It was during my first trip to Africa in 2009. I spent several weeks in a remote village on Lake Malawi. I lived with the villagers in a mud hut without any electricity, running water or sanitation as we know I and I loved it.
One day, I sat by the lake just watching the local villagers. I suddenly noticed that they were using fine grains of sand, that lined the shore of the lake, to rub all over their bodies to exfoliate and condition their skin.They then took natural rocks and stones to remove the hard skin from their feet and bathed in the lake… then I realised what I really wanted to do with my life. At that moment the idea was born..So, on my return to the UK, I set about this long arduous journey to formulate a collection of high quality natural and organic skin care products, and in late 2011, Althea Tomlin Skincare was born.

I love reading about celebrities and how they look after their skin. Many celebrities and skin care experts know that vitamin rich natural skin care products are effective at fighting ageing skin and can take years of you, if you use them regularly.
In fact, the buzz in Hollywood is that fillers are out and high performance natural skincare routines are in. Vitamin rich skincare products are great for your skin as they provide the vital nutrients that your skin needs and are excellent for treating wrinkles, age spots, dry skin and dark circles under the eyes.
Here are 5 of the most powerful anti-aging vitamins used by celebrities.
It's not just celebrities that can achieve that clear, toned, body glow, you can too, without too much trouble and without spending a bucket load of money on the latest celebrity body scrub. The way to acheive this natural body glow is through all year round regular body exfoliation.
Body exfoliation should be part of your regular skin care routine and not just for weddings, special occasions or at Christmas and here's why?
Celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Jo-Lo, Halle Berry, Beyoncè and Jennifer Aniston, all have one thing in common, their gorgeous flawless skin.
They all adopted a regular skincare routine in their 20's, which included moisturising their skin religiously in the morning and at night.

My husband's friend was driving my friend and I to the shops recently, when suddenly at full speed another driver pulled out in front of our car and continued to drive eratically in front of us. My friend's husband said calmly and quietly '' why do some people make driving look so difficult when it's not''?, we both laughed and then I started to think about our skin and all the confusion and complicated messages that are around about how best to look after your skin, when really it's quiet simple.
I follow certain celebrities who have consistently had great looking skin. I really admire Halle Berry, as she looks great at 47, with or without make up and also my mother who has great looking skin too. They both share the same simple skin care routine and have done so for many years.

I first met Nasa is 2010, on my second trip Malawi. I was staying with friends and on arrival Nasa was there to greet me with the biggest, brightest smile I'd ever seen. She quickly removed my heavy suitcase from my hand and just said 'welcome'. Over the following days, I noticed that Nasa (in the red African dress), who was 12 and much smaller than her age, was doing everything around the home.
As I observed her during the first few day, she seem to spend her days fetching water, cooking, shopping and cleaning, but some how she never seem to go to school. After a few days, I asked my friend why she did not go to school. |

It's hard to imagine that after all these years I am beginning to realise my dream of starting my own skincare business. I am so excited about the journey I have made so far and even more excited about the future. It all started in 2008, I was at a place in my life where I was in turmoil and I had to make some serious decisions in both my personal and work life, which, if I am honest I did not want to have to make. I am a mother of two young men, at the time they were teenagers, going through growing up and in the middle of their exams. |
