"  Ella Woodward aka Deliciously Ella has been at the forefront of the clean eating movement for the past three years. She&amp;#039;s conquered social media with over \u00A3912k Instagram followers, she has two recipe books to her name and she even has a successful restaurant, the Mae Deli, should you be too lazy to cook yourself. This month, Woodward is turning her talents to skincare and launching two products with Neal&amp;#039;s Yard Remedies. Bazaar caught up with the food guru to find out more\u2026 Why did you choose rose, lime and cucumber specifically? In my first meeting with the Neal&amp;#039;s Yard Remedies formulations team, they asked me what I wanted from a skincare range. Radiance and a natural glow were key, but I wanted the products to smell beautiful and feel great on my skin, as well as being easy-to-use. We worked on a &amp;#039;shopping list&amp;#039; of ingredients and I chose the ones which resonated with me most. Lots of the ingredients I chose were my favourite foods in the kitchen, which I know have amazing benefits for the skin when used topically. Tumeric is great for radiance, acai and blueberries are packed with antioxidants, which I am forever throwing into my smoothies and cucumber is really moisturising and adds a gorgeous freshness to the scent \u2013 ideal for waking you up in the morning. I&amp;#039;ve always loved the scent of rose, it&amp;#039;s just the most beautiful scent, if you open my bathroom cupboard \u2013 everything is rose scented.  Have you always used organic skincare or did it develop with your interest for food? I hadn&amp;#039;t really thought much about it until I changed my lifestyle about five years ago. At that point, I started eating more natural foods and thinking about what I was putting into my body a few years ago, and as that interest grew I became more interested in what I was putting on to my body, too. I started researching the ingredients in the products I was using and looking at more natural alternatives, which was when I started using lots of Neal&amp;#039;s Yard Remedies products. I love knowing exactly what you&amp;#039;re putting onto your skin and about the ingredient benefits of those products.  Do you ever use foods for beauty purposes, if so what and why? All the time! My followers already know that I love making products myself using ingredients in my kitchen like coconut oil and avocado, but it&amp;#039;s not always convenient to do this when you&amp;#039;re always on the go. It doesn&amp;#039;t always go to plan though, I remember once making a turmeric face mask and literally just rubbed the powder straight onto my face, not realising that I should have mixed with an oil to make into a paste and it stained my face so bad, I looked like a Simpson. Coconut oil, however is my absolute desert island product \u2013 you can use it for almost everything. It&amp;#039;s your cleanser and face moisturiser, but mix with a bit of sand and you have yourself a dreamy body exfoliator to keep that tan glowing for longer. After a day in the sun, it is the best after-sun and you could even give oil-pulling a go to whiten your teeth. What foods in particular should we be eating to improve our skin? \u00A0\u00A0 As simple as it is, I try to get in lots of fruit and veg, so smoothies and juices are often my go-to&amp;#039;s, as they&amp;#039;re so easy to throw together. A delicious smoothie is a really easy way of taking on lots of amazing skin boosting ingredients and was my first port of call every morning in the run up to my wedding \u2013 I&amp;#039;ll throw in frozen berries, banana, spinach, almond butter, almond milk and oats for a quick breakfast quite often.  I am also an avocado addict, I just love them so much and try to get them into at least one meal a day \u2013 whether it&amp;#039;s a simple\u00A0avo on rye toast with chili, rocket and lemon for lunch or blended into a pesto and stirred through some brown rice pasta with peas. I am living for the day the avocado emoji is introduced. What&amp;#039;s the best beauty tip you have ever picked up? I have always kept my beauty regime super simple, but I would say discovering you could use coconut oil to take off eye-makeup remover has been a game changer. You can even use it to take off waterproof mascara without tugging out all your eyelashes \u2013 dreamy! *** MORE BEAUTY     "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
