Recently, a little research shocked us (mainly, mascara, makeup wearing me!) have you ever looked into the number of chemicals an average woman puts on her face everyday?
t w o h u n d r e d
Yep, two hundred chemicals used on a womans already perfect face every day. And, sixty percent.. of those 200 chemicals are then absorbed into our skin and go straight into our bloodstream (all those unknown nasties running riot through our veins into our heart and mind!) Now when thinking about myself, this makes me nervous. But then, we consider various products many parents use on their new baby or ever-growing ankle-biters... What are we actually putting into their bodies?
We believe that reducing the amount of toxins we use, in everyday life is vastly important step in looking after your body and soul. Gradually introducing organic items into your lifestyle and fazing out the nasty chemical filled ones is the way forward. We have a cheap and delicious beauty treatment to ease you into the transition and we promise you'll feel delicious afterwards...
It is important to keep your skin moist and hydrated. Honey attracts and retains water and acts as an anti-microbial-agent, and is suitable for sensitive skin. (And treating minor abrasions and burns). Avocados are rich in skin-soothing vitamin E, increasing collagen production and reducing the skin ageing process. This simple home made super-facial is completely chemical free and is going to leave your skin feeling silky smooth, super moisturised and replenished with all natural goodies!
