Autumn is here! With all the beautiful colours and colder weather I want to snuggle up with my big cardigans and a cup of tea. As I change into Autumn, I tend to change some things in my beauty routine too. Here are some of my favourite Autumn products. 

Hösten är här! Med alla vackra färger och kallare väder vill jag bara mysa med mina stora Cardigans och en stor kopp te. När jag byter till höst, ändrar jag även en del av min beauty rutin. Här är några av mina favorit höstprodukter. 

Botanicals - spa detox body oil

I think it's the aromatic scent of fennel, lavender and mint that makes it perfect for autumn. It makes the skin smooth. I love applying it straight after a hot bath. 

Jag tror det är den aromatiska doften av fänkål, lavendel och mint som gör den perfekt för hösten. Det gör huden len. Jag gillar att applicera den direkt efter ett varmt bad. 

MOA - green bath potion

Talking about baths. My favourite bath oil is from MOA (Modern Organic Apothecary). With a wonderful blend of ingredients like fennel, mint and fir needles, which makes this a relaxing and invigorating experience that clears your mind. 

På prat om bad. Min favourite olja är från MOA (Modern Organic Apothecary). Med en fantastisk blandning av ingredienser som fänkål, mint och barr, vilket gör det till ett avslappnade och uppfriskande upplevelse som får tankarna att klarna. 

Herbfarmacy - replenishing face cream

I've just recently started to use this face cream and a full review is coming soon. But I felt right away that this is perfect for Autumn. The cream is rich and it's one of those creams you just know is amazing the second you apply it on the skin. It's super hydrating so perfect for colder weather. 

Jag har precis börjat använda denna ansiktskräm och en recension kommer snart. Men jag kände på en gång att den är perfekt för hösten. Krämen är dryg och det är en av de krämer som man bara vet att den är fantastisk sekunden man smörjer in den på huden. Den är super återfuktande så perfekt för kallare väder. 

Botanicals - revitalising mask

A wonderful face mask, with rose clay and rosehip. It makes the skin feel and look clean and fresh. Read my review here. 

En underbar ansiktsmask med roslera   och nypon. Den får min hud att kännas och se ren och fräsch ut. Läs min recension här. 

Ermana - renew face oil

Another beautiful product I recently discovered. The oil feels great on the skin right away. The scent of neroli and ylang-ylang feels soothing and skin feels hydrating and smooth. 

En annan fin product som jag nyligen upptäckt. Oljan känns fantastisk på huden på en gång. Doften av neroli och ylang-ylang känns lugnande och huden känns återfuktad och len.

How To: Braided Updo Hairstyle Tutorial | Sara Steele

Today I'm doing a braided updo hairstyle. It's perfect if you want to put your hair up for a party or any special occasion. It's easier than you think.

First clip away the front section of your hair. Depending on how much you want to the side. If you like it loose and messy you'll need more hair or if like me I mainly will have my fringe and just a small section of hair to the side. It's all personal preference.

Then do a section of the side of your hair and clip away rest of the hair for now.

With your side section make a Dutch plait adding more hair as you work yourself down the plait. For more detail of a Dutch plait watch my video here: http://youtu.be/nVPwdcHv8h0

To make the plait look bigger pull the sides of the plait from top to bottom.

Make three pony tails and back comb in small sections to add extra volume.

Take each small section and  roll  it around your finger and pin them up. Leave the ponytail nearest to the plait for now.

Now pin the plait to the back.

Then to pin up the last section to cover the end of the plait.

Lastly we are now pinning the front section to the side. Make sure you don't pin the hair over the braid. You can make the hair hanging loose or tight. It's up to you and how you like it.

Finish off with some hairspray man feel free to accessorise.

For this hairstyle I used

• Bobby pins from hair tools
• Pin tail comb from Lotus
• Elastic bands from Sally's

How many beauty products I use in a day and the importance of choosing organic and natural

Today is a short post to just remind you of how important it is to choose organic beauty products. 

Yesterday I counted how many products I put on my body in one day. So everything from shampoo, cleansers, lotions, serums etc.

Guess how many? 

21 products. In one day I put 21 products on my hair and skin. I was surprised myself. I don't even see myself as a product junkie. I know some days I use less and some days more depending on the day. When I realised I was so happy I only use natural and organic products.

Our skin is our biggest organ and it absorbs everything we put on it. This is why it's so important to use natural and organic ingredients. Avoid all toxic products. Your skin absorbing all these harmful ingredients that's not good for your health or the environment. If you want to read more about why choosing organic beauty products read my post about it here http://www.sarasteele.co.uk/2015/03/why-should-i-use-organic-beauty-products.html?m=1
