We are getting so good at putting the right raw food in our bodies to receive adequate nutrition which is just fantastic but there are other pieces of the puzzle that we really need to look at to make sure we are healthy in body and mind.body
Have you ever looked on the back of that expensive skin care jar? There are many compounds, chemicals and substances that are doing you more long term damage than you realise..not to mention poisoning you and your loved ones...
Did you know that your skin absorbs everything you put on it and can be absorbed at a concentrated dose of up to 10 times compared to an oral dose. It’s no different to feeding your tummy and your putting only the best in there so why would you slather your face, teeth and hands in poison?

SLS,SLES- Sodium lauryl Sulphate and its cousin Sodium laureth Sulphate are both poisons that are commonly used in soaps, toothpastes, health care, detergents and shampoo. The chemicals are the foaming agents that leave you with that squeaky clean and oil free shine after a wash!
Unfortunately they also leave you with liver toxicity, damage to your hair follicle, can cause eye damage in children that is irreversible and skin damage. To top it off it’s actually not necessary to have foaming agent to get a good clean…this is just an added gimmick
Parabens –..Quite simply cancer causing...Are used as a low cost preservative and there have been no studies to show that it is safe for human consumption in fact most studies show estrogenic activity – which stimulates breast cancer in prolonged doses! Very scary.
Phthlalates - The addition of this chemical is a tragic example of just how far cosmetic companies go and how Much they get away with. Dibutylphthalate ( DBP,DEP, Butyl Ester) this chemical helps the skin absorb the skin care quickly . This has been clearly listed as a human carcinogen. i.e. it causes cancer
PetroChemicals Let’s start with the list of diseases and sickness petrochemicals cause…Kidney disfunction and degeneration, nerve damage, degeneration of the spinal cord and anemia. This is just the beginning in fact studies show that Animals used in tests generally died prior to the end of the safety testing due to absorption and exposure of petrochemicals…And they are in everything.
I could go on all day but I think you get the picture! it's a nasty mess of disease..everytime you carefully rub the cleanser in careful circles so as to not 'scratch' the skin..your killing yourself and your family..OUCH!
So we are starting a Raw Skin Care Recipe series that focus on YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! If you can't eat it , don't put it on your face!
Raw Cleansing Mask
Honey, Aloe and Blueberry Cleansing Mask
Buy some really good quality manuka honey it has amazing cleansing and healing properties. Pick up some Aloe Vera stems from a local market. Fillet and squeeze the super goo from the aloe. You want about 3 tablespoons, then add a table spoon of mauka honey and 1/4 Cup of organic blueberries. Blend with a hand blender or food processor. I usually pop a warm towel on my face for 15 mins prior to open up the pores and clean away excess oils and then cover the face and relax for 20 minutes.
Avocado and Coconut Cleansing Mask.
Coconut Oil has amazing cleansing properties so this is a great way to keep your skin supple, smooth and so soft! 1 tablespoon of coconut Oil, 1/2 an avocado mashed, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon. Mix in a food processor if possible and then apply and relax for 20 minutes.
Raw Cleansing Scrub
Honey and Almond Scrub
Honey, ground almonds, orange essential oil, olive oil. Grind the almonds finely ( about 1/4 Cup) add a table spoon of Manuka Honey, 5 drops of Orange essential oil and then 2 tablespoons of high quality olive oil. Mix by hand and then apply. Gently and slowly scrub the face in a circular motion.
It's amazing to think that even though we can be so healthy we are still loading ourselves with toxins. Detoxing the system of these chemicals is an important step in achieving and maintaining long term health and wellness. A build up of toxins can also prohibit weight loss, make you irritable, sick and lethargic.
Do you want that spring in your step back?
I look forward to being a part of your journey!
Yours in health
