When I read the above and realised that they have nastie-free hair care products, I knew I had to try some (the whole healthy hair journey, and all). Keep reading to the end though as the last one is my favourite.

Potion Lotion R165 (225ml), TLC R185 (225ml), Daily Tonic R260 (500ml)
Potion Lotion R165 (225ml), TLC R185 (225ml), Daily Tonic R260 (500ml)

The Daily Tonic is a detangler like no other we’ve tried. It’s a cocktail of natural ingredients which include ‘ultramarine polysaccharides for effortless styling and our pure plant essences which release their fumes all day long, both delighting our senses and helping to make hair unattractive to head lice.’ It works like a charm to detangle Cara’s hair when we need to get it looking pretty between washes and it works great as a leave-in conditioner after a wash (and condition). It leaves her hair shiny and soft. I have not been able to figure out if I like or dislike the scent. It’s not particularly unpleasant; it’s just different I guess. I do know that I love that the scent is not artificial and the fact that lice hates it is a bonus.

The TLC body and hair wash is a natural no-tears formula suitable for the most sensitive of skins.  It’s so gentle because it ‘contains ingredients which match the oils and amino acids found naturally in the skin.’ This wash foams beautifully and cleans thoroughly without leaving Cara’s hair or skin feeling dried out or stripped. Two thumbs up.

Before I tell you about Potion Lotion, please remember that eczema is a very ‘individual’ ailment. What works for one person, may not work for another as the cause and triggers for eczema varies from the one person to the next. Cara’s eczema is caused by food allergies, while mine is more related to stress and I suffer most during change of season. I hope that this cream may also work for you!

My ABC workouts take place outside at 5:30 in the morning. It was particularly cold when I started the camp and I could see that my hands didn’t really like the cold (gloves sorted that out quickly). If my eczema is already inflamed, my own sweat burns my skin. My hands really looked bad and the skin was broken, swollen and sore.

Round about that time I received the Potion Lotion and when I lathered Cara in the stuff after her bath, the excess would go on to my arms and hands. This is a magic potion!! After 3 days the skin on my hands were healed. I couldn’t believe it. It really helps heal my eczema and it is all natural! It is also beautifully moisturising. I love it and so does Cara. The lotion does have a very potent smell which I’m not too fond of, but that will not stop me from using (and buying) it. It’s awesome.

REN Moroccan Rose Otto – the ultimate body indulgence

The beautiful packaging, the heavenly rose scent and the quality of this beautiful range is simply flawless. It truly is the ultimate treat. The range is formulated with Moroccan Rose Otto Oil which is one of the world’s most expensive and revered essential oils.

REN sent me 3 products from this exquisite range and I immediately fell in love.

‘The exquisite scent of Rose is known for its stress relieving and harmonising properties.’

Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash – R250 for 200ml

The body wash smells lovely, foams beautifully and leaves my skin feeling cleansed, yet soft and smooth. A little goes along way and the pump bottle is just perfect.

Moroccan Rose Otto Body Lotion – R380 for 200ml

This lotion easily absorbs and leaves my skin feeling supple, soft and cared for. The scent lingers on the skin without being overpowering. True bliss.

Moroccan Rose Otto Ultra-Moisture Body Oil – R525 for 100ml

Oh my. This body oil is the ultimate in luxury. The scent and the beautiful glass bottle alone is enough to make you want more. It is very moisturising without feeling heavy. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin with a beautiful radiant glow. And it works so well with my super sensitive and dry skin. The body oil is not just a treat, but also a ‘treatment’ as it locks in moisture, restores elasticity and combats the signs of premature ageing.

These products are truly a spoil and would make perfect gift for yourself or a loved one.

Have a look at the REN SA website for more info or follow them on Twitter or Facebook.

I have never tried anything by this brand before, and if the quality of this range is anything to go by, REN has made me a fan for life. More REN reviews coming soon…
