Exfoliating has always been my favourite skincare

Exfoliating has always been my favourite skincare step. It’s also a very important step in your skin care routine. Aside from clearing away dry and dead skin, a regular exfoliation habit increases the skins radiance, clarity, and youthfulness, and that’s just the start. ⁠
⁠
Other benefits include: ⁠
🌿 it unclogs pores ⁠
🌿 prevents acne ⁠
🌿 helps other skincare products penetrate deeper ⁠
🌿 evens skin tone ⁠
🌿 boosts circulation ⁠
🌿 increases cell turnover ⁠
🌿 stimulates collagen production

Whether freshly picked from the tree or the superm

Whether freshly picked from the tree or the supermarket, give your fruits and veggies a little scrub before eating to ensure you aren’t consuming any unwanted dirt or microbes.

We were devastated last month to see Sri Lanka bur

We were devastated last month to see Sri Lanka burdened with one of its worst marine pollution crises. Due to a container ship catching fire off the coast vast quantities of oil, hazardous chemicals and plastic pellets were released into the ocean.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The most immediate impact seen from this disaster was the nearly 78 metric tonnes of pre-production plastic pellets – commonly called nurdles – that washed up on the beaches of Sri Lanka, sadly along with countless numbers of dead sea life including at least 115 turtles, 15 dolphins and 5 whales.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Once in the environment nurdles are almost impossible to completely remove and the toxic chemicals spilled alongside the nurdles in Sri Lanka adds complexity to the situation as over time the plastic will absorb chemical toxins from the ocean environment which will lead to bioaccumulation in the food chain.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This is a great reminder for those of us far removed from this situation about the wider implications of using plastics. It is not just about the one plastic straw you may use and carefully dispose of. At every step on the journey from oil to plastic bag/straw/bottle/etc there are countless spillages and losses of plastic material that escape into the environment. This is something to be mindful of next time you have a choice of plastic or sustainable alternative🌏⁠⁠
