I feel like we’re making skin care into something that’s way more complicated than it should be.
Over the past 12 months I’ve felt a strong pull towards nature which has opened my eyes to the healing properties of plants and raw natural resources that can be sourced in our own gardens, nursery, kitchen or health stores. And using these organic resources to make very simple, inexpensive and luscious skin care is a beautiful way to work with our skins natural process instead of trying to fight against it …
Am I talking weird stuff? You might need to watch the video to understand what I’m talking about!
I’ve been very excited to show you my spiral garden that Brendan and Suki from ROAR food built for me.
I’ve always wanted a vegetable garden so when I moved into this beautiful house with it’s massive garden, finally I could build my very own veggie patch. The spiral is just the start, soon I’ll have a heap of fresh produce growing …first I just have to figure out how to do it.
Wondering what all of this has to do with skin care? Check out the video-
I get asked almost daily about the correct way to order skin care products, and how often to use a mask and exfoliant. To be honest I have difficulty answering this question because I personally don’t think there’s an exact formula that you need to follow. Instead, follow your intuition and learn to “listen” to your skin and come up with your own routine that fits best with you. And most importantly, keep it simple!
This video may create a bit of a discussion, and it already has in YouTube because a lot of you may disagree with me. And that’s okay, that’s what my blog is all about - I’m not always right! I can only give you what my personal experiences have been and what I’ve researched so I love it when other personal experiences come through in the comments.
I’ve never had any luck with using bar soap on my face, no matter what brand it is and how natural it is. There’s something about what they use to make it into a bar that strips the natural oils off my face and leaves it dry. I’m happy to be proved wrong though, I’d love to try something that actually doesn’t do that. Although to be honest, I’d prefer to find a natural cleanser in a bottle, simply because it’s easier to travel with and carry around.

I was in Biome in Brisbane the other day buying a friend a birthday present, and accidentally on purpose bought an exfoliant for myself. I couldn’t help it, this exfoliant looked amazing.
But unfortunately the ingredients read better than the actual experience of the product. I may as well have been exfoliating my skin with a handful of oatmeal, because that’s what it smelt and felt like. But at least it got me thinking. It made me realize how body exfoliants are probably the easiest skin care products to make at home yourself.
Check out my video review of the exfoliant, plus I give away a little more info on what makes a good body exfoliant-
I haven’t completely written off this product. I think it’s actually quite good as a facial exfoliant. I checked their website and this product actually IS a facial exfoliant, so I have no idea how I got that wrong. I guess body exfoliants usually come in these large jars so I got a little confused. I still however feel that it is a little too oatmeal heavy so there are other better facial exfoliants out there.
