Moisturising In-Shower Salt Scrub

Don't get me wrong, I love a good pamper night but, when the weather is this hot the last thing I want to be doing is sitting in a steaming bath and spending hours slathering on the lotions and potions when I could be sprawled on the grass outside in the sunshine.

However, the heat also calls for far more skin to be on show than usual and this requires some form of maintenance. Enter my In-Shower Salt Scrub. With just two ingredients this scrub is ridiculously simple to make and will leave your skin super silky soft with no further moisturise-ation required.

Review: Indian Healing Clay

As you may have read in previous posts on this blog, my skin and I have rarely been friends (or even civil acquaintances) so far in life and the appearance of it has frequently made me feel self-concious and depressed. With a combination of hyper-sensitivity and acne it has always been tricky to find products that can benefit both aspects particularly when it comes to face masks. Many are designed to either be aggressively acne clearing, and therefore drying, or "thirst quenching", a.k.a smotheringly greasy.

For years I avoided face masks like crazy and would, on occasion, make my own with ingredients from my kitchen just to ensure that I knew all of the contents were simple, natural and non-irritants. Whilst doing some internet research on natural ingredients that make for great masks I came across Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. After reading several positive reviews from people with all skin-types, I decided to give it a go.

3 Oils and Different Daily Uses for Them

When I was a teenager I used to think oil was the devil. I hated the taste of it on my food, the texture of it on my face and couldn't BARE the idea of using it after a shower before getting dressed for the day. However, when I turned the meagre age of 12 I suddenly had a huge growth spurt (I know, young right?) and was one of the first people in my year to develop stretch marks, acne and well... everything else. It was around this time that I began to research what I could do to diminish the deep purple scars that were showing up all over my body and, thus, my love affair with oils began.

Review: Freya Luna

For almost a year now my skin has been a complete mess. A combination of hormones running riot, emotional upheaval, major stresses and complete lifestyle changes have resulted in acne, hypersensitivity, hyper-pigmentation, eczema and major dullness.
