I have extremely sensitive skin and finding a shaving product that doesn’t cause me irritation can be a bit of challenge.  So when I was asked to try out Bulldog Shave Gel I was a bit weary.  First impressions were good, the packaging is simple but fun and yes as I am not a “geography teacher or a communist revolutionary”,  one of the comments on the packaging, I do need to shave.   It also isn’t too big so will comfortably fit into a travel bag.  I have to get up for work at 6am and have my daily shave so smell is important as I really don’t want anything too in your face before I have had my daily hit of caffeine.  I found that Bulldog Shave Gel was very refreshing, I think it is  the rosemary, eucalyptus, bergamot and peppermint oils that are found in this product, it certainly helped waked me up but wasn’t over powering.

Bulldog shaving gel lathers up very well it is a clear gel I am used to a white foam but do not find this to be a problem.  It left my face smooth and soft and allowed the razor to glide smoothly so I was left with no irritation.  This is an unusual experience for me when changing shaving gels so I think it might be time to put my Nivea products to bed and replace them with Bulldog.  Bulldog shaving gel is also reasonably priced something I was not expecting from a natural product, so yes my girlfriend was right ditching the chemicals does not leave a hefty dent in my wallet.  Andy, Cheltenham

From about the age of 14, my dream was to become a doctor. Circumstances prevented me from pursuing that dream so I became a computer programmer instead! After many years, I felt the need to realise my original yen to work with and help people, so I began studying aromatherapy. I qualified as an aromatherapist in 1996. I started to give massages in the evenings and over weekends alongside my regular job and then went on to obtain a degree in psychology. I often used to put together cream or oil blends for my clients to use at home for a whole host of conditions such as eczema, bronchitis, sinusitis, arthritis etc. The feedback was wonderful! ‘You’re a natural,’ they said. ‘Why not start a business?’ I have used many of my recipes on my daughter from early on – she’s now eight years old – as she has suffered from eczema and chest infections frequently.

After 20 years in the computer industry, I decided to heed my inner self and turn my passion into my aromatherapy business. That’s how Kalya was born. I use only the finest-quality essential oils and creams, all of which are supplied by Aqua Oleum here in Stroud where I live.

Kalya’s byline: ‘Family care the natural way’, is reflected in my range of products, which consists of:

Kalya Skin Soothe – for dry and cracked skin (especially those annoying cracks around the fingernails in winter!), eczema and psoriasis

Kalya Joint Soothe

Kalya Breathe Easy

Kalya Speak Easy

Kalya Energise Oil

Kalya Relax Oil

Kalya Relax Cream

In February I will be launching Sleep Easy, which has been in the test phase for the past six months. With its gentle combination of Neroli, Lavender and Chamomile, a small amount rubbed into the temples, the wrists and even the feet enables one to relax and let go of the stresses of the day and to drift off to sleep.

We have added Simply Gentle Organic Cotton Wool Products onto Skin Nutrition.  Simply Gentle offers 100% organic cotton wool products that are certified Organic by the UK Soil Association.  Simply Gentle was the first cotton wool producer to hold Organic status from the Soil Association.  Since then, Simply Gentle has become the first UK manufacturing company to achieve registration against the International Standard for Social Accountability. Cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed crops.  Over 25% off all insecticides are used in the growth of conventional cotton, which has a devastating effect on our environment.  We felt this was the right range of organic cotton products to offer our customers so you can buy your cotton wool essentials safe in the knowledge that Simply Gentle are doing all they can to minimise their impact on the environment.  Simply Gentle Organic Cotton Pads are perfect for use with any makeup removers.
