What: Team Dr. Joseph Daily Vitalizing Eye Treatment
Why: And another one from Team Dr. Joseph, one of my favourite organic skincare brands. This is a wonderful eye cream: rich and intensively moisturising, and at the same time sinks into my skin immediately. Love it!
Green Factor: Yes, yes, yes!
Where: Adler Mountain Lodge, Alpi di Siusi (I)
What: Ringana Tooth Oil
Why: When you once start checking the list of ingredients of ordinary tooth paste, it scares the hell out of you, which is why I was looking for an alternative. This tooth oil is based on the tradition of the ayurvedic oil-pulling and sucks the toxins out of your mouth, leaving behind a clean, antiseptic oral environment. My teeth have even become whiter and my gums have greatly improved.

What: Tata Harper Replenishing Nutrient Complex
Why: I pretty much love every single product I’ve tried so far from Tata Harper. They’re *a-ma-zing*!! And this facial oil may even be my favourite. It just gives my skin that extra oomph to look healthy, glowing and dewy all day long.

What: Cowshed Apricot Nourishing Cuticle Oil
Why: I love, love, love Cowshed. Starting from the hilarious product names (check out their range!), the cool packaging, and in particular, the seriously high quality of all their products.

What: Lavera Revitalising Body Lotion Organic Orange & Seabuckthorn

What: Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask
Why: I got to know the power of the antibacterial manuka honey when travelling in New Zealand. So, when I heard about a manuka honey face mask, I had to try it. Intensely moisturising, cleansing, antioxidising *and* it’s organic *and* it smells amazing. Will definitely buy again!
