Getting Started

Our advice for choosing which products to swap out first is to choose the ones that touch your skin on a daily basis. These are entering your system more often and might be doing more harm to your body. First swap out your aluminium-based antiperspirant and change to an all-natural deodorant, like Schmidt's sensitive range. Second up is moisturiser and cleanser — they are used daily on your face, sometimes even twice a day, so they should always be a priority. Try Neighbourhood Botanicals Cleanser and then a simple few drops of an oil like jojoba or marula as a moisturiser.

Next is your body wash and body lotion. Again, both of these are used often and should be helping your skin, not harming it. Try the Weleda range: it's affordable and smells great. Lastly, your lip balm and lipstick should be the first things to go in your makeup bag. We ingest these products more often than we realise and they can have some of the highest levels of toxic ingredients in them. Hurraw is a brilliant natural lip balm, and the brand also makes a tinted lip colour that's a great alternative to lipstick too.
