ORGANIC PURIFYING CLEANSER BY DR ALKAITIS £35.25
Mix with water and lather over face (avoid eye area) to cleanse twice a day. This new brand from a specialist firm is quickly getting a cult following thanks to it helping even the most sensitive skins.
USIKU ORGANIC BODY OIL BY JO WOOD ORGANICS £35
Great for repairing the skin thanks to arnica and echinacea. The warming scent – combining rosemary and cardamom – is unisex.
ORGANIC LIP BALM BY BAMFORD ORGANIC £12 Delicately scented with pink grapefruit, peppermint and rose; all 100% organic. The arnica helps repair chapped lips.
ORGANIC DEODORANT BY ERBAVIVA £12
The jasmine and grapefruit-scented spray from this American brand is a lighter product than you’d expect from more heavy chemical versions.
HONEY MOMENTS BODY LOTION BY LAVERA £7.25
With organic milk and organic honey making it smell like a wholesome dessert, this German brand wins top marks for its competitive pricing.
ORANGE FLOWER FACIAL OIL BY NEAL’S YARD £20
Although it’s best for dehydrated skin, even those of us with normal skin using it for anti-ageing purposes won’t find it greasy.
ORGANIC DAILY FACE OIL BY INLIGHT ORGANIC £22
So gentle it can even be applied around the eye area. Just use a couple of drops as it’s easily absorbed.
CARROT BUTTER CLEANSER BY THE ORGANIC PHARMACY £29.95
Serious about your skin? Then prepare to invest in the five-minute ritual of massaging this balm into dry skin, watching it dissolve grime and make-up (even stubborn waterproof eye makeup), then using a muslin cloth pressed over face to wipe away.
