Vitamins and minerals are a crucial component when it comes to good health both inside and out. They help aid the process of healthy skin cell turnover and renewal, build strong bones, and promote good vision. Vitamins and minerals also offer many aesthetic benefits like treating  common skin problems such as acne and aging. Moreover, some vitamins also fight free radicals, which are known for disrupting the balance of good health.
Read your labels carefully to ensure that the SOURCE OF YOUR VITAMINS is from whole FOOD or is plant based.  Synthetic vitamins are vitamins indeed, but the body can use very very little of their contents. Check your products online or on the label and put them back on the shelf if they do not offer optimum support for your health.
Next, ask these questions about your vitamins:
Are they whole food based?
Is it vegetarian? (vegan is even better for health)?
Are they all natural?
Are they additive free?
Do they contain binders?
Are they allergen free?  (No soy, wheat, dairy)
Now, find out which vitamins are the most important in vegan skin care and why you should take them.
Vitamin A is commonly found in a lot of vegan skin care products, and for good reason! This vitamin contains retinol , a compound that is used to treat severe acne disorders. Retinol is used as a remedy for psoriasis.
Vitamin C is good for fighting the effects of aging and long term sun exposure(both of which often go hand in hand).
Vitamin B is an important vitamin when it comes to alleviating severely dried skin and a lack of this vitamin can cause hair loss.
Zinc is a good mineral that helps slow down your skin’s natural oil production which in thus halts moderate to severe acne problems.
Copper has a more complex purpose as it develops and strengthens your skin’s natural elasticity.
The five vitamins and minerals listed above are important when it comes to a healthy vegan skin care routine. Some will be found in your vegan skin care products and some won’t. To cover all bases, you can take a daily supplement vitamin to complete your adequate nutrition needs. Or you can avoid fast food, prepared foods, processed foods and substitute whole foods, lots of green leafy veggies, plant-based protein, fruits nuts and seeds to get your nutrition from food itself. You may have to change some old habits and relearn how to cook given a new ingredients list but, you can do it.  The food is both nutritious and delicious.
If in doubt, check with your doctor or nutritionalist.

Summer days and nights can be very hot and uncomfortable.  The popular choice is to take a swim in a friend’s swimming pool or in the nearest body of water.  For those times when you’re not cooling down in the water, you’re going to want a good deodorant.  But it’s important to be careful when choosing a healthy deodorant because many mainstream deodorantscontain fragrance, petro-chemicals, irritants, and ALUMINUM.  While some companies are becoming wise to the dangers of aluminum, many deodorants still have it as a main ingredient.  Aluminum is very unhealthy and suffocates the skin, so choosing a deodorant without aluminum is a must.

The Day I Became Aware of Natural Hair Products

The day I was introduced to natural hair products helped me to become organic and aware.   A haircut became quite the educational eye opener.  As the aesthetician massaged my neck, she filled the room with healing soothing aromatherapy.  I relaxed and began to feel alive, energized, and at ease.

She and the salon owner talked to me while she cut my hair and educated me about the wonderful products.  I learned something upsetting, but it opened my eyes.  For years, I had followed my Mom’s strange ritual of applying baby oil to my face after washing it with a supposed skin-softening soap bar, and washing my hair with not natural hair care products.
