Fabulous Finds: Let Your Skin Eat!
Feng Shui and the Power Panty
Feng Shui and the Power Panty

You practice yoga, eat organic food, sanctify your spaces with smudge sticks and swear by the benefits of Feng Shui. So why, on a daily basis, do you repeatedly slather chemical cocktails on your face and body? Um, can you say hypocrite? Look, sorry for being so harsh, but you really should know this. And if you didn’t before, you do now. (Yes, I admit I made the mistake too. But as soon as I knew better, I began my very vocal personal quest to educate the masses.)

So, before I continue my rant, let me ask you what you think lurks in your skincare products? Go on…take a look at the ingredients list. My general rule is that if I can’t pronounce it, it is likely a chemical. Just as you wouldn’t put toxic material in your body, don’t smear it on your face. That deadening junk will make your skin lifeless and dull. Natural products bring vibrancy and life to the skin, unveiling your natural beauty. So, toss that goopy foundation. You won’t need it anymore!

Jurlique (www.jurlique.com), the hands down most delicious skincare line currently in existence (yes, according to me, who else?), was created by Dr. Jurgen Klein, PhD, an aromatherapist and self-described alchemist since the 1970’s. His goal is to preserve the life force that exists in plants and transfer that energy into his products and, therefore, into your skin. Jurlique’s cleansers, gels, creams, masks and mists are made with organic, biodynamically-grown flowers and herbs, picked with the utmost delicacy to the extent that no petals are bruised. If you think about it, it makes sense. A bruise changes the chemical makeup of the petal. It smells different and looks different. (It smells like death and turns brown.) Now why would you ever want to put that on your skin?

My point? LET YOUR SKIN EAT!

You’re welcome.
