When they say 'Skin care must be good enough to eat', every word holds true. As we all know, our skin is the largest organ in our body. What we don't know is that much of what we apply onto our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream directly, and they enter our blood at a rate faster than if we were to swallow it. Imagine eating cosmetic chemicals... no. Having heard about organic skincare for a while now, I took the plunge this year. On my 21st birthday, I decided it was time to begin taking care of my skin. Chucking away my grab-off-the-rack facial cleanser (that was all I had), I waged my war against skin ageing and began my three-step skincare regime. Everything was going smoothly according to plan when the weather in London started messing with me. Dry skin aside, I could SEE the pores on my cheeks and forehead. They were visible, and they were enlarging. Upon returning to Malaysia, I made the switch. I swapped out my facial cleanser for Olivia Natural Beauty's Aloe vera face cleanser, and replaced my moisturizer with their Essential action repair serum. As i'm currently working on introducing ethical fashion to Malaysia, it was very pleasant to learn that Olivia Natural Beauty is environmentally friendly and cruelty free. Their vegan body, hair and skin care lines are Australian Certified Organic products which are made from only pure and natural ingredients. In many countries, skin care products only need to be 5% natural to be called 'natural', and hence, we never really know what chemicals are hidden in our skin care products. I like the fact that these products are 100% natural, with ingredients from natural extracts such as organic aloe vera, organic cocoa butter, hibiscus extracts and green tea to name a few. My favourite part though? The ingredients are planted on Bali volcanic soil, making it organic right down to its roots. The refreshing and fragrant Rose Water, ideal for travelling. The Aloe Vera Cleansing Foam is addictive. With aloe vera and rosewood extracts, it is a gentle cleanser that hydrates and cleanses, leaving my skin soft and supple after every wash. Without chemicals, it contains no soap and thus is not too harsh. Coupled with the high amounts of moisturizing and healing compounds, it strikes a fine balance between cleansing and giving my skin an au naturel boost. Out of their range of best selling serums, I tried the Repair Serum. As each serum has its individual benefits, the repair serum targets scars, pigmentation and open pores. Putting its hydrating and restoring properties to work, I replaced my moisturizer with the serum. Serums work quickly as they are absorbed deeply into the skin with their small molecules. After toning, I spray a drop onto my palm and deeply inhale the calming aroma. If you are looking for a purely organic product, always watch out for 'fragrance' under the ingredients list. They are not essential oils but pure chemical concoctions harmful to our skin. Made from Aloe Vera, Calendula, Lavender, Cucumber and Rosehips, the serum's high concentrate of active ingredients also doubles as aromatherapy. Sixteen days in, my skin has a nice glow and my pores are visibly tightening. Another reason to go organic? Organic ingredients demonstrate antioxidant properties that support anti-ageing effects. We could buy a million dresses, but we've only got one go at taking care of our skin. As Linden Tyler puts it, "Invest in your skin. It is going to represent you for a long time." x, Annabelle. www.olivianaturalbeauty.com
