Naturals Beauty Teen Range

I have blogged about the amazing Naturals Beauty range before and today I am sharing a review on their Teen Range. Many of you may not have teens yet but my eldest daughter is 12 years old and although not technically a “teenager” very much in need of good skin care! I have encouraged both my girls, from a young age, to look after their skin – it is after all the only one we have!

Puberty can play havoc with your skin and following a proper, daily skin care routine is vital, to keep those nasty spots a bay. We recently received this wonderful range of products, from the Naturals Beauty Teen Range, for my daughter to try out and here are her thoughts:

Teen Face Wash with Blue Mountain Sage + Buchu

“I found this cleanser very gentle on my skin, which is good because I have very sensitive skin! I used it twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening to wash my face. I really liked using it as my skin felt clean but not dry.”

The antibacterial & anti-inflammatory properties in the essential oils of Blue Mountain Sage, Buchu, Cinnamon and Tea Tree, gently deep cleanse the skin, removing the bacteria that cause acne and spots. Blue Mountain Sage contains bisabolol which will help reduce redness.

Teen Facial Moisturiser with Blue Mountain Sage + Buchu

“This moisturiser is great and did not leave my skin feeling greasy. My skin tends to be quite dry but does get very oily after a long day at school, especially if I am playing sport, so this definitely worked for me. I also used the moisturiser twice a day after cleansing my face.”

The Teen Facial Moisturiser contains essential oils, with antibacterial properties to help absorb excess oil and to help eliminate the acne causing bacteria. Vitamins A, E and B, found in avocado oil, will help nourish, heal and protect the skin, without making the face look or feel shiny or oily. Blue Mountain Sage contains bisabolol which will help reduce redness. Rooibos extract will soothe irritated skin.

Teen Spot Treatment with Blue Mountain Sage + Buchu

“The Spot Treatment is amazing and works very quickly. What I liked about it, is that it is very gentle on your skin, other spot treatments can dry your skin out but this does not! All you need to do is put a tiny amount on the spot after you have washed you face and it works like magic, taking away any redness from the spot. The only problem I have is my mom likes it too so she is always taking it and using it herself! :)”

A gentle treatment with natural ingredients to eliminate and treat acne spots. Use as often as required. Antibacterial & anti-inflammatory properties in the essential oils of Blue Mountain Sage, Buchu, Cinnamon and Tea Tree, will help to remove the bacteria that cause acne and spots. Blue Mountain Sage contains bisabolol which will help reduce redness.

Beautiful Earth Fathers Day Giveaway

This week I am very excited to be reviewing two more products from the Beautiful Earth range. Well actually my hubby is using them but I am sharing about them as they are from their men’s range. Beautiful Earth, as I have mentioned previously, is a specialist manufacturing company, distributing 100% natural products for personal care, to individual consumers and the hospitality industry.

The two products are both After Shave Balms and along with amazing soothing properties they are moisturising and nourishing for the skin, which is perfect post shaving.

SPEARMINT AFTERSHAVE BALM

This light lotion moisturises and shields skin from the negative effects of shaving. It contains Shea Butter, Grapeseed and Macadamia Nut oil and vitamin A and E to moisturise, for skin that looks and feels its natural best. Spearmint and Lemon oils have a fresh soft fragrance. Lemon essential oil will help to minimise skin irritation from shaving. This non-greasy anti-aging moisturiser absorbs quickly leaving your skin hydrated, calm and nourished.

This balm has a lovely invigorating smell and leaves my skin feeling fresh and moisturised after use – Grant Rossiter

ORANGE AFTERSHAVE BALM

This light lotion moisturises and shields skin from the negative effects of shaving. It contains Shea Butter, Grapeseed and Macadamia Nut oil and vitamin A and E to moisturise, for skin that looks and feels its natural best. Fresh citrus oils of Sweet Orange are blended in the warm, spicy depth of Patchouli and Frankincense oils for a crisp, woodsy scent. Your skin will smell as good as it feels. Frankincense essential oil will help to minimise the fine lines and Rose gives your skin an even texture. This non-greasy anti-aging moisturiser absorbs quickly and gives you a healthier more youthful appearance.

The Orange aftershave balm has a more subtle fragrance than the Spearmint balm but still leaves your skin feeling soothed and moisturised after shaving ~ Grant Rossiter

Beautiful Earth

This week I am very excited about reviewing products from the Beautiful Earth range. Beautiful Earth is a specialist manufacturing company, distributing 100% natural products for personal care, to individual consumers and the hospitality industry. As a eco-concious consumer I am always looking for ways to support local industry by finding local products, as an alternative to the international pharmaceutical brands and more importantly products that are not harmful and/or do not contain undesired ingredients, that may threaten our environment.

We see a world in which the entire family benefits from natural products through everyday use. In this world Beautiful Earth is recognised as the exemplar and the market leader in its countries of operation.

Our mission is to provide 100% natural, personal care products in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable manner, while generating attractive returns to all stakeholders. ~ Beautiful Earth

With winter on our doorstep it even more important to exfoliate your skin and keep it silky and smooth! The be Body Scrub is perfect for this job. Exfoliation is key to younger looking skin by promoting new cell growth. Old dead cells are gently removed assisting new healthy cells to surface. The salt scrub contains Shea butter, Sweet almond oil, Grapeseed oil, natural vitamin E and is enriched with Geranium, Lime and Lemongrass essential oils, that will leave your skin naturally soft and smooth. A natural and healthy way to exfoliate.

The Body Scrub has a wonderful texture and I love the zesty fragrance of lime and lemongrass, it leaves your skin feeling wonderfully invigorated and soft after use.

After exfoliation it is vital to replace the moisture in your skin and this is where the be Body Butter is the product to use. Made with shea butter it gently nourishes your skin with its luscious and creamy texture. The Body Butter contains rich emollients including the essential oils of Ylang-ylang, Sweet orange, Sandalwood and Rosewood which will help with severely dry or cracked skin. Use it all over to seal in moisture and soften your skin.

I love the soft subtle fragrance of Ylang-ylang and the rich creamy texture of the Body Butter, it leaves your skin wonderfully smooth without making it sticky or greasy to the touch.

If you would like to find out more about these and other products from the Beautiful Earth range please click here to visit their website.

I will also be announcing an exciting giveaway sponsored by be in the very near future so keep a look out for that! I will also report back on my thoughts on the be products I am reviewing.
