NATURAL SKIN CARE

Healthy skin care is a contentious issue at the moment.  More and more people are becoming aware of the importance of what they put on, and inside, their bodies.  A European study last year showed that during their normal beauty routine, women put up to 55 toxic chemicals onto their skins every day.

So what can we do to ensure that we are treating our skins with respect?  The best way is to check the labels on your cosmetics and body products – if they contain parabens or sodium laureth sulphates then you know that the ingredients are synthetic and (often) derivatives of the petroleum industry. 

The healthiest way to combat the wear and tear on our skin - especially during a Highveld Winter - is to use cosmetics that contain minerals that hydrate the skin, and wholesome oils, creams and lotions that are made with only natural ingredients; products that nurture the skin and the whole body.
