My Favourite Organic Skin Care Companies - Trevarno Organic Skin Care

Trevarno Organic Skin Care's aim and passion is to revive the art of mixing and blending plant oils, herbs and essential oils for their skin care qualities.

Trevarno Organic Skin Care does not use any synthetic ingredients or preservatives in their skin care products, instead they use the natural preservative properties found in many plant extracts. Even though this gives a shorter shelf life, they feel this is a fair exchange for a synthetic free and more natural product. All colouring within the Trevarno Skin Care preparations comes from the herbs that are used.

Trevarno Organic Skin Care is dedicated to using certified organic herbs, plant oils and essential oils whenever possible and each preparation is made by hand. Trevarno Skin Care is convinced that their ethos of only using pure plant extracts in all of their products offers a healthier natural alternative.

Organic Certification Trevarno Skin Care is proud to be the first and longest established organic skincare manufacturer certified by the Organic Farmers and Growers Association, which is one of Britain’s largest organic certification bodies approved by DEFRA to inspect a wide variety of organic operations in the UK. Formal certification guarantees that their organic products are always of the highest possible quality.

Home Spa Treatment - Salt Glow

Creating a spa in your own home is the perfect way to pamper yourself and escape the stresses of the day!
Salt Glow
For a deep cleanse this is the perfect treatment.

Fill a cup with coarse sea salt and moisten it until it forms a sticky paste.

Take a handful of the paste and massage into your skin using a circular motion. Start from your feet and work up your body, being careful to avoid delicate areas.

Rinse the salt off with warm water.

Avoid this treatment if you are diabetic and using insulin, if you have cardiovascular problems or skin irritations.
