This month is Organic September and as such the Soil Association has challenged Britain to make one small change in their shopping this month and buy something that is organic. It could be something as small as buying organic milk or carrots instead of regular. The thinking behind it is that if each person swaps just one product then that can have a big impact nationally as if people start consuming more organic produce it can improve the land for wildlife encouraging pollinators, which food production relies on, to thrive in our countryside. Another product we should all be considering swapping to is organic skin care. The skin is the largest organ in our body but it is so often neglected. Often people forget what you put on your body ends up in it (just like nicotine patches). So if you wouldn't put in your mouth don't put it on your skin! Certified organic skin care is always free of the sulphates and parabens which are found in so many petroleum based creams. However, make sure that it is certified by the soil association as some products that claim to be organic may not be wholly so. By swapping to organic skin care you are reducing the amount of chemical residues that are absorbed by your body. A good diet going in and on your body is the way to glowing skin! My one small change was to start using Power Berry Facial Wash and Moisturiser from Neal's Yard Remedies which smell delicious and I can honestly say my skin feels great!
