Aging Gracefully With Dry Skin

Aging Gracefully With Dry Skin

Aug 29, 2023Lisa Shelley
As a new feature on the blog we’ve invited our staff to share some of their favourite products from the Neal’s Yard Remedies collection!  While the responses have been a delight, what stands out most is an obvious passion and depth of appreciation for much more than what is inside each bottle.

As our own best customers, the journey from the soil to skin is what sets our products apart.

We are our very own love affair….

There is a reverence and a reason for everything brought to market. 

At Neal's Yard Remedies we respect the Earth, regeneration, pure formulation, and classic organic beauty beyond the buzzword that that can be.

We are your modern day apothecary;

Where flowers are picked when the sun sits highest, and bees are worshipped, and fields kept clean. 

We believe in sustainability, dependability, and elevate the concept of natural beauty by exceeding industry standards, while we work with nature rather than against it. In the absence of synthetics, herbicides, genetic modifications, and fertilizers, we propel biodiversity and the far-reaching benefits of our health, wellbeing, animals, wildlife, climate, people and planet.

Today on the blog we are featuring Kim Donovan, our formidable Toronto-based Account Manager

Magic Behind the Mirror, featuring Kim

Kim has classically dry skin, with a side of sensitivity, so she seeks out products that are deeply nourishing, and support optimal lipid retention.  She also aims for gentle and calming ingredients, which soothe her complexion, leaving her face and body feeling refreshed, vibrant, and clean.

Kim is a glutton for the sensorial aspect of skincare and has chosen the following favourites with luxury and improvement in mind.

Calendula Cleanser

A mild cleansing cream used daily to gently wash away makeup and impurities.  Our blend of organic calendula and jojoba enriched with natural skin-conditioning botanical oils, are best known to soothe and soften skin and reduce fine lines by maintaining and enriching natural moisture levels on the face.

• Ideal For – dry + sensitive skin.
• Used As – daily cleanser, make-up and eye make-up remover.
• How to Use – apply pea-sized amount to cotton wool, wipe away daily impurities.  Rinse with warm water.

Herbal Highlight - Calendula Officinalis

A member of the daisy family, calendula - also known as marigold, is a fast-growing, vibrant and rich flower that boasts an aromatic scent when in full bloom, and a vivid orange flower head. 

It is the star ingredient in our heritage Calendula Collection and a staple used in much of our wider product range.

Calendula is a versatile plant; typically harvested whole and used for a wide variety of purposes with little, if any, of the plant going to waste.  

Calendula is a natural and effective skin-conditioner and is most revered for its soothing and calming influence on the complexion, making it well suited to those with a more sensitive canvas.

Nourishing Orange Flower Toner

Nourishing Orange Flower Toner is best known for removing excess cleanser, balancing natural PH levels on the face, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and soft while preparing the skin for serum and moisturizer.

Containing neroli oil, a pure essential oil known as ‘blossom of the bitter’ from the orange tree, our Orange Flower Toner encourages a fresh glowing complexion, and a healthy palate for the remainder of the skin care routine.

• Ideal For – dry, sensitive, sun damaged skin.
• Used As – daily toner used to tone, clarify, refine complexion.
• How to Use – apply with cotton wool after cleansing, or to freshen the skin as desired.

Why Toner?

A good toner is the unsung hero of any skin care regime.  By improving and restoring natural skin PH levels, toners will enhance, compliment, and optimize the absorption of any products to follow, ultimately maximizing your investment in the skin.

 Products such as hydrating serums, nourishing moisturizers, and weekly facial masks help complete an effective skin routine.

Bee Lovely Bath & Shower Gel

Bee Lovely Bath & Shower Gel is often a unanimous customer favourite at Neal’s Yard Remedies!

Infused with organic honey, uplifting organic orange and mandarin essential oils to gently cleanse the body or infuse the bath with luxurious scents, this gel is gentle enough for children, those with sensitive skin, and leaves the body feeling lifted and refreshed.

• Ideal For – all skin types.
• Used As – luxurious bath and shower gel.
• How to Use – apply sparingly to damp skin; gently cleanse or add to running water for an uplifting, fragrant, bath and soak.

For the Love of Bees

Our Bee Lovely range offers more than meets the eye!

With nature at the heart of our every endeavour at Neal’s Yard Remedies, we are devoted to the long-term protection and conservation of bees through not only sustainable farming and production practices, yet also our sales initiatives with every purchase from the Bee Lovely line.
