When it comes to taking care of ourselves, it is equally important to take care of both our inside as well as our outside. Our skin is our body’s largest organ so it should be an important part of our healthcare regime. Our skin serves as a protective barrier between our insides and the outside world. It helps regulate our body temperature and acts as a filter.
Our skin is in a constant state of growth as old cells die and new cells are formed. It is a fact that healthy skin is better able to fight off signs of aging, has the ability to heal faster and staves off potential disease.
As skin plays such an important role in our health and well-being, I do a lot of research when it comes to the products I use it. In my research, I found a company that makes a great line of skincare products. They are called Block Island Organics (www.blockislandorganics.com) Block Island Organics is a family-owned company that is run, in majority, by women (girl power!!) and is located on Block Island, Rhode Island.
What I love about this company is that all of their products are free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, dyes and artificial fragrances. Plus, they use only vegan-based formulas and they don’t do animal testing of any kind.
My favorite product of theirs is the Organic Purifying Facial Cleanser. The cleanser is produced with an organic and natural formula; made with botanical ingredients and rich in antioxidants. It cleanses the skin gently while maintaining a moisture balance so delicate facial skin won’t dry out (even more important in the upcoming winter months!)
I love using this cleanser just after completing a sweaty workout! It removes build-up, impurities and makeup residue and leaves my skin feeling very refreshed. The ingredients include rosehip, chamomile, sunflower, avocado and olive. Because it’s packed with vitamins (like C&E) I know I am enriching and revitalizing my skin.
Block Island Organics makes other great products (moisturizer, sunscreen, and revitalizing night cream). All the products are packed with antioxidants and are made from all-natural ingredients. Because they produce a line of non-toxic products, you can feel confident that you are doing right by your skin.
Rather than buying products from a big name, mass production company, I feel good purchasing items that have been made with care and attention. I trust that a family-owned company like Block Island Organics, is going to put more care and thought in to their products because they focus on only a handful of items -and they do them extremely well!
I encourage you to try out one (or all!) of their products. Check out their website (www.blockislandorganics.com) this Sunday 11/8 through Saturday 11/14 and get 20% off using this coupon code: jessicab . . . You’ll won’t be disappointed!
