Eco-Friendly, Chemical Free & Cruelty Free Natural Skincare Products @loverems
They Say Never Judge A Book By Its Cover. Fortunately The Author Was In The House Meeting, Greeting & Speaking. So We Didn’t Have To Guess. We Simply Asked Her Instead What Elephant (Above) Is All About (As Unusually It Does Not Say ‘On The Tin’. And We At TO.P Endeavour Never To Assume). It’s A Book of Poems. Author@sianaarrgh
Providing Protection On The Outside Is Independent, Natural Skin Care & Beauty Brand @loverems On Instagram & loverems.com Online. Products Are Handmade, Sustainable & Eco-Friendly. There’s African Black Soap, Body Butters (Which We Sampled, That Just Melt Into & Glide Over The Skin With Ease. They Are Generously Made With Special Essential Oils & Natural Oils, That Seem To Just Give & Give And Keep On Giving). They Seemed Far More User-Friendly, Rich & Smooth Than Some More Hard & Solid Body Butters, Which Can Sometimes Be A Bit of A Struggle To Work Into The Skin.
Hair Products (Which We SampledAlongside The Body Butter) Sadly Did Seem As Agreeable Because They Were More Hard & Solid In The Way We Just Mentioned. But The Quality Is Definitely Still There, Warming Them First Really Helps & The Fact Is We All Have Different Hair Types That Respond Differently To Different Products. Bath Salts & Body Creams Can Be Added To The Body Butters To Make A Great Festive Gift Package. Orders Come With A Free Festive Charity Card And The Products Are Wonderfully Unisex.
