Kicking off the New Year with a product that’s natural, effective and affordable. Can you tell how pleased I am with myself?

This is the first product that I’ve tried from Living Nature and I’m really very impressed by it. The formula is absolutely packed full of moisturising ingredients such as Shea butter, Manuka Honey, Castor oil, Beeswax and Jojoba. The Manuka Honey is not only amazing at keeping moisture levels high, it has antiseptic properties so it’s great for really battered, sore lips. The balm is surprisingly light and has an orangey smell (the orange oil, one would guess!) which I find very pleasant.

Living Nature is a New Zealand skincare company who shun parabens and synthetic preservatives and I’m looking forward to trying out more of their products – I’ll keep you posted! Living Nature is available to buy at Apostle (apostleonline.co.uk), which is a very beautiful and luxurious-feeling online natural beauty store. More on Apostle later, too!
