Five star reviews from me for products from the Naked Bodycare range - all paraben free and made with 97% natural ingredients. I especially like the Love Me Naked Rose Body Wash.  I've been obsessed ever since someone bought this for me as a present and intend to try out the rest of the range....  visit nakedbodycare.co.uk for more information.

 

 

 Keep a bottle of Bach's Rescue cream close to help soothe and restore tired and stressed hands. It contains a blend of Rescue Remedy which has therapeutic benefits and helps to heal rough and dry skin.  Non-greasy, fragrance-free, paraben free and not tested on animals.

News today that women look their oldest at 3.30pm  on a Wednesday! To comba those wrinkles try Neal Yard's White Tea Enriching Facial Mask.  This nurtures dry and sensitive skin, locks in moisture and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines. The white tea contains antioxidants and has anti-ageing properties. You leave it on your skin for ten minutes and then rinse and you're supposed to use it just once or twice a week. Best of all - paraben free and made with 95 per cent organic ingredients. Enjoy!

I've never used a primer before but it really makes a difference to your final look and helps keep your make up in place all day. Try Sephora's Silicone Free Foundation Primer, which is free of parabens and synthetic fragrances. It's particularly great for oily, sensitive or acne-prone skin.

For a high end concealer try Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage - £26 in House of Fraser. This conceals any discolorations of the skin, as well as imperfections and redness. It's oil free and the two-tone colours allow you to customise to your needs. It's suitable for all skin types - you're supposed to apply after foundation.

Desperate to banish bags and those under-eye wrinkles? Try Origins Plantscription anti-ageing eye treatment. It's a bit of a splurge at £36 but the little pot goes a long way and my eyes are looking better already. It contains Anogeissus which helps minimise crow's feet, crepey lids and sagginess around the eye area. Best of all, like all of the Origins range, its paraben free.

Mac's Pro Longwear Lipcreme is a longwear lipstick with a creamy finish. It doesn't need a top coat and still lasts up to 12 hours. It helps lips stay soft and hydrated and it's one of the Mac products that are actually free of parabens.
