Natural Wisdom is a new and exciting boutique, organic skin care company with a very different attitude and practice to formulating skin care.
“We want to create the skincare you would love to design for yourself.”

What makes this company different to other skin care brands is the synergy they bring to the task of selecting nature’s premium active ingredients and then combining them, using a cold processing method of manufacture, which took them 4 years to perfect.This, and the welcome news that they don’t dilute their ingredients with cheaper, weaker fillers, shows that they are determined to create targeted skin nutrition. Marie points out, “It’s our ingredients that define us and our manufacturing process that sets us apart”.

Natural Wisdom was founded in 2007 by Maeve Smith, a Homeopath specialising in nutrition and Marie Crowe, who has a background in Nursing and Midwifery. Their recipes are born out of considerable study and research and from the desire to create the perfect skincare, that they would want to use for themselves. Maeve states  “We believe that good skin care is like good food. We don’t eat synthetic food so why should we use synthetic skin care?

When asked to sum up what it is that makes their skincare so different, they are both equally clear.

“Natural Wisdom organic skincare products are made from nature’s highest potency ingredients, no fillers, no nonsense. Cold processed and certified organic, the way you would want skincare to be made. Inspired by the natural wisdom of pure botanical energy. Hand made without compromise, by us, and because we believe that in the making of something new, we shouldn’t hurt something old, our products are all made with the lightest possible carbon footprint so everything, from our packaging to our bottles and labels can be recycled or reused”.They debut with their premium organic Rosehip & Pomegranate anti ageing collection. Six facial products priced from just £17 to £44 and available through their online shop. www.naturalwisdom.co.uk

Banish Dry Winter Skin with Skin Blossom

 “It’s that time of the year when we notice skin drying out – but just a little care restores soft, hydrated skin.”

 Cause of dry winter skin

Healthy skin is coated in a thin layer of natural lipids, or fatty substances.  They keep in moisture and leave skin soft and supple. Dry skin is caused when the fatty oils are stripped and skin is exposed.  During winter the low temperatures, low humidity and strong, harsh winds deplete skin of its natural lipid layer and dryness occurs.

Tips to banish dry winter skin

Moisturising is important for nutrients, hydration and protection, but does not get to the root cause. We need to care for skin properly and feed it from the inside. Follow our tips for soft, glowing, hydrated skin:

• Heating systems cause dry air so combat this with a good size bowl of water near the radiator.
• Exfoliate skin regularly but gently, to condition and remove dead cells. For the face try a cleansing milk like ours (£4.95/ 150ml) and muslin cloth – remove the milk with a luke warm cloth using small gentle circular movements. Treat your body to dry brushing with long sweeps towards the heart to exfoliate, detoxify and improve circulation.
• Use natural and organic moisturisers like our Skin Blossom Organic Bloom range as conventional skincare can contain harsh chemicals. Organic skincare however, works in harmony with the skin.
• Apply moisturisers morning and night. The best time is after a warm bath as damp skin traps moisture in and open pores encourage nutrient absorption. Our Moisturising Body Lotion (£5.75/ 200ml) is packed with organic plant oils to replenish.
• Faces are exposed more than any body part, so they need extra care. As well as nutrients and hydration, protection is key. Our Nourishing Face Moisturiser (£6.95/ 50ml) is perfect because the masses of Jojoba oil act like a liquid wax to sink in but protect from the wind, rain and pollution.
• Avoid irritating skin with simple changes such as using a non-bio detergent, and switching from a face wash to a milk. Our Gentle Cleansing Milk (£4.95/ 150ml) removes make-up and purifies without stripping, and our Cleanse and Nourish Body Wash (£4.75 200ml) has a delicate lather with orange to comfort and soothe.
• Apply hand cream during the day as constant hand washing strips moisture. Our Care & Protect hand cream is perfect. It’s packed with plant oils and Shea Butter for softness and protection (£5.25 60ml).
• For a nourishing overnight treatment on parched hands, feet and lips slather them in organic coconut oil at bed time.
• Feed skin from the inside by drinking lots of water and eating foods high in good fats like Salmon, Avocado and nuts.

We learnt about another convert to the amazing properties of the Dimpleskins Bum Bum Balm this afternoon.
 
“Bum balm is working a treat on our wee boys nappy rash”
 
This cool little tin of natural and organic baby skin care has been a core part of range for over 6 years and has more friends than the Globalkids team put together!
 
Bum Bum Balm is a  totally natural skin care product that really works. It’s hand made in Canada using only the finest natural and organic ingredients and we think it really is a nappy change essential.
 
Bum Bum Balm moisturises and soothes baby’s skin at every nappy change. It contains Herbal extracts of organic Calendula and Lavender essential oil which soothe any irritated skin while natural beeswax, Organic Jojoba, Cocoa butter and Vitamin E help to protect and moisturise. It’s also Zinc Oxide Free.
 
The best botty balm we’ve ever tried, and comes highly recommended….again

Makes an unusual baby gift and certainly creates a talking point.
