Recently I have been introduced to some absolutely stunning organic products, courtesy of World Organics. The following products I’m going to talk about are divine, it’s actually going to be hard for me to find the words to adequately describe them to give them justice. I was blown away by the quality and feel of each product below. The ingredients, the packaging, the dreamy scents. How did I not know about these products before! World Organics, founded by 5th generation naturopath and herbalist Megan Douglas, is quite unique in how they use a cutting edge process called Supercritical Extracts. This process unlocks maximum therapeutic benefits of over twenty plants to deliver potent organic herbal extracts. So potent, they are up to 200 times more concentrated than upscale beauty brands. They are natural, certified organic and vegan friendly!  River Veda’s Everyday Bamboo and Shea Face Exfoliant What an amazing feeling it is to scrub my face with this exfoliant, the tiny little bamboo particles are so delicate and fine, I don’t think I have felt a scrub such as this one before, it feels luxurious and pleasurable and has just the right amount of bamboo to remove dry skin. I like to take my time using this scrub, this is the type of exfoliant I can imagine an eco-salon would use for a luxury facial treatment. Combined with rose damascena, shea butter, jojoba, sunflower seed and bamboo stem extract. Bamboo contains 70% silica, which means it's fantastic for rejuvenating skin and reducing acne. Honeysuckle flowers also help to relieve skin inflammation and the scent of this delicate asian flower is beautiful. The River Veda range is inspired by Ayurveda. Packed with supercritical extracts and an understanding of the intelligence of plants, herbs, seeds and flowers.  The Organic Skin Co. Juniper Berry Face Wash I was so excited to see that this face wash contained juniper berry, it's always been a favourite ingredient of mine, but isn't always easy to find in products. I love juniper berry, the fresh woodsy scent of it and I’ve known about the amazing properties the berries has on skin, it's a great toner and helps to prevent blemishes and smooth skin. Containing other botanical extracts of rose, aloe vera, sweet orange, shea, honeysuckle, indian gooseberry. It has a light foam action. Great for oily skin and gentle enough to be used effectively on sensitive skin conditions such as eczema. My skin felt and looked very fresh after using it. The Organic Skin Co. range is a premium makeup brand, incorporating supercritical extracts.  River Veda's Everyday honeysuckle moisturizer The scent of this moisturiser is one of the most beautiful scents I've come across, I could literally sniff it all day long, which is what I do sometimes! The aromatherapy powers of this bring my mind to laying in a summer field of delicate flowers, I can’t get enough of it! Along with the moisturinsg properties, I have to say, i’m addicted this! Honeysuckle is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, so it helps to reduce scarring and evens out pigmentation. It contains ylang ylang oil, which must contribute to this exotic scent, along with the honeysuckle flower, it literally calms my mind and lifts my spirits. Also containing rose, aloe, coconut, shea, rosehip, evening primrose, jojoba, rosemary, tumeric and Indian gooseberry. Great for oily and acne prone skin, but also for mature and ageing skin, as it has a medium creamy texture. It absorbs very nicely and sits well under make-up. Another highlight of all of these products is the packaging, I just love the style of the metallic tubes and it's a nice change from plastics. All of the beautiful products can be purchsed from the World Organics website, an Australasian based family company committed to providing the highest quality products containing the best natural plant ingredients that nature has to offer. How to achieve perfect workout skin
Exercise is great for mental, physical and emotional health, however it can wreak havoc on skin. That ‘after workout glow’ doesn’t always live up to pre-conceived expectations (thanks Instagram), often leaving skin feeling irritated and sticky from sweat. If proper methods are not taken to cleanse skin after a workout, a build-up of toxins, grime and dirt can result in clogged pores, oily skin and breakouts. Megan Douglas, founder of premium certified organic skincare and makeup brand, World Organics, explains the importance of incorporating a skincare routine when working out. “Before and after exercise, people tend to focus on stretching and nourishment through food, which means they often forget about other important aspects, such as skin maintenance. Working out doesn’t mean compromising on beautiful skin, it just means implementing a few quick and easy tricks to ensure that your complexion remains healthy and glowing.” “Pores can remain open for several minutes after a workout, so using skincare and makeup such as the River Veda and The Organic Skin Co. range is important. These products are made using Supercritical Extraction, a cutting-edge process that delivers super-pure and super-potent organic plant extracts that gift your skin with mother nature’s goodness. These products help to close pores and minimise the chances of experiencing a breakout.” With summer workout prep in full swing, Megan shares her top tips for maintaining flawless, clean and blemish-free skin before, during, and after a workout: Pre workout
During a workout
Megan Douglas is a fifth generation naturopath and qualified herbal practitioner who passionately believes that a natural, holistic lifestyle can change our lives for the better. As part of a family boasting four generations of naturopaths and herbalists, Megan harnessed this accumulated knowledge and retrained as a herbalist and naturopath. Megan began to identify common chronic illness trends within her client base – everything from skin and fertility issues to chronic fatigue. She recognised that general toxic stress and toxic environmental overload was clearly contributing to many of these conditions. It quickly became apparent that it wasn’t just the quality of what people were eating that was causing issues to their wellbeing, it was what they were putting onto their skin and allowing in their home environment that was cause for concern as well. Armed with the skills to develop healthy skincare solutions, Megan established World Organics in 2011, proudly providing the next generation of organic skincare and makeup.

Air fresheners, toothpaste, shampoo, the list goes on...... the good news is all of these toxic products listed in this article can be replaced with natural alternatives.
 Australian made and hand crafted - Hibou Naturel – enchanted range, is a gentle and deliciously tropical smelling anti-acne skincare range. Designed for oily, combination and acne prone skin. A few of the natural ingredients in this 3 step system are wild orange essential oil, pawpaw, vanilla infused jojoba oil and calendula. All of these ingredients help to reduce inflammation and control the oiliness of your skin. Made from natural and certified organic ingredients, suitable for men and women, as the subdued unisex scent smells like a tropical rainforest. The Enchanted Cleanser – a gentle cleanser containing orange essential oil to help regulate oil production and regenerate skin cells. I love it when I can use a cleanser morning and night and feel safe in the knowledge that the ingredients are actually helping my skin. The cleanser is a gel consistency and lathers up very nicely. The orange essential oil also promotes collagen, so is great for anti-ageing benefits. Rosemary extract is helpful for oily skin and improving skin tone.

I love using this on hot summer days, espcially when I return from the beach. The light scent is lovely and refreshing. Ingredients: lavandula angustifolia (Lavender infused water), citrus aurantium (orange blossom) infused water The Enchanted Lotion – containing the citric benefits of orange essential oil and pawpaw fruit extract, mango butter, grapefruit extract and infused vanilla pods. You know that saying, if a product contains ingredients you wouldn't want to ingest, you shouldn't put it on your skin! This is a product which actually sounds good enough to eat, the ingredients are so pure and natural. This lotion has the perfect consistency for oily skin, I found that it moisturises perfectly, doesn't leave any residue, at the same time keeps any dryness at bay. A wonderful and soothing after sun lotion too, I used it after I accidently had a bit too much sun over the holidays!

This is very scary. The Australian federal police have issued a warning to the public after a deadly chemical was found in a fake eyelash glue removal product. The brands aren't mentioned, but the products are coming from China, so please be careful!
