Cream Of The Crop

So many beauty brands, so many promises, so overwhelming! Blimey O'Reilly, how the hell do you choose what to slather your face in? Do you make like a label-whore and go with whichever big boy's got the lushest ad? Or do you do your zombie-shopper shuffle to the same old counter you've gravitated towards since1997? 

Sound familiar?

Well, if you're bored with the old routine but scared of dipping your toe into the unknown or un-hyped, play it safe with some beauty insider favourites.  Namely two straight-talking natural cosmeceuticals - Henry Tianus and Patyka.

These beauty experts are serious about skin. Rather than fussing over what 17 year old model's appearing in their latest ad, or spending a fortune on flash packaging but peanuts on cheap ingredients, all energies are focussed on creating the only thing we're truly looking for - super-effective, natural, organic beauty potions.

Delicious smelling Liquorice antioxidant face masks, thirst-quenching, moussey moisturizers and an award-winning anti-wrinkle 'youthful essence' are just some of the products we're in love with from Brit brand Henry Tianus.  And boy, do they work.

Meanwhile, Patyka with their slightly more polished presentation, are what the Parisian madams count on to keep them looking like, well, mademoiselles! The rejuvenating eye contour formulation contains light-reflecting pearls to lighten and brighten whilst a whole host of organic ingredients nourish delicate skin and treat puffiness.  And not to be underestimated is their 'miracle crème' which has a rather impressive talent for reducing wrinkles.

So, voila! Intelligent, hard-working beauty booty. Now, go forth and preen, prime and pamper that fabulously deserved skin of yours.

Good for you as Henry Tianus and Patyka are bursting with natural and organic ingredients (Patyka is certified organic by Ecocert) and both exclude non-beneficial ingredients like petrochemicals, PEGs, TEAs, DEAs, synthetic colour and fragrance, parabens and sulphates.

Good for the environment as both brands contain high percentages of organic ingredients, thus supporting non-agrochemical farming.
