Favourite Five: Local, Natural Skincare Products

Best Natural South African Skincare Products

I’ve got a real soft spot for local, cruelty-free, beautifully designed, handmade, natural beauty products, especially those from small businesses. I think it’s so important to support these brands, not only because they’re South African, but because they produce high quality skincare that’s good for your skin and the environment. Here are the five products I use regularly in my routine and would highly recommend, none of which are likely to surprise you! All products were initially supplied as PR samples, but I’ve subsequently purchased all the items that I’ve finished, and bought a few more as gifts:

Although it’s much more under control now, I’ve had some version of oily/combination skin for as long as I can remember.

It has left my skin a little frazzled though, so a few months ago I decided to regulate my routine in an effort to rebalance my oily/combo/dehydrated skin and the consistency has really paid off. Here are the simple steps I follow and the products I use in them:

Review: SKOON. Skin Care

Skoon Ruby Marine Overnight Hydrating Mask | All Dolled Up

If you follow us on social media you will have seen a lot of SKOON. being featured recently. SKOON. is a South African bespoke skin care range which uses natural ingredients only – so think pure plant oils, rich butters, floral essences and botanical extracts.

I don’t know about you, but my skin is temperamental and prone to sudden changes in tone and texture, so it makes sense that I should be able to adapt my products accordingly. It’s genius, really.…
