The most important thing for an organic facial skin care regime is cleansing and moisturising. We recommend a cleansing milk like ours that can be removed with water, as these do not dry the skin. Apply the milk to the pads of the fingers on both hands and massage onto the face in upward and outward movements. This helps to loosen deep down dirt and does not cause damage. Then remove with moist luke warm cotton wool. Water acts the same as a toner to remove the last traces of cleanser and close pores.

Exfoliation can sometimes be harsh on skin. However, it is good to do a gentle exfoliation once a week to get rid of dullness and let nutrients better reach cells. Take a dab of organic face scrub (or a natural home made version) and gently massage it all over your face, neck and cleavage avoiding the eye area, then rinse thoroughly. Or you can use a cleansing milk and muslin cloth by applying a cleanser as above and removing with a luke warm cloth using gentle small circular movements.

When choosing skincare products we only advocate the use of natural and organic products like ours. This is because conventional skincare can contain harsh chemicals that aren’t kind to skin and can be absorbed into the bloodstream - which increases a person’s toxic burden. Organic skin care however, contains the minimum amount of synthetic ingredients to work in harmony with the skin. Finding an organic brand can be confusing, try to choose one certified by a leading authority like the Soil Association such as our Skin Blossom Organic Bloom range. As well as being natural and effective it is really affordable and everything costs around £5-6.00.

Moisturising will give your face much needed nutrients, protection and hydration. Don't overdo it on the amount of product you use as skin still needs to breathe and function. Avoid causing damage by using one that glides on easily like our Organic Bloom Nourishing Face Moisturiser. Dab small amounts over the face and neck before gently smoothing over skin.

Don't forget the eyes which are the most delicate and vulnerable area of the face and need tender care. Put a small amount of cream onto the ring fingers and rub the tips together. Then gentle dab around each eye following the brow bone around.

It's not just about organic facial skin care, as there are lots of things we can do that don't even involve using products. Even better they are 100% natural and free! Massage is great for our faces and can easily take a dull and tired complexion to one that is toned and full of life. Massage can stimulate and revive and relax skin - which is important for those of us that get lines from frowning and worrying. Another method is face execises which can really help to tone up areas of the face. We know it is not always easy to fit facial massage and facial exercise into your regime, but if you can it will pay off. Try incorporating it into your daily schedule, perhaps when you moisturise, or when you are in the bath.

Your skin regime is just one element in achieving beautiful skin as there are a whole range of lifestyle measures that can help. We all know the risks of sun damage and the need to protect skin, but it’s still important to be out in the open each day. Just a few minutes helps the body manufacture Vitamin D which is beneficial to skin. It’s also important to eat nutritional food, keep hydrated, exercise, get plenty of sleep and reduce stress.
