Green Beauty Swaps

making natural oils in a lab for green beauty

Hi lovelies,

Today I am writing about my green beauty swaps since making the change gradually over the space of around 6 years. As you may know, I have been on a green beauty journey since discovering natural ingredients and plant-based beauty cleared my adult acne. Even when I started this blog back then, I was still transitioning.

For example, I used to think the only way to clear my acne was to go for the strongest chemicals and newest technology in order to obtain clear skin. I tried everything from Proactiv – which bleached my pillowcases and face cloths (yikes) to Clearasil – full of harsh chemicals and overpowering smell. They just seemed to either not work or actually aggravate my skin and strip it of its natural oils. read more

Henna Hair Dye for Natural, Shiny & Beautiful Locks

This week I am talking about henna hair dye for natural, shiny and beautiful locks. So a couple of weeks ago I was away in Morocco and decided to have my hair dyed professionally with henna. Not many hairdressers use it these days so I was delighted to have the opportunity to get it done in Morocco where it is still used regularly. I had hoped to find somewhere that did it, since I noticed there were lots of henna tattoo places around.

Luckily, there was a spa around the corner from where we were staying that had a hairdressers. I asked them and they were happy to use henna hair dye instead of the standard chemical kind. Although not that commonly used as a hair dye, they often obliged when people asked. They informed me the process would take a little longer than usual due to the extra time it takes to prepare and apply. They asked me if I had ever used henna before and I assured them I had. read more

Pierre d’alun 100% Natural Deodorant Stone – Amazing!

Hi Everyone,

Finally I have found what I have been searching for all along, the Pierre d’alun 100% natural deodorant stone. It is nothing short of amazing! I have been trying to find a good quality natural deodorant for a while now and had been fairly unsuccessful so far. I have tried a few natural brands and wasn’t overly impressed by the results. I seemed to be re-applying them during the day or just discontinuing use. I was reluctant to fork out more money in the hope of finding a good one but I really don’t like the chemicals in the non-natural kind so I was apprehensive. read more

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to outline the fantastic benefits of chemical free natural skin care. Firstly, I will highlight the dangers of toxins found in regular, everyday cosmetics. Not many people know this, but there is a lot of leniency given to cosmetic brands as regards to what they put into the products in todays market. The skin absorbs up to 60% of whatever we apply so we need to make a conscious decision as to what chemicals, if any, we are applying. read more
