The East London based apothecary Guy Morgan shares a quick and easy remedy for skin that’s been drowning in the blue glow of a computer screen
Taking a cue from his botanist mother, Guy Morgan has been blending organic ingredients to create skincare products since his teens. The rest, he says, is the result of ‘lots of reading and lots of trying and failing.’– left his day job two years ago to focus full-time on his range, handmade in a portioned-off part of his kitchen. Each jar contains a mix of ethically sourced vegan and wild-grown ingredients that promise lasting results.
His best-selling product is a regenerative Baobab & Shea Butter moisturiser laced with Rosehip Seed Oil. A golden yellow ointment that melts in the palm, ‘it has the appearance of a normal cream moisturiser but it has no filler.’ With this, a sedentary day at home can be bookended with a dab of opulence. ‘This is a chance for us to pay more attention to our skin. It’s one of the few things we have control over at the moment.
Exclusively for Wallpaper*, Morgan has prepared a recipe for a nourishing Alligator Pear Face Mask made using easily found ingredients. 1.1/4 avocado – moisturising and full of vitamins A and D and phytosterols that will help calm itchy and inflamed skin3.1 tsp honey – amazing anti-bacterial qualities. Both sugar and honey act as a humectant, drawing moisture from the environment into the skinMash avocado and combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
For an exfoliating and brightening face mask, replace avocado with mashed-up fresh pineapple. Pineapple contains the enzyme, bromelain. These enzymes break down protein, making the mask exfoliate the dead skin from the surface, leaving your face fresh and glowing. §
