Nourishing Women Podcast


Nov 26, 2019

I want to start off this conversation by saying...Our bodies are made for detoxing and equipped to handle toxins, chemicals, stress and inflammation- so many of the taboo words in the health and wellness world.

 

The problem is not that we should avoid all these things forever and freak out if we ever use a soap that has fragrance, or buy a deodorant with aluminum or eat an inflammatory food (whatever that means...because truly everyone has a different opinion and one of my biggest complaints with the clean eating concept).

 

The problem is when these things because daily and consistent in our lives. Yes, our bodies are equipped, but when the load is daily- it can become too much. And conventional beauty and makeup products can be one of the biggest contributors to that daily toxic load...I mean think about it- how many times a day and how many products do you use daily on your skin and face?

 

Plus, there are so many factors that are outside of our control, becoming mindful about what we can be intentional about (because we all make purchases for our skincare and makeup) can be a way to support our reducing that overall toxicity load and use ingredients and products that naturally enhance and support our body’s ability to function.Plus, I’m all about supporting businesses and brands I believe in. Where we put our money tells the world what matters, and this is a great way to effect the supply and demand chain.

 

In this episode we discuss:

  • The 4 main ingredients to avoid in your skincare products
  • My favorite skin skincare and green beauty products
  • Tips for making the transition easy, affordable and doable
  • Avoiding greenwashing and companies taking advantage of the natural product movement
  • Intentional shopping and purchasing
