Ben & Anna Natural Dental Care

-
This month I decided to get in the spirit of Plastic Free July and try out some plastic free natural dental care products from Ben & Anna. I have chosen to try the toothpaste and mouthwash from the sensitive range. I wouldn't say my teeth are hugely sensitive but I do get some sensitivity now and then with cold things like ice cream and I have one tooth in particular that is always affected.


All of Ben & Anna products are all free from phthalates, parabens, microplastics, SLS and formaldehydes. Also none of the products have been tested on animals. You can see my review of their deodorants in my blog post HERE.


Ben & Anna Toothpaste Sensitive* (£8.95, 100ml) comes packaged in a glass jar with outer cardboard box. Inside the box you will find a small branded spatula which you can use to apply the toothpaste to your toothbrush.

The effective formulas are from 100% natural origin and contain sea-buckthorn, chamomile, activated charcoal, cinnamon and calcium for strong, shiny teeth and healthy gums. 

I loved the texture of this toothpaste and felt it cleaned my teeth really well. It has a strong peppermint smell and tastes nice but there is a slightly odd aftertaste which takes a bit of getting used to, although it isn't too unpleasant. 


Ben & Anna Mouthwash Sensitive* (£10.95, 500ml) comes in a large glass bottle and is the perfect match for the sensitive toothpaste.

The natural ingredients of Sea Buckthorn, Sage and Aloe Vera help to disinfect, soothe and protect the mouth and gums against irritation.

Like the matching toothpaste this mouthwash also has the peppermint smell and tastes great once you get used to it. I found myself using the mouthwash more throughout the day after drinking coffee to quickly freshen up.



Overall I enjoy both of these products and have been noticing less sensitivity while enjoying my ice lollies and cold drinks. If you are looking to make the change from plastic packaged dental care to plastic free then I would definitely recommend you try out the Ben & Anna range of products.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
