Optimal health starts with eating good food and cleansing your body of substances that inhibit proper functioning. You understand this and so you take care of what you feed your body. You make an effort to eat a proper diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and you try to avoid processed food where possible. But what if all the good you are doing is being undone by your choice of skincare and makeup products? What if the products you use everyday are making you sick? Infact, beauticians have a higher risk of cancers that affect women such as ovarian cancer and cancer of the uterus. Considering you absorb 60% of what you use on your skin, that statistic isn't surprising. Over the course of a lifetime that is a lot of... a lot of - whatever is in your personal products.

Do you know what makes up your favourite cleanser, moisturizer or foundation? A very popular brand of 'natural' skincare includes suttocide (a chemical preservative) in their cleanser. Forget all that good work you are doing by eating healthily and exercising. This nasty chemical releases formaldehyde in the presence of water (pretty silly considering this product is used in the shower!) which causes cancer, headaches, nose bleeds, chest pains and seriously weakens your immune system to name a few. This is just one chemical in one product from one range of so called 'natural' skincare. Can you imagine the cocktail of nasties in your regular supermarket or pharmacy brand?

Now you can see why it's so important to watch what you put onto your skin. It's just as important as proper nutrition is for your health and the health of your loved ones. But manufacturers wouldn't poison us on purpose and there are laws protecting the consumer right? Wrong. Cosmetic and skincare manufacturers use these chemicals to give their products a desired quality such as fragrance or skin feel. They don't choose them based on their benefit to our skin. They choose these ingredients based on the increased revenue they can generate because these chemicals literally cost cents. This leaves the manufacturer with a huge markup potential at the cost of our health. Thats right, all those expensive lotions and potions that cost hundreds of dollars at the department stores are really only worth a few dollars at the most after you count the packaging and shipping.

So how then do you know if a product is safe? There are so many companies jumping on the natural and organic bandwagon. Some have even created their own certifying bodies so they can claim they are certified organic. The only way to know for sure that your skincare and cosmetics are 100% safe is to look for the organic food standards such as the Australian Certified Organic symbol. An Australian Certified Organic product has to meet strict criteria to obtain the certification. Australian Certified Organic products have absolutely no synthetic chemicals or genetically modified ingredients.

One range of organic cosmetics is the miessence range of products.

Wellness isn't just eating a low fat diet. Give your body a break from the bombardment of chemicals. Let your body heal with proper nutrition, exercise and healthy skincare and cosmetic products. Your body will thank you for it.
