Over the past year I've tried to use greener products. Products that are more natural and better for the skin and the environment at the same time. I've written about my "go green process" earlier here, here and here. I got great tips from you readers and this is were I am at the moment. These are the greener products that I really like at the moment:

Haircare products from John Masters.

Body lotion from Burt's Bee

Skin food from Weleda  ( I use this as a night cream, since I have quite dry skin)

Skincare from Origins

Hand cream and shower oil from L' occitane

I also use almond oil and jojoba oil on dry areas on my face or body I also use Orofluido hair elixir. (mixture of organic oils for hair)

Thank you for your tips about green products!!:)

PS! I'm not sponsored by any of these products.

A grey and rainy saturday morning.

I have been changing my skin care routine the last months. I've changed to greener products and I'm very pleased with the results so far. You can read about it here and here. Origins Modern Friction is a favorite. And I've tried jojoba oil for my skin and I like it! I know many use this instead of moisturizer, but I use it as a addition to my moisturizer. I have quite dry skin so I feel I need some more moisture. But the skin feels so smooth and nice when I use it. I've read that it is good for both oily, acne and dry skin and for psoriasis as well. I also use it on my daughter when she has red dry skin on her cheeks. It will be perfect for cold winter weather in Norway . I also read that you should be careful if you have nut allergies. Anyone who has some good or bad experience with jojoba oil?

I'm trying out some green brands for my skin. I especially like Aubrey Organics Sea Buckthorn serum, moisturizing mask and Lumessence eye creme. And other brands like Dr. Hauschka and Burt's Bees are also good. Nailpolish and remover (non-toxic) from Priti Nyc are great. They have many colors to choose from.

Aubrey Organics have their own site, but you can also order from iherb or ebay. I found out that the products I ordred was cheaper on iherb at the time. If you choose to order from iherb for the first time you can use my code: NEH819 and you will get 5$ off  on your order:) They also have many other nice stuff:)

take care

I'm not feeling good today. I'm at home drinking tea and taking care of my self. It helps to pamper myself..:) By the way, earlier I wrote about wanting to use more natural products for my skin. This Moisturizing Mask from Aubrey is great! I'm going to try more of their natural products. And the best of all is much cheaper than the brands I used to buy. (The nailpolish is not so natural yet, but I'm getting there...) Nothing is better than buying things that are better for my skin, the environment and my wallet as well:)  Have a wonderful weekend!

favorite products

Ok, so this is a really girly post:) I usually don't blog about cosmetics, so this is really an exception. I like make up and other cosmetics and I like to try new products, but these products have been my favorites for awhile now.  I'm the makeup-girl among my friends and they often ask me what I use so here it goes:) (I'm NOT sponsored by anyone by the way:)
