My Favorite Cosmetics

Let me start off by saying my favorite cosmetics are from Suzanne Somers because I love the ingredients she puts in them. They are very hydrating and clean. Always remember what you put on your skin is just as important as what goes into your digestive tract. It disrupts hormone production and can make you very sick, as I was.

The toxic burden can also make you very blotted and fat. Now there are organic skincare and cosmetics that preform well. Be ware of the word natural. It can be misleading. Read the labels to make sure it is to your standards.

Here are a few I love:

• Suzanne Somers

• Zulu Luxe (sold at Tau health store) the new store in Laval on Saint Martin is gorgeous. Check out the cosmetics. There is also one in Pointe Claire.

• Anne Marie Borland (Tau)

• Gabriel cosmetics (Tau)

• Bite Beauty (Sephora)

• Tarte (Sephora)

• Josie Marian (Sephora) (Her Argan oil is great and hydrates a great deal)

• 100 Percent Pure

• Pure Ananda Natural Cosmetics

You have many to choose from depending on what you want and your budget.

I have personally tried all of these and they are all great. Some are totally toxic free like Suzanne Somers and 100 pure and some have fewer chemicals, either way you can lesson your toxic burden with all these. Indulge!

An Allergic Reaction to Toothpaste

            After all the moisturizing I was doing, I was still getting very dry at the corners of my mouth. One night, my daughter Tiffany had her friend, Chelsea Brossard, come over and we started talking about skincare, as we always do. She mentioned that SLS in toothpaste can cause some people dryness in their mouth, which was something she found herself having trouble with for a little while. It was then I realized that I had run out of my usual toothpaste and started using regular commercial ones until I would buy more of my own. It was then the sores and dryness started. So I realized I had to quickly go back to my own brand, Kiss My Face, which is free of SLS and everything went away.

            Imagine, SLS is an ingredient I'm allergic to! More and more, younger people like Chelsea are very well informed and take the time to research. I was amazed at how much Chelsea knew. You always need to do your own research on any matter. That's how I got where I am today!

            I feel great and it’s because I don't trust the products on the shelves. You may think they are fine, but many times they are not. Make sure to read the ingredients. Although it does take me longer to shop, I believe my body deserves it! Watch what you ingest, do your research and you will be less sick! I was lazy to buy my toothpaste and look what happened… We can't control all the chemicals around us, but we can control what we ingest.

Cheers to healthy aging!
