KORA ORGANICS TINTED DAY CREAM IS BEAUTIFUL ON THE SKIN AND REPLACES FOUNDATION

I'm currently using the Tinted Day Cream from the kora organics range.This range has been beckoning me ever since it came onto the market.Well,its beautiful.Well worth the money(these products are pricey).Its just beautiful on the skin,delivers all of the goods that it claims on the packaging-and there are a lot of goods.(read certified organic ingredients good enough to eat!).
It contains a plethora of beautiful oils such as macadamia,olive,lavender,chamomille,rose and others,it also contains green tea,olive leaf extract,aloe vera and the special noni fruit extract that is in the whole Kora range.It contains Zinc oxide as the sunscreen,which is a real bonus as this can be worn to the beach for us fair skinned lasses.The colour would suit all skin tones and when I first used it I looked suntanned and that day I got compliments about my skin!
You only need to use a small amount-a little bit seems to go a long way as I discovered.Normally im heavy handed with moisturisers but with this I realised i'd be wasting it.
It is recommended on the packaging that you apply it over other moisturiser, which is a great idea as the skin will be extra hydrated and you wont need foundation-this replaces it.
Anyway I love,love,love this product so I thought i'd pass it on.

ACNE:INFORMATION,ADVICE,TIPS

Acne is a chronic infammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands,which can occur at any age.Internally the hormones play a major role- imbalances of the hormones can trigger acne.Other causes of acne are poor diet,stress,personal hygeine,incorrect skin care products/usage etc.
Acne is characterised by:
Thick skin,shiny,open pores
blackheads,whiteheads
blind pimples,pustules,sebaceous cysts
red or purplish nodules
scars,pigmentation
sensitivity



 Adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle which includes but is not limited to:
                                       
Drink lots of purified water
Make fruit, vegetables,nuts and fibre the mainstay of your diet
Limit dairy and red meat, and eliminate white flour,sugar and anything made with them.Also eliminate other highly refined 'dead food' and 'bad fats'from the diet.
Include "good fats'-the omega 3 fatty acids from fish oils or evening primrose oil.
Drink freshly squeezed lemon juice in warm water every morning
Taking a good quality supplement that includes echinacea,zinc,vitamin C and the B vitamins can be beneficial
Gently cleanse skin 2xdaily with suitable products such as a good quality goatsmilk soap,a teatree oil soap or wash OR an anti-bacterial soap can be very helpful such as sebamed medicated soap
Use lavender essential oil-dab directly onto pimples,blackheads,scar tissue
Tea-tree essential oil can be used on pimples using a cotton bud
Geranium e/o is also excellent as it is a hormonal balancer and assists circulation.All of the oils have antibacterial properties.Geranium can be mixed into a moisturiser OR you can make a nourishing,healing oil by adding 3 drops of lavender and 3 drops of geranium to 25ml of apricot kernel oil
Keep skin clean but you can only do what you can-don't obsess.
Minimise stress-find ways to relax mind and body,such as yoga and meditation
Change your pillow case every day(really important)

BOOK REVIEW-AMAZING FACE BY ZOE FOSTER

Amazing Face is fantastic 'go-to' book,with tips and latest information on a range of products for face, body,hair and nails.It's also really funny as the author Zoe Foster has a great(if not bizarre)sense of humour.
The book gives product recommendations and step by step guides to doing your hair and makeup.The makeup tips are fantastic as to be expected from a former magazine beauty director.
Other topics include: How to still look good when you feel like shit (her words) and, How to do your face when your hungover.
I highly recommend it as a great source of beauty info and a laugh.

Happy Reading,love f
