With consumers being more conscious about what beauty products they're using, as well as what ingredients go into them, I've put together a gift guide to help you treat that friend or family member who prefers a natural beauty alternative.
FACE HALO Makeup Removing Pads - I've raved about this product since its release but it has honestly changed the cleansing landscape. The reusable, machine washable microfiber makeup remover pads only require water and are effective at removing makeup, negating the need for face wipes, whilst giving your skin a break from stripping cleansers and the like. I like to use my Face Halo as the first cleanse. It also works well at removing face masks.
NATIO Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser Set - An easy way to unwind and de-stress, the Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser Set comes with the diffuser, an essential oil blend and an Australian Rainforest Magic Music CD for hours of relaxing meditation music. The diffuser is cool to touch when on, has 7 LED colour modes and an automatic timer shut off. Beautifully filling the room with gentle essential oils, it's a lovely pampering gift.
CEDAR AND STONE Skincare Set - This female owned company offers 100% plant based skincare and home formulas that feature a number of organic ingredients. The skincare range has products to target any skin concerns you might have. The sleek packaging houses gentle yet effective formulas that deliver. The Minty Cleanse Bar is refreshing and detoxifying, whilst the Formidable Face moisutriser is light and calming on the skin.
MERE SKINCARE PHYTOSPHERE Products - MERE is a 100% vegan brand inspired by the offerings of Australia's natural environment in which it sources a number of its ingredients. Focused on their products working with your own natural skin system, the range has a no fuss, effective approach to their formulas. T he Resilience 8 oil is luxurious and rich, without being heavy on the skin, whilst the Hydra Bright Eye melts into the skin around the eyes and comes with a gorgeous gold toned applicator.
TRILOGY Certified Organic Rosehip Oil Roller - A fabulous addition to the already existing range from Trilogy, the brand recently introduced a 10ml roller ball offering and it's the perfect handbag accompaniment for on the go application for any small patches of dry and irritated skin. The roller ball is also great to use at home for its direct and precise application, particularly when targeting scars.
SAMSON & CHARLIE Jade Gua Sha - Jade beauty rollers may be all the rage but the Gua Sha isn't far behind! An ancient Chinese technique, the new modern version of the Gua Sha is used to massage and stimulate the face as its said to improve collagen levels, help products penetrate the skin better and help with lymphatic drainage.
THE BEAUTY CHEF Hydration Inner Beauty Boost - I'm a big believer in that looking after your insides will definitely benefit your hair, skin and nails on the outside. This offering from The Beauty Chef aims to help hydrate your body through its bio-fermented formula that includes coconut water, aloe vera and lemon myrtle. Its arguably the best tasting beauty supplement on the market, is easy to take and suitable for many as it's free from anything artificial with no added gluten, dairy or nuts.
