Some also use the skin rescue remedy cream to moisturise and others use a combination of all three. Everybody’s skin is different and so is their type and variation of psoriasis so we suggest you try both the lotion bar and cream to see what combination works best for your skin.

  • What do people use for scalp psoriasis, itchy scalp, dandruff?
Our customers find the natural shampoo bar brilliant. You can find the directions on the website for how to use it to get the best results
  • What do people use for acne?
Our customers use either the charcoal soap or the tea tree soap in conjunction with the skin rescue remedy cream. For best results wash morning and night with the soap and use a tiny amount of the cream to moisturise. The cream is extremely rich and will prevent any scaring and also feed the skin with nourishing vitamins

The skin "may" get a little worse before it gets better but then it will balance itself out and produce the correct amount of oils for healthy glowing skin

It is important not to use anything else on the skin (especially wipes) to give this combination a chance to work

    • Do you still have a shop in Wells House in Wexford?
    No. I sensed an energy shift was coming in 2020 and decided we need to concentrate all our attention on our online shop. We built our own eco friendly production kitchen in the cottage garden in the summer of 2019 and closed the production kitchen shop in Wells House on new years eve 2019.
