Making the Switch to Organic Skin Care
The old adage, “we are what we eat” is more true today than ever. It’s a fact: what we eat and how we feel shows up on our skin.
My favourite resource for evaluating brand toxicity, is the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
You can search nearly every brand available and the site will rate the healthfulness of the products.
Even “natural organic” brands may come with unwanted ingredients compared to homemade varieties, and the EWG can help you feel secure in your brand choices.
Once you have stocked your makeup bag and bathroom with safe, organic products, you will notice an improvement in your overall health, and in turn improve the way you look (and feel) in the long term.
How cool is that?!

So ask yourself. Does your skin glow with youthful vitality and the look of health—or is it dull, flaky, oily or dry?
If you answered the latter, it’s time to turn things around by making the switch to organic skincare.
And if that’s not enough of a deterrent, consider the role they are known to play in fertility issues, cancer, and organ toxicity.
The truth is that the majority of our skincare products, ranging from body lotions, cleansers, toners, moisturisers, and serums, contain harmful chemicals.
If you make the switch, at least with some of your most used products, you will provide your skin—your body’s first defense against toxins and disease — with a pure, natural and healthy alternative.
But how can you tell if a product is actually healthy and free from toxins?
