The Ultimate Pamper Night // Raw Skincare

Tomorrow is Valentines Day, so if you have a hot date tomorrow, why not take this evening off, to relax and pamper yourself to ensure you feel 100% as beautiful as you are? 

Yes, tempted? Ok, we have devised a itinerary for you to follow and enjoy to leave you feeling calm and relaxed before the big date! If you don't have a big date tomorrow night, why not enjoy this pamper evening tomorrow instead and love yourself whilst doing it!

1. Run a lovely warm bath- add small amount of Repair & Revive body butter to running bath water and allow the fragrance of Lavender and Cypress Oil relax you into oblivion *ahhhh* why not put on some super relaxing music to really get you into the chill out zone. 

2. Moisturise- Once you have had a good long soak, pat yourself dry gently, and whilst your skin is still warm, apply your favourite body butter. You skin will absorb the goodness easier after a good ol' soak. Put on some comfy Jim Jams (or PJ's, what ever you like to call them) and relax and unwind. 

3. Hair care- Now you are all dry and snug in your PJ's with your body being nourished and moisturised by our body butter, its time to sort the hair. Hopefully it will have dried partially in a towel by now. Use the towel to squeeze off the excess water that is remaining (the less heat you have to use to dry your hair the better). So now you have two options- either add a couple of drops of Argan oil to your finger tips and run through the ends of your hair and dry on a low heat setting. Or, squeeze out a bit more oil and rub your hands from the scalp all the way to the ends. This is a more intensive treatment which will need to be washed out in the morning. 

4. Now you have sorted your hair, it is time to relax with a nice cup of herbal tea (make sure it is caffeine free or you won't get a nice relaxing sleep) now read a good book or listen to some music before you head off to the land of nod. It is best to avoid watching TV just before bed time as it can disturb your sleep. 

5. Night night.

DIY Exfoliator // Raw Skincare

Exfoliation is a must to keep your skin looking fabulously glowing. So we thought we would teach you how to make your own. 

Step 1- Grab some brown sugar, preferably the fair trade version if you can afford it, although any kind of granulated sugar will do. 

Step 2- Measure out about 50g of sugar and keep in a small, shower ready contain

Step 3- Take a couple of drops of Raw concentrate and mix in with the sugar. 

Step 4- Take a nice warm shower and wash all over- Once you have almost finished your shower, turn the water down/off and grab your pot of sugar scrub. Now gently massage onto the area of skin desired and in small circular motions and leave on your skin for 5 minutes to allow the oils to sink in. 

Step 5- Rinse down and ensure you have washed away the sugar granules (don't worry they dissolve in water so won't block your drains). If you want to use a soap to remove the oil you can, however leaving it on will be super beneficial for your skin. Simply pat down, and Voilà! Super soft, scrummy skin! The one good use of sugar for skincare.

Be Happy In Your Own Skin // Raw Skincare

We know how tough it is to live up to the expectations of the beauty industry- we are part of that industry. So we want to take a minute to tell you how beautiful you are, every lump & bump, every scar, the bits you hate about your self- we love. 

Every body is different, there is not one person on this planet who is what the beauty industry deems as "perfect"- everyone has something they are unhappy with, or something that someone else does not like, but that is what makes us as unique. 

It is time that we all start loving ourselves, loving what we are and who we are. There is no harm in trying to improve yourself change yourself (you don't need improving). As long as your are happy with who you are that is all that matters. If you aren't happy with who you are, it's time to change that image of yourself. Tell yourself you are beautiful, that you are worth it and most of all tell others too! 

Everyone has their own journey, their own story and their own battles. Make someone's day and tell them how nice they look, how happy they make you or that you love them to the moon and back. Small steps will mean a big distance covered in the future, and the bigger steps we take to improving the industry's perfection of what beauty really is, the quicker we will get to that goal! 

Beauty is you. 

Please share this with someone who is struggling to believe that they are beautiful & tell them how beautiful they really are!

Oil & Skincare

Over the psst decade, possibly more, "oil-free skincare" advertisement has been all over our tv screens, magazines  and radio stations. It is usually in products that are made specifically for those with oily skin- because who wants to add extra oil to their skin if they have oily skin right? Wrong. 

Oil and your skin love each other, very, very much! By using products that are drying (and remove your natural oil) your body will work extra hard to produce more to help keep your skin moisturised. Now obviously no one wants oily skin, so how do you get rid of the oil without producing more oil? Add oil!! It's sounds all confusing and sounds like a down right lie, but it's not. One of the basic rules in chemistry is that like dissolves like. You wouldn't use water to dissolve oil or vice versa, but you would use water to dissolve water, and oil for oil. The same principal applies to you skin, if you use oil on your skin, it will help remove excess oil by dissolving/ emulsifying it. 

Many people have become scared of using facial oils because of the idea that you shouldn't use oil on oily skin, but oils are actually wonderful for your skin and your skin will love you for using it. The amount of excess sebum you produce will eventually decrease and you will be left with much less oily and shiny skin.

Why not try out our 100% natural skin serum, packed full of skin loving oils that will help to nourish and protect your skin!
