I am lucky to have been blessed with good skin thanks to the genetics passed down from my Nana.
Perimenopause hit in my late 40s, and everything changed with my skin, not just my face, but over my whole body. On my face, I started to get the odd spot, something I’d never had even as a teenager.
My legs started to look like the bed of a dried-up old river. Nothing, and I mean nothing, worked long-term. My skin would look and feel OK for a few hours, but OK wasn’t enough.
I discovered Dalia Botanique when I saw someone talking about the products on their Instagram story. I ordered the facial serum and a body oil and was immediately hooked. My beauty regime now includes the facial serum, body oil, cleansing oil, shampoo bar, hand cream, HydraRenew moisturiser, facial mist and glow, and protect cream. It’s fair to say that I’m a massive fan girl when it comes to these products.

My hair is softer than it has ever been since using the shampoo bar. A bonus is that it doesn’t give my grey hair a brassy tone like many other shampoos do. It’s gentle enough that I can use it every day, but also cleans my hair so well that I don’t need to wash it every day if I don’t want to.
My face is washed morning and night using the cleansing oil. I use the facial serum every night and depending on whether I am outside or inside, I will use either the facial serum or the glow and protect cream during the day. I’ve had compliments on how good my skin is looking since using these products, and I don’t need a full face of make-up anymore to have glowing skin.
For the past 10 days or so, I have been using the Orange Blosson mist after the cleansing oil and before the glow and protect cream with SPF30 (morning) or the mushroom & ceramide face cream (night). It's the step to my skincare routine that I never knew I needed. My skin feels refreshed and the skin tighter after a quick spray on my face. As an added bonus it smells divine too.
After my shower, I apply the body oil, which I love so much, I have every scent. It sinks in fast sealing in the moisture into my skin. At last, my legs no longer look like dried-up river beds!
As a nurse, and keen gardener, I use masses of the hand cream. It sinks in quickly, leaving no greasy residue, just super soft hands. The solid scrub bar is great for getting my hands clean after a day in the garden.
Despite most of Dalia’s products being oil based I never feel that my skin is greasy, which is great because that’s a sensation that I don’t like. I travel a fair bit, and the travel size bottles of cleanser and serum are perfect for taking away with me without taking up too much space. I would 100% recommend these products. They’ve transformed my beauty regime, and as an added bonus I get to support a small British business.
