INSIDER'S FAVOURITE NATURAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

I start the day with a facial wash (in the shower) using the AFRICAN BLACK SOAP. I find it very gentle & non-drying and I feel really refreshed afterwards. I apply my moisturiser, which is the FACE CREAM with Rosehip, Jojoba & Shea Butter. It was developed for me originally, so I am not parting with it. EVER! My skin feels smooth, soft & moisturised. Outbreaks?! Once in a blue moon... Absolutely perfect! And I find the chamomile, mandarin & geranium scent devine - perfect to start the day! In the evening, I only use the FACE TONER with Rose, Geranium & Chamomile Water. I don't wear any make up for sensitivity reasons, so the toner does a perfect job in removing impurities & refreshing my face. I apply a healthy dollop of ROSE EYE CREAM, then follow with a moisturiser, which is either the AFTERSHAVE BALM (please don't laugh, I don't shave my face, of course not, but it contains some great oils and does an excellent job in keeping my skin hydrated) or I sometimes make myself other creams (part of development, I guess) but the aftershave balm is the one I reach most often for.

Now that's a tricky thing to do, as it is difficult to pick. Hence a shower cubicle full of bottles to choose from, which my husband has to remove upon entering the shower as they usually end up on the floor. What is the matter with men! The bestest ever - AFRICAN BLACK SOAP (exotic scent) and the YLANG & ORANGE SHOWER GEL. Followed by VIRGIN COCONUT OIL or VIRGIN SHEA BUTTER all over & LAFE's ORGANIC DEO in FRESH. In my handbag, I always carry with me a little jar of the CARE JELLY - I use it for dry hands, dry lips, minor scrapes on the children & when I get a sore nose. I honestly, can't do without!

Well, I absolutely love EVERYTHING! My skin is oily & acne prone, so I love the ANTIBACTERIAL FOAMING WASH. I noticed a difference after just one application! It visibly cleared my face and even tightened pores! I use it first thing in the morning & just before I go to bed. Since I started using the facial wash, I have not been putting any make up because I am afraid it will undo the good the wash has done to my skin. I am already compiling my next order which will definitely include the FACE CREAM.

Because I didn't want to wear make up full of chemicals, I found the TANNING CREAM made my complection look very even, it looks like I have an invisible foundation! The tan looks a very natural shade, not 'orange' at all (been there before...). The cream is so moisturising and easy to to apply, and definitely doesn't make my skin shiny.

Emma is like her mum, she likes lotions & potions and she gets into mummy's cupboard, whenever she gets the chance, usually spotting the open door to the bathroom, like an eagle, within seconds! On numerous occasions, Emma has been found sticking her fingers in mummy's creams or giving herself a face & hair conditioning treatment with her bottom cream, with no ill effect, of course, as we are not talking chemicals here, are we?

Emma starts her day with a refreshing chamomily-rosy smelling FLOWER WASH , which not only smells nice, but it's excellent in removing overnight crusts around her nose. The odd dry patch of skin on her face gets a tiny amount of virgin shea butter.

Emma loves bubbles at night, but mummy is not allowing dreaded MATEY or other bath gels packed with nasties, so it is the CHAMOMILE & LAVENDER WASH & BATH GEL for gentle bubbles. There is usually a fight between Emma & brother Alex as to who will have to sponge to make the bubbles with the BLACK SOAP or the WASH GEL, so mummy orders 'taking turns' to restore the peace & quiet. When bathtime is over, here comes the lovely jar of BOTTOM DREAMS for some rash preventing bottom covering & a bit more on the dry patches on her arms.

The girls at Emma's nursery really enjoy using the VIRGIN SHEA BUTTER as a nappy balm, because 'it smells so lovely of chamomile' & of course prevents the nasty rash from appearing.

When I was born, my skin was very dry with a lot of flakiness on my face, hands and feet. The hospital told my Mummy she could use Olive Oil on me. It worked okay but my Mummy found the oil to be very heavy, greasy and slow to work on me. Then she began using Virgin Coconut Oil on me. It was much lighter and had a gorgeous smell. In no time, my skin was soft and flake-free. Because my skin is sensitive, Mummy could only bathe me in pure water at first because even a tiny squirt of popular baby bath products diluted in the bath water would make my skin react. Then she tried African Baby Hair and Body Wash. It makes a nice foam that Mummy likes and it is so gentle she can even apply it directly to my skin. Because I don't like having my face washed with water when I have a bath, Mummy has begun using the Baby Flower Wash on a cotton pad every morning. It gets my face squeaky clean with no scary flannel so I don't yell as much. After my face is clean, Mummy will moisturise it with either the Virgin Coconut Oil or the Care Jelly.

I have only had nappy rash one time when I was still in hospital. That happened because the midwives put a conventional white disposable nappy on me before we knew I had a sensitive bottom that prefers the unbleached eco-disposable nappies. Lucky for me, Mummy had packed Bottom Dream in her maternity bag. My rash was sorted right away and I haven't had any since because Mummy uses the gentle, all natural Bottom Dream all the time now instead of conventional zinc oxide creams.

Just like any woman, Tseta would like to look great for her age. She gives a good trial to nearly every product Rossi makes, but her favourites are the REPLENISHING FACE CREAM , the EYE CREAM and the FACE OIL roll on at night. She loves the way her skin feels & looks, she is convinced the natural skin care products are making her look much younger! Ooopps, we make no promises here!
