BEST BEAUTY ADVICE

Look after your skin from a young age, cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night every day even when you don’t feel like it, plus drink plenty of water.

DESERT ISLAND PRODUCT

It’s tough to choose one, but I think I would go for our multi award winning Gardeners Life Hand Cream which is such a universal product, not just a hand cream, so soothing and nourishing, it can be used anywhere on the body, I call it our ‘do it all’ cream.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOUR BRAND?

Over the next year or so we intend to move to new premises to expand production. I’m working on some new formulations, keeping up to date with the ever evolving green beauty trends and new ethical ingredients.

TAKE ACTION AT HOME

• Streamline the amount of products you use, our shampoos can also be used as an all in one body wash, plus there is no need for conditioner, two less products required in the bathroom.

• Bamboo is one of the fastest growing sustainable alternatives to cotton and requires little to no pesticide during production. A Bamboo face cloth is ideal for acne-prone & sensitive skin types.Choose a bamboo toothbrush which is biodegradable and an alternative to plastic which ends up in landfill.

• The 3’Rs reduce, reuse, recycle is always great to keep in mind at all times to minimise the impact on the environment, saving energy and natural resources, helping to reduce pollution and reduces the need for landfill.
