We all love a bask in the sun from time to time — especially if it's on a warm beach or in your garden on a summer's day. But when you work outdoors, overly warm weather may not be ideal for your health or for the projects that you're working on.

Knowing how to protect yourself from sun damage is important at any time of year. Not only can too much time in the sun harm your eyesight and put you at risk of dehydration, but it can also cause severe health problems in the long term, like skin cancer and a suppressed immune system. Heat can affect your work area too, for example by...

'From Autumn to Winter'

As the temperature drops deeper into the season, all skin types need richer and more nourishing protection and hydration just like fashion turns to thicker clothing to warm up. Otherwise, tiny cracks can give way to visible lines that are not usually there. Dry skin due to cold or harsh weather can also cause irritation for sensitive individuals which is why its also a good idea to choose natural ingredients whenever possible. Many people will find they need to layer moisturising products over a hydrating serum to stay hydrated. Even oily skin needs hydration to stay balanced and to keep...

Back to school tips for teens

Back to school means getting into a routine so that your skin looks its best. Sure, it will take some work but you can't expect to eat junk and suddenly wake up to a ravishing complexion! Here are a few tips to keep in mind while you embark on your studies. 1.

Natural vs chemical products

Is your make-up or skincare toxic? Most people can't even pronounce some of the ingredients in their beauty, skincare or bath products – yet they continue to use them, unaware of the long-term repercussions on their health.

For many consumers, ignorance is bliss, but keeping educated on toxins and chemicals in products we ingest, rub into our skin or inhale might just prevent sickness and disease later on. Due to numerous sensitivities such as allergies and coeliac disease, many people are becoming more aware of the chemicals and toxicity of products on the market.
