It’s a new certification that

businesses receive when they

meet the highest standards

of environmental impact,

transparency, worker wellbeing

and balance of profit with

purpose. Buy from these

companies and your money

will be used for good.

1

Take a teaspoon of cornflour and mix

it with fresh lemon juice for a smooth,

thick paste, working quickly. Cornflour will

help draw out excess oil while the lemon

juice is an astringent, minimising pores

and shrinking the skin cells. Beware if you

have an open wound, the lemon will sting.

2

Add a drop of essential oil to suit

your skin type. Please note if you are

pregnant (first trimester) or trying for a

baby it is best to avoid essential oils.

3

Apply the paste to the blemish

immediately, allowing it to set to a

matte finish. Keep it on for as long as

possible before rinsing with warm water.
