Hi and Welcome to Organic Makeup and Skin Care Site!
I am currently in the process of setting the site up. Lots
of useful information is coming real soon! For now feel free
to browse through the BLOG. Don't worry,
THE BLOG IS STILL OPERATIONAL. I JUST MOVED IT INTO A NEW DIRECTORY.
On this site I am aiming to bring together information about the
wonderful organic choices for our skin care and makeup that are
available today.
Why organic? What is it? Who makes it? Where to get it? These are
the questions I get all the time. The organic movement is growing
faster and wider every day. There is so much out there, that it is easy to
get lost. And it’s only getting bigger…
My goal is to find the best products and information and share them with you. Here you will be able to find
genuine reviews of products, features on brands, tips on homemade
skin care, and everything else related to this brave new world.

How safe are small doses or chemicals, really? Are lower doses
safer? Or could it be the reverse... At least that is where some of
the new controversial findings are pointing. Plus, the effects of
chemical cocktails are not simply "1 + 1 = 2". Chemicals combined
may have a whole new level of toxicity.

My Road to Organic Skin Care and Makeup
I’ve always had a sensitive skin. And I don’t mean just a little
bit sensitive. I mean REALLY sensitive.
When I was a kid it took a not so gorgeous form of eczema,
dermatitis, and various horrible patches all over my body that
scared the heck out of other kids and made my childhood much more
memorable than I’d wanted it to be.
Luckily I outgrew that part by late tweens. But the sensitivities
remained. Never as a teen could I just try on lipsticks, foundations
or whatever other facial machinations my friends were into. Unless,
of course, I was in a mood for seeing my face swell up and my throat
itch like crazy just from the joy of putting on some drug-store
lipstick.
For the longest time I thought that there was something really
wrong with me. I tried brand after brand hoping that it will work
ok, or at least be of tolerable discomfort. It took me years to
realize that my skin was actually a gift from Lady Luck – it clearly
told me when stuff that has no business being on my face was somehow
finding itself there. I consider myself lucky now, cause by having
to avoid those suspicious lipsticks and foundations I saved myself
from eating and absorbing tons of potentially hazardous chemicals.
But I live in the real world. And in the real world sometimes we
dress up. And have to put some colour on. And have to moisturize our
faces. And cover up some dark circles (especially once kids come
into play… I believe that ‘kids = dark circles’ is a much more
relevant equitation than e=mc^2…). And I was so glad to find out
that all that does not mean that we have to go the route of
self-poisoning for the sake of beauty. I was amazed to discover so
many choices that value healing over symptom-targeting, and nature
over chemical factories.
I have since made my skin care and makeup routines as organic as possible. And I’ve never
looked back. My skin is smoother then ever. My makeup
doesn’t make me swell and itch.
And, ironically, even though I now know where to get safe
foundation – I don’t actually need it!
