While I love getting my bod covered in natural beauty goodies in the name of research, it's good to let the experts loose on the latest 'hippy' products every so often to see how they measure up. Burts Bees is one label that's recently extended its natrual range to compete with the more chemical-laden anti-aging potions and lotions lately, so our friends at Kiss & Makeup asked beauty expert Ashlene McCormack to put their Naturally Ageless serum (£26.99) to the test.

I've raved about Skinny Skinny's bath salts before -- a real treat if you like products so natural you could almost have made them yourself, if you had the time and inclination to do so!
Since then, I've also had the chance to try their soaps, which are also a fantastic, eco-friendly treat for the senses...
