Beauty Food Nourish and Heal

Why is a healthy gut important to beautiful skin?

December 16, 2013

In the quest for glowing skin, I can’t help but notice all this talk about the correlation between gut health and the quality of your skin. It seems that the terms probiotic, prebiotic, gut-friendly and fermented are popping up all over the place – but what does this all mean for our skin?

A couple of recent articles lead me to delve a little deeper into the subject – the first by local Sydney beauty and Naturopath Carla Oates aka The Beauty Chef and the second from Paleo expert Dr Chris Kresser, who has a significant interest in skin health. He puts it very simply – “if you want to heal your skin, you have to heal your gut”. Need you say more Chris!

Coconut oil – The most universal oil in the pantry

December 9, 2013

You may have noticed from a recent post that A Conscious Beauty is a pretty nuts about coconut especially for the positive effect this good fat has on our insides. If that wasn’t enough proof, today we want to blow you away with what this wondrous little oil can do for our outer beauty.

In our household, the main way we use coconut oil externally is by applying it direct to the skin as a simple moisturiser. I love to use a more fragrant brand of oil because when I apply it to my skin, the smell is a lovely little reminder of our island holidays. Coconut oil is also great for treating moisture loss with our hair. Spoil yourself once in a while by applying the oil to the ends of your hair as a simple (and cheap) deep-conditioning hair mask.

Hello Beauties of the world!

December 2, 2013

Hello and welcome beauties of the world, we are so excited to see you here in this magical space!

Now that we have your attention for a moment, you may be wondering who, what, when, how, why? Huh?

A Conscious Beauty was born in the early months of 2013 by two Sydney ladies and friends – Katherine and Ruby. It was during our weekend walks together, that we started to realise that we had something special in common.

We frequently chatted about how we were trying to master self-love, understand WTF clean eating was all about, natural beauty and how we could achieve all this while living in the big city. We knew we were not alone and wanted to share our journey towards holistic beauty with as many women possible.
