Tips: How To Keep Skin Moisturised

Please raise your hand if you've ever felt that you need something extra that you can't get from your regular moisturiser.

Do you feel you need a more long term solution to keeping your skin moisturised throughout the day?

Here is some tips to help you get the best out of your moisturiser...


  • Apply your moisturiser to clean skin before you sleep, preferably after a bath/shower to give the cream time to work on your skin.
  • It's best to apply any moisturisers a little at a time - your skin can only absorb so much - you can always apply more if required.
  • Some moisturisers are multi-purpose...like our Vitamin Rich Body Cream...it will help heal chapped and dry skin, leaving your skin the way nature intended it to be.
  • As with all handmade creams, they only need to be applied in small doses.
  • If it's a gentle cream that you are needing, that can be applied throughout the day...our Moisturising Baby Cream is like this - remember a little at a time.
If you are unsure about which cream would be best for your skin, please feel free to either leave a comment or you can email or call (01343 880231) we would be more than happy to answer any of your questions. 

Our products are as natural as possible without any parabens, silicates, etc... and they are not tested on animals. Hope you have enjoyed reading this blog.

Vitamin Or Baby Cream?

Both our creams are great to help with healing dry, itchy or damaged skin and they also have their own unique quirks too.  


Our organic Moisturising Baby Cream is formulated to be extra mild and gentle as well as moisturising making it ideal for babies delicate skin,it also helps alleviate the itch that can be associated with problems like eczema and psoriasis.  

It is easily absorbed into the skin, soothes and cools with Aloe Vera, Lavender and Chamomile but it's also non-greasy with its Camellia Oil.  This cream can be applied as often as needed to the irritated parts throughout the day.


We've talked about our Vitamin Cream before in our blog here, this is an excellent cream for repairing damaged skin too ie chapped, broken skin that needs that extra bit of moisturising. Like all our creams this too is easily absorbed and non greasy where we only apply a little at a time.  

The Vitamin Cream is best applied at night and once in the morning.  As time goes on you will find that you may not need to use any for a while, as long as you keep lid on and store in a cool dark place this cream will last for 12-18 months.  With this cream being so rich, it isn't suitable for babies.

Allergies: Skincare That Is Wheat & Gluten Free

We've often been asked by our customers at venues about which of our products they can use given their specific allergies or skin problems...these skin allergies are increasing quite noticably!


In this post I'll be focussing on those who need a gluten free diet, as they need to know for their peace of mind which skincare they can use without triggering their allergy.  As gluten comes from certain cereal grain, such as wheat, barley, rye and oats.




We know how hard it is to find skincare that not only nourishes/moisturises but also to help protect too, especially when it is so easy to trigger allergies.  I have listed below our products that are free of gluten, with the unscented products highlighted for those with extra sensitive skin!

Soaps - 

Honey & Lemon Soap*
Myrrh Soap*
Patchouli & Lemongrass Soap*
Lavender Soap*
Frankincense Soap*
Goat's Milk Soap*
Begamot & Patchouli Soap*
Soothing Soap*
May Chang Clay Soap*

Skincare - 

Lavender Body Butter*
Tea Tree & Peppermint Body Butter*
Chamomile & Geranium Body Butter*
Unscented Body Butter*

Highland Midge Lotion
Mum & Baby Lotion*

All our facial masks, bath bombs, bath salts and body scrub are also gluten free.  Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about any other allergies that you have, and we will get back to you right away.

Always Keep An Eye On The Weather...

Trying to plan when to clean a gala tent, especially if we've been at a venue that had rain isn't easy...








When we started washing ours, it was sunny with a light wind and just a little cloud...we had just finished and started unloading our van when the heavens opened up!  Never mind, it's just typical Scottish weather...





Remember we'll be going to Loch Lomond Highland Games this Friday and Saturday!

Q & A - Younger Looking Skin

One of the frequently asked questions we have from our customers is:  

"What do you have to make me look younger?"

I do not beleive that there is such thing as an anti-aging product, however, there is a well known but not often used remedy for getting that younger looking skin without resorting to expensive treatments and products...

To get younger looking skin, you need to cleanse natural soap is best for this and kinder to your skin, then moisturise with body butters, creams and lotions every day.  You also have to detox using natural face masks and exfoliate using good quality bath salts or body scrubs to encourage new skin to grow (you only need to do this once a week).
