Super soft lips and immaculate skin..

Green People offer a fabulous range of organic skincare and since having my children my skin has changed dramatically, not only is it older but it is also more sensitive! Buying skincare has become a bit of a nightmare as I often find I end up with rosy red cheeks and generally fairly uncomfortable skin.

My handbag beauty essential over the winter months is a good lip balm, I like to feel my lips are well protected and so tend to go for products which are quite heavy, this isn’t always a good thing and can further aggravate my skin! Green People’s  ‘No scent soft lips‘  is natural lip balm, providing all the protection without the need for nasties! I was warned that a little of this goes a long way, and it really does! It absorbs fairly quickly and easily into your lips, there is no scent or colour so Mr G could use it too (if I would let him!). My lips are noticeably softer since using this and I don’t feel I need to reapply it constantly!

I’m quite blessed with nice skin, rarely suffering from spots, but when I get them I want them gone!!
 Blemish Banish is designed to cover and treat spots, it contains tea tree, green tea and pineapple as active ingredients. It doesn’t just mask the spot, it deals with it, getting rid of it and leaving no trace, you can feel it working and the hint of colour to reduce the appearance of redness is nice too. What’s not to like? I really wanted to love this, but..I have to confess I didn’t get on with it, i found it made my spot(s) angrier although when they went the skin was very clear.

Vita Min Fix this is an amazing 24hour organic moisturiser by Green People, initially I wasn’t sure I would like it as it didn’t have the allure of a fancy jar and thick double cream texture. However my skin told a different story which quickly altered my opinion! A couple of hours after the first application you could see my skin already looked brighter, I used it as a night cream too and in the morning was delighted that my skin looked really refreshed (ignoring the dark circles under my eyes which go along with parenthood of course!). I really should have taken a before and after photo, I don’t believe in miracle creams, but my skin loved this and it’s definitely going on my Christmas list!
