5 reasons to love September

Go Organic

If you’re looking to change up your diet and introduce healthier options into your meals, try going organic this month. The Soil Association is launching their campaign to encourage people to change their shopping habits and buy organic this September. There are tonnes of reasons why organic foods are healthier for us: they are less likely to be contaminated by chemicals and pesticides, the standards of animal welfare are higher, and the methods of harvesting are less damaging for the environment.

Not only is organic produce great for us on the inside, it can also work wonders for us on the outside too. Companies such as Odylique and MOA specialise in creating skincare products that are made from completely organic products. These are much gentler on the skin as they contain fewer irritants. The ingredients are also of a very high quality as they have been grown without added pesticides or chemicals. These all-natural creams are great for our skin, as skincare expert Charlie Fowler explains: ‘There are many natural ingredients which are extremely effective in combating ageing and have been used for centuries and proven both scientifically and over time to keep the skin supple and protected’. Shake up the way you shop this month to benefit both the environment and your health!
