Skin Care

Are the everyday food & chemicals (makeup, skincare..) major cancer causing agents?

We are in the century where using chemicals and technology has become an everyday thing. Do you use body moisturizer, shaving gel, make up, shampoo, white sugar or white bread? “”(Yes that includes even the chemicals in our food)

If so you need to read this for a healthier, safer and longer life…


Our immune system is what fights these chemicals. However if these chemicals are a part of our everyday lives constantly attacking our immune system, then it will get weaker day by day. When the immune system gets weaker we have no internal protection against diseases like cancer.

Why is it that in the ancient times men and women used to be stronger, taller and healthier? It is because chemicals and pollution didn’t exist at that time. They ate pure, whole and organic food to nourish their body inside out.

Did cancer exist in the ancient times?
No it did not. Today’s Scientists declared that cancer is a man-made disease in the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper. They experimented on mummified bodies to find any trace of tumour but they found none. So that basically means we are killing ourselves very slowly day-by-day just by eating normal food.

If this is what living in a 1st world country means then there no difference between the western world and the African/Asian countries where clean drinking water isn’t safe. In poor countries people die from dirty water and here people die from dirty food/cancer. Well in the world of business and power and greed, we can still make a difference and fight for our survival like Josephine Wood did.

Josephine Wood wrote a book called Naturally Gorgeous on how she survived and fought against a cancerous disease called Crohn’s Disease. Not only she writes about her organic diet but also about her organic skin care, hair care and make up. Its like an ultimate book of living naturally. She even says organic food tastes much better than normal food. So if there is such a thing as organic chocolate and it tastes even better than normal chocolate… IMAGINE THAT! It will be my new BFF!!

Her book also shares all the organic brands that sell skin/body/hair products and other household products. It is a must-read book if you want healthier and safer life for you and your family!

Be careful especially if you just had a baby and you are feeding him/her the baby food from markets. They have all the nasty stuff too. Babies have weaker immune system than adults and so they are more vulnerable. Feed them organic milk or cook the food at home to be on the safe side. The famous actress Jessica Alba set up her own company called Honest (named after her first baby girl) which sells non-toxic and natural products for babies. They were frustrated from searching for a single company that sells safe products like diapers or wipes for babies but they couldn’t find one. So they set up their own! If you are looking for such companies, you might want to start from here Smile

Processed foods are the reason why Obesity is increasing in the western world. They are high in hydrogenated fats, salt, sugar and preservatives. They cause much more than just obesity like migraines, hyperactivity, allergies, asthma, osteoporosis and heart diseases. I don’t understand why they are even being sold in supermarkets even though they harm us. I guess this is where consumerism comes in!

Where to buy Organic food from?
You can sign up for a box delivery scheme which allows manufacturers to bring fresh organic produce direct to your door from farms. They deliver foods like fruits, veg, dairy, meat, fish, wine and cleaning products. Check the internet for your local organic box schemes!

Nowadays many supermarkets sell organic food too so this can be your alternative way.

What does all this have to do with beauty?
Well I am a living proof of the fact that organic living significantly changed how I look physically and how I feel mentally. My skin used to have all the annoying issues like acne, whiteheads, oiliness etc… I got sick of it so I decided to throw away ALL my skin care products which was one of the best decisions I ever made. Then I bought some organic skin care products like Sukin’s Facial Moisturiser and many more. From this one change in my beauty regimen my skin has cleared up. No acne, no whiteheads and no oiliness. I can pretty much say my skin is almost like a baby’s now. I became much more confident in myself and the way I feel about myself i.e the typical insecurities were gone for good!

Sukin has an AMAZING collection for skin, hair, body and sun care. If you are looking for a brand with all these good stuff try this one!
I am still on a hunt for organic hair care products but as soon as I find them I will do a blog post on them.

You can make homemade skin/body care products. I have published 100’s of posts on DIYs which IS what my blog is about. Besides DIY’s are fun and they have no side effects like most drugstore face washes have a side effect of dry skin.

Feel Unique website sells a whole range of organic skin/hair/body/makeup products and they ship worldwide which is sometimes FREE!

Change your path to an organic or even natural living.
It will guaranteed save you medical / doctor’s appointment costs.
It will make you feel confident, happier and closer to our mother nature.

A Natural, Vegetarian and Vegan Skin Care Brand

Today I have found out a brand that offers natural skin care called Lulu Blossom founded by Racheal Kash. She is featured in an episode of I am BIG which is a talk show which focuses on redefining what it means to be “big.”

In the video below you can see this brand’s skin/body care line. She also demonstrates how to get a healthy glow for your skin naturally. Who doesn’t want that… 

My skin care routine is 100% natural. I threw away all the chemical products months ago and it was the best decision I ever made. My skin has never been so healthy and radiant. Therefore I am always on a hunt for Natural skin care brands and this is one of them!

When I watched it, it was truly inspirational and touching. Check out the video below on:

DIY: 3 Best Herbs for Acne-Prone / Irritated Skin

table_thumb[2]

I always hear the phrase “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin” but how many of us really follow that. It’s no wonder that people who swear by this phrase also had radiant and glowing, healthy skin. 

And adding more to that its not surprising when I hear that these “everyday chemicals” we put on our skin causes cancer… illnesses… skin problems… infertility and many more. So why are we still using them? 

Its only because we don’t know the natural alternatives of these life-eating chemicals!
Well that is why I am here for…

First of all head to your bathroom and bin all the chemicals because I am going to list all your natural alternatives here. And if you think your products are natural… TEST THEM ON THIS WEBSITE: SKIN DEEP COSMETICS. Just type your product name in the search box and it will tell you on a scale of 1-10 how safe it is. 

On this website you can also search for 100% natural or organic cosmetics 🙂 So type away then… 

1) Rose Petals
rosesThis plant is AMAZING for aging, inflamed and dry skin. You can use its rose water as a toner! 
It has anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties. 
It re hydrates and soothes the ageing skin since it has high Vitamin C content. 

Anti-Acne Toner
You may use the rose water alone BUT to make it even more effective, you can mix it with some Aloe Vera juice. 
Store the mixture in a spray bottle
Mix equal parts of both ingredients and use it every morning after washing your face with soap and warm water. You can then pile on your normal moisturizer and other stuff 🙂

Personal Experience:
I have used (and still use) the rose water as a toner for years and one thing I can tell you is that IT IS THE BEST one I ever tried. My skin feels so calm and soothed. I get no red pimples anymore or any other type of inflammations and even if I do (like once a year) I apply the rose water and its gone in no time! Trust me you will get addicted to it… in a good way. 
Besides toner, I spray it on my chest and neck before I go to sleep because its scent helps me to sleep better and it makes me smell good of course! So when I snuggle in my bed all I have is sweet dreams… 🙂 
I use Botanics 100% Organic Rose Water

2) Rosehip
tumblr_inline_mjnuecc6NJ1qz4rgpThis herb is popular in the Hollywood industry and among the celebrities like Miranda Kerr, a Victoria Secret model. 
I have a whole post dedicated to this herb and its oil because it is THAT special and effective! 
Check out the post HERE!

This Himalayan herb is popular to get rid of acne scars (or any other type of scars), sunburn or stretch marks. This herb should be a girl’s best friend… unless for you its chocolate or diamonds!

You can use the oil as a night-time moisturizer because when you sleep, your skin does the magic of absorbing ingredients and making them effective on skin. So when you rise and shine in the morning, you get no heart attacks by scars and pimples 🙂

Personal Experience:
I use Botanics 100% Facial Oil which is a blend of different and amazing herbal oils and rose-hip oil happens to be one of them. 
I use it as a night moisturizer or when my skin is extra dry, I mix a few drops of it with my Organic Dead Sea Spa Magik Rich Moisturizer
My skin always feels moisturized, supple and radiant! And now my face is scar-free.
It feels amazing to touch my skin now because before this thing my skin was tough and stiff but now its supple and beautiful 🙂

3) Neem:
ниймThis herb is SO popular in India for getting rid of acne because it is a natural astringent, antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal… basically All-In-One and that is where it gets its fame!

I haven’t tried this herb BUT I have heard SOOOO much about it and it is used in TONS of cosmetics today. 

In India this herb exists in every backyard. It also has been mentioned hundreds of times in Ayurvedic (Indian) Beauty Treatments.
During my childhood years, me and my granny always went to pick up its leaves to use it in cooking and some other stuff. 

I have seen it in most health stores so you can pick it up from there. 
You can use its oil or crush up its leaves to make a fresh face mask.

DIY: Brighten Your Complexion Instantly and Naturally with a Miraculous Face Mask

972111_279496245521418_1622866074_n

We all want that radiant glow to our skin when we wake up every morning.

Do you ever wonder how all the actresses/ models on TV have a beautiful glow even though they use tons of makeup every single day on their skin? Well I do…

And when I wake up every morning, I don’t want a heart attack of having a huge zit on my face especially when I am expecting to see someone special Winking smile 

So if you want to avoid that horror as well then follow these steps…


I wear makeup on most days and so my skin needs some oomph and some care. Because putting on makeup on zits make them more visible and who wants that.

We all want to look like we have flawless skin naturally. Well trust me now you don’t have to fake it with tons of makeup and look like an oompa loompa :/

When I used to have acne, I used to pile on makeup UNTIL I learned some secrets from famous celebrities and models. But I only adapted to the natural ones and so here is one.

The secret to this face mask is Turmeric!!

Legends of Turmeric:
turmeric ali
It originates from the Sub-Himalayan areas and also grows in tropical areas. I think most Himalayan herbs are precious. They have a LOT of benefits. Seriously… most herbs I studied of having amazing benefits for skin are from Himalaya.

This fruit of nature is an orange-yellowish colour and beware because it can stain your clothes and sometimes even if you use Vanish it doesn’t come out.

This plant actually have no seeds… Interesting much!! I wonder how they reproduce then Confused smile
This spice is known as the Golden Spice of India. Its actually true!! I don’t think you can name an Indian recipe without this spice included in it. An Indian family without turmeric is like a body without soul… too much exaggeration maybe…

AnnLuxTurmeric_01
In India, at the time of wedding, the bride and groom get this turmeric paste applied on their face and body to give them a glowing healthy complexion so they look their best in the photographs. This is actually done in a special ceremony along with music and yummy food! This is one of my favourite ceremonies. You are literally pampered with all the skin care stuff!!


The Good Stuff it Gives to Humans:

UntitledTurmeric is a known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic agent.

It is taken in some Asian countries as a dietary supplement, which helps in stomach problems and other ailments. This helps my mum who is in her early 40s and is kinda lazy to exercise much. It helps her to maintain weight.

Turmeric stimulates digestion, supports the liver, and reduces intestinal permeability. And this improves any skin condition internally.

Just a few grams of turmeric per day either in the form of powder, crushed root or fresh root can provide enough nutrients to help you keep away from anaemia, neuritis, memory disorders and offer protection against cancers, infectious diseases, high blood pressure and strokes.

Applying turmeric paste to skin helps reduce acne and other skin related problems. It is also has been known to be helpful in treating psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. This spice should be every teenager’s dream!

turmeric


Ayurveda, the Indian Medical System documents turmeric as an antiseptic and antibacterial. It has been used for its medicinal value since 1900 BC in India.

Skip to 0:33 to know about the Rosehip Oil

Legends of Rosehip Oil:

The History of this oil comes from major regions of Chile and Himalayas which are in Northern part of the Indian Sub-continent.

plus-sign-22The oil has been used by native people in Chile for centuries, and has only been validated by scientists fairly recently.

The University of Santiago conducted research on 180 individuals in 1983 of the effects that the Rosehip Oil had on them.  Their test studied people with extensive facial scarring, acne scarring, deep wrinkles, UV damage, radiation damage, burn scars, surgical scars, premature aging, dermatitis, and other skin related problems.  In these tests, rosehip seed oil regenerated the skin, reduced scars and wrinkles, prevented the advancement of wrinkles and aging, and helped skin to regain its natural colour and tone. Their skin was wrinkled, and had sun spots from overexposure to the sun.  After four months of applying rosehip seed oil daily, their wrinkles and sun spots had almost completely disappeared, and the skin had a fresher and healthier look.

tableSince this test, this oil has been widely used in the Cosmetic industry. But of course when they mix this precious oil with chemicals, it loses its all the beneficial nutrients.

During World War 2 when England was in a serious shortage of Citrus fruits, the fruits of Rosehip were used instead because apparently, they were known to have 60 times more Vitamin C content than the citrus fruits.

It is also used widely in traditional medicine including Chinese and Ayurvedic (Ancient Indian).

Benefits:

Following is a small list of the cures that this oil can make:

  • Hyper-pigmentation
  • Dermatitis

  • Brittle nails

Unknown Natural Beauty Secrets from Victoria Secret Models


Victoria Secret Models are taking over the Beauty and Fashion world! In many of their interviews where they shared their beauty secrets, I noticed that most of them shared 100% Natural ways to pamper themselves. They may represent their makeup brand but when it comes to taking care of their outer appearance, they take the Natural Approach. No wonder their skin glows its health!
Read more to find out the things they do in their everyday lives that you may have never heard of before…

Miranda Kerr

Kerr is the most popular VS Model. And her beauty secrets are my favourite of all.

1) Noni Juice
She swears by this thing. She has mentioned it in most of her Beauty interviews. She drinks this juice everyday every morning. Although she says it doesn’t taste as pleasant but she also reveals that it is her biggest skin, hair and body secret. Basically its an all-in-one package. Yes it is 100% natural remedy btw.
This miraculous fruit comes from India actually. I didn’t know about it even if I was born there. But the true knowledge of this fruit was lost through the centuries. In ancient India, the princesses drank this juice too for their outer appearance. In 20th century, the scientists found this fruit again and it became popular in several countries.
I have a whole difference post on Noni Juice and it miraculous benefits. Click the link below if you want to know its Beauty secrets Smile

2) Goji Berries
Kerr eats this fruit most days during her breakfast. This fruit is like an all-round medicine for her health and skin. It has been consistently used in the Chinese medicine. It contains high amount of antioxidants and Vitamin A and C. It has 21 difference trace minerals and high fibre too. It is basically the father of all the berries known so far. It is good for the immune system, eyesight and for most organs of the body.
I am so going to buy this when I first find out where to buy them from because I don’t this they are available in supermarkets of Ireland.

3) Exfoliation
A few days before the models have their runways shows, most of them suggested that they do an all over body exfoliation.
There are 2 types of exfoliators such as chemical and mechanical. Personally I prefer mechanical, because they also massage your whole body and improve blood circulation. My favourite type of body exfoliation is Dry Brushing. This exfoliation is also great for skin and body organs. Click on the link for more details.
I also have a post on exfoliators for acne-prone skin. Check it out below.
DIY: Gentle Exfoliators for Acne Prone Skin

4) Yoga
Yoga is something that is an essential tool for any person that enters this glamorous world. It is because yoga balances out their mental health, general health and also improves their outer appearance. One of the main workouts of VS models is actually yoga. Now you are probably wondering since when is Yoga a workout. But to be honest it is WAY better than any workouts.
Physical workouts only provide toning of muscles and a good outer appearance. However, yoga helps internal organs, your brain to function effectively, keep the stress out and the list goes on… You can YouTube this and find your perfect yoga workout depending on your body. Not only models have adapted to it but also actors and actresses to maintain their outer looks. Namaste!
I bet you never heard them before. But if you have let me know in the comments below if you have more details Smile

Noni Juice: Miranda Kerr’s Skin Secret and A New Skin Care Breakthrough


Miranda Kerr is one of the most popular Victoria Secret Model. In some of her interviews, she shares her skin secret of Noni Juice. She consistently drinks it every morning to maintain her physical appearance and health. She have been drinking it for almost 12 years.
She also substituted Noni in her Organic Skin Care line, Kora Organics as one of the most significant ingredient. Most people are unaware of what it is so I put a lot of research behind it and gathered it all in this post. So stay tuned for this new Skin Care Breakthrough…

So, What is Noni?

Noni’s scientific name is ‘Morinda Citrifolia’. It is a member of the Mulberry family also called ‘Indian Mulberry’. The Noni plant grows along lava flows and, as you would expect, grows rich in South India, Hawaii and Australia.


What is the History of Noni?

It is believed that this plant arrived on several Polynesian islands over 1,500 years ago from India.
Noni has been a central part of Polynesian traditional medicine.
This plant was considered as a miraculous healer in Ayurveda. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian, highly advanced system of natural medicine. Ayurveda is still practiced today in some parts of the world and I always try to substitute some Ayurvedic ways of living in my life. It has made a huge difference in my physical and mental health. If you have any further questions about Ayurveda, you may click on the ASK ME? tab above.
When Europeans began exploring the islands of the South Pacific in the late 1700s, they made note of the use of Noni among the natives. Captain James Cook owned journals where he recorded his observations of the natives using Noni.

During World War II, U.S. soldiers based on Polynesian islands were instructed in their field manual that Noni was recognized as a safe food staple to eat to sustain their strength.

Benefits of Noni

Doctors recommend Noni all over the world. Noni is nature’s gift to Humanity.

It is rich in Vitamins A, C, E, B, B2, B6, B12, Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Phos- phorus, Magnesuim, Zinc, Copper and other minerals like Chromium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Sodium, Potassium, Carbo-hydrates and 160 + isolated nutraceuticals. majorly.

It is herbal and hence totally, a gift of Nature. It contains various health enhancing elements that are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, adaptagen, analgesic, anti-congestive, hypotensive, and has cancer-inhibiting compounds. It enhances cellular activity, the starting point of all nutritional metabolism.

The following is a small list of its benefits:

Maintains healthy Skin, Hair and Scalp
An Effective Anti-Oxidant
Protects you from Toxins and pollutants

Reduces the risk of developing cancer 
Rejuvenates the Body
Revitalises the Cells
Restores Energy
Relieves Pain
Reduces Inflammation
Releases Stress
Purifies Blood

Improves Digestion
Enhances well being

  • Improves the memory and concentration
  • Inhibits tumour growth
  • Reduces chances of Premature on set of age-related dis-eases such as Arthritis, Heart disease, Diabetes or Strokes.
  • Protects against Viral and bacterial strain that have become anti-biotic resistant.
These are only a few examples of uses and benefits that regular consumers of Noni have experienced. There is no other tonic which works at the molecular level to build the cells like Noni.
Noni: Nature’s abundance bundled in one fruit.
It’s effective in curing skin problems like acne and pimples. Aside from getting beautiful skin, drinking noni juice also helps healthy hair growth especially for those who are suffering from premature hair loss. In fact, many surviving cancer patients have turned to Noni juice to revive their hair follicles after chemotherapy.

Less than 1% people are allergic to Noni. They may experience a rash, itching, mild diarrhoea, or slight belching or trouble with breathing. Most of these symptoms are part of the cleansing process of Noni. Skip a dose or two and take lots of water. Most allergic symptoms disappear within 24 hours of discontinuing Noni. If these symptoms continue, stop drinking Noni. 

Noni was found to contain a polysaccharide-rich substance which prevents the growth of new cancer cells. It was also revealed that drinking noni juice boosts the immune system and reduces stress in the body due to its rich antioxidant components.

DIY: Treat Keratosis Pilaris (acne-like bumps on the back of your hand) Naturally

For those who don’t know what Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is, you know the little bumps you have below your elbow or back of the thighs. Well of course if you don’t have them you won’t know and you are very lucky 🙂 I didn’t even know it is a skin issue until my beautiful blog reader told me about it but don’t worry it is harmless.

” Now, I was wondering if you could do a blog post on how to treat Keratosis Pilaris? I would love to know how to get rid of it by using home remedies, and I do love that you use home remedies, and they work, so I’m kinda hoping that you’ll take it into consideration, doing a blog post on KP 😉 “

If you have any questions or tips to give, then click on the ASK ME? tab on top of my blog 🙂
And read more to find out how to treat it naturally 🙂 …

What Causes it?

It is hard for doctors to figure out why exactly it appears but they say that it is known to be keratin buildups that promote inflammations. Doctors have thrown around the concept that it can be a genetic affliction.

How to treat it Naturally?

Ok after reading a 100 people’s comments on how they treated it, I gathered the recipes they used to cure it and which worked for most of them. When I researched about it, they all told me different reasons because the doctors don’t know the root cause of KP yet so I have some treatments here which worked the MOST for others 🙂

1) EXFOLIATE

Most people said that they treated it by exfoliating with a scrub. So here are some best exfoliators:

– Loofah or any Exfoliating Cloths or Gloves
– Sugar + Honey Scrub
– Sea Salt + Olive Oil Scrub

So choose a suitable one and start exfoliating every day in the shower. Make sure to shower with warm water though. Because you want to open up the pores before exfoliating 🙂

2) MOISTURISE

BUT use a very gentle moisturiser like Cetaphil moisturizers that have no parabens or perfume and they are hypoallergenic.

Or here are other alternatives:

– Burt’s Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Shea Butter Body Butter
– Yes To Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Body Lotion
– Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Lotion (I use this one)
– This one was recommended by some: DCL AHA revitalizing lotion 20

3) VITAMINS

You’ve got to take your vitamins girl!! Especially Vitamin A and the Omega 3 tabs 🙂

4) DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER

And that’s it…
Some websites suggested Apple Cider Vinegar rinse on the areas of body but I wouldn’t recommend it because its vinegar. I mean come one, you don’t want to smell like vinegar… Unless you like it :/ That would be weird.

So let me know what worked for you in the comments below 🙂
