Korres natural products is a Greek company which uses innovative natural ingredients to make gorgeous products which smell and feel divine and work amazingly. The range covers everything from body and skincare, to pharmacy items, sun protection and cosmetics.  All items are dermatologically tested and mineral oil, propylene glycol and ethanolamine free. The brand have also cleverly come up with a number of well priced ‘gift sets’ which in fact are the perfect way to try out the brand if you are new to it, without breaking the bank as it works out cheaper than buying the items individually. Here are the top 5 sets that I would recommend you try out as an introduction to my favourite brand of skincare and cosmetics which I discovered in 2009 and will be a staple for 2010.

First up is the Mediterranean Sun Colour Kit RRP £28.88

Monoi oil Bronzing powder (No 01 Sunglow light) 11g
Cherry oil Lip gloss (No 54 Fuchsia) 6ml

While Korres products seem to me to be very unisex there is a kit especially designed for men with very plain masculine packaging that would be fantastic for a gym bag or travel washbag.

I would definitely urge everyone to take a look at the Korres range of products this year. I feel increasingly unhappy with the chemicals that are found in so many of our everyday products and this brand has a fantastic alternative without compromising on any of the scents or benefits, I can honestly say that my skin has improved dramatically since using Korres products and I wanted to share this with all of you.

Korres can be found here and purchased online here.

Did you know…?
Parabens are chemicals used in cosmetics as preservatives. Recently, scientists have raised awareness that they might cause cancer in the long run. As a result, personal care companies are shifting to natural preservatives such as grapefruit seed.
