Skin Nourishing and Protecting
It is important to protect your skin against the environment. Air conditioning, excess sun, pollution and wind all beat up your skin. Using a good plant-based moisturiser will not only nourish your skin but also give you protection throughout the day. Most good plant-based ranges will be rich in antioxidants to help fight premature aging. Make sure you read labels and check out what you will be putting on your skin. If you need sun protection, look for natural sunscreens and filters.
Just like your body, you also need to give your skin its nutritional requirements. That is why we prefer plant-based products. Your skin naturally digests the ingredients to deliver good nourishment right into your skin. One of our favourite nourishment boosters is organic Rosehip oil mixed with Lavender essential oil. We pre-mix our Rosehip and Lavender together (15 ml Rosehip, seven drops Lavender). All it takes are five drops of this blend massaged well into the skin to deliver a great vitamin and mineral boost. This can be applied under your day moisturiser and used on its own in place of a night cream.
Rosehip oil is our vitamin serum, eye cream, neck cream and night cream. If your skin is feeling dehydrated and parched, add a little Rosehip into your daytime moisturiser. Other nourishment boosters come in the form of hydrating gels or plant serums, or you may wish to make up your own massage blend that you apply under your moisturiser when needed.
Choose lip balms and lipsticks made of beeswax, natural resins and colours. They are available from health-food stores, but often hard to find.
Lipstick is mainly made up of petroleum-based ingredients, colours, preservatives and fragrance. It has been estimated that a woman can consume more than 1.8 kg of lipstick in her lifetime.
Lip tip: If you find a pimple or spot appearing on the face, place a drop of Lavender on it. Lavender’s antiseptic and healing qualities will aid cleansing and help rejuvenate the skin. Manuka oil is an alternative, but if your skin is dry stick to Lavender.
Lip tip: Lips have a much thinner, drier skin than the rest of the body. They have no oily secretions of their own. Dry, cracked or sore lips need the added lubrication of waxy balms to preserve the fine, delicate tissue. However, take notice of the ingredients in your lip balms and lipsticks.
