Recently I had a Hair Mineral Analysis done. This test measures the levels and comparative ratios of nutrient and toxic minerals found in hair, which are in turn found in the rest of your body. You can have this test done by any Naturopath. When I received the test results I was quite surprised to find out that a large amount of toxins I have in my body are from cosmetics. This ranges anywhere from mascara, to deodorant, sunscreen, hair dye, shampoo, and well you get my drift. This got me thinking, if there are other healthier alternatives than why am I not using them.
Making this decision has been one of the easiest ways for me to improve my health, and of course now I want to share my findings with all my loved ones. I guess it's my thinking is why not?! Why not go organic? Most organic cosmetics may be that little bit more expensive, but they for sure last longer. Just skip buying a coffee one day and there you go, you've saved the difference!
I could go on and on with this topic and I will definitely write about organic food one day too. It would be great if people could just look at organics as a necessity not a luxury.
My newest fave is the cosmetics brand LUSH, which I had seen back home for years and just knew it as the smelly soap shop. I have recently purchased a hair trail pack, which I absolutely love. I am now on a mission to try their soaps, creams and deodorants. Have a look at their site or maybe pop into one of their shops and give them a go.
