Healing Wounds...naturally

We all love to show off a good battle wound. Stretch marks are one of those things you are either lucky enough to not have suffered, or unlucky to get everyone elses dose, and then some!
Knowing that early stages to heal these scars and stretch marks is the key. Once they have gone silvery and back to normal skin colour the healing is set and you really are very limited to what you can do.

Knowing that you can help this healing process with everyday ingredients has got to be a big plus right?  No massive outlay of buying all these so called "magic" potions and lotions.
Here is how to help rid scar tissue and stretch marks with natural remedies which will visibly improve their appearance over time.

Coconut oil:

The fatty acids in coconut oil work like antioxidants preventing and reversing free radical damage on the skin.

Apply over damaged skin area on a daily basis until you achieve desired results.







Carrot Juice:

Rich in minerals and vitamin C this ingredient works wonderfully at cleansing and beautifying the skin. 

Mix the carrot juice with 1tsp of sea salt and massage into a paste onto scars in a circular motion. leave to dry then rinse with warm water.






Aloe Vera:

This is probably the one that most of us have heard of for healing and soothing. This ingredient works brilliantly at regenerating skin tissue, fights inflammation and provides a soothing calming action.

Cut a leaf off the plant and slice it length-ways to expose the aloe sap and apply directly to the skin.



Vitamin E:


This helps to stimulate the formulation of collagen and improves the skins texture and strength.

Open a vitamin E capsule and use directly onto scars. make sure the scar has been healed as vitamin E can interfere with the healing process.



Hazelnut Oil:


Hazelnut oil nourishes and hydrates the skin. Aids with cell regeneration and acts as an astringent. Plus diminishing redness.

Apply directly onto damaged skin and apply daily as required.






Bentonite Clay:


This clay pulls toxins out of pores and helps heal the skin, plus reduces redness.

Apply into a paste of clay and water onto the skin. leave to dry and feel tight, rinse with warm water. Repeat as needed.






Simple easy ingredients that have some great properties. Enjoy making your own medical labs.....these are wonderful products to use even without damaged skins, just as a means of prevention rather than cure.
Happy mixing!
Till next time                                 
Love & sparkle

Fake Tanning: Manual V Spray

Firstly, just to clarify the differences between the two types of fake tanning. Manual tanning is applied directly onto and into the skin that has been prepared usually in a cream or lotion format and then is allowed to develop.Spray tan is applied using a compressor type air gun and is applied in a very fine mist in a liquid format and sits onto the skin until it soaks in and then develops. Manual tanning has made a big come from in recent times. Whilst previously it was all about spray tanning treatments for numerous reasons: quickness of the treatment, even application and less product generally used. But with clients wanting  to come to the salon, or treatment area and enjoy a full treatment that involves them giving up an hour or so of their time. This has really helped the manual tan application see a big come back hit! From my experience of learning many moons ago the application of manual tanning before spray tan was even out there....I know myself, I wasn't too kee

6 Shocking Soy Wax Candle Benefits

Candles for me mean so much more than a light source. I love nothing more than a snuggle on the sofa, candle light to create that cozy ambience. It creates calm, lovely soft lighting alongside wonderful fragrances that can take you right back to that special time or place. They can mean romance, they can mean sorrow and joy. I light a candle in remembrance to my loved ones. We light candles to celebrate birthdays and special occasions by placing them on top of the cake. The burning question I often get asked why I chose soy wax for my artisan candles? I get comments that soy is more expensive than say cheaper options such as paraffin wax for example? Well, the simple answer is if you dig a little deeper you will see that the savings come at a higher cost in the end. In simple terms, soy wax is better. Better for the environment, better for the home, better for our families and it creates a better perfomring product in my opinion. Which is so important for me when I am creatin

Failing to prepare, is to preparing to fail: GCSE VTCT Ten Recommendations

I wanted to put together a guidance list of the ten points that I have learnt along my journey teaching this GCSE qualification in order to help support, guide and assist anyone who is about to start teaching this qualification, considering teaching it, or is currently teaching it and needing some additional guidance from someone who has hands on experience. These are my own personal points and by no means set in stone. So please use them as they were intended to be, as a help list. PREPARE: Now I know this might sound a bit of an obvious point as teachers and educators we are always having to think two steps ahead. But by this I mean have your unit scenarios printed for each learner. Have spaces up on your displays so they can collect them if they have lost theirs (students do love to forget things). Have grade descriptors for the unit printed and if they have them glue them into their books so you can mark as you go along and the students know instantly what grade they are
