With its subtle chamomile scent, Botáni Olive Hand Cream is great way for blokes to treat their 'hard working' hands too.

What others are saying…

This is one of favourite stories of everyone at Botáni.

I tried the Botani Olive Hand Cream at a time where my volunteer wildlife care duties were just mad. I had dry, red and sore hands from constant washing and tiny scratches from my little ones. My hands really were in a terrible state but even after only a few days of consistent use of the Botani hand cream the improvement was out of sight. I have continued to use it regularly at home and work in the lab.

Recently in an effort to find completely natural rehydrating skin products for little pinkie joeys I tried the hand cream. The little one loved it and her skin remained hydrated but not oily or clogged. It can be quite difficult to find an all natural and gentle moisturiser for such young and delicate skin ...

Thank you for giving us such a wonderful chemical free option

Using Botáni skin care products on your skin, of course, will be highly beneficial and help you work towards having glowing skin. But there is more to it than that. If you really want good results, you must look at what you are eating. The skin is a reflection of what is happening inside.

I know that you have heard many times what you shouldn't be eating and you have a general idea of what a good diet is. But what are the Super Skin Foods, which will help to give your skin a real boost in the right direction.

Of course, we know that Olive Oil is good for the skin, externally, but it is also good internally. Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for cooking, as a dressing for salad and instead of butter.

Fish, fish, fish. Try for 3 serves a week. Deep sea fish has an abundance of essential fatty acids, which your skin (and your whole body) will love. If your taste buds don't agree, take a good quality fish oil or flaxseed supplement. EFA's are anti-inflammatory and help to hydrate the skin keeping it moist. So eat up, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis etc. Salmon, is one of the best options.

	A regular serving of Berries, blueberries are one of the best, will do you a world of good. Not only do the antioxidants help to maintain good skin health and help reduce premature
ageing, they also reduce damage from the environment and the sun. Antioxidants fight off free radicals which cause damage and aging to the whole body. So a bowl of berries, 2-3 times a week, (even frozen ones) will help you stay young, fit and healthy.

Spinach and other green leafy veg, such as broccoli, are full of antioxidants and nutrients which help to keep you healthy inside and out. The nutrients help guard against damage from the sun and beta-carotene and lutein, help to improve skin elasticity and firmness.

Oysters, full of zinc, help with cell renewal and repair. Zinc is an important nutrient to keep your skin, hair and nails healthy and beautiful.

Water, Ok, water isn't a food, but we need to drink plenty of it, if we want beautiful skin. Water helps to keep the body clean and flushes out toxins. Without it, your body will try to remove toxins anyway it can - through the skin! Your skin will also be dry and dehydrated and your will age prematurely. As you know the body is made up of 70% water and if you don't drink enough, then the body will use every drop it can to protect your inner organs. You Have you noticed that in this time of drought, when the trees can't get enough water, their leaves start to die off…..that's the equivalent of your skin…it will start to whither.

There are so many other foods that are great for keeping your skin healthy and beautiful. The simple things to remember are to choose food that is in its natural state and as fresh as possible, therefore in season. When you are planning your meals, think colour! If you meals include lots of different naturally colourful food, then you are getting a good variety of nutrients that will help maintain your health both inside and out.
