🌿 Reclaiming Your Skin: The Truth About Natural Beauty (And Why Plants Hold the Real Magic)
We’ve been told that beauty comes in jars.Glass bottles with gold lids.Pastel tubes with botanical names we can’t pronounce.
But here’s the truth: many of the so-called “natural” products on your shelf are anything but.
Most mainstream skincare – even the “organic” or “greenwashed” ones – still contain:
Hormone disruptors (hello, endocrine chaos)
Synthetic preservatives and fragrances
Fillers that do nothing to nourish the skin
Ingredients that dry, irritate, or inflame
And the worst part?
Many of us never question it. Because we trust the label. We trust the brand.
And we’ve been taught to distrust our own knowing.
🌸 The Skin-Hormone Connection No One Talks About
Your skin is not a barrier — it’s a living, breathing organ that absorbs what you put on it.
Many beauty products don’t just sit on your skin — they enter your bloodstream.
That means what you use daily could be contributing to:
PMS, mood swings, and hormonal imbalance
Fertility issues and peri/menopausal symptoms
Skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and cystic acne
You deserve better than that. And the answer isn’t another serum.
It’s going back to the plants. The real ones. The ones growing at your feet.
🍃 Herbal Beauty: What It Really Means
Real herbal beauty isn’t just switching brands.
It’s switching beliefs.
It’s remembering that your body is wise. Your skin is sacred. And beauty is cyclical, seasonal, and deeply personal.
At our Herbal Beauty Alchemy Workshop in South West Wales, we spend three days:
🌿 Foraging together in the meadow and woodland, reconnecting with the plants that once kept our ancestors well
🌸 Making skincare that actually supports your hormones — not disrupts them
💄 Creating natural makeup (like mascara, foundation, lip gloss) from ingredients you trust
🌿 Making vinegars, tinctures, and capsules that heal you from the inside out
🫖 Sharing stories, drinking herbal teas, and reclaiming what beauty feels like when it’s rooted in nature
Because real beauty isn’t flawless skin or perfect brows.
It’s feeling safe in your body. Seen in your truth. Connected to the Earth.
