Picture this - it's a beautifully fresh and sunny Saturday morning, and you've just emerged from a dip in the ocean. You're feeling fabulous from head to toe - cleansed, refreshed and rejuvenated! We might think the sea's healing properties some simply from the joyful emotions we experience being out and about in nature, but in fact the answer runs a little deeper than that. When you take a swim in the ocean, you're immersing yourself in salt water, which offers an abundance of healing properties. Salt is naturally antibacterial and alkalising, and releases a negative electromagnetic charge that combats the positively-charged impurities we're exposed to on a daily basis. One of the purest forms of salt on earth (or rather, under it) is known as pink halite, or Himalayan crystal salt. As the name suggests, these pink salt crystals are found naturally deep within the Himalayan mountains, in pristine conditions that have kept them rich in trace minerals and free of contaminants. There are so many ways to benefit from Himalayan salt, so read on and learn more about the creative, innovative products in the Faithful to Nature selection.

Colour is a complex language in its own right, communicating with us on a visual, symbolic and cultural level. From the red and green of city traffic lights, to the rainbow plumage of a peacock’s tail, colour in the natural and man-made world is loaded with meaning. In fact, colour plays such a powerful role in our lives that concepts like colour psychology and colour therapy have become increasingly popular. Colour can have a big impact on your emotions and state of mind; this in turn affects your physical state and your overall wellbeing. That means that simply by surrounding yourself with particular colour on the spectrum, you can give your mood – and overall health – a real boost! Whether you’re decorating your home, beautifying your workspace or simply choosing what to wear, certain colour palettes can work wonders for the atmosphere you create. Let’s take a look at the secret language of the rainbow – what colours mean to us, and how to harness their positive effects.

Loving the skin you’re in is so easy when you give your body the right nutrition. Your skin is your body’s largest organ; it covers about 2 square meters (22 square feet) of space; it’s full of touch and pain receptors, a variety specialised cells and home to its very own microbiome of around 1000 bacteria species! Skin is super-special, and it’s so very important that you give it the care it needs. Skincare isn’t just about caring for the outside with cleansers, lotions and oils; it starts with feeding your skin from the inside out, by following the right sort of diet for your individual skin type. Faithful to Nature has put together a handy guide to help you eat right for your skin’s needs.
