Sleep is for wimps – just get a good serum….

June 4, 2015 by loudartford

Well that’s what I’ve been telling myself…. One of the best things you can do for your skin is to sleep well every night. Easier said than done for many reasons for many people. So if you’re not getting enough regular shut eye, what is the next best thing? A good serum can help; it might not make you feel bright eyed and bushy tailed but it can certainly boost the glowing skin stakes. Serums are designed to be used […]

Trying to clean my kit up and show green beauty is cool, and that we don’t need harsh, unsustainable or untested chemicals to look good. No hemp skirts in sight!

Supporting all the youth who are striking today ✊ What kind of a planet are we leaving them. It really saddens and scares me as to what kind of a world my daughter will grow up in. We cannot leave it to the youth to sort this mess out, they need our help ✊ It doesn’t matter how small something may seem, anything you can do will help. It’s also about being positive though - together we can make a difference. Also no judgement or guilt, we can only do what is right for us and within our means. We can all do something though 💕 Happy Friday 💚 Fantastic bag by my lovely friend @elliegood_illo ✊ Great people to follow ✊@parentsforfuture_uk @fridaysforfuture @350org @gretathunberg @friends_earth @ukscn @mothersriseup @youthstrike4climate . . . . . . . . #climatestrike #climatecrisis #noplanetb #climatejustice #climatechange #climatejusticenow #environment #organic #greenliving #saveourplanet #motherearth #fridaysforfuture

It’s World Bee Day today (I’d forgotten but thank you Instagram for reminding me) This year World Bee Day will highlight that 17 species of bee have been lost from eastern England and 25 more are threatened in the area 😵 Hard times for the bees. I saw a post today of a bee and it said if we’re (the bees) going down, you’re (humans)coming with us.. a third of the world’s food production depends on bees, they’re vital for ecological balance, biodiversity in nature and they help reduce pollution 🐝 We need them 🐝 What can we do? Plant bee friendly plants, leave areas to go wild, don’t use pesticides!!! Don’t buy weed killer either - SO bad for all 🐝 We had a very dozy bee in our garden yesterday so we gave it a little sugary water - I always remember David Attenborough saying that. Also if one tries to land on you, don’t be scared - take it as a compliment as it may have mistaken you for a flower 🌸💕 Image from @soilassociation . . . . . #worldbeeday #bees #savethebees #saveourbees #savetheplanet #saveourplanet #environment #environmentalist #noplanetb #organic #nopesticides #organicgardening #organicskincare #organicfood #organicbeauty

#sundaynight skin 💕 it’s always nice to spend a little more time on your skin when you can to give it a treat. Whether it’s a gentle exfoliation, a brightening mask or a relaxing, getting the blood flowing massage 💕 the key thing is to listen to your skin - what does it need tonight? This is a shot of some of what I’m using/trying at the moment (some of it gifted) - I definitely don’t use it all in the same night - I feel that less is more so won’t overload my skin but do feel that it can need different things on different days - some days more calming for example or other days deeper cleansing. I have for sure found favourites along the way but I’ve also found it’s not one single product that is the miracle product - it’s a combination of using good products suited to your skin and listening to your skin but also simply taking the time to look after it and you 💕 Have you given your skin a treat tonight? 💕 Btw tonight my skin got a gentle @evolvebeautyuk chocolate mask and scrub while bathing my daughter - she always finds it hilarious and then a good massage with my guasha 💕 . . . . . #skin #skincare #sundayselfcare #skinroutine #shelfie #organicskin #organicskincare #greenskincare #cleanskincare #naturalskincare #greenbeauty #naturalbeauty #facemask #greenmakeupartist #mua #makeupartist #greenbeautyblogger

Thank you @matthewshave for reminding me of this shoot ❤️ Shot a fair few years ago when I was Beauty Editor of Six Magazine. Green beauty wasn’t as advanced as it is now but we still managed to create gorgeous images 💚❤️ Hair by @heathmassihair #makeupbyme @stellacreativeartists gorgeous face @jemjellies ✨ Happy Saturday! . . . . . . #beauty #makeup #eyeliner #redhair #redeyeshadow #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #sustainablebeauty #organicbeauty #makeupartist #greenmakeupartist #mua #beautyshoot #makeuplooks

Boys (and men) need skincare too 💚 this is a shot from a shoot with the wonderful @fredericaranda for @esquire_cn ✨ for @conor.given skin I used Weleda almond cleanser for a gentle cleanse, and then hydrated with @rosalenaskincare Beauty and the Beast Oil - I love this for guys as it doesn’t leave a shine on the skin. I used a tiny bit of concealer as and where needed and then a touch of lip balm. When choosing skincare for guys, think about their/your actual skin - what does it need? Don’t just head straight for the male specific products - often these might not be what you need. Sure men’s skin is a little different to women’s - lots more hair for starters, but also not one man will have the same skin so it doesn’t make sense for every man to use the same product. Dry, dehydrated or oily for example will benefit from something different. Check out all the skincare in the shop, not just the male section :) 💚 Hair by @lukelehmannhair Skin by me @stellacreativeartists Styling @gautierchen . . . . #skin #skincare #menskincare #maleskincare #skinroutine #skinregime #organicskincare #organicskin #cleanskincare #naturalskincare #organicskin #greenmakeupartist

Product shot from my new bathroom - well for the next couple of nights! 😆I’m away for work and after packing my kit, I almost forgot to bring stuff for me.. I grabbed these 3 from my (real) bathroom and I’m really liking the combination 💕 Love the texture of the @wearewildbeauty Harmony Bloom oil (old packaging here) and a couple of drops of the @bybibeauty Bakuchiol Booster supercharge it even more ✨I’ve been using the booster most nights for a couple of months maybe and I really love it. It’s definitely made a difference to my skin - it just looks better - fresher and smoother I would say. The @trilogyproductsuk Radiance serum I’ve been using for about a week and I really like the texture, it’s like a lightweight cream that goes over the oil and booster. I feel like it’s adding extra hydration and would be great coming into hotter days 🤞as it doesn’t feel oily or sticky.. have you tried any of them? . . . . . . . . #skin #skincare #organicskincare #naturalskincare #greenskincare #cleanskincare #beauty #greenbeauty #naturalbeauty #cleanbeauty #consciousbeauty #greenmakeupartist #greenbeautyblogger
