I’m about to do something very unusual for me and it feels a bit weird. I’m almost feeling guilty about it but frankly, it has to be done. What can this be, I hear you wonder? Well…the thing is…I’m going to write about a new(ish) range of skin products that are not…gulp….chemical free…or…. completely natural! I know I know. Why, …

People often contact me to ask what cleansers, face cream, sun products etc I use. I’ve decided therefore, to compile a list of what products I’m currently using. Thanks to this site, I’m constantly trying new things so my list does change every now and then. However, the products below are all firm favourites, chemical free, often organic and really …
