Multi Action Double Cream

Evolve Beauty, Multi Action Double Cream, £17.99

To say we love this clean, natural moisturiser is an understatement, and we urge you to try it! Evolve Beauty is the brain child of Laura Rudoe, who having played a key role in helping NUDE develop their own brand, decided to branch out on her own... and has done so in true style! Laura's Evolve Beauty team i talented to say the least, and since day 1 of our trial - about two months underway now - we adore this multi action double cream moisturiser for umpteen reasons.

It smells divine - an important precursor for falling in love! More importantly, it hydrates the skin effectively. Considering its formulation appears so light to touch, it does the job extremely well. We've certainly noticed our skin feel softer and visibly so, and this feeling lasts throughout the day. This is down to the natural science of almond peptides. What's more, this multi action double cream is specifically designed to fight ageing - Evolve's single cream is packed with anti-ageing natural peptides plus its key ingredient, organic argan oil, an ancestral African ingredient, has long been touted for anti-ageing properties.

In other words, evolve beauty does what it says on its 'tin', which leads us to another brilliant point. Evolve Beauty's packaging is highly innovative as it uses recycled old milk plastic bottles - bingo!

Weleda Deodorants

Weleda at Big Green Smile, Deodorants, £5.95

It's true you can't get a natural anti-perspirant, but as far as natural deodorants are concerned, we've loved using the Sage version offered by Weleda. It works effectively at combating underarm body odour, and can also work on your feet too if that's a concern. We love the Sage smell - woody and herbal, and really quite refreshing - and without a doubt, beats the chemical and aluminium bomb found in traditional deodorants. So if you're looking to change and need some advice - look no further than Weleda. We haven't tried the Rose version yet, but we bet that smells nice too!

Organic Poppy Body Cream

Body Cream, Poppy Organic, £20

The GIN Lady has been using this 'miracle' product for a while now and is a firm favourite in her beauty cabinet. Why? Because it works a treat on dry itchy skin, and in the summer, it doubles up as a fantastic product to help sun damaged skin. Its effectiveness lies in its Birch Bark extract. It contains powerful natural ingredients that offer pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties and we have to admit, it really does the job. With research, the small team behind this lovely skincare label also discovered Birch Bark extract can combat Actinic keratosis (the result of prolonged exposure to the sun), skin cancer and other cancers. Highly recommended.

Natural Empathy Limited Edition

Natural Empathy, Hand and Body Lotion, £15 for 200ml

Beautifully British, Natural Empathy is a skin care brand we've raved about before and for good reason. Their products are highly effective and there isn't a chemical in sight. Brilliantly clean, it's also one of those rare brands that can boast a beautifully British label, as is made in the rolling green hills of Northumberland.

This limited edition Hand and Body lotion, proudly wrapped in Union Jack flag packaging, is a luxurious blend that gives off a nostalgic natural fragrance enhancing its non-greasy, silky formula and a little goes a long way too - surely the perfect gift for your mum (we're certainly buying some for our mothers!).

This exclusive lotion is enriched with organic essential oils including cedarwood, lavender and patchouli and contains the Natural Empathy range’s signature cold pressed extra virgin moisturising oil grown exclusively in Northumberland, to care for and nourish your skin.  Britain’s superior answer to olive oil, rape seed oil is one of the most natural and healthy oils in existence - richer and more nutritive, easily absorbed and wonderfully softening. 

This paraben free, cruelty free, synthetic free, natural beauty product is made lovingly in small batches and is suitable for even sensitive skin.
