Why Nature?
I created this blog for people interested in organic skincare, hair & also healthy living.
The idea may not seem very oryginal but my intention is pure. I have had real problems with my skin and hair caused by my lifestyle. I have been stressed almost all the time, working in many different locations. My gentle skin was irritated all the time. Nothing worked (and trust me, I tried A LOT). This is when my friend introduced me to yoga (mostly hatha&ashtanga). I have realized how our attitude and what we feel is important for our bodies. I have realized that it’s pointless to feel responsible for everything, to feel guilty because of failure. Yoga helped me to chill out and realize that if I won’t be good for myself, nobody would. I decided that I needed to change something in my life or otherwise I would never be happy and satisfied with myself.
At yoga&meditation classes I’ve met lots of interesting people, who taught me a lot about our body. For example, I found out that almost 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed. I wouldn’t like eating chemical stuff, this is why I decided to give oils and organic producs a go. And it worked!
There are many produts, which are certified as organic, there are some which aren’t yet have many organic ingredients, and finally, there are lots of tricks which can help us create a perfect product on our own.
I will test many cosmetics, I will test overheard methods and let you guys know, if this works or not.
I will post links and advice from other people, involved in ‘green living’. I hope together, we’ll all get closer to nature and realize what a blessing our nature is.
Yes, our skin absorbs much more than we can think at first sight. I always knew about it. Some years ago, a science teacher told me that we women spent a lot of money in cosmetics and that was absurd as product couldn’t go through the layers of our skin. But I asked him a question… don’t they really? Then why there are poison that can kill by cutaneous penetration? If a poinsonous substance has an effect and find a door through our skin, the good substance can also penetrate. So that’s cosmetics work. Nature gives us everything. Healing substances, hydratation… Nature has the key. It is up of ourselves to be in touch with it.
And, of course, I agree. My skin is also irritative and atopic and I need to be responsible and take care of it. Skin is another organ such as liver or stomach or brain. When we are stressfull our skin suffers from it.
So thanks for the message!
