Serums are a great product to use in your skin care routine to deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin and target specific skincare concerns.

FOM London products are free from parabens, colours, silicone's, synthetic fragrances, mineral oils, sulphates, and are against animal testing.
The FOM London hydra plump serum is presented in a frosted glass bottle with pump applicator and the ingredients are as follows:
Rosa Damascena (rose) Water - The ultimate ingredient to soothe and reduce inflammation, whilst antioxidants protect the skin cells from damage.
Aqua (water) - A water based product that works extremely well when layering with other products.

Massaging around cheeks, eyes, forehead, nose and down to the neck will help absorption, while also pressing into the skin will ensure the active ingredients are delivered. Skin feels instantly hydrated and nurtured, whilst I was surprised on how texturally smooth skin feels without the use of silicone's that can give you that exact feeling. A must-have, multi-tasking serum for your skin care routine followed by your moisturiser and sunscreen for a hydration boost, improved skin tone, and antioxidant protection throughout the day and night with every application. Suitable for all skin types, purchase the lightweight and high performance serum to aid skin and improve your complexion. X Neil.

Vegan Skincare From NEEK Skin Organics.

Discover the vegan skincare brand NEEK Skin Organics which is made in Australia and features products that are earth, animal & human-friendly, while being super effective! The founder of NEEK Angelique created her own products using simple and effective ingredients because of her own skin intolerance to parabens. Formulating products using natural, active ingredients, they are scientifically-proven to boost skins health and revive all complexions. All the products are not tested on animals, which is the NEEK ethos, and are presented in recyclable packaging to be environmentally-friendly.
The NEEK skin organics vegan face cleanser ensures a gentle, but deep cleanse, using vegan botanicals to remove makeup and detoxify the skin, without stripping it.  Incorporating sage, aloe vera, and calendula with other natural ingredients, the cleanser is great for acne and blemished skin, whilst also offering natural anti-ageing protection from bladderwrack and wild peach extract included. Applying to damp skin, the clear coloured cleanser glides over the skin with ease with a light natural scent detected that is enjoyable. Massaging into the skin, the cleanser does foam a little to ensure even skin coverage, before washing off with warm water for cleansed skin that does not feel stripped of its essential moisture. It does state you can repeat this step to perform a second cleanse if wearing any sunscreen or heavy makeup because the oils included will break these down, but I found one cleanse efficiently removes any product especially an SPF i usually have to remove twice, leaving skin feeling soft and supple and perfect to use morning and night.

The Neek Vegan Face Cleanser Is Free From:
parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, palm oil, perfume, phenoxyethanol, gluten, propylene glycol, EDTA, beaver secretions, and other animal ingredients or animal by-products.
The NEEK skin organics vegan face moisturiser is formulated to be a lightweight and non-greasy alternative from heavier moisturisers, but is still able to deliver a much needed hydration boost for all skin types. Hyaluronic acid retains skin moisture, while antioxidant wattleseed balances skin with anti-inflammatory properties (and much more) for a brighter complexion with a smoother texture. The potent anti-oxidant Aloe Vera soothes and moisturises to help compromised and dehydrated skin, while also helping to reduce acne and accelerate wound healing. Applying to the face, neck, and decolletage, the moisturiser glides over the skin with ease and absorbs instantly when using gentle massaging movements. A light and natural scent can be detected with soft and smooth skin that feels hydrated and supported throughout the day. 


The NEEK Vegan Face Moisturiser Is Free From:
parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, palm oil, perfume, phenoxyethanol, gluten, propylene glycol or EDTA, sheep grease, and other animal ingredients or animal by-products.
I was really impressed in how the cleanser and moisturiser performed with only using a little of each product. Suitable for all skin types, while also being essentially great for acne or combination skin, it also appeals for people looking for natural anti-ageing properties in their skin care products. The easy dispensing from the eye-appealing and travel-friendly tubes is great for people to lavish their skin with high quality ingredients if you have little time to spare in your morning or evening skincare routine.

Grahams Natural Psoriasis Cream.

Assist in the management of Psoriasis when topically applying the Grahams Natural Psoriasis Cream daily. Grahams natural alternatives was created by Geoff and Shannon out of a necessity to find a natural and safe treatment for their child's eczema. Geoff who has his own experience with suffering from eczema did not want his own child going through the same agonising journey, so they discovered using a unique combination of high-quality ingredients was a success. The husband and wife team created and developed a range for all ages and is recognised as Australia's leading natural eczema and psoriasis skincare brand.
Essential emollients used for psoriasis and eczema assist to soothe and provide hydration, while trapping and stopping essential moisture loss. Emollient therapy can also help to redress skin plaques, one of the key signs of psoriasis, while also helping dry, inflamed, itching, and thickened skin. Emollients are quite different from a moisturiser by the fact they include more particular ingredients inside a finished moisturiser to specifically treat more than one skin complaint. Grahams natural psoriasis cream acts by softening, soothing, and lubricating the surface to enhance scale removal and providing epidermal re-hydration. The combination of humectants, antioxidants and mild keratolytic agents compliment the emollient and moisturising action the cream provides to normalise the skins structure and function.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a complex treatment needed, it is noted that your doctors advice is needed to manage the condition and you must tell them you are using the grahams natural psoriasis cream. The cream can be used in combination with phototherapy, medicated treatments, salicylic acid, topical vitamin A and D analogues, and corticosteroid treatments. It is important that you must NOT use this cream before application of dithranol because that medication has to stay on the skin to penetrate before washing off. You can apply the psoriasis cream AFTER this treatment to follow-up its beneficial results and supply skin with its beneficial ingredients.
The non-sterile and natural formula should be applied to clean, dry skin, as required by your own skins need. One of the best methods to use emollients is to apply them thinly to the skin to allow absorption of the product and supply skin with continuous support through frequent applications during the day. The application is made easy by the squeezable tube and the low-irritant and fragrance-free formula instantly absorbs and soothes on application. The light formula that does not feel greasy or sticky and uses manuka honey, centella asiatica, jojoba oil, Shea butter, and avocado oil, while using medium-chain triglycerides, sodium hyaluronate, and beeswax (just to name a few) to hydrate, condition, and protect compromised skin. Continuing your applications when travelling are made easy by the travel-friendly tube and the cream helps in the successful management of the symptoms of psoriasis. Discover the Grahams natural psoriasis cream and the other products available from the naturally formulated skin care range, X Neil.

The Jason Smoothing Coconut Oil For All Your Beauty Needs!


The Jason Smoothing Organic Coconut Oil presents itself in an impressive 443ml tub and is perfect to use for skin, hair, and nails. The melt-at-first-touch oil contains antioxidants Vitamin E and Polyphenols that rejuvenate, protect skin from free radicals, whilst also replenishing essential lipids for a balanced and improved skin. The certified USDA organic formula does not contain parabens, SLS, petrolatum, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, and no phthalates to be awarded this certification. Twisting the lid off the fairly large tub you will find a silver protective layer that u have to break to access this desirable coconut oil, but how do you apply and use it?


The multi-tasking coconut oil is renowned for its multi-purpose use to aid and help your beauty needs. It is important to note that before you start to use this natural product and reap the awards it offers, there are three different types of coconut oil available, because of the extraction and processing methods that are used. Unrefined coconut oil is the better option simply because of its extraction process that keeps all of it's natural beneficial content intact. Refined coconut oil is produced by extracting it from previously dried coconut and using chemical solvents or other methods, which means it will lose the pure beneficial content at the end of this task. Liquid coconut oil has unfortuntly had lauric acid removed to stay as a liquid, this means you will not benefit from the fatty acid that is known for its beauty benefits.
The great thing about using coconut oil is that it is able to naturally treat, act, and be used alongside other products with little disruption. The oil is in solid form in the tub, but as soon as you scoop some out the heat from your skin melts it easily. Apply to wet skin after a shower or bath to lock in hydration for softer and smoother skin, while you can apply to any rough or dry patches for instant soothing. Treat dry and damaged hair by applying for half an hour before shampooing and you can also apply to ends after styling to nurture and prevent split ends. I was really impressed on how little you need on application and how quickly it absorbs, with out it feeling overly greasy or sticky. The natural sweet and clean aroma is enjoyable each time you apply and you have 18 months upon opening, before spoiling and proceeding to recycle the packaging. Purchase and enjoy the Jason Smoothing Organic Coconut Oil for all your beauty needs! X Neil.
