Today’s guest blogger is Joanna Runciman. She makes some really important points here about skin care products and fragrances.
Use skin care good enough to eat. If you can’t pronounce it don’t use it on your skin! Just because it is on sale doesn’t mean it is safe.
Our skin is the largest organ in the body and a sensitive part of the body when it comes to what we slather on and soak in. If a quit smoking patch works by transdermal absorption, then surely a cheap body lotion is also absorbed? Thus this holiday season when buying presents for family and friends it is wise to be an ingredient detective and purchase genuinely edible ingredients to nourish our precious skin.
Give scents with caution. If you wish to give a scented product think about where the scent comes from, and opt for genuinely natural essential oils rather than items with ‘parfum’, fragrance or perfume in them.
Perfumes are a popular present of choice for Christmas but the beautiful bottle of perfume can hide a nasty secret, which is a myriad of synthetic chemicals which do not have to be listed on the label, including phthalates which are detrimental to health. The best way to protect your family is to opt for organic essential oils or buy a third party certified organic perfume, there are a few about.
To fragrance your home, a few drops of essential oils in a little jar or bowl of water can be a nice way to fragrance a home. Nature has provided many alternatives to synthetic chemical sprays. Cinnamon sticks tied with a piece of ribbon with a couple of drops of orange essential oil reminds me of winter. I also love sticking lots of cloves into an orange, I have one come December and it lasts for months.
Joanna Runciman empowers women to remove synthetic chemicals from their life and enjoy renewed vitality. Her coaching is positive, helpful and practical and put simply, it works! Joanna detoxed herself back to health and thus has a mission to spread this powerful process with others. Joanna feels when nature has provided such beautiful alternatives, why use anything synthetic?
