Unlocking the basics of green beauty

February 26, 2014

basics of green beauty

One part of the journey to becoming A Conscious Beauty, is making conscious choices every day about what we put on our skin, hair and nails.

We love bringing you beautiful products and spectacular ingredients, but we also recognise that some of you might be just starting out on A Conscious Beauty journey. Overwhelming yes, we know that feeling all too well, so we want to make it easy for you.

My personal journey has been over 15 years of discovery, from a pimply faced teenager to a young woman, I am still learning the good from the bad. As our world becomes filled with more and more (often hidden) toxic nasties, it is important that you have a basic understanding of what is in your beauty products.

Favourite Finds – Jacqueline Evans Jojoba & Camellia Balancing Cream

February 17, 2014

The Jacqueline Evans skincare range first caught my attention in an unusual way when she was featured on one of my favourite design blogs – The Design Files. It was her ‘Tasty Tuesday’ fare and attention to the Hippocrates concept of ‘food is medicine’ that made me think this Melbourne Naturopath is really on to something.

Of course, it was fitting that a Naturopath whose goal is to nourish the skin from the inside out, would also create one of the most beautiful Organic Skincare ranges on the market. And did I say the packaging is bold yet elegant? Music to my ears!

The Jacqueline Evans range definitely ticks all the boxes on A Conscious Beauty’s checklist – and some. Her products are 100% Australian owned and made, use the highest quality botanicals, cold pressed oils and are enriched with vitamins and herbals.

Good For You Ingredients – Argan Oil

January 29, 2014

lariese argan oil

I love oils! You know I’m head over heals for Coconut Oil but one oil which has recently grabbed my attention is Moroccan Argan Oil. It was an oil that I had heard of but never indulged in, until by chance I was given a bottle as a secret Santa present in December (my friends know me well!).

Moroccan Argan Oil (argania spinosa) is a very rare and special tree, as it is only grown in the dry and harsh environment of South West Morocco. The Berber women of the region have known of it’s healing properties for hundreds of years time but its popularity as a cosmetic ingredient has increased in the Western world in the last 5 years.

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.
