bitebeauty BLEMISH TONER This is a cleansing treatment for oily to problematic skin. Formulated to diminish the appearance of blemishes and impurities, the Blemish Toner has a gentle but potent astrin- gent action for troubled complexions. Tea Tree and Pepper- mint are available to deeply cleanse the pores, while Niacina- mide nourishes the skin, and Lavender Water helps to calm and soothe the skin. The Blemish Toner can be used daily or when needed. For blemishes, the toner can be applied with a cotton bud on the spot for immediate treatment and to re- duce the spread of bacteria. ANCIENT HEALING CLAY Bentonite Clay is well renowned for centuries as one of the best clays to purify the skin and absorb away impurities and blackheads. This results in the skin looking brighter, radiant, leaving pores looking refined and deeply cleansed. For me, this is a ritual that should not be rushed, but to enjoy it as a self-spa treatment at home. The clay is applied by mixing one part powder to three parts water; in my case, I used the Rosewater and Glycerin Facial Mist, to add extra radiance and rose scent to the mask. I found that using a cotton pad or a ceramic dish helped me to mix the mask better, creating a smooth mud to apply with the fingertips or a spatula for that extra beautician touch. Leave to dry, on cleansed skin, for 10 minutes, before remov- ing with water or sponges. The result is radiant, glowing and brighter skin, and as a bonus, a younger-looking complex- ion. I love this ritual routine because it makes me feel like I am taking care of myself, and it feels good. LAVENDER CASTOR OIL for BODY, HAIR & BROWS Repackaged with the new rose colour pattern, the clas- sic Lavender Castor Oil from Heritage Store is a product I cannot keep my hands off because it is so good. Formulated with Organic Castor Oil and Lavender Oil, it is an all-round skin and hair treatment for a variety of benefits. Applied on the scalp and eyebrows, as part of your night routine, it pro- motes hair regrowth and can be used on the lashes too, using a cotton bud on this delicate area. Massaging on the body with circular movements will help the oil nourish and balance the skin. Furthermore, when ap- plied using a warm flannel on the stomach area, it promotes a healthy gut. I love to massage this rich and thick oil on my cuticles, making my nails less brittle and much strong- er. I was very pleased with the generous bottle size which is one of their best oil products from the castor oil collection. The addition of lavender adds a delicate scent and soothing properties, making this beneficial oil another ‘must-have’ for me. Heritage Store beauty products are available online on their website and at Superdrug outlets nationwide. www.superdrug.co.uk https://heritagestore.com
