21st August 2018 5 of the best Skincare Products

Some of you may still be basking in this year’s summer heatwave, whilst others will be back in their winter wardrobe warmers. Here in Portmeirion, the weather has changed, the temperature dropped and a smell of autumn is in the air.

Is our summer over or are we expecting another mini heatwave next month as predicted by the weatherman?

Either way, the change in the weather can take its toll on your skin, so now is a great time to give your skin a much needed pick me up.

We've picked PortmeirionOnline's best-selling beauty products that may help you get that happier, brighter, glowing skin!

Skincare Tips Blog

1. L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cleansing Foam

This Facial cleansing foam is great for cleansing the skin, leaving it fresh. It works hard to remove make-up and impurities without drying out the skin.

2. Farmers' Scrub 75ml

An absolute must have exfoliant for the skin and one of my personal favourites. FARMERS’ SCRUB is a refreshing and exotic blend of our own lavender essential oil plus oils of geranium, frankincense, ylang ylang and frangipani in an exceptionally mild, cleansing, triple-whipped creamy base. Made of all natural ingredients from locally grown lavender, what’s not to love about this?!

3. L'Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Comforting Face Cream

A great moisturiser can help prevent as well as treat dry skin. It can help to protect sensitive skin, improve skin tone and texture. This ultra-rich comforting Cream for dry skin does just this! It’s formulated with a high concentration of shea butter for exceptional skin hydration. This cream is enriched with Shea Butter, omega 6 & Karitene. Dermatologically tested so great for sensitive skin.

4. Cath Kidston Posy Bunch Hand Cream Trio

We sure do put our hands through so much everyday, resulting in dry chapped skin. This handy little trio of hand creams by Cath Kidtson is just the treat for thirsty hands. The formulation contains moisturising vitamin E and glycerin, and each travel-friendly 30ml tube features a different fresh floral design. Kind enough for the whole family.

5. Heath Hair & Body Wash for Men

Not forgetting that skincare is just as important for men as it is for women, we here love the Heath London range of skincare for men. This hair and body wash contains Caffeine & Ginseng extract to energise and cleanse. A perfect all over cleanser that can be taken anywhere!

8th August 2018 Full swing Picnic Season!

We're currently having the hottest summer on record with North Wales regularly featuring on TV as being the hottest place in Britain! Now is never a better time to make the most of al fresco dining and eating outdoors!

Portmeirion Village Shop and Portmeirion Online has everything you need to create the perfect Picnic, including the location ;)

We've put together some must haves to help you create an epic picnic;

1. Hydration

Remember to stay hydrated whilst outdoors in the sunshine. An easy way to do this is to take a good stock of water with you and some refreshing drinks in re-usable bottles, such as the Beau & Elliot Hydration Bottle, or a beautiful Sara Miller Water Bottle. Reusable bottles are hugely important in helping to avoid single use plastic and reduce waste.

2 Food Storage

Wrap your food well when preparing for a picnic. Bee's Sandwich wraps are perfect for wrapping sandwiches and picnic goodies, and are fully re-usable. It’s easy. Simply wash with cool water and soap, hang to dry and repeat. If you're looking for something a little more rigid, to stop squashing your sandwiches, opt for an insulated sandwich box, available in various colourways.

3. Picnic Blanket/ Rug

Comfort is a must whilst lounging outside for hours. Anorak have launched super cute animal inspired outdoor blankets which feature a waterproof backing and useful carry handle.

4. Location

Of course we're going to be bias about this one, but you couldn’t get a better location that Portmeirion Village, with its idyllic gardens and coastal paths, picnicking here is simply heaven.
