To finish your make up, try Laura Mercier's Secret Finish. It's a lightweight gel to put over your foundation - ideal for oily skin. It absorbs excess oil and gives you a nice matte finish. It's translucent, paraben-free, fragrance free and oil-free, so a brilliant choice for break-out prone skin. I'm going to be adding it to my make-up routine!

Most  acne products are really hard on the skin but Oxy's Seaweed  Power Fresh Skinwash is suitable for more sensitive skin types. It's paraben, alcohol and SLS free - and even more important, it really works. I'm very prone to break outs but this has really helped to reduce spots. My skin looks clear and even and when I did have a spot, I used the emergency spot treatment gel from the same range, which worked to reduce redness in a matter of hours. It's now a must-have for me.

Today I'd like to recommend the Clinique Exfoliating Facial Scrub. It's extremely concentrated and paste-like, not like other scrubs that mainly consist of liquid and a few scrub beads. Makes skin feel extremely fresh, clean and free of all dirt and blackheads. Best of all it's paraben free!

Eyes are sensitive, so it's great to choose a paraben free and hypoallergenic eye liner.  Try the Autograph Soft Kohl eyeliner at M&S. It's only £6 and comes in four colours, black, brown, charcoal and dark blue. Lots of pencils I've used tend to smudge and disappear - even from top end brands, but this is the best. I use an eye primer and it stays in place all day.

 

 

If you're looking for a paraben free hair range you can find in a supermarket then look no further than the Sainsbury's Happy Hair Days range. The intensive mask is currently on offer for only £3.32. The normal retail price is £4.99. It's a gentle, intensive conditioning mask without parabens. Coconut oil, pear extract and a proven vegetable protein nourish and soften hair from roots to ends without weighing it down, whilst the coconut and marshmallow aroma smells devine.

Many deodorants contain paraben preservatives which have been linked to breast cancer. Organic deodorants don't contain parabens. Try Green People Aloe Vera Organic Deodorant. It's £7.95 but as well as being chemical free, it is also fragranced using essential oils which can benefit the skin rather than synthetic ingredients which can irritate. Modern antiperspirants suppress the body’s vital function of perspiration, by blocking pores with aluminium salts such as aluminium chlorohydrate. This one does not.

Here's one for the mums to be amongst you. Katharine Botanicals Stretch Mark cream is hypo-allergenic and helps your skin retain moisture during pregnancy. It provides seaweed collagen and helps to alleviate any tissue damage or scarring. It also contains Calendula, an antioxidant and antiflammatory so it will help detoxify your body and smooth any irritated skin. They also do a nipple cream which can help with cracking.
