Maia Natural Beauty Blog

As a direct result of a conversation on a parenting forum I am excited to launch Maia’s latest range: Super Skin-Friendly for young and sensitive skins.

All colours and scents are from natural extracts, botanicals and aromatherapy oils and are nourishing, soothing and gentle.

Super Skin-Friendly is formulated especially for children and sensitive skins with gentle natural caring ingredients that nourish, protect and soothe the skin instead of causing irritation and itchy skin.

• No Synthetic Colours
• No Synthetic Fragrances
• No SLS, SLES, sulphates
• No parabens

We don’t use any of those ingredients anyway at Maia Skin Care but many so-called natural companies do.

Often when I chat to people and they ask what I do and I mention bath products an almost icy change happens in the conversation and they say ‘Oh I can’t use anything in the bath, I think I must be too sensitive.’

If you have sensitive skin prone to irritation, redness, stinging and even rashes, you will know how upsetting and frustrating it is caring for your skin.

Sensitive skins may react to the many chemicals such as synthetic fragrances and parabens found in commercial skincare, even skin care specifically for sensitive skin.

Many people with sensitive skins turn to natural skin care to gently soothe, nourish and protect their skin, such as skin care free from parabens, harsh chemicals and skin irritants with natural active ingredients. [Read more →]

I’m so thrilled at a wonderful review by Dr Nicola Thomas, aka the GIN lady:

“Another ‘miracle’ product is by Maia Skin Care. Their Goddess Treatment Balm contains no animal products, not even beeswax. Instead Maia uses avocado butters and olive wax and as such is so silky smooth.

It’s easily the best beauty flash balm product around. I would definitely recommend getting online and becoming an early adopter of Maia Skin Care. “

Thank you Nicola!

If you want to benefit from aromatherapy you need to know the difference between the two types of aromatherapy:   [Read more →]

If I had to pick just one product from the Maia all natural skin care range to take on a desert island, it would be the Omni Balm.

It is such a hard working little balm with so many uses, and it performs brilliantly regardless of the task.

You can get microdermabrasion results at home without harsh abrasives or chemicals. Firstly see How to get Younger Looking Skin Part 1 

Microdermabrasion is just another way to exfoliate, with crystals, chemicals and a sandblasting tool.

However you do not need an abrasive and intense procedure to give you fresh younger looking skin. [Read more →]
