Winter Beauty Luxe List: Meet Your Skin Saviours!

As our glowing tans begin to fade, and we reach for our knitwear, it’s time to face the fact that summertime is well and truly over. Whilst we’re excited for the new season (hello favourite Starbucks winter drinks and Netflix marathons) we will miss that healthy glow we’ve managed to maintain for the past few months. Winter can be a harsh mistress on our skin. Cold temperatures and harsh winds do not bode well for healthy skin, and we can already feel our lips beginning to dry up. Lucky for us (and you!) we’ve found the perfect remedy.

Introducing Seaweed Limited, your new organic skincare destination! For quality skincare that’s not full of nasty chemicals and ingredients, Seaweed Limited have got you covered. Their range of handpicked beauty products are sure to leave your skin feeling hydrated and healthy through the winter months.

We were lucky enough to test a range of products here in the YCB office (all in the name of research!), and here’s how we got on…

The Organic Pharmacy Travel Kit

For girls on the go like us, travel kits are so so handy! These miniature products are perfect for taking on city breaks and long haul trips. Using the latest scientific research to restore radiance, these products are designed to leave your skin feeling glowing and youthful. We can do nothing but sing their praise! The Carrot Butter Cleanser is our absolute favourite and perfect for getting ride of our stubborn mascara. Whilst the Rose Rejuvenating Cream left our skin feeling silky smooth!

Ila Body Scrub

Be rid of dry skin with this nourishing body scrub. In the winter months our pins tend to take a bit of a hit, banish dry scaly skin and stimulate circulation with this must-have beauty product. It’s deeply moisturising and smells pretty great too! We won’t be braving winter without it.

Ila Spa Body Treats

This little set makes for the perfect gift for your BFF, mum or sister. Featuring a selection of beautiful products designed to give you an energy boost and silky soft skin. We love the body balm which left our body feeling nourished and healthy. Packed with natural goodness including Juniper Berry and Rose Geranium.

Ila Spa Body Oil

Designed for inner peace, this body oil works hard to balance dry, oily and irritated skin. As light as a feather, we adore this oil that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on our skin. The magic properties including Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine and Argan offer the perfect mix of ingredients to leave you feeling calm and at peace

Less is More Volume Collection

It’s not just our skin that needs taking care of over winter, our locks also need a little TLC! We’ve been trying out this kit from Less is More, and we’re oh so impressed. Our hair feels fuller with more body and we’re loving the results. The travel sizes bottles and mini hairbrush are not only cute but super handy for weekend getaways.

Wildheart Organics Happy Candle

For us, candles aren’t just a seasonal product, it could be July and we still want gorgeous candles burning in our apartment! We have to admit though, there’s nothing quite like a chilly winter evening snuggled in a blanket, with your favourite candles flickering on the coffee table. Make a night of it, and light your favourite organic candle whilst you enjoy a pamper session with your favourite skincare. This Wildheart Happy candle is truly beautiful, filling our homes with lovely notes of rose and geranium.

Londontown Nail Polish

Give your nails the good stuff! This range of nail polishes are created with enriching botanicals to deliver long-lasting hi-shine wear that hydrates and strengthens. For salon perfect nails look no further, we love the Star Moss shade – the perfect colour for autumn. All of these nail polishes are cruelty free and vegan friendly too, even better!

Wild Nutrition Supplements

Health starts from inside, and to ensure your hair, skin and nails are in tip-top condition this winter season, you should ensure you’re supplying your body with the vital vitamins and minerals it needs. The Wild Nutrition supplements have become part of our morning routine.

The Skin, Hair & Nails supplements do exactly what they say on the tin, supporting natural growth and your body’s daily function. The Hyaluronic Acid is used to retain water within the second layer of the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Wildheart Organics NYC Awaken Diffuser

This energy boosting blend is perfect to kickstart your day and make you feel reenergised. The clean, non-toxic formula will fill your lounge or bedroom with a zesty blend of lemongrass, spicy Indian patchouli and lime. Not only that, the stylish packaging looks pretty great on our bedside table!

We’ve definitely found our new favourite beauty and skincare destination! We’re so excited to follow the Seaweed Limited journey and enjoy their range extraordinary organic products. We’ve already got a wishlist as long as our arm, and we’re sure you will too!
