About Emma

I started experiencing symptoms of Rosacea in 2012 and have been learning to live with it ever since. Having Rosacea has massively shaped the way I think about my skincare and dietary habits. I'm London based, obsessed with green tea and passionate about skincare and wellbeing.

🌿DIY face mask time 🌿 ✔️rhassoul clay ✔️matcha powder ✔️maca powder Add a little water and mix into a paste. Leave for ten minutes on clean skin. This mask is full of lovely anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant and skin rejuvenating benefits. Did you know that maca is said to help prevent sun damage when applied topically...? A great (and inexpensive) ingredient to try in your own masks this summer perhaps! Especially if you’re off on your holibobs☀️💁🏼‍♀️🌿 • • • #herbsandherbs #diyfacemask #diynatural #naturalhealing #macapowder #rhassoul #rhassoulclay #matcha #matchamask #naturalremedies #naturalskincare #facemaskrecipe #facemasklover #facemaskmonday #30plusblogs #skincarebloggers #beauty #skincarediary #aromatherapyskincare #iloveskincare #30plusbloggers #rosacea #acne #greenbeauty #vegan

The generosity some people can show is extremely heart warming. I was kindly gifted this facial oil and a body oil a little while back by Maia. It came with a hand written card explaining that these were for me to enjoy on my travels (or before!) and I did just that. The classic beauty oil, as it’s officially known, is bloomin’ gorg and I wanted to share it with you guys because I think Maia deserves recognition for her beautiful handmade skincare. I took the facial oil with me to India and used it pretty much every night before bed after a long day in the sun. First of all the smell. The SMELL. So so good. The waft of geranium that comes through is amazing. The oil itself felt great on my skin and I loved knowing that it was helping to repair and restore my skin after a day out and about. Complexion looked and felt happy the next morning and it definitely helped reduce redness in patches where I sometimes see it on my cheeks due to rosacea. For the like minded skincare geeks out there this oil is packed full of nourishing and healing ingredients like 🌿rosehip, 🌿frankincense, 🌿sweet almond oil and 🌿geranium. Maia makes her own all-natural toxin free skincare, how amazing is she? Can’t recommend this oil enough. Thank you @hbymaia 💁🏼‍♀️🌿 • • • #herbsandherbs #hbymaia #facialoil #naturalskincare #toxinfree #veganskincare #botanicaloils #supportsmallbusiness #rosaceaskincare #beautyoil #naturalremedies #aromatherapy #rosehipoil #frankincenseoil #geranium #illoveskincare #skincarebloggers #30plusblogs #wellbeing #facialskincare #cleanbeauty #beautycommunity #naturalskincareroutine

Found me some rose water in Pushkar market yesterday. This region is well known for rose farming so I just had to seek out something rose inspired or else it would have been scandalous of me 🌿 - As most will already know I love rose and what it can do for the skin- calming, soothing, moisturising and redness reducing to name but a few properties. I really recommend it for anyone with irritable or dry skin. Or if you have rosacea like me- it’s great! - Went for a drink at a rooftop cafe shortly after wandering around the market and this place had the most colourful of walls so I decided it was time for an impromptu photo shoot... et voilá 💁🏼‍♀️🌿 • • • #herbsandherbs #rosewater #rose #rosewatertoner #naturalremedies #naturesbest #rosacea #rosaceaskincare #rosacearelief #sensitiveskin #holidayskincare #skincarebloggers #iloveskincare #30plusblogs #rosaceablogger #sootheskin #aromatherapy #aromatherapyskincare #naturalskincare #india🇮🇳 #indiaholiday

What a trip so far. Stayed in Delhi for three days and wow, sensory overload. The roads.. the driving (literally oh my god the crazy driving) the amount of noise! Not for the faint hearted. And then a few hours away from all the hustle and bustle there was the Taj Mahal. Seeing it up close was quite surreal. I was there for sunrise (I’m talking 5.30am in the morning after a 4 hour drive down from Delhi...) and it was pretty magical. So quiet too as there was hardly anyone there at that time. Fun fact: the Taj has slowly been discolouring over the years due to pollution and they’ve been cleaning it using a special mud mask- see...even the Taj Mahal loves a good skincare routine. Question is, where can i find some of this mud? 💁🏼‍♀️🌿 • • • #herbsandherbs #travelgram #india🇮🇳 #tajmahal #tajmahalagra #agra #seetheworld #travels #30plusblogs #traveltheworld #india_gram #delhi #ilovetravel #wellness #wellbeing #namaste

After a fun bout of breakouts (I blame my birthday celebrations and Paris 🥂🍷) my skincare regime has been focused on calming that angry face of mine & encouraging scarring to fade - To encourage my skin to heal, prevent further break outs and to refresh that ol’ complexion I made up a lovely face mask last night. 🌿1 heaped tsp of the @skinandtonicldn Detox clay mask 🌿1 drop of @nealsyardremedies geranium essential oil. 🌿I turned the clay into a paste by infusing some of the @alchimiethe Eczema Relief blend in hot water for 10 minutes before adding approx 1 tbsp of the infusion to the clay (I drank the rest 💁🏼‍♀️) - 💦 I’ve also completely cut out coffee for the last week...and cheese. AND no more 🍷 I mainly drink green tea & matcha as we all know anyway...but I must admit the occasional flat white does give me joy and cheese is cheese so...Anyway, lots of H20 for me! - Skin is getting there. The breakouts have stopped and the old ones are much calmer. Why does my skin hate all the good things in life? 💁🏼‍♀️🌿 • • • #herbsandherbs #naturalremedies #naturalskincare #diyfacemask #herbalremedies #claymask #detox #herbalinfusion #iloveskincare #greenbeauty #crueltyfreeskincare #veganskincare #wellness #bloglovin #flatlaystyle #wellbeing #herbalblends #skinandtoniclondon #rejuvenation #skincareroutine #skincareblogger #rosacea #rosaceaskincare #acne #breakoutskin
