At this time of year your skin needs a little help to look and feel restored and revived. Great Elm Physick Garden, producers of organic herbal skincare from the country gardens of Somerset are here to help!
Over the past few weeks I have been trying out their Mallow and Immortelle Nourishing Face Mask, and their Lemon Balm and Blackcurrant Intensive Face Care.
The face mask comes in two parts; the fragrant liquid and the gentle oats, petals and clay mix. When blended together they create a nourishing, chemical-free mask made from traditional skin-calming ingredients; including soothing violet leaf, nourishing almond oil and the detoxing ingredient Immortelle which is known for its reputation as a pain-reducing anti-inflammatory and an effective cell-regenerator.
I loved this face mask, not only was it fun to make (rather like mixing up a potion), it left my skin feeling nourished, soft and smooth.
The Lemon Balm and Blackcurrant Intensive Face Care did not disappoint either. The roll-on oil is packed full of natural ingredients including blackcurrant seed oil, health-giving vitamins borage and high levels of fatty acids, essential for cell-growth. After using this every night for the last few weeks I really have seen a difference in my skin’s tone and appearance, and even by the morning my skin still feels hydrated and moisturised.
The Great Elm Physick Garden products are a joy to use and beautifully packaged. Check out the full range here for some fabulous gift ideas for Mother’s Day!

I'm a great fan too - they're so fresh and I find them amazingly effective. I've got oily skin and have suffered from acne but now that I use Juniper & Soapwort gentle cleanser and toner, my skin is so much better. Brilliant in fact.
