Pre wedding, taking care of your skin and yourself is very important.  Start a good exercise routine, even if you are just going for a brisk walk, every day.  Drink plenty of water and eat loads of organic fruit and vegetables.  An organic raw food diet can help you shed those unwanted kilograms, shows in your skin tone and also helps you stay full of energy and vitality.  A good beauty routine is crucial to keep your skin glowing and toxin free.  There is only one alternative and that is organic. 

With this in mind, I contacted a number of organic and fair trade beauty and skin care manufacturers, locally.  On Saturday, I invited a group of very excited women to my home.  They had their pick of the most fabulous products from Esse, Soil and The Victorian Garden.  I have given them the week to “play” with their new products and asked them to rate the products for you. 

However, it was not long before I had phone calls from these women, declaring their undying love for the products they selected.  I have to say that I am not surprised, because nothing beats organic skin care and results are visible, almost immediately, especially from Esse, Soil and The Victorian Garden.  Please look at my green vendors list for contact details on Esse, Soil and The Victorian Garden.  Also, remember to come back next week for the eco hearts on each of the beauty products tested. You may also click on the names and link through to their individual sites.  

Unfortunately some of the suppliers did not make the deadline but are definitely worth a mention: Pure Beginnings and Imbali.  If you have anything to add on one of these suppliers please email to myecowedding@telkomsa.net.

To purchase these products  and other similar products online please go to www.faithful-to-nature.co.za.  This is a fabulous website and has a vast range of eco friendly, organic and natural local products, from skin care to books and literature.

Thanks for stopping by.
