The thought of rubbing synthetic chemicals all over our faces and bodies seems a bit scary, but the fact is that many beauty products have you doing just that.
Take SLS for example. Sodium lauryl sulphate is the chemical that makes products foam up, like shampoo and face wash. However, a natural alternative is glucosides, which is derived from sugar and is much kinder to your skin.
Choose natural body scrubs and body polishes with organic, exfoliating ingredients like sea salt and coconut instead.
