Ever since childhood I never really cared for my skin or hair or just about anything physical. That kind of attitude may have been present since as a child I always had smooth and soft skin even if my soap were Safeguards and other bar soaps that strip off skin with all the essential oils. Hitting the age of late teens my skin started changing, getting drier after every bath unlike what it used to be.
My Lola used to buy me lotions when I was still studying, it did help and everything was fine, I did even buy the same kind of lotions after I started working. But as usual, the me who likes to read ended up searching for what I’ve been slapping on my skin. Review sites showed me that all those lotions contained chemicals that was really harmful for the skin, and these chemicals were even linked in causing cancer. Being a lotion addict, I was instantly converted to go organic.
First I searched for international organic products, since I never really thought that there are products available here in the Philippines. The international products that resulted my searches were too expensive and shipping costs would also kill me. I was feeling hopeless in my search for organic products, but thankfully I was able to find organic products made here in my country, they are cheap compared to the international counterparts and the shipping costs are affordable too!
Falling hair and itchy scalp are also part of my problems lately so I decided to buy organic shampoos and conditioners too. Now, my shampoo, conditioner, soaps and lotions are all organic. I got my soaps from Ilog Maria, while I got my shampoos, conditioners and lotions from Human Heart Nature.
I’m currently loving my Bamboo Charcoal Bergamot & Lime Soap and Lavender Soap from Ilog Maria, I haven’t tried out the other soap variants I bought from them. And I’m loving the lotions and conditioner from Human Heart Nature. I do hope the shampoo would do well on my hair fall problem, like how the Lavender Soap helped me in my sleeping problem, with our shift change just this week; I’m now working every morning, I’m no longer a nocturnal person.
I don’t find myself regretting on this big organic switch, and I think I would continue with this lifestyle. Sorry for the vain post!
