Natural, organic and eco-friendly are words that are used a lot at the moment, and this spring you have the choice of everything from staying with your normal regime to moving over to totally organic skincare and cosmetics. Gone are the days when 'organic' meant simple packaging and less than wonderful fragrance, now you truly can have it all; chic presentation, gorgeous scents and natural products. Here are some of the best at a wide range of prices.

NATURALLY GORGEOUS: If you're looking for natural skincare gifts and treats consider the  Pure Indulgence Candle  by Aromatherapy Associates,  Arran Arromatics 'Just Grapefruit' Hand Care Set  or if you want to splash out the  Organic Bath Oils Beauty Gift Box  by Willow. There are lots more to choose from here so prepare to be seriously tempted.

GO FOR ORGANIC: Make a statement right now and only use products that you know are totally organic. For hair care take a look at the John Master's range and try his Rosemary and Peppermint Detangler or Lavender and Avocado Intensive Conditioner. For skincare you won't find a more natural range than Spiezia so try their Restorative Body Balm and Floral Skin Toner.

PAMPER ME NOW: With so many luxurious natural pampering choices available, why would you go for anything else? For example try Korres Jasmine Body MilkBurts's Bees Honey and Shea Body Butter and This Works Enjoy Really Rich Lotion for some seriously relaxing therapy. Just make sure you don't forget to switch your phone off if you want some real stress-free pampering.

BUFFED, TONED and TANNED: To get ready to put on your bikini and sandals for your next sun and sand vacation you need to start now. Here are some of the best natural scrubs and exfoliators to help you get going. Try "Ole Henriksen Rub 'n' Buff Spa Salt Scrub"Linden Leaves Exfoliating Body Rub and Eselle Lime and Coconut Body Scrub and then invest in Fake Bake's self tanning lotion, containing a unique blend of exotic oils and natural ingredients and be totally prepared for when the sun comes out.
