The inclusion of Chamomile Flower oil also helps to reduce the spread of inflammation and helps with allergic reactions. It is so hydrating and can be used both morning and night. I find it really preps my skin for moisturiser or face oil. It’s great value as you get 200mls and I only use 1 pump.
You will find the hydrating Multi Juice micellar water with the easy no fuss pump dose packaging. It can pump out a full dose or as little as you want.

]]>Opal silica is one of the most important trace elements in our body and is crucial for healthy hair, nails and skin. It will protect your heart health by reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. This mineral can also support your immune response, and help to control inflammation in the body.
Research has shown that opal silica restores and repairs the collagen in our body for strong bones, thicker hair and clearer skin.
Diatomaceous earth is made up of 94% opal silica, making it a far richer source than any beauty supplement on the market and is an essential building block for hair. A lack of silica in your diet can damage the quality of your hair and end your hair's growth cycle. Without enough silica your hair will continue to thin in just a few weeks.
Silica has been shown to stimulate hair growth. Our hair is made up of 90% silica, so it would make sense that it's thirsty for the stuff. Taking just 1 dose of food-grade Diatomaceous Earth daily gives you enough silica to support healthy, strong hair.
Just by adding one teaspoon daily (make sure it's food grade diatomaceous earth) in fresh water or juice on an empty stomach will improve your hair quality. Always ensure you're drinking plenty of water afterwards and throughout the day to stay hydrated. You can also purchase the Supercharged Food Love Your Gut powder or tablets right here at Econique.
All the best on your healthy hair restoration programme.

Magnesium flakes are made with nothing but the purest form of naturally occurring magnesium (magnesium chloride) to help relax tired, aching muscles.
Magnesium is a mighty mineral that plays a role in many biochemical reactions in our body, from converting our food into energy, to helping our muscles contract and relax. When our stores of magnesium are depleted we can experience fatigue, muscle cramps, mental health conditions like anxiety and even irregular heartbeat. Magnesium deficiency is also linked to osteoporosis. Other more worrying signs include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens numbness in the extremities becomes a common symptom.
Magnesium oil is a magic healing liquid that you can apply topically it's absorbed through your skin like magnesium flakes. Rubbing the magnesium oil over sore and tired muscles is an easy way to deliver relaxing magnesium to wherever you feel it’s needed, whether that’s restless legs or a sore neck and shoulders. It's great for nerve pain associated with neuralgia or multiple sclerosis MS. The symptoms improve instantly after rubbing and massaging the oil into your skin.
Magnesium supplements, as well as topical magnesium products, work together to heal and strengthen our bodies. Magnesium cream found in the Amazing Oils magnesium moisturiser is an organic formula that helps to soften fine lines caused by dryness by lightly exfoliating and detoxing your skin. The concentration of magnesium can also help to balance pH levels in the skin and reduce the appearance of sun spots and pigmentation. Fix My Face is a full-bodied, luxurious product, ideal for mature skin or applied as an overnight treatment mask cream.
