Our skin is a sponge! 

 

Our skin is the largest organ we have as humans and it really absorbs much more than we are aware of. 

That is why it is very important that we pay attention to what we put on our skin every day. Just like shampoo, cosmetics are also full of unhealthy substances that completely disrupt our hormonal balance. 

First of all, it is very important to carefully examine this list of products:

 

 

Which ingredients should I absolutely avoid? 

 

 

 > throw it away if the label mentions these: chemicals such as PARABENS (including methyl, propyl, butyl, ethyl)

Using shampoo with parabens increases your risk of scalp problems such as irritation, itching, hair loss and some sources even claim an increased risk of cancer.

> chemicals such as DEA, TEA, MEA (which serve as pH regulators, preservatives, foaming agents,..)

>petrolatum

A study shows that women even absorb up to 2.2 kg of makeup and lotions per year.. into their bodies. Most products are full of endocrine disruptors aka hormone disruptors that have a major impact on our health & our skin. So check carefully what is really in your products and switch to natural cosmetics (and even here, pay close attention to what is in them)

 

Elimination through the skin

 

So because the skin is our largest organ, it is also the largest organ of 'elimination'. It must still remove all waste products that our liver and colon do not get removed. Our skin removes a lot of waste products through sweat.

You may sometimes notice that your sweat suddenly smells different when you are stressed, for example. That could be a sign that your elimination pathways are blocked and cannot drain smoothly enough. The skin then tries to get rid of the waste products that the organs were unable to remove.

The skin is then the last place where symptoms of 'drainage problems' become visible. This can result in: ACNE, ROSACEA, ECZEMA,..

However, it is highly advisable not to resort to toxic creams and other treatments. These usually only worsen the problem in the long term.

What one can do first is follow a BODY CLEANSE, aka a purification treatment. 

You can email me at alison@alsjehaarmaargoedzit.com if you would like to receive the instructions for this 4-day cleanse. This cleanse helps the liver enormously to clear the liver and colon and is very good to repeat a few times a year to support our liver and pancreas and thus also improve our skin. Make sure that you do this cleansing if you have the time because your body is going through a detox and this can also cause detox symptoms.

 

 Cosmetics landscape

 

 

We have ended up in a kind of media landscape of cosmetics where we are sold all kinds of false promises that would rejuvenate us and make our skin smooth and firm, and we still believe it. While we can perfectly care for and nourish ourselves in a natural way, often even with what we have in our kitchen!

 

how to care for your skin naturally?

 

cleaning.

 

 

Our skin also absorbs many substances from our environment. That is why it is important to cleanse the skin properly every day.

Use pure for this miscellar water or a natural oil cleanser such as our HAIR FACE BODY OIL which is a mix of pure jojoba oil and rose hip oil. These also cleanse and nourish the skin at the same time.

never use soap and foaming cleansers on your face.

 

 

hydration.

 

 

A super hydrator for the skin is hyalonic acid. 

 

By increasing the water content in the skin, high-concentration hyaluronic acid serum can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Make sure you buy a pure hyalonic acid serum, without toxic preservatives.

Hyaluronic acid is very mild for your skin and good for all skin types. Even for sensitive skin that is easily red or irritated. In fact,: one of the reasons why hyaluronic acid is so good for your skin is that it is naturally soothing. This means that it is also suitable for acne-prone skin. 

 

herbal sprays.

 

The herbal sprays are pure natural hydrosols, the end result of the steam distillation of plant material.  The hydrosol contains the water-soluble ingredients of the distilled plant. 

In our range we have specifically chosen these types that are good for the skin & our hair. Because it is a distilled version, it can really moisturize our hair and skin.

In addition to hydration, each HERBAL SPRAY also has its own benefits.

nourishment for the skin.

 

As for our hair & body, it is also very good to use oil for the face and to pamper the entire body!

We also see this in very old cultures and Ayurvedic traditions.

Each oil has its own benefits and healing capabilities.
castor oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, rose hip oil,. or our hair / face body oil which is a mixture of golden jojoba oil & rose hip oil and is therefore good for daily use on face / hair and body.
