It turns out beauty is more than skin deep: the average person slaps, lathers, rubs and sprays 10 different skincare products on his or her body every day--and since our skin acts more like a sponge than the impenetrable barrier we like to believe it...
The Moroccan steam bath, or Hammam, is a long-held pampering tradition that has tourists from all walks of life flocking to Morocco's seaside towns. And if you don't have the time or the budget to go jetting off to Marrakesh, you'll be pleased to know...
Nothing beats stepping out to the beach, braai or summer's night party feeling confident and gorgeous in your skin. And after a long winter spent in jerseys and jeans, you'll want to add a little summer glow to your limbs. Now we all know that getting a little sun can work wonders for wintery skin, but it's almost impossible to get the tan you want while staying safe in the sun. And while many people find tanning beds to be a summer colour "quick fix", sunbeds pose the same risks to your skin as unprotected sun exposure does.
Self-tanning lotions and oils on the other hand, are an excellent way to show your skin some TLC and enjoy a beautiful sun-kissed glow - without any exposure to UV rays. Until now however, most popular self-tan brands were loaded with harsh chemicals... that's why we're so excited to announcce the latest addition to our body care range. TanOrganic is the world's FIRST eco-certified self-tan brand, designed to make your summer beauty regime easier - and safer - than ever before.
We’re not saying that you don’t need to protect yourself from the sun – we believe you should be sun savvy. But we do want to be sure that you are informed about why a natural sunscreen is so important.
So let's start at the very beginning.
Whether it's the heart of winter or you're getting beach ready, treat your skin to something special - an all-natural toning and hydrating lotion that will smooth away unwanted wrinkles and dimples, leaving you with a smoother, softer and more supple skin you can't wait to show off. This body lotion is easy to make at home, and of course its free of harsh chemical additives, artificial colours and fake flowery fragrances. With shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax, this is just what every organic goddesses' skin craves!
Note that this recipe will give you a rich moisturising and toning lotion with a thick creamy texture. It will probably feel too "heavy" for daytime use, but it's perfect for the evenings when you've just stepped out of a bath or shower. Massage it into your skin before bed, so you can soak up all that goodness while you sleep!
