Have you seen the latest from Your Next Remedy? They have just launched a collection of Christmas Gifts for women. I am head over toes about these pretty sets because they promote healthier beauty choices. They are all composed using only natural products. They are a selection of skincare from around the world. The brands share similar philosophy of being free from synthetic additives, harsh detergents, irritants, parabens or artificial colours. The prices are astonishingly small considering the items that are included. 

It was hard but I picked my favourite one from six available to buy now. The WOMAN ALLURE ticks all the boxes for me in terms of value, type of products and potential benefits to my own skincare regime. 

It includes brands I have sampled in the past and brands I have never tried before. To me it is a all rounder set that if taken to a bathroom will be a complete cleanse, scrub, moisturise and tone kit for the skin. What's more, the process will be enhanced by aromatherapeutic properties of . I am very excited about the intriguing blend of Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Rose, Orange and Jasmin Essential Oils in Absolute Aromas Bath Salts. I did look this information up as the detailed descriptions of each product are yet to come. 

Davaj Firming and Stimulating Body Serum is like a dream come true on any skin, young or mature as it was developed with the thought of providing the skin restructuring effect by creating pure, phyto actives dense body product. Davaj Intense Remodelling Face Serum is based on the similar principle and I love its coveted properties of a little known and hard to find beauty elixir.

If I get my hands on a Sukin  product, it will be my first ever experience with this natural, carbon neutral brand of Australian origin. Same amount of elation from a natural junkie applies to UK based Bentley Organics brand and its certified by Soil Association gentle soap. 

I hope there are more than one of thesse in stock as I personally will be starting with my Christmas shopping in two weeks or so.

September proves to be a very different month for us from testing the first Super Food Breakfast to getting to know the male point of view on natural beauty industry. Meet the Owner of Your Next Remedy, online shop offering unisex natural skincare solutions.

How was Your Next Remedy born?

Your Next Remedy was formed back in 2011 during the big boom in the men's grooming industry. My interest in men's grooming products became quite evident from a young age. At just 17 years of age I was constantly caking myself in the latest skin care and hair care products, which became a solid part of my daily routine. My friends thought I was slightly weird at the time, but now they've all jumped on the bandwagon like the majority of men in today's society. I figured if I was to start a business, then why not start one based on something I am passionate about and have the knowledge to go with it? So I did.

What's your view on using synthetic ingredients in skincare? 

To be honest, during my early years of grooming, I never cared too much about synthetic ingredients in beauty products. It was only after I started Your Next Remedy that I became more aware of it. I do feel it's extremely important for skin care products to be as natural as they can be. It really is quite shocking to know what kinds of ingredients are used in some of the leading brands on the market. I've now made it my mission to stock products that are only naturally formulated that can deliver the best possible results. 

What are the best grooming products (brands you have ever tried? Do you use any products you stock?

Although there is a bunch of crap out there on the market, there are also some terrific brands that I absolutely love. I'm a big fan of the Raz*War shaving range, and I also have a soft spot for the very affordable Bull Dog skin care line. If you don't mind spending the extra buck, then the new J. Nicholas beauty range is definitely one to consider for the seasoned groomer. After months of research, I had this range developed based on premium ingredients that actually work to better your skin, body and hair. I use this range daily, and without coming across as biased, the J. Nicholas Anti-Ageing Face Cream is the best skin care formula I have ever tried. 

You are the editor and owner of The Male Grooming Review. What do you think modern men need most advice on? What reads? 

I'm very proud of The Male Grooming Review. I have never claimed to be a writer, but the blog now ranks as one of the best of its kind in the world, so it's pretty clear how much interest the men's grooming sector is generating at the moment. I don't think the modern man needs advice as such, but I think most men do appreciate having a solid reference to go by. Most guys who read The Male Grooming Review are interested in the beauty sector and are simply looking for ways and products to help improve their appearance and health. As far as hits go, the most popular articles on the blog tend to be hair loss related, although anti-ageing and beard topics are also quite popular. 

What is the owner of Your Next Remedy like after working hours? (interests, passions)

If I'm not working, you'll most likely find me on a tennis court somewhere knocking a few balls about. I'm certainly not going to be the next Andy Murray any time soon, but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun trying to improve my game. I also love playing guitar and gazing at the stars wondering how the hell we all got here. Spending time with people I love is also hugely important to me. 

Do you have a life motto you live by?

Look after your health. Be strong. Keep improving. 

What are your plans for YNR's future?

I'd like to grow Your Next Remedy into one of the major players in the men's online grooming sector, selling honest products with core essential values.

YOUR NEXT REMEDY

White Label Hair Oil is a brand new addition to natural hair care category. It has been created to become an all round product to strengthen, style and nourish both hair and scalp.  Please read on to find out about easy ways to get a healthy mane with Whit Label Hair Oil.

To strengthen...

If you suffer from dry, brittle or damaged hair you may want to consider using this oil regularly as an after shampoo conditioner. Just rub two squirts in the palms of your hands and apply over wet hair and scalp, wait two minutes and blow dry. This will encourage hair growth and give your locks sleek finish. Remember that a little goes a long way here, use no more than two pumps on fine hair and up to four on thick, frizzy types. This method will allow quicker regeneration of your hair by smoothing out micro tears and thus making it more resilient to harsh elements such as wind or cold air.

To style...

As a smart styling tool this oil can be applied to dry hair to achieve accentuated strands, or a healthy shine to mid lengths. It won't make the hair look greasy if correct amount is used so the best way is to experiment a little with dosage. Sometimes even one squirt is enough. If applied to the ends only, White Label Hair Oil will help your hair stay fresh and bouncy for longer.

To nourish...

White Label  Hair Oil was carefully formulated to really stand out from all the other Argan oil based hair care products. Three key ingredients - Argan, Plum Kernel and Moringa Oils were blended together to maximise the benefits. They are all light textured oils that are easily absorbed by skin and hair and have a great deep penetrating properties. 

To use White Label as a Hair Mask, apply more generous amount on to dry hair by combing your fingers through it. Spend a few minutes massaging your scalp to encourage hair growth. Leave the oil in overnight and wash off the next morning with your daily shampoo. This is when you will really start noticing the difference to your hair. 

Moreover, White Label Hair Oil is 100% natural therefore you'll avoid being exposed to all the synthetics used in many other hair masks available on the market. It smells delicious thanks to the natural aroma of Plum Kernel Oil and is a pleasure to use.
