My Monthly Favourites – Beauty and Health

We’re now well into April which has so far seen all the males in our household have a horrible stomach bug which has lasted throughout the whole school holiday. So, today I thought I’d talk about health. I’m here to share some of my favourites from the last month with you. This will be a new monthly segment of mine where I’ll talk about products I’ve loved with a specific angle for each month.

This month I am focusing on beauty and health products. Those that are ideal for the family, the kids, and those beauty items that I am loving at the minute…

A bottle and box of BetterYou Vegan Health Daily Oral Spray, a standout in beauty and health products, rest on a light wooden surface with purple flowers nearby. The packaging highlights oral spray technology and essential nutrients for vegans.

BetterYou’s brand-new, Vegan Health Oral Spray has been awarded ‘Best New Supplement’ at this year’s Natural & Organic Products Europe showcase, and I can definitely see why. A world-first, the Vegan Health Oral Spray has been formulated with four essential nutrients that are perfect for those on a plant-based diet. Launched in March of this year, the intra-oral spray contains scientifically substantiated levels of vegan-certified vitamin D3, vitamin B12, iron and iodine to really boost the supply of these vitamins and nutrients.

The BetterYou Vegan Health Oral Spray has a natural mixed berry flavour, and contains a 100% vegan friendly formulation which is designed to be absorbed through the inner lining of the mouth. A great alternative to tablets and capsules, and ideal for those who can’t take tablets. You just simply pump a few sprays into the inside of your cheek and away you go.

Magnesium’s role in sleep
It is well known that poor sleep can have a dramatic effect on our health, but many people are unaware that a deficiency in magnesium can be one of the main factors directly affecting the quality of sleep we can achieve.
Two bottles of BetterYou Magnesium Sleep lotion, popular beauty and health products, rest on a white wooden surface, surrounded by purple flowers and a decorative white branch. The bottles feature stylish purple, white, and black labelling.
The body needs magnesium to maintain a state of complete rest and low levels can lead to restless muscles that can keep you awake at night. I have experience with this as J struggles with restless legs and feet, often during the night, which can lead to a restless nights sleep for, not only him, but for me too.
Magnesium Sleep Lotion delivers an expertly blended combination of Magnesium Chloride, to help relax tired muscles and Lavender and Chamomile, to slow sensory activity and quieten the mind. Together they promote a restful night’s sleep. This is also available in Magnesium Sleep Lotion Junior , which is the correct formulation for children, and supports a restful night’s sleep for your little ones.
A bag of Vie Health Care Magnesium Flake Foot & Bath Soak, part of our beauty and health products, is open with white flakes spilt onto a blue cloth. Purple flowers rest nearby on a white wooden surface.
Joint pain affects over 10 million people in the UK. Causes vary but it is generally accepted that the gradual wearing away of joint cartilage tissue is a major contributing factor. Vie Magnesium Flakes contains high quality Magnesium (Hexahydrate) sourced from the Dead Sea origin.

And it’s so simply to use. You just, dissolve into your bath water, like you would a bath bomb, and then you can enjoy a therapeutic soak whilst your body does the rest. Magnesium helps to support joint and muscle health. It is also said to soften skin and maintain skin structure, strength and elasticity, and can be used for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne – so a great all-rounder.

Flat lay of beauty and health products, featuring Moroccan black soap, rhassoul clay, a small bottle of oil in a sheer brown pouch, a blue exfoliating mitt, and a wooden spoon on a white wooden surface.
For a full set, the Moroccan Hammam Spa Ritual from Vie Naturals contains Beldi Black Soap with Eucalyptus, Rhassoul Clay from the Atlas Mountains and Argan Oil, all sourced from Morocco for an authentic Hammam experience, one of the oldest cleansing traditions in the world.
The Moroccan Beldi Black Soap is a cleansing gel enriched with eucalyptus oil to revitalise the senses, it works to cleanse and soften the outer layers of your skin in preparation for exfoliation. Then use the Rhassoul Clay which is renowned for its high mineral content, rich in silica and magnesium, the clay absorbs toxins and impurities whilst moisturising skin. It can also be used as a facial mask, cleanser and shampoo. Finally, finish with Menara Argan Oil. Rich in vitamin E, this nourishing body oil is used to soften, hydrate and moisturise nails, hair and skin.
The Spa Kit includes an exfoliating kessa glove to help remove dead skin cells, toxins and impurities, and an ethically sourced coconut spoon made from the palm of coconut trees (a metallic spoon should not be used with the clay due to its reactive properties). Check at the end of this post for a chance to win a set of your own.
A jar of Philip Kingsley Elasticizer hair treatment with a floral design sits on a white wooden surface, surrounded by other blurred beauty and health products and purple flowers in the background.
When we think about health, I think we sometimes forget about our hair, but keeping this healthy can be hard work when you’re using a lot of products and heat daily. Philip Kingsley has launched a sophisticated limited-edition Pomegranate & Cassis Elasticizer which has been based on the classic best-selling formula but is enhanced with the opulently fruity fragrance. A pre-shampoo and conditioner product, it has an invigorating scent of intensely rich pomegranate and captivating sweet cassis.
Simply dampen the hair and then work in throughout the whole of your hair, and leave as long as possible. I find it quite weird to use a hair mask before shampooing, but this Elasticizer is amazing at what it does. Bringing extra elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine, without weighing the hair down,  leading to less breakage and snapping.

And if you are someone, like me, who uses a hair dryer, or other heated products, daily, then the Daily Damage Defence is my miracle product which is ideal. This award-winning protective conditioning spray adds elasticity and protects against daily environmental wear.

The daily-use formula includes Almond Seedcake Extract which contains amino acids and proteins which bond to hair, strengthening each and every strand to smooth damaged hair and give fine or limp hair volume. Daily Damage Defence also includes Elastin, known to improve damaged hair, and also strengthen and repair breakages. The light spray repairs damaged hair, instantly detangles, provides heat protection, adds intense shine, boosts volume and improves manageability.

A bottle of I’AN sunscreen, a standout among beauty and health products, rests on a white wooden surface beside a maroon patterned pouch, artificial purple flowers, and a silver ribbon on the left.
We all know by now that the sun can cause us so much damage if we stay out in it too long. We all long for that bronzed skin, but don’t want to take the risk anymore. Tancream has come up with a way to protect the skin, and give that gorgeous glow, without help from the sun. You can use it everyday as a face & body moisturiser so it gives you daily SPF protection, but it has the added extras of having a natural gradual self tan and an anti-ageing product.
This daily defence has SPF 50 and Ultra UVA 5 star High Sun Protection to protect from long term damage. It has a gradual self tan built in, to give you an instant glow, and even skin tone whilst moisturising the skin, with this light non-streaking, fragrance and odour free lotion.
A tube of HEVL Sun Protection Face Cream SPF 50, a standout in beauty and health products, sits on a light wooden surface next to sprigs of purple flowers.

For a protective face cream, HEVL SPF 50 Face Crème, can cover you from UVA, UVB and HEVL too. We all know that UVA and UVB sun rays damage skin but what is now so well-known is a third type of harmful ray called High Energy Visible Light (HEVL). HEVL are basically rays produced by daylight, whether it’s sunny or just light, these harmful rays can damage exposed skin.

HEVL SPF 50 Face Crème is a light non-greasy face cream with a skin-coloured tint. FREE from MI, SLS, parabens and perfumes to give you that full coverage without compromising on your skin care.

Six bottles of Bioglan SmartKids vitamins, popular beauty and health products, are arranged on a white wooden surface, with four yellow gummy vitamins in front. The bottle in focus is labelled Vitamin D against a softly blurred background.
Getting extra vitamins and nutrients into your diet is always a must and Bioglan have just introduced a  new range of SmartKids VitaGummies which features six chewy & delicious gummy supplement formulations to support healthy, happy kids.
Happy Tummies VitaGummies looks after children’s gut health is essential for them to be happy, healthy and balanced. The gut is how we absorb almost all our nutrients. If the gut is healthy, our kids will absorb more nutrients from the food they eat. And Fussy Eaters Multi contains Vitamin A, C, D, E & Iodine plus a blend of hidden veggies in a delicious raspberry gummy which they will love to take.
Healthy Bones VitaGummies comes in a delicious strawberry flavoured gummy and combines a unique blend of Calcium, Vitamin D2 and Vitamin K2 for healthy bone development. Whereas Healthy Eyes VitaGummies has a blend of Vitamin A, Lutein and Zeaxanthin to promote healthy vision.

    Magnesium sleep would be lovely. I’m sure I could do with a higher amount of magnesium in my everyday life to help relax me and be overall healthier

    I'd love to try the Magnesium soak. I have chronic pain and have heard so many good things about it helping with this. A good nights sleep would also be wonderful!
