This organic beauty brand for sensitive skin has already obtained a celebrity fan club - Natalie Portman named Pai in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar as her favourite beauty product and Sara Cywinski’s book ‘Kate: Style Princess’ recommends Pai for achieving the Middleton’s iconic glowing complexion.*(1) All Pai products are certified and formulated in-house by the founder, Sarah Brown
According to aficionados at Pai, one in ten adults*(1) suffer from skin sensitivity. Sensitive skin can be extremely reactive and easily irritated. The ingredients Pai use have proven remedial and skin soothing properties and are suitable for sensitive and even hyper-sensitive skin types.
We tested Pai’s: Chamomile and Rosehip Sensitive Skin Cream and Comfrey & Calendula Calming Body Cream.
CHAMOMILE AND ROSEHIP
SENSITIVE SKIN CREAM £26.00 - 30ml
CP REVIEW: “A light natural scent to this cream, which is good news for those with skin sensitivities, plus it’s free from alcohol which can trigger conditions such as Rosacea. The chamomile and rosehip contain anti-oxidants and Omega 3s which can help soothe and protect the face. It is a nice consistency and easily absorbed into the skin. Non irritating, just simple and gentle.”

CP REVIEW: “Lovely thick cream which encases your skin with calendula and comfrey, perfect accompaniments to soothe aggravated and dry skin. It absorbs slowly, richly, as if gradually working its way into the skin before plumping it back up with hydration. Skin feels noticeably soft to the touch and nurtured. A definite recommendation for sensitive, itchy skins.”
All Pai products are free from alcohol, artificial fragrance, synthetic preservatives and petrochemicals

Last but not least, to keep your hair fresh, shiny and care- free treat yourself to a really good natural shampoo and conditioner. CP tried FUSHI’S Balance & Lift Herbal Shampoo and their Stimulate & Balance Hair Conditioner.
FUSHI BALANCE & LIFT HERBAL SHAMPOO, FOR
NORMAL TO GREASY HAIR. PRICE: £13.22
Fushi’s balancing shampoo is designed to tone and refresh the scalp, balancing sebum production. The astringent action of witch hazel, lemon, lime and cedar-wood helps to tighten and tone the scalp, whilst the refreshing and stimulating action of peppermint, combined with grape seed oil, helps to balance grease production.
“Ideal for fine hair with just enough humectants to keep it moisturised but still light enough to leave the bounce. Fushi’s fragrance is not overpowering, you can only get a scent of it, if you take a whiff out of the shampoo bottle or hold a strand of hair directly under your nose, but that in itself can be strangely addictive. A soft, gentle shampoo that leaves the hair clean without feeling heavy.”
