It’s hard to resist touching a soft healthy skin. Feeling someone’s face, caressing one’s arms and a feeling their skin is a nice feeling as you can feel the softness that touches your body. Having a good skin also shows how you take care of yourself.

There’s tried-and-true ways to care for your skin, from the right way to cleanse your face, to the best moisturizers and creams. Cleanse, tone & moisturize – naturally! Nature’s Parlour has a large range of everything facial, there is no reason for your skin to settle for anything other than the best natural, organic or handmade skincare products.

This is one of the Parlour’s most popular products and it’s easy to see why. It has a wonderful aroma, lathers very well and offers a luxurious bathing experience. The jojoba beads are small and soft, so are gentle enough to be used on the daily on the face as well as the rest of the body.

It is an exemplary cleanser and I find it’s one of the best make-up removers on the market. It leaves the skin cleansed but not dry or taut.

A firm family favourite, it’s wonderful for problem skin – eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc. It can be used as a shampoo and due to it’s moisturising properties would be particularly suitable for afro hair but is not recommended for locs due to the presence of the jojoba beads which could be very difficult to remove from locked hair.

Shea moisture’s liquid black soap is available from the bath & body section of the Parlour

I had a lovely anniversary weekend with my DH which included taking in a great Jill Scott show and a hotel stay in the country. It was a great time, dogged by one thing – spots!

I have no idea why they suddenly decided to descend upon my face but they were looking like great beacons. I felt like a teenager again, which in this case wasn’t such a nice feeling

My husband had brought some zeoderm+ cream, by Salcura along just in case he got razor rash on his face. Unfortunately his skin did become irritated. He has sensitive skin and has to be careful when shaving. He applied some cream to his face, and, after cleansing and toning I decided to apply a generous amount of zeoderm+ to my face too.

This morning when I woke up, my spots had all dried up! I was really pleased The skin on my husband’s face had also gone back to looking clean shaven, not angry and irritated.

Zeoderm+ really is great stuff. It’s a unique blend of nano-minerals and vital nutrients, suitable for adults and children who may be prone to dry or irritated skin symptoms like acne, wounds, burns, bites, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and skin allergies. It’s quickly absorbed, non sticky and penetrates deep down for maximum moisturisation.

One of the main, active ingredients in Zeoderm+ are natural minerals in a nano form. Zeomaz, (the most notable of the nano-minerals) has been classified as a Medical Product Class 1 in Germany for skin and wound care.
