Green make up tips

I came across sweet almond oil when a friend of mine put together a hamper of organic skin products straight from the health shop .  To be honest I was dubious, as I think when it comes to skincare, you get what you pay for.

However the claim that it doubles up as a moisturiser and a makeup remover won be over (convenience is also very high on my list of priorities). The fact that I happened to tune in to one of those UK makeover shows when the make-up artist announced that almond oil is her one can’t do without make-up bag staple also helped.

After 3 weeks of trying it diligently, I can report that I am totally converted.  It balances the skin well and keeps the skin hydrated all day long.   I also use this under my eyes and it works well on those fine lines. It doesn’t irritate my eyes at all and I hear it’s also great for dark circles under the eyes.

And while I am on the subject of green make up, I have also converted to muslin cloths  for removing make-up and cleansing.  Check out Liz Earle pure muslin cloths – they are absolutely brilliant at cleaning the uppermost levels of dead skin cells to leave your skin immediately looking cleaner, healthier and fresher.

They can be washed time and time again and offer a fantastic green alternative to cotton wool.
