Scent of success
It’s fair to say that Land of Roses is a unique shop – in
fact the owners of the Ryde-based business describe
it as “a magical fairy land”, where customers can
immerse themselves in the fragrant world of roses.
The shop’s speciality is authentic
100% pure Bulgarian Rose oil,
along with a selection of natural
cosmetic products with Rose oil.
Bulgarian Rose oil is the most
precious of essential oils - not only
extremely pure and non-toxic,
but world-famous for its exquisite
scent. Rose oil has very strong
antibacterial, anti-inflammatory
and anti-wrinkle properties,
and is one of the most effective
natural anti-ageing products. It
can even improve the condition
of burnt skin, scars, stretch marks,
whilst Rose water soothes skin
irritations, heals acne and is
very suitable for sensitive skin.
Damaskina Nature is the
newest cosmetic line, stocked
by Land of Roses. These
are 100% natural products,
totally free from preservatives,
parabens and mineral oils,
and not tested on animals.
The long-lasting CC Cream
Damaskina has SPF15 and is
perfect for sunny days. It ensures
even complexion, looking natural
both on light and medium dark
skin. The triple active face mask is
great for pampering your skin twice
a week. It is a delicate combination,
equipped with the power of three
exfoliants, which gently smooth
the skin and add a fresh lustre.

Keeping safe in the sun
Now that our long-
awaited summer finally
seems to have arrived,
it’s time to think about
suncreams and skin
protection again.
With so many different creams
on the market, all varying in SPF
value and UVA/UVB, where do
we begin? Sometimes it can feel
like a minefield and without
knowing the ins and outs, are
we sure we are getting the
best protection for our skin?
Your best bet is to choose a
suncream with a ‘broad spectrum’
SPF label which protects against
both UVA and UVB rays (both of
which contribute to skin cancer,
while the latter causes sunburn).
It is also worth remembering that
SPF numbers refer specifically
to the amount of
timed protection it
offers but it is always
recommended to top
up your suncream
every hour, especially
if you are in and
out of the water.
If you’re planning a
summer getaway or
enjoying the beautiful
Island this summer,
you will need to think
about sun protection
for yourself and your family.
At Anu, we have done our
research and have chosen to stock
a variety of Green People brand
suncreams in both SPF30 and
SPF50 in handy travel sizes and
larger sizes all ready to pack for
your summer getaways. We have
your little ones covered too, with
Green People’s 100% organic
suncreams for their protection
and your peace of mind. With safe,
non toxic UV filters and a blend
of antioxidant-rich Green Tea,
Edelweiss and Rosemary you can
naturally protect your whole family
from the sun this summer, leaving
you free to have fun and relax.
