Your skin's needs change as the seasons do; that means skincare products that work moisturising magic for you in the winter may leave you feeling greasy and clogged-up when the summer months begin. Flare-ups, breakouts and allergies are common with seasonal changes, but with the right organic goodies in your beauty regime, you'll soon be ready for whatever summer might bring your way. Here's a look at our top natural and organic seasonal skincare tips for a healthy, beautiful and confident summer.

A little bit of sunshine is good for the body and mind; but of course too much of a good thing will do more harm than good, so we need to be smart about sun safety and outdoors and choose natural sunscreens for healthy skin protection. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can wreak havoc on the skin, causing sunburns and premature ageing, and also increasing the risk of skin cancer. There is good news though; Mother Nature has given us a wide range of highly effective, all-natural sun protectants to keep our skin safe and healthy. Many of these plant oils and extracts are used as ingredients in our natural sunblocks; we highly recommend adding any of them to your skincare regime before (and during) the sunny summer months!

We’re so excited about the new arrivals in out online organic store; a luxurious gourmet vanilla product selection from Vanilla Man. The foodies among us really can’t wait to get into the kitchen and get creative with these vanilla beauties! So of course we thought we’d find a deliciously decadent vanilla recipe to share with all our Faithful fans as well. This gourmet creation is vegan-friendly and gluten-free; baker and blogger Sugar Mama has put together a divine recipe that can be used to make a vanilla cake, or a batch of cupcakes. Perfect for a spot of weekend baking!
