Natural skincare

We adore Raw Gaia’s range of skincare for the whole family (yes, for men and babies too!) and choose them for use in our beauty treatments because they have proved to be amazing products, helping people time and time again to combat acne, stressed skin and restore a radiant glow and lots of love to our skin cells.

Find out more about Raw Gaia’s principles and how to choose Raw Gaia products according to your own needs: we keep a broad range of Raw Gaia products in stock at our treatment room but will gladly place special orders for you.

We recommend wholeheartedly the following products for your daily routine (remember – keep it simple!):

Cleanser

Living Facial Cleanser is brilliant for all skin-types, gentle yet efficient at removing grime with a blend of oils, essential oils and floral waters which keeps the natural balance of your skin

Toner

Floral Facial Toner is a special blend of uplifting, toning floral waters and essential oils to give your cells a revitalising boost

Floral waters offer different types to suit your own skin-type and personality: often described as a homeopathic alternative to essential oils.  One of our favourites is Frankincense floral water, which offers healing properties for mature skin yet soothes and heals our inner selves too

Moisturiser

For Her Daughters Living Moisturiser contains revitalising rosehip, evening primrose and palmarosa oils which helps to restore smoothness and radiance to your skin, with rosehip oil acting as a booster for cellular regeneration (we use rosehip oil neat when our skin is proving rather troublesome or if there is a remote possibility of scarring). Delightfully feminine and a great all-rounder – all skin types will benefit from this delicious moisturiser

For Her Sons Living Moisturiser is especially for men with the masculine aromas of ylang ylang, lavender and patchouli – again, great for all skin types

MSM Beauty Cream is magic-in-a-jar: brilliant for tired, stressed skin for unlucky commuters and for those who suffer with acne or need a little bit of help with repairing scarring or damaged tissue.  A perfect present for yourself as it contains frankincense and myrrh along with the “beauty mineral” MSM (Callie is intolerant to sulphur yet her skin has benefitted enormously from this cream).

Hemp Cream is high in omega 3 and 6 oils which is perfect for ultra-dry skin; clinical trials have shown that hemp oil may be beneficial for those suffering with psoriasis and eczema.  We love it because of the lavender and sweet orange essential oils!

Additional products

Not content with just three products on your bathroom shelf for your daily skincare routine?  Maybe you would like to try the revitalising eye oil treatment – containing the wonderful rejuvenating rosehip oil alongside sea buckthorn.  Liquid love and nourishment for the delicate layers surrounding your eyes, lasts for ages and can be used as a moisturiser too, of course.

MSM Beauty spray is great for when your skin needs a pick-up – great for taking away on holiday as a refreshing mist on the flight and for keeping your skin nourished and protected in a different climate.  Smells delicious too, so make sure it stays firmly in your handbag in case someone takes a fancy to it!

Weekly treats

Raw Chocolate Face Mask needs no introduction – always a firm favourite with our clients because of the delicious chocolate fragrance from raw cacao which offers excellent antioxidant properties (giving your skin an additional boost of energy) and a rosy glow comes from turmeric and amla fruit powder. Yum yum!  If you have slightly oily skin you may prefer to treat your skin to a green clay mask which gently draws out impurities and leaves your skin feeling fresh and dewy.  Rhassoul clay is excellent for skin which adores a deep cleansing experience: highly nourishing for the skin, rhassoul clay has a very high mineral content and unique composition, including silica, magnesium, potassium and calcium: anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-microbial and antiseptic it is also a versatile product as it can be used as a daily cleanser/face wash.  Two products rolled into one – great product, we think!  Oh yes, and it is also highly recommended for psoriasis and eczema.

There are also super-gentle products for your baby’s needs (including a wonderful Baby gift box with a range of goodies for the new parents), natural oils, massage oils and bath and bodycare products to suit everyone.
