Be green with your beauty routine!

Beauty expert, Laura Bermingham, was in studio today to tell us that we don’t need to use chemical products when there’s plenty of great active ingredients from Mother Nature!

BODY BEAUTIFUL!

The Body Shop “Shea Body Butter” €15.95 for 200mls, stores nationwide.

Shea Butter is a great, natural ingredient if you want to treat your
skin to non-stop moisturisation with a rich, intensive cream featuring
the clean scent of shea, and so it works best on very dry skin
Shea butter has antioxidant vitamins A and E to help protect and
nourish skin and cocoa butter is an excellent moisturizer that melts
at body temperature, leaving skin soft and silky smooth.
To release the force of the Love Etc fragrance collection The Body
Shop is hosting the ultimate ‘photo booth’ competition today in the
