’No guarantee’ that chemicals in skincare products are safe

Organic beauty products are relied upon by many people to help keep their skin feeling hydrated and revitalised, especially in the warmer summer months.
One of the main benefits of such natural beauty products is that they can work well for those with sensitive skin, containing no harsh chemicals likely to irritate or adversely affect the skin.
Ingredients in skincare products are hugely important, according to Paul Williams, director of Gentle Beauty Limited, who argues that what we put on our skin can affect the rest of our body.
"The skin is there to protect us from the elements from the sun and the weather et cetera. If we put a lot of aggressive chemicals onto our skin, we actually compromise the skin's ability to protect us," he explained.
This could cause the skin to react and the immune system to attack the skin, leading to rashes and swelling.
Your skin on the most part isn't sensitive and will be fairly robust, however it does depend on how it is treated.
The skin is your barrier to the world, but it really does go through quite a lot.
Mr Williams said: "When you think about the way we treat our skin, we shave it to get the hairs off, we cut it, we swim in warm soups of chlorine, we bombard it with UV rays, then on top of all that we put a huge amount of chemical products onto us."
He added: "We don't know what effects these chemical products are having in the main. It is a very hard life for the skin."
Organic beauty products used on the skin can help to reduce the numbers of chemicals you use daily, giving skin a rest and also taking full advantage of natural ingredients such as fragrant essential oils and moisturising shea butter.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
