Applying a few pumps of the Conscious Skincare jojoba oil to dry hair before washing will act as a pre-wash nourishing treatment for dry or unruly hair. Leaving on the hair for at least 20 minutes will allow the natural oil to work its magic, while also making sure you lightly massage into the scalp. Jojoba oil is a great natural-alternative to anyone who suffers with a dry or itchy scalp because its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties will soothe and cleanse for a calmer and healthier experience. Adding a few drops into your shampoo will also ensure a hydrating cleanse without stripping the hair of its essential moisture, while you can also add a few drops into your conditioner or mask to boost hydration and nourishing benefits. Applying to hair as a leave-in moisturiser will tame any frizz and boost your daily shine and you can apply to hair before bed for an overnight hair treatment your hair will love. The lightweight and non-greasy oil can be used however you like, involve it into your hair care routine to feel and see the happy hair benefits the natural hair oil provides, X Neil.

Bathe the skin in luxury with the finest traditional soap-making expertise and natural ingredients to experience a SETUNEA natural handmade soap that respects your skin. Containing just three natural ingredients, the soaps are produced using traditional techniques, before the mixture is laid out to solidify, and are then carved out and stacked in drying towers for up to 5 months before being packaged. Soap bars are becoming more popular because they reduce waste of a product (you only use what u need) and there is less or none plastic packaging. Disclaimer: I was sent the product free, but this does not change my honest opinion written in my blog posts.

The SETUNEA natural handmade soap uses the highest concentration of cold-pressed, organic, extra virgin olive oil. Incorporating this key-ingredient, SETUNEA only use the highest grade olive oil that has not been refined through heating or chemical treatments as these treatments essentially devalue the natural properties olive oil contains. The century-used ingredient has been applied topically to help and relieve many skin ailments because it possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-ageing properties. The antioxidants contained in olive oil help to fight free radicals that can damage the skin, while also the skin-loving squalene provides hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits for a healthier and balanced moisture-barrier function.
The three natural ingredients in the formula are:
  • Organic extra virgin olive oil (Olea europea) 80%.
  • Water (Aqua).
  • Food Grade lye (Soda).

Natural soap bars are great to reach for because they contain NO preservatives or additives that can aggravate an already unbalanced and upset skin. The SETUNEA natural handmade soap is packaged beautifully in recyclable packaging and has a soft-moisturising texture when dry and wet. Slightly lathering when wet and applying over the whole body, the skin feels efficiently cleansed without feeling stripped of its natural moisture and there is no oily residue. Treat your hair to a natural cleanse when using the soap bar to rid of any styling products, while also hydrating and nourishing any dry or damaged ends for a natural hair remedy. Washing your hands with the soap will also prevent dry and chapped skin (great for winter) and will also nourish the cuticles to keep nails strong and healthy. Purchase and enjoy the natural benefits the SETUNEA natural handmade soap has to offer, thanks to its rich antioxidant, vitamin, and skin-loving polyphenols content. X Neil.

Suitable for all skin types, the Ere Perez Quandong Green Booster Serum is presented in glass bottle accompanied by an eye dispensing pipette. The green colour is somewhat of a welcomed change to the normal clear-coloured serums that are usually presented, but the green colour does not transfer or show on the skin. The slight natural scent is barely detectable and the palm free, vegan friendly, cruelty-free formula contains:

Applying the serum to the face, neck, and decolletage, the slightly thick texture glides over the skin and disperses easily. I was really impressed on how little you need to cover the skin, while it only took one gentle tap or pat, before the serum was absorbed. The skin feels instantly smooth and hydrated without feeling sticky or greasy, and this lightweight serum works great under a moisturiser and sunscreen. The Ere Perez Quandong Green Booster Serum provides hydration, revitalisation, and antioxidant protection to work in harmony with you and your skin, X Neil.

Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask.

Achieve a brighter and smoother complexion with one application from the easy-to-use Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask. The combination of active ingredients, blended with soothing and hydrating components, this mask is your skin care product to reach for when your skin is looking dull, tired, and with signs of ageing. The AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) included in the mask are formulated from sugary acids, in this product gentle lactic acid is used to work on the skins surface to improve skin tone and texture, while also being able to enhance natural moisturising factors within the skin. Disclosure: I was sent the product free as part of the LoveLula Accredited Blogger Programme, this does not change my thoughts or opinions written in my honest blog posts, i hope u enjoy the read.
The peel mask is your weekly treatment in your skin care routine to effectively remove the dead skin cell layer that is present and will help your other skin care products penetrate and perform better. It is important to remember that when using this product it is to be applied to skin in the evening and also a sunscreen should be worn the following morning, while also avoiding any intense sun exposure like tanning and sun beds. Revealing this fresh layer of skin, i would suggest a broad spectrum sunscreen 50+ that protects you against the two types of UV light which are UVA and UVB rays.
Applying the mask evenly to a clean face and neck, you may notice a slight tingling sensation that can be experienced when using any acid product. Leaving the mask on for at least 3-10 minutes, if you experience any discomfort or a burning sensation you must rinse off immediately and reduce your next application time that is more suited to your skin. I always set a timer on my phone so i never go over the allocated time, but i can also note the time of my own skins tolerance to any product for future applications.
Disclosure: The link in blue is NOT affiliated and is only used to help you find the product quicker! The mask is non-drip and feels lightweight on the skin, while rinsing off with luke-warm-water to remove any traces is easy, before patting the skin dry. Soft and smoother skin is felt after the rinse off and my other skin care products did seem to penetrate quicker after using the mask. I do like to treat the skin after any treatment that has been performed, whether that be with a super hydrating serum, a high emollient moisturiser, or a nourishing and comforting facial oil that your skin will thank you for using. Include the Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask into your skin care routine weekly for an effective at-home skin treatment. X Neil.

The perfumed hair freshener is your go-to hair product that can be used to refresh, restyle, while also adding shine and calming frizz for any hair type or colour. The vegan-friendly and cruelty-free formula does not contain any animal derived ingredients, while the see-through brown bottle is quite handy to see just how much of this hair multi-tasker you have left, before you run out.
Disclosure: I was sent the product free as part of the LoveLula Accredited Blogger Programme, this does not change my thoughts or opinions written in my honest blog posts, i hope u enjoy the read.
The floral hair perfume combines geranium, bergamot, and vanilla to lightly linger the hair with a natural and sweet floral bouquet. Applying to dry hair to refresh your style, if you do not like to wash your every day, is a great tip if time is not on your side in the mornings. You can also apply to damp hair to protect the hair from any heat from your hairdryer, while also applying to dry hair to protect the hair from styling tongs and hair straighteners.  The sulfate and paraben free formula is fragranced with essential oils and the ingredients are listed as follows:

Alcohol Denat - Typically used in some styling products to speed up the drying process.
Cyclomethicone - A popular heat protectant silicone to use in hair care products because it provides that silky feeling without weighing the hair down and does not cause product build-up.

The spray applicator delivers a fine mist to ensure an even coverage, but u can section and part the hair to make sure all your hair is benefiting. A brush or comb glides through the hair easier and i also noticed that the blow-drying time it usually takes is much quicker! The hair feels soft and smooth, without being weighed down by a ton of product, while frizz has been banished but replaced with a natural looking shine. The Hairy Jayne floral hair perfume with heat protection is your multitasking product to guarantee you more good hair days, rather than bad! X Neil.
