AURELIA PROBIOTIC SKINCARE -SCIENCE MEETS NATURE

I'm a skincare junkie. I love skincare, and I love the whole ritual of a good skincare routine.

Recently, i was in the market for new skincare and decided to bite the bullet after reading a lot of great things about the brand Aurelia. It has also just won the Natural Beauty Bible's 'Best New Brand'! 

WHY WE SHOULD ALL USE NATURAL ORGANIC BEAUTY PRODUCTS

You will regularly hear from the green/holistic beauty world that what we put on our skin is absorbed and enters into our bloodstream. 

Then there are others who say that the skin acts as a great barrier to keep out chemicals, and they do not enter our bloodstream.

Errr hello... what about things like nicotine patches and hormone patches?  These are all medications that are absorbed through the skin, so why would we not absorb the chemicals that we find in our moisturisers, shampoos, deodorant etc? And what about things like Castor oil packs? There are many people who use these to help break up scar tissue (among other things) and it works because the oil gets absorbed into the body.

WHAT IS THE BEST DIET? AND HOW TO MAKE ANY DIET WORK.

What is the best diet? The healthiest, life promoting diet? This is a question I have pondered many times. There is a vast amount of contradictory information, and a large variety of people reporting positive results from this contradictory information! Who has got it right? The raw foodies? Vegans? The paleo diet? It can all get very confusing and overwhelming. So then I thought, rather than looking at all the differences these lifestyles have, would it not make more sense to ask what they all have in common?
