I love all things beauty and I have for as long as I can remember! From using up my Mum's makeup to looking longingly at old editions of vogue when I was 8 just stirred up something inside of me that refused to go when I was growing up. When I was 14 my Aunt introduced me to the world of Organic Skincare and I was totally hooked!

Fast forward to a 2 years after my Uni, I created an Organic Skincare Line with my cousin (Couvrez Organic Skincare) and it was an awesome success! We had body scrubs and face masks all organic and handmade using ingredients that were rich in nutrients and vitamins for the skin, oils that were nourishing and giving intense moisturization to the skin, clay that are designed not only to suck out oils, dirt and gunk trapped in the pores of the skin but to also gently exfoliates and balances out the oiliness prevalent in certain skin types.

Getting married, birthing my kids and several relocations later, I sadly moved on from it but and it still remains part and parcel of me! Not a week goes by without whipping out one of the many favorites organic skincare recipe and giving myself a top to toe beauty treatment right in my homemade spa, my bathroom! Its fast, very effective and of course pocket friendly too. I am in control of my ingredients and can slather 100% Organic Turmeric on my skin or organic Greek Yogurt on my face when i have an occasion to attend, or apply my homemade face mask with clay and colloidal oats. The pantry is indeed my limit!

But the question arises why Organic Skincare? You see when you opt and choose organic skincare, you are choosing ingredients that work with the sophisticated natural systems of your skin. Given the right nutrients, our skin has the ability to care for and mend itself. Our bodies use nutrients absorbed not only through food, but also through the skin. It is medically understood that what goes on your skin absorbs into your bloodstream and is carried through your body. I mean it has also been said that our skin is the largest organ in our body.

So it does make sense that we should take it upon ourselves to scrutinize what we put in our body than what we put on it? We live in a world where chemicals have come to stay in certain fields and industries. But with more and more awareness in the Organic Skincare industry highlighting the dangers of certain chemicals which come along with our standard store bought skincare products, it is time to take charge and begin to realistically wean ourselves off as some of these chemicals do have a long time negative effect on the skin.

You have probably thought about the benefits of eating a healthy diet. It makes you wonder about the effects of all the chemicals in the skin products that you are slathering on and rubbing in. Beauty aisles are littered with products and marketing claims promising that their formulas will improve skin appearance and texture, remove dark spots, and reduce the signs of aging etc. Like fad diets that give temporary results, oftentimes products made with artificial or chemical ingredients offer the same thing – a temporary mask without improving skin from deep within. Studies and experience have taught us that eating organically is the best decision for our overall health, so it can be deduced that organic skin care products are also worth the effort.

I will be sharing tried and tested yummy skincare recipes that work a treat for all skin types using nature's finest, gentlest and of course natural recipes to ensure you have silky smooth glowing skin all at a fraction of the price some of these chemical ladened Skincare products come at!

It's totally DIY and you probably have some of the ingredients already in your pantry. So stay close and locked in as we take the ride into the beauty pot and of course the beauty ladle...
