5 Tips To Winter Proof Your Skin

Posted on December 16, 2022 by Melanie Brown

Have you noticed how harsh the winter weather is? 🤔
It has been bitterly cold and this in turn can have an adverse effect on your skin.
Here are 5 tips which are going to help you to protect your skin during the winter months:
1. Moisturise 💆‍♀️
Ensure that you are moisturizing your skin daily. Twice a day will help your skin to become perfectly hydrated. Use lotions, creams or body butters with rich skin loving ingredients such as shea butter, mango butter and cocoa butter. These ingredients are rich with vitamins which protect and revitalise your skin. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to avoid the moisturizers which have fragrance. In addition, when you apply the moisturizer, apply it to damp skin as this locks in the moisture.
2. Limit the use of hot water 💦
Avoid using hot water as this dries out the skin. The best water to use is lukewarm water.
3. Humidify
As soon as it gets cold, we tend to crank up the heat and this dries out the moisture in the air. This has a knock on effect on your skin. Try using a humidifier which introduces moisture to the air.
4. Protect you skin from the sun 🌞
The winter sun can be the most dangerous sun. Remember to protect your skin with the use of sunscreen.
5. Protect your skin from the wind 🌬
Cover your face from the bitter wind and use a lip balm to prevent your lips cracking and drying out.
 
Mel's Little Luxuries has a beautiful whipped body butter which is fabulous for hydrating and moisturizing the skin. It is made with shea butter which is renowned for being packed with antioxidants which fight off the free radicals which damage the skin. It leaves your skin looking radiant and feeling soft. It is a gorgeous pamper treat. Check the link here to find out more:

Are You Interested In Creating Your Own Skincare?

Posted on September 22, 2022 by Melanie Brown

Are you interested in making your own skincare? 🤔
Are you at the beginning of your skincare journey and run into a few challenges when making your own products?
I started soap making as a hobby, but it grew into a big interest when 2 of my children had dry skin issues. I was concerned about massed produced products, made with ingredients which often caused skin irritation.
My hobby then grew into a business which I love.
During this time, I have met clients who have been curious about the handmade cosmetic world.
People frequently asked me how they could:
🟢 Start a fun interesting hobby
🟢 Make their own products for the home
🟢 Get quality time bonding with their children
🟢 Save money making gifts
🟢 Make money from products that they create.
I'm going to be teaching you tips and tricks so that you can achieve these things. It's fun, enjoyable and liberating.
I will be opening the doors to my new Facebook Group on Monday 26th September 2022 at 9 am.
When you join How to Make Soaps, Bath Bombs, Body Butters & Lip Balms for Profit and Fun, you will be joining a community where you can develop skills and the confidence to make your own gorgeous products.
Here's the link again and I can't wait to see you in the group https://www.facebook.com/groups/soapswithmel/

So What’s So Special About Mel’s Little Luxuries

Posted on August 06, 2016 by Melanie Brown

I know!

You are tired of the constant advertising and requests to buy this outstanding product and buy that. Then along comes Mel’s Little Luxuries. Well, who or what is that? What do they want you to buy?

I started this business out of a hobby. With 3 gorgeous children and a full time job, I needed to find some precious time for myself. So I started soap making and realised that I enjoyed it. It was fun creating something from scratch, but you have total control over what ingredients go into the products.

This got me thinking. If you are like me, you probably get fed up with the number of products out there on the market and you have no idea what they contain. When you try reading the labels, you are simply blinded by science.

For me this is quite worrying because 2 of my little angels have eczema and the prescriptions they were getting, weren’t helping and sometimes seemed to cause more of an irritation.

Now I was involved in soap making, it made me realise that I could craft a gentle product which could help with soothing their skin. I therefore started to take things a little more seriously.

I went on a number of courses and out of that Mel’s Little Luxuries was born. I create natural handmade products such as body butters, lip balms, soaps and bath bombs. They make great gifts, pamper treats and the natural ingredients have been known to help with making the skin look vibrant, healthy and glowing.

So that’s what Mel’s Little Luxuries is all about.

If you care about your skin and are looking at ways to keep a healthy and youthful appearance, why not pop over to www.melslittleluxuries.co.uk to take a look at the products on offer. They are lovingly made and you will find something for everyone.
