Green People Organic Skin and Age Defy.

Green People, if you haven’t heard of them before, are a company that specialise in organic skin and body care products. (No, they’re not a band of leprechauns!)  Their products are made as naturally as possible with no harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances.  I have been using their products for some time now and always find them to be very effective.

I’ve recently had the pleasure of trying out one of the new gift sets – ‘Organic Skin’, which contains a 50ml bottle of Vitamin Fix and a 50 ml bottle of Help at Hand.  Vitamin Fix is a rich moisturising face cream for all skin types.  It contains a mix of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants including Avocado Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Green Tea extract.  It is a light non-greasy moisturiser which applies smoothly and is quickly absorbed into the skin.  I have extremely sensitive skin and find it difficult to get a moisturiser which does not give me an attack of pimples. I am pleased to say that this fabulous cream not only leaves my skin pimple free but my face feels wonderfully soft and moisturised.

Help At Hand, as the name suggests, is a wonderful light non- greasy hand cream which contains a blend of beeswax, lavender and rose geranium.  As a busy mum, with 3 kids living on a farm, you can imagine how often I have to wash my hands. As a result, my skin becomes dry very quickly, especially as we live in a hard water area.  I am never without hand cream and have tried hundreds of different varieties.  I think I will be sticking with this one though, as the effects are lasting and my hands feel soft and moisturised throughout the day.  Other hand creams, I find, seem to wear off within a few minutes of application.

This is a great gift set, containing what I can say are 2 of the best skin care products I have ever tried.  It would make a lovely gift for mum, granny or anyone who deserves a special treat this Christmas.  RRP £25.90

Green People Age Defy Cleanse and Soothe Balm 50ml.

This caught my attention the minute I saw the name. As an ‘always on the go’ mum who spends a lot of time outdoors I could use a little help in fighting the ravages of time and motherhood!  This delightful balm is a super powered cleanser which comes with a complementary muslin cloth for easy application. It acts as an exfoliator as well as a cleanser.  How neat is that?  A blend of Perilla and Jojoba oil, known for their antioxidant and oil balancing properties, make this a cream to hang onto for life. The fabulous scent is attributed to a blend of Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine and Myrrh.  I found this balm to be amazing at removing all traces of make up with no scrubbing or rubbing involved and my skin was left feeling soft, supple and glowing.  Exactly the way you feel when you’ve had a facial spa treatment – without the time or expense! Age Defy Cleanse and Sooth Balm product contains 99.7% natural ingredients with no harsh petro chemicals or parabens so you can be sure your skin is getting a really natural treat.  I cannot write enough about how amazing this product is, you really need to try it for yourself.  It is available from Green Peoples website priced at £29.99. Spa treatment results at a fraction of the cost! Go on, treat yourself this Christmas.  The results are worth it!
