Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream

Elemis is funding a class of 25 women in Afghanistan through Women for Women International year-long programme and will also give a monthly allowance for each member.

It delivers intense hydration to dry skin and the lid is engraved with She Inspires Me too.

There's no better feeling than buying your favourite beauty product. Unless it's knowing that some, if not all of the proceedings go to an amazing cause.

For example, MAC have been supporting AIDS Fund for over 20 years, which all started with Viva Glam lipstick; the first lipstick created to boldly raise money and awareness for the condition. Every penny of the sales goes to help HIV and AIDs sufferers - which is very noble indeed. Last year, Benefit raised almost £2000 for the charities Look Good Feel Better, which helps women feel better about themselves whilst undergoing cancer treatments, and Refuge, which helps women and children rebuild a life after suffering at the hands of domestic violence.

Other brands like Neal's Yard Remedies brought out a full range of products to help raise money to help protect bees and their homes, whilst Crème De La Mer partnered with National Geographic to raise money and help save ocean habitats.

From protecting the ocean to saving birds, from helping less fortunate women have an education to preventing the extinction of rare plants, there are so many incredible charities that are being supported by these brands and are ensuring we give back to the world. And not only are we doing our bit to help, but we're buying a little something for ourselves, too. Massive win!

So have a little look at our gallery of brands that are doing their bit, and click the link to get a little something for yourself, and help donate to a great cause.
