This week we take a look at the beauty superhero finds in your garden. Finds that you may have overlooked – or forgotten about – or simply not considered before! From daisies to rosemary (and even snail slime!) this very helpful video from Di at Wild Harvest has some fantastic tips to provide inspiration and ideas.

We look at what can be found in the garden. Plants that can increase and reduce melanin; plants to replace expensive AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). Plants that can support as skin products – such as apples, grapes, rhubarb, milk, wine, citrus and more; grass as a skin smoother and finally snail gel and new zealand flax as local aloe vera substitutes.
