In preparation for the spectacularly gorgeous summer we are going to have (fingers and toes crossed) I have starting prepping my skin to make the most of the sun's rays when they appear.The Golden Rules are:1 Exfoliate to make sure that your skin is smooth as dry skin can often lead to peeling, and an uneven tan.PRIMAVERA®'s Organic Juniper Berry & Cypress Body Scrub smells divine and contains natural and organic ingredients like jojoba ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=104I have always been a fan of aromatherapy, enjoying making up my own mixes, so discovering that Primavera have their own special organic blends in handy handbag sized Aroma Roll-Ons  was a joy!   Personal organic aromatherapy that is always accessible is definitely a selling point with me.I discovered that the PRIMAVERA® Aroma Roll On formulas are based on floral and plant waters and contain pure essential oils that treat you to a moment of wellness anywhere, anytime.The roller ball applicator means a quick, no-spill way to apply - Simply roll on the neck, brow, and temples as needed and breathe ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=97Sometimes our skin needs an extra boost especially at the end of winter - Seed oils deliver that boost, encompass the very essence of life and are exceptionally rich in vital nutrients making them ideal for individualised face care.Primavera's Organic Seed Oils are produced using a gentle method of cold pressing which preserves high levels of poly unsaturated fatty acids and other goodies which means they can restore moisture to the skin without leaving a sticky residue.Here's my favourite winter skin treats:Argan oil - Rich in vitamin E which helps fight against free radicals, helps to promote cell renewal, effective ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=86Organic Cold CareWe've all got the sniffles in our household, of course some people are suffering more than others! The rest of us just have to carry on as normal. A few months ago I probably would have reached for painkillers, or paid a visit to the chemist to procure a box of 'cold relief sachets, ' but I started to worry about the effects they were having on me and my family. The last thing you want to when your child is ill is to fill them up with chemicals, masking any symptoms they may have.I decided to use ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=77Argan Seed Oil Argan oil (a seed oil) is big beauty news at the moment with many magazine articles proclaiming its enhanced effects on the skin. As I'm not getting any younger and my skin can be quite dull first thing in the morning I thought I would try organic Argan oil as it's rumoured to have a rejuvenating effect as well as smoothing, calming and firming more mature skin.I'm only interested in using the very best organic products, so I tried Primavera Organic Argan Oil -their Seed oils only contain the pure essence of plants and the primavera method of ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=74Beauty SleepWe all need our beauty sleep, our 8 hours every night, the better we sleep, the better we look and the better we feel. I do hate those nights when I just cannot get to sleep, I lie awake for ages tossing and turning, wondering why I cannot sleep, or I fall asleep and then wake and can't get back to sleep. After about an hour of tossing and turning I have had enough and have to turn to my good old faithful product that I keep by my bedside - Primavera Sleep Therapy Balm, I don't know why ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=71Apparently, using seed oils is the way to go for the ultra in skin nourishment. Because their make up is so similar to that of our own skin, it is easier for the skin to process the beneficial qualities more quickly, ergo it gets to work straight away, providing a more intensive treatment (get me sounding all science-y!).I've tried the Bronzing Seed Oil Capsules, so I don't need persuading about the benefits of including seed oil in my skin care routine. But what seed oil to choose for a night-time treat, when nourishing and replenishing your tired face is the ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=66Easter is nearly here, and it is time to treat yourself.

Where to start? Well, how about the Moisturizing Bronzing Seed Oil Capsules, they're even listed under the heading 'Treat' in the brochure I'm looking at right now.

I admit, I've been distracted by the integrity and pure quality of the fabulously effective 100% natural skincare, and gorgeous aroma's of Primavera, and had temporarily over-looked where it all began.During the expo meeting, the lovely Melanie from Marketing gave a presentation about a new room fragrance / air spray that is coming soon. We all closed our eyes, and had to imagine ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=42I've always been quite sceptical about putting oil on my face - when you're used to creams, an oil seems abit too adventurous. But after the cold winter, my skin felt like it needed that extra dose of moisture, as dry, red skin wasn't a good look for the new year! So, after reading many many articles on the benefits of argan oil I thought it was time to be a daredevil and buy an oil for my face. So, before I start, my vision of putting an oil on your face meant that you would end up with a ...http://www.pravera.co.uk/default.asp?PageId=768&PostId=36With Spring supposedly just around the corner and that it is International Fitness Week why not go along to the next Zumba class that is going on no more than a few paces away from you!I have been going to Zumba, which is a combination of Latin dance and aerobics, for about 8 weeks now.
