   When I opened my delightful delivery I instantly fell in love with the refreshing fragrance of the aromatic soaps. The Lavender & Geranium Soap has a relaxing floral fragrance. It's gentle formula is suitable for everyone, but Wild Sage also suggest it for use on the hair to cleanse and add shine. The uplifting Lemongrass & Tea Tree Soap helps to balance the skin's sebum levels, and the powerful energizing aroma is sure to awaken your senses! For a fresh scent and light exfoliation, try the Rosemary & Tea Tree Soap, which contains chopped rosemary to gently scrub the skin. It's also said that rosemary stimulates hair follicles, so you could try using this one as a shampoo, too! All Wild Sage & Co soaps are handmade with love, care, and the finest natural ingredients.

   The Oil Cleansing Method is available for both dry and oily skin types (either can be used on combination skin), and comes with useful information and directions for use. There's no need to wash the face first - this hard-working cleanser battles through make up and dirt without any harsh chemicals, leaving your skin feeling fresh and replenished. And, of course, it smells heavenly!
   Face scrubs are one of my favorite cleansing products, and Wild Sage's Balancing Face Scrub scores top marks from me! It has a pleasant texture, a refreshing aroma, and leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and positively glowing. This tin of exfoliating goodness is the perfect product for rejuvenating the skin, without the use of damaging chemicals.
   The sweetly-scented Argan Balm is a moisturiser with a difference. It's a solid balm presented in a glass jar, but can also be purchased in a little tin which is ideal for travel. I've never seen anything quite like it! It's a great way to round off any skin care routine to leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated. A little goes a long way, so this little pot of beneficial balm will keep your skin feeling glorious for months. Care instructions are included to help you get the most out of it.
   Looking for a product to battle dry lips? Well forget greasy, sticky balms and try Wild Sage's Red Clay Lip Balm. It melts onto the lips, and leaves them feeling silky smooth, wonderfully moisturised, and kiss-ably soft - pucker up, ladies! It also gives a subtle hint of rosy colour. Have a pot handy to keep dehydration at bay.

Totnes in Devon has been home to “Eco Pioneers”, Greenfibres, since 1996. The business was founded with the aim to promote organic, natural, and traditional fabrics, and they are still producing high quality eco-friendly products to this day.

Caring for the environment is paramount to Greenfibres. They are a member of the FSB, a founding member of the Organic Trade Board, and a licensee of The Soil Association. Their passion for our planet is apparent in everything from their understated recycled packaging, to their divine environmentally-friendly produce.
Their values are somewhat heart-warming. The soft, delicate organic cotton is grown according to G.T.O.S (or “Global Organic Textile Standards”), and their produce is manufactured under fair and safe working conditions. Using products like these really does help to make a difference to the world and it’s inhabitants, benefiting not only your body, but also the environment and your peace-of-mind.

You can certainly feel the quality of the products. The soft-as-a-feather Organic Terry Cotton Wash Cloth not only feels divine on even the most sensitive of skin types, but it’s practical, too. It absorbs liquid well, and it’s kind to the delicate facial skin. After use, I just wring it out and pop it over a warm radiator to dry. I not only use mine to wash with, but I also soak it in hot water and hold it about four inches away from the face for a few minutes, letting the steam work it’s magic and cleanse deep into the pores. It’s great for giving your face a “deep cleaning session”, and it’s ever so relaxing.
The Organic Cotton Muslin Face Cloth is another handy item to keep in your wash bag. Muslin cloths can be used in various skin routines. I use mine to remove wet face masks, to wipe away excess facial cream, and to help work products into the skin. The unique texture of this versatile fabric also makes it ideal for using as a gentle “exfoliating cloth”.
