MYLA'S MOSS
WORDS MAISIE JANE DANIELS
I’d been hearing all the buzz about sea moss and its extensive list of benefits for skin and overall wellness, so when Myla's Moss came across my radar, I was eager to give it a try. I was, quite literally, straight in - both applying it to my face and adding it to herbal teas. Since it’s derived from the sea, it naturally has a... well, sea-like odour, which took a little getting used to on my face. But like with any unusual smell, I quickly adapted. I also made the rookie mistake of trying it raw, which wasn’t recommended by the brand. My curiosity got the better of me, but trust me, it’s not advisable.
I then started adding a couple of tablespoons to my morning herbal tea, and it blended in seamlessly- you can’t even taste it. Myla's Moss suggests mixing it into smoothies as well, which is another great option. This quickly became part of my daily routine: tea in the morning and a facial application in the evening.
As someone with both sensitive skin and a sensitive stomach, I could genuinely feel the difference, inside and out! The product needs to be kept in the fridge and consumed within three weeks. During this time, I noticed improvements in both my skin and digestive health. Now that I’ve got the hang of incorporating it into my diet and skincare routine, I’ll definitely be repurchasing.
Below are the health benefits that sea moss has to offer:
High in Dietary Fiber: Helps relieve constipation, improve heart health, regulate blood sugar levels, and lower cholesterol.

NATURTINT'S CURLY METHOD
WORDS RACHEL EDWARDS
Whether you have wavy hair, curly hair or afro hair, vegan haircare company Naturtint have concocted the perfect recipe and routine to have your curls curling again! Each product avoids parabens and is enriched with botanical ingredients like Amaranth Seed Extract and Hydrolised Quinoa (and if that's a mouthful, all you need to know is that this combination will hydrate, protect and repair your hair like nobody's business). At first, I was taken aback by the neutral smell of the products because I'm so used to perfumed shampoo that smells great but does absolutely nothing for the condition of your locks. The curl defining mask is particularly good, but in order to see the best results it's best to opt for the whole pack and to follow their guidelines for your hair type.
FOREO FAQ 202 LED FACE MASK
WORDS RACHEL EDWARDS
LED Face masks are all the rage, and once you get past feeling like you're in a Black Mirror episode or frightening unsuspecting housemates (which, let's face it, is quite fun anyway) you can continue with whatever you're doing around the house. You connect the mask to the FAQ app on your phone which then allows you to select a treatment. The light then changes colour, with each colour targeting different skin ageing issues. It's an expensive investment, and results don't show right away, but with studies backing it up as a great, safe anti-aging mask and with a growing cult following, this mask could easily replace your monthly facials.
