Last week I returned from a ten day holiday in Asia – first stop to Hong Kong and then for a few days in Thailand. It was amazing, unsurprisingly. Now I won’t tell you what I ate and drank as it wasn’t very Healing Beauty at all. But I will tell you what products I […]

Happy (Belated) Birthday Blog!
Being the neglectful and inattentive blog mother that I am, I forgot my poor little one’s birthday this year. And it was an important birthday too – a big milestone in its young life. Healing Beauty turned one on 22nd April. If I sound a little dispirited it’s because it’s with a twinge of guilt […]

From a waste/economical perspective I thought this […]
EWG’s Safest Sunscreens. Let’s get ready for summer!
