Story: New Year, New Skin

It's a scary thought, but 2016 is only three weeks away, soon the floodgates will open with information on the latest health detox trends, fads, and gadgets. Many people however, fail to cleanse their body's largest organ - their skin! 
 
A Natural Instinct skin and hair detox is the perfect accompaniment to a health detox as our skin is the largest organ of detoxification. If you're using 100% natural skincare then your expelling the toxic nasties being eliminated from your body each day instead of clogging your skin with more toxic chemicals. 
 
It's been proven that its not only what you eat but what you put on your body that is vital to your overall health. Sixty percent of what we use on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream, and many of the ingredients used in conventional personal care products such as mineral oils, synthetic preservatives and parabens have been known to cause underlying health problems such as allergies and estrogen imbalances.

Many people don't know that a regulated certified standard for 'natural' skincare doesn't exist in either New Zealand and Australia. As such, many skincare brands claim to be natural or organic without actually being so. To make it easier for consumers, Natural Instinct created their own Natural Ingredient Standard (NIS), which they say keeps them "honest" and assures you their products are 100% natural, all the way down to their packaging.  
 
Through the creation of their NIS, Natural Instinct are free from over 400 proven harmful and potentially harmful chemicals. This is increasingly important as the average woman wears approximately 515 chemicals a day on their skin and scalp. And as proven by numerous studies, many of today's hair and skincare complaints such as oily skin, sensitivity, acne, and eczema, can actually be cause by or intensified by the chemicals we apply to our body every day.
 
So after the countless late night Christmas parties which are sure to come, Natural Instinct's 100% natural skin and hair range is the perfect way to beat weeks of overindulgence and refresh your beauty regime for 2016.
 
Natural Instinct's full range of  face, body, hair, sunscreen and fragrance free products are available at selected pharmacies and health food stores around the country.
