr3_HEadblP9bIYn7Ej1cuob6Ry_kfWx6YZLYGlRKoiFakoewLr3Z9SFC2ywsa9uVhWhJU2jop3cB2pV6o28kQ0n51B652fTq5A/s16000/unnamed-3.png" title="Cytoplan Vegan Supplements | Hair, Skin & Nails, Vitamin C and Vegan Collagen review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cytoplan Hair, Skin & Nails</span> <i>(60 capsules)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First things first, let's start with the <b>Hair, Skin & Nails</b> supplement which is a well-rounded multi-nutrient, that works in synergy with an antioxidant complex. Here you can find the usual suspects of essential vitamins and minerals like Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin C, Biotin, Zinc, and Selenium that you expect to find in any Hair, Skin & Nails capsule. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, what sets this one apart is the addition of a wide range of skin-friendly ingredients with proven antioxidant and protective qualities. These include Cocoa Extract, MSM, Maritime Pine Bark Extract, Bilberry Extract, Lycopene, Lutein, and Astaxanthin; all expertly blended into a convenient one-a-day capsule. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN53Y8_uRH2xnhKaUZhN9xuIimfQ0ho5AqXIP8_UUlXsozetQfU7Aa-tkD3ATk5CO2AjZUM3O40fD5qyD6yFjJqzcSEQXHR_P3nJ-LOnb43KUpd07UEvh4lpv6S-dIpkxs7fGm1s67u6uiyR4OHTce1Sl51dyMmA_dpF9LYnnxtQwhviLIhPLdqJO-Kg/s3088/unnamed-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cytoplan Vegan Supplements | Hair, Skin & Nails, Vitamin C and Vegan Collagen review" border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2840" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN53Y8_uRH2xnhKaUZhN9xuIimfQ0ho5AqXIP8_UUlXsozetQfU7Aa-tkD3ATk5CO2AjZUM3O40fD5qyD6yFjJqzcSEQXHR_P3nJ-LOnb43KUpd07UEvh4lpv6S-dIpkxs7fGm1s67u6uiyR4OHTce1Sl51dyMmA_dpF9LYnnxtQwhviLIhPLdqJO-Kg/s16000/unnamed-1.png" title="Cytoplan Vegan Supplements | Hair, Skin & Nails, Vitamin C and Vegan Collagen review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-size: large;">Cytoplan Vitamin C 1000mg </span><i>(60 capsules)</i></span></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We all know and love Vitamin C as a key ingredient in our skincare routines due to its amazing propensity to brighten the skin and boost radiance. In fact, a quick glance at some of my favourite everyday skincare products confirms this, and it's a particularly useful ingredient to have in your serum or moisturiser. So it makes perfect sense to take a Vitamin C supplement to get all the benefits from the inside out, plus if you're lacking certain fruit and veg in your diet, it can help to address any deficiencies there too to keep your immune system in better shape.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This one from <b>Cytoplan</b> provides a high potency dose of 1000mg in each daily capsule, alongside a 50mg boost of Bioflavonoids to protect against environmental aggressors that can cause premature skin aging. The latter naturally accompanies Vitamin C found in fruit and veg and helps to retain this essential nutrient in the body. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4nsNZe2zS5GZwiGWjzUHf2tpd4newQfqaVjJSRxSWSeUwAKcAEerzCMGo4upaIydD7uFbdPi_zCKAQcLoh_U5QshydBj3bh6OanFFwdhLZj9seeRaHmj0gA_a2mhbK7Ot1rZHYS4613Hjdy5dr9i5Qs_3QhLn9Vsk28a1lOIUuluLJnwie5IxWezXQ/s4032/unnamed-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cytoplan Vegan Supplements | Hair, Skin & Nails, Vitamin C and Vegan Collagen review" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4nsNZe2zS5GZwiGWjzUHf2tpd4newQfqaVjJSRxSWSeUwAKcAEerzCMGo4upaIydD7uFbdPi_zCKAQcLoh_U5QshydBj3bh6OanFFwdhLZj9seeRaHmj0gA_a2mhbK7Ot1rZHYS4613Hjdy5dr9i5Qs_3QhLn9Vsk28a1lOIUuluLJnwie5IxWezXQ/s16000/unnamed-2.png" title="Cytoplan Vegan Supplements | Hair, Skin & Nails, Vitamin C and Vegan Collagen review" /></a></div><span><span style="font-size: large;">Cytoplan Vegan Collagen </span><i>(120 capsules)</i></span><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Collagen supplements are everywhere and I'm pretty certain that there isn't a skincare guru/actress/celebrity on the planet that doesn't take one every day! Sadly though, the vast majority of collagen products are made from animal ingredients <i>(usually bovine or marine)</i>, however, <b>Cytoplan</b> has recently launched their brand new <b>Vegan Collagen</b> supplements which will help to offer more choice to those seeking a cruelty-free alternative.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These new kids on the supplement block feature an entirely unique and innovative 100% plant-based '<b>Vollagen Complex</b>' that's exclusive to <b>Cytoplan</b>, and two capsules a day yield 1000mg.

If you haven't heard of the concept before, here's a quick post to get you up to speed and five tried and tested product recommendations to help you on your way.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><span style="font-size: large;">What Is Waterless Beauty?</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Waterless beauty</b> are products that have been made without any water. So think of things like solid, concentrated, and powdered formulas like shampoo bars, exfoliating powders, multipurpose balms, <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2016/10/tried-tested-3-natural-roll-on.html" target="_blank">eco-friendly deodorants</a>, etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Why Is Waterless Beauty Trending?</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It can be difficult to think of water shortages in our everyday lives when you live in the UK, especially with heavy rain and flooding being so commonplace here, but for the rest of the world, water shortages are a massively growing problem due to climate change and overpopulation. <b>Waterless beauty</b> has become a topic of conversation because beauty is the second biggest industry globally that consumes the most water, after agriculture. This is largely because most beauty products contain water; have a look at the products that you use every day and you'll start to see the size of the problem, as 'aqua' is often the first ingredient that's listed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not only is the quantity of water used within the beauty industry a cause for concern, but there's also the packaging and transport of all of these products to factor in as well. A standard plastic bottle of shampoo uses a huge amount of water to manufacture than a <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2020/07/green-beauty-plastic-free-edit.html" target="_blank">plastic-free solid shampoo bar</a> for example. This is why most waterless beauty products are packaged in an eco-friendly manner to reduce the need for water at every opportunity. For sustainable consumers, it makes sense because we can easily<i> add water</i> from our own taps to a product, so by purchasing waterless beauty products, you're generally cutting out all those extra CO2 emissions that come from transporting a heavy bottle of shampoo to the shop.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Waterless Beauty Means Less or No Preservatives</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2013/12/review-lyonsleaf-100-natural-beauty.html" target="_blank">waterless formulas</a> require little or no preservatives to be added. This is because you usually have to add some kind of preservative to a product if it contains water because bacteria grows so quickly in it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are <b>five water-free beauty product recommendations</b> that I've tried out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxWFy1a1-D-bpN0S60qCn_5nUH23BGoskyyUW9JrUXslc3wpp5MlK8gNoDBhhP4pp77QMUToKWWQfgLX6HWLvKJW6mJNWM1PbWPpjX21rZzfYkdYyd1PsZEETHgTU29oGWK6S3aeBMTQiNvhCvsrGsbXJn89SouAe5S6Z0CigaoTDJBuGTb4GHpVKiQ/s3640/unnamed-4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Marley's Pure & Natural Shampoo with Eucalyptus & Green Clay" border="0" data-original-height="3640" data-original-width="2904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxWFy1a1-D-bpN0S60qCn_5nUH23BGoskyyUW9JrUXslc3wpp5MlK8gNoDBhhP4pp77QMUToKWWQfgLX6HWLvKJW6mJNWM1PbWPpjX21rZzfYkdYyd1PsZEETHgTU29oGWK6S3aeBMTQiNvhCvsrGsbXJn89SouAe5S6Z0CigaoTDJBuGTb4GHpVKiQ/s16000/unnamed-4.png" title="Marley's Pure & Natural Shampoo with Eucalyptus & Green Clay" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Swap One: Marley's Pure & Natural Shampoo with Eucalyptus & Green Clay</span><span style="font-size: large;">* </span><i>(50g, €11.25)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shampoo bars are the obvious choice when it comes to swapping your regular bottle of shampoo for a waterless alternative, however, they don't always work for everyone and it can be a case of trial and error to find the one that does work for your hair type. Shampoo flakes, on the other hand, seem to be something that more people report having greater success with, and the best that I've tried is <b>Marley's Pure & Natural Shampoo with Eucalyptus & Green Clay</b>. Here you have a pouch of solid shampoo flakes which you add to hot water and then refrigerate overnight, before using as you would any other liquid shampoo - genius stuff! It's a Dutch brand but there are a fair few UK stockists knocking about - I pick it up from my local independent health store; one pouch replaces a large 400ml plastic bottle of shampoo.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbjg5SvOoMlmOf6eA7o84OAQe3qW_KcSLyty94HPO9mwf5UYOfwDuNETgfiWshInwICq3P6Trl0e0GasiGFgOw28n4S-fGR5smBxu7hL_qdC-_iSTTovtk1R7j-V-Nwymdj8OzrlY6vJbMc4jka70Kdkus_feofL-CI5dJtallQS2dNzKBQkw7sgyZzA/s2888/unnamed-3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Trilogy Everything Balm" border="0" data-original-height="2888" data-original-width="2736" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbjg5SvOoMlmOf6eA7o84OAQe3qW_KcSLyty94HPO9mwf5UYOfwDuNETgfiWshInwICq3P6Trl0e0GasiGFgOw28n4S-fGR5smBxu7hL_qdC-_iSTTovtk1R7j-V-Nwymdj8OzrlY6vJbMc4jka70Kdkus_feofL-CI5dJtallQS2dNzKBQkw7sgyZzA/s16000/unnamed-3.png" title="Trilogy Everything Balm" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Swap Two: Trilogy Everything Balm</span>* <i>(45ml, £15.50, <a href="https://trilogyproducts.co.uk/products/everything-balm" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Regular readers know how much I <i>love</i> <b>multi-purpose balms</b> and in fact, I have a stash of them floating around somewhere, usually in every desk drawer, on every bedside table, and in every handbag.

This means that the packaging is a much smaller bottle as the powder is concentrated, and being a powder, it's super lightweight which makes it brilliant for traveling with, especially if you just have a carry-on with you. <b>Dust & Glow</b> is a New Zealand brand <i>(some London-based eco-shops stock them)</i>, but if you have trouble finding it, you can try the British brand <a href="http://www.wewereraisedbywolves.co.uk/2022/12/introducing-inclusev-add-aqua.html" target="_blank">Inclusev</a> instead which has a great range of powder beauty products.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRKnvOyb1qc2X4bfbPgR4-d-f-62Gx7lXj5EAjLn2PRdF4VtITfC8MkJowvcfNM-2ufTN2ks7wrcwHInNMC7Gd3WBmyljtdhaYgw04Qb6BhpKjdXKytw8SBLl0wAB1NUaxoC1OKDqkEfdXcKlG2mLEzsMMofuUk-rvWuvbvkOpiLNBqy84zy1H_Y0mQ/s2528/unnamed.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Elsa's Detox Natural Deodorant" border="0" data-original-height="2528" data-original-width="2328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRKnvOyb1qc2X4bfbPgR4-d-f-62Gx7lXj5EAjLn2PRdF4VtITfC8MkJowvcfNM-2ufTN2ks7wrcwHInNMC7Gd3WBmyljtdhaYgw04Qb6BhpKjdXKytw8SBLl0wAB1NUaxoC1OKDqkEfdXcKlG2mLEzsMMofuUk-rvWuvbvkOpiLNBqy84zy1H_Y0mQ/s16000/unnamed.png" title="Elsa's Detox Natural Deodorant" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Swap Five: Elsa's Detox Natural Deodorant</span>* <i>(£14, <a href="https://elsas.co.uk/products/natural-deodorant-cream-detox" target="_blank">link</a>)</i><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mainstream deodorant sticks and roll-ons almost always contain water as their first ingredient so it makes sense to switch to a natural deodorant that's better for your body as well.

One of my top picks would be <b>Elsa's Detox Natural Deodorant</b> which is something that I often recommend to those who are new to using a natural deodorant as it's a pretty strong and powerful formula and makes the switch less daunting!

Not only does it look pretty, but Pink Himalayan Salt is famed for containing over 80 trace minerals including magnesium, potassium, iron, and calcium. This gives the salt a unique composition which is great for drawing out toxins and rejuvenating the skin. Just make sure to really stir these salts around the bath as they are harder to fully dissolve if you don't.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm a big fan of the <b>Bloomtown Pink Himalayan Salt Soak in The Rose Garden</b> scent which smells incredible; if you love heady floral fragrances mixed with musk, this is the one for you.

You can pick up <b>Westlab Bath Salts</b> from a wide variety of stockists including many budget-friendly stores such as B&M and Saver's where you'll usually find a big 1kg bag for around £3.50 - £3.79, which is such a bargain!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRwpsBqjNdE09DfF0dl4FI0ArhFK98XdiPHKt0XGzs05GOp4nrMhAVV3cFdFOuSxGrrREuf7UkMT26KkubcIwY06CoQTq0AzYvh0LYA15vdoY_7Bu-ofywE_fNwzImci2M43WVaAQCbIdFAPY9MqcRzluNduIwi1ryZxr4oYcBmBIpXHoWgFqyMCC2EA/s3880/unnamed-6.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="M&S Apothecary Sleep Bath Salts review" border="0" data-original-height="3880" data-original-width="3008" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRwpsBqjNdE09DfF0dl4FI0ArhFK98XdiPHKt0XGzs05GOp4nrMhAVV3cFdFOuSxGrrREuf7UkMT26KkubcIwY06CoQTq0AzYvh0LYA15vdoY_7Bu-ofywE_fNwzImci2M43WVaAQCbIdFAPY9MqcRzluNduIwi1ryZxr4oYcBmBIpXHoWgFqyMCC2EA/s16000/unnamed-6.png" title="M&S Apothecary Sleep Bath Salts review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If You Want Your Bathroom To Feel Like A Spa Try: M&S Apothecary Sleep Bath Salts</span>* <i>(300g, £7.50, <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/sleep-bath-salts/p/hbp60482818" target="_blank">link</a>)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><p style="text-align: justify;">OK, so all of the bath salts in this post will make your bathroom smell amazing, but if you're looking for one that's going to go the extra mile and make it feel like a proper spa experience, <b>M&S Apothecary</b> is the range to look into. They have a couple of different blends available, and the <b>Sleep Bath Salts</b> are a clear winner in my humble opinion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Housed in a beautiful smoked grey glass bottle with a classic apothecary style vibe, these sea salts instantly hit you with a really strong and heady fragrance of Lavender, Eucalyptus, Vetiver, and Jasmine. This fragrance will quickly fill your whole bathroom, evoking a sense of calm and relaxation. Best of all, you can purchase refills which not only help to cut down on your packaging waste, but also make these bath salts more affordable in the long run.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Are you a fan of bath salts?</span></p>E V E L Y Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12134315525027464872noreply@blogger.com0
