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!

Raw Concentrate Skin Serum- Application & Use

Raw Concentrate skin serum is one of our most popular products. It is suitable for all skin types and is great for facial as well as body application.

So we thought we would answer some of the most common questions asked to help you guys find your perfect Skin Serum routine. 

When should I use Raw Concentrate?

Raw Concentrate is fantastic as an everyday facial moisturiser apply a couple of drops (you really don't need any more for everyday use) and gently massage into your skin in an upwards motion until it has been absorbed. If you are planning on using this product before make-up application make sure you allow around 30minutes for the serum to be fully absorbed into your skin. If you don't think you have time for this, why not try massaging it on after jumping out of the shower- whilst you dry your hair and get dressed it will allow the serum to have time to work its magic before you do your make-up.

Can I use Raw Concentrate as a night Serum?

We find that using a few extra drops of serum just before bed time is great- you should wake up and notice how soft your skin feels in the morning. However we would recommend that you do this as an extra form of pampering and not as an every night routine. When you sleep, your body recharges and repairs its self. By using a night cream or serum every night you will begin to inhibit your bodies natural function of repair as it won't need to help you provide the moisture that your skin naturally needs. After a while your body will stop this function as it will deem it unnecessary- therefore we would recommend not using a night creme or serum on a regular basis, just when your body could do with a little helping hand.  

How should I apply Raw Concentrate? 

Apply a couple of drops to clean hands and rub together until warm. Then gently apply to your skin starting from your neck upwards, in small circular motions. This will help increase circulation to the skin as well as ensuring the serum is gently absorbed.

Can I use Raw Concentrate on my body too?

Raw Concentrate is a fantastic moisturiser and can be used all over your body. Apply a couple of drops to the area you wish to apply the product too and massage in to your skin in small circular motions. 

A little really goes a long way with this product- it is easily absorbed and smells great. A little gem in your skincare routine. 

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!

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.

When thinking about coconuts I instantly imagine myself laying on a beach in some exotic country with a scrumptious pinacolada in hand. The smell & taste is one of my favourites! Most people when thinking of coconut probably don't imagine themselves rubbing it all over their bodies! Please let me know if this actually you!

Coconuts not only provide us with fantastic foods and beverages, but they also provide us with a gorgeous oil. Not only does this oil smell amazing, it also has some of the most amazing skincare properties that will leave your skin feeling super soft and hydrated. 

Coconut oil is a solid oil at room temperature but melts on contact with skin

We use coconut oil in a large proportion of our skincare including our body butters, skin serum and lip balms. It provides amazing nourishment and moisturisation leaving your skin feeling soft, supple and smooth. Which is why it is apparent in a large number of products that we produce.

Coconut oil is not only a fantastic natural skincare ingredient for providing soft gorgeous skin, it also has a natural SPF which is always a bonus!

Would You Eat Your Skincare?

When deciding what you are going to eat, or what you are going to feed to your children and family, it is probably fair to say that you consider your dietary requirements. You want to ensure it is tasty & filling but is also healthy and nutritious for you as well right? Well that is exactly what you should be doing with your skincare too! 

It is believed that upto 70% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your blood stream! We are yet to find a scientific study that backs this claim up 100% but it is a daunting prospect none the less. If indeed our skincare is absorbed into our blood stream, this means it visits your organs and is filtered through your liver and anything nasty or unwanted is then filtered out in your pee! Wonderful. So choosing skincare should be as simple as choosing what to eat! If you wouldn't eat your skincare, why would you put it on your skin?

You want your skincare to smell great and feel lovely when you put it on, just like you want you dinner to smell and taste great. But you also want it to nourish your skin, protect it and make it look wonderful. Just like eating a healthy wholesome meal! Would you purposefully feed your body chemicals that you can't even pronounce if you knew it was in your food? Or allow known carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals) to pass your mouth everyday? If the answer is no, the spa swear should also be the same when it comes to your skincare.

So now I have made you all feel hungry, thinking about tonight's yummy roast, or scrumptious pasta dish or what ever you will be eating, take a minute to check your skincare supply ingredients list and see what you are really feeding your body every day!
