Natural Beauty Inside Out
I have heard so much about the goodness of manuka honey but I have never tried it on my face until last Friday, when I had the opportunity to be pampered with a unique facial involving manuka honey face mask at The World Of Organic Skincare. And the interesting experience has left me yearning for more manuka honey now! I swear I could almost taste the sweet honey in my mouth when the therapist was massaging it on my face using the rose quartz crystal wands!

If you’re into natural and organic products, you are probably aware that they do not use synthetic preservatives like parabens or urea-derivatives. So how do such products maintain their integrity to prevent microbial growth and spoilage?
Essential oils
Essential oils such as tea tree oils, ecalyptus, lavender, lemon, rosemary, sage, sandalwood are commonly used. Usually, they are used in conjunction with other natural preservatives because the percentage required to adequately protect a product from microbial growth generally exceeds the recommendations for safe amounts of essential oils to use in skin care products.

I love most of the products from Lavera and more so if I got them at a substantial discount! Like this Lavera Lip Balm in Soft Rose. I wouldn’t have gotten it at the original price which is slightly over S$12 but at only about S$4? Of course I had to grab one to try out!
