We’ve just drawn the January winner for our monthly competition that asks entrants to tell us why using organic skincare is important to you (or why you want to make the change to organic skincare).
I love reading through these entries each month as we get some inspiring (and hilarious) answers. Here are a few of my favourites that might encourage you to make the switch (if you haven’t already done so):
“Because I don’t have to worry when my 1 year old learns how to open my jar of face cream and eats the entire tub.”
“Because they are made with superior ingredients. It’s like cooking, better ingredients mean better results. Those with sensitive skin like myself can especially benefit from organic beauty products that contain high quality ingredients.”
“Harmful chemicals in my products make me see RED! (Not in anger but in allergens)”
“There’s so much about my health and wellbeing that I can’t control, so I love the idea of taking charge and making a change in an area where I’ll see and feel immediate results.”
“It’s my dog’s favourite! She especially loves licking the ultimate SOS balm. I think it makes her coat shiny and has improved her health with all those organic ingredients.”
“We don’t smoke so we don’t hurt our lungs, we avoid drinking so we don’t hurt our liver, but we all use non-organic skincare and hurt our skin every day! If you can’t eat it, why would you let it inside your body?”
“Roses are red, violets are blue, organic skincare is the bomb for you.”
“I need to change my complete skincare products to organic because I’m tired of supporting all these international companies that use harmful substances in their products and promote them as beauty. These chemicals can have detrimental effects on mine and my family’s health. I also want to set an example for my daughter so that I can instill healthier habits.”
Want to share your reasons for making the switch to organic skincare? We'd love to hear from you!
The skin on our bodies is often neglected as we tend to focus on our face and figure our bodies will just look after themselves. Big mistake!
Because our skin is our largest organ and most of what we put on it gets absorbed, choosing high-quality products for the body is so very important. They need to be 100% natural and as organic as possible, to avoid causing skin reactions, disrupting our hormones, and not adding to the toxin burden on our liver.
There are also some simple things you can do to look after your body that will reduce dryness, stop eczema from flaring up and keep it glowing.
