Naturally new you

Not quite taken on a chemical-free beauty regime yet? Make 2017 the year that you fully embrace natural beauty. Need a little more convincing? Let us tell you all about the benefits

You might have been thinking about going natural for a while now. Perhaps you get that horrible dry, tight skin feeling that chemical-laden products can give, or maybe just reading the ingredients list for your moisturiser makes your eyes water – either way, taking the natural approach could be for you.

Gently does it

The benefits when you ditch the chemicals are numerous. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your skin isn’t being slathered in nasties all day long is just one. Just the names of parabens make our heads swirl – methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben. If you can’t even pronounce it, why put it on your skin? Skin irritation is one common problem – your body is not designed to deal with synthetics and often ditching the chemicals will rid you of any flare-ups. When it comes to your skin, natural is always a more gentle approach. So if you have sensitive skin that needs a little extra care then natural beauty is ideal.

Inside and out

It’s not only what you put on your skin that makes a difference of course, what you put in counts too. A good diet is key – think good fats for plump skin; avocado, nut butters and lots of raw nuts and seeds. But of course even the most nourished skin can need a boost, especially at this time of year. Viridian’s Ultimate Beauty Skin Hydration tablets are a great way to treat your skin. The magic ingredient in these tablets is Lipowheat^™ a gluten-free supplement extracted from wheat and a great skin food.

Soak it in

Natural skincare does what it says on the tin. There’s no fillers or unknowns in there. Everything in your pot of cream is doing a job, and that job is to replenish and care for your skin. It’s easy to forget that your skin is the largest organ on your body. And that organ is basically a sponge – absorbing everything that touches it from the outside world. When you think of it like that, the answer seems simple to us – make sure that everything that goes onto your skin is only doing it good.
