Love that her beauty regimen is so minimalistic. Lucky that she gets a big bottle of Argan oil. Share some!

hooray for Kate! so many times on this blog and others, an expensive, luxe product is touted for its magical, word-of-mouth properties (and sometimes sensuous feel or fragrance), but what it actually contains is known to be harmful to the skin, or at least potentially irritant and/or not beneficial. We as consumers covet what those with great style and glowing skin advocate, without questioning whether such a product can really give us that. Not being as monetarily wealthy as many of those featured on this blog, I'd rather save my hard-earned dollars for what is proven (through the evidence base) to be effective, or at least not considered to cause harm. It's always good to educate ourselves and check ingredients rather than willfully close our eyes and purchase in the hopes of becoming more like those who use the product in some way! If only these potions were so magical! That said, Emily does a great and skillful job with this blog in creating something elegant, intriguing, and voyeuristically fun.

Kate, with reference to linalool- it is actually a naturally occurring chemical found it lots of plants and flowers and is therefore present in a huge number of natural skincare products. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the UK we have to legally list this and other chemical constituents found in essential oils such as limonene and coumarin as a small number of people are allergic to them. It *can* be extracted from the original oil and used as a cheap fragrance alternative in other products, but if you see it listed next to a bunch of essential/natural oils then chances are it's a component of one of them. I totally agree that we should stop bandying words like 'natural' and 'organic' about and I think it's really important that people educate themselves about ingredients that they're putting on their bodies, but everything is made from chemicals, even rose or lavender absolutes and in a lot of countries these days it's a legal requirement to list these ingredients in their chemical form, so it's just as important that we learn the difference between a 'synthetic' ingredient and a naturally occurring 'chemical'.

I love the fact that she admits to her youthfulness. I often get mistaken for younger too (even though I'm well into my twenties), and I know how annoying it can sometimes be. I love her simple regime as well. Ashley The I on Fashion www.theionfashion.com www.facebook.com/theionfashion

I think it is important that we know what we really put on our faces. So, thumbs up for Kate! I do think we are not quite aware of the harm we are doing to our skins while we think we care for it.

Wha??? Tell me more. I'm currently having a love affair with Olio Lusso...where did you find the ingredients list? Why are those ingredients bad? Agreed, this blog isn't about organic or natural products, particularly (whatever those words even mean), but if we're going to use those terms let's be smart!
