I moisturize my skin on a regular basis, as I know it helps to promote skin’s elasticity and prevent drying, which can lead to premature ageing. Hence I am always on the lookout for a good natural lotion, as I use them so often. I do not have overly dry skin, but practice prevention before I get there. So, I decided to write about a lotion that I no longer use or have used for a while, for reasons that will be explained, but one that I thought would be important to write about. This lotion is by the famous Vaseline brand and it is called “Aloe & Naturals”.
The lotion is not thick, or greasy. It goes on well and absorbs fast. As far as long lasting effects, don’t expect much out of this one. It has a nice pleasant and fresh scent. Okay, so that is the good, now the bad.
The reason I felt that it was important to review and write about this product, is because it is an excellent example of how misleading companies are in their labeling and packaging and how easy it is to fool and instill a false sense of safety in the average consumer. And many will be fooled (like me in the past) that this variety of the Vaseline line is somehow better, i.e. more natural, then their other varieties, and would be safer for my overall health. Unfortunately the above is false.
I have just come across a fantastic video for Evolving Wellness, by reading a blog I enjoy called, Fertilehealthy. It is one of those videos that is worth spreading to as many people as possible, as it cleverly illustrates with humour a sad reality which many of us live in when it comes to our health and our unwillingness to open up our mind for a change and see what really is going on. Check out the video and then read on for some more information with regards to treatment versus prevention when it comes to your health.
Wow - it is hard to believe that this, only our second month has passed on Evolving Wellness, as things have been busy in a very exciting way!
We continue to hear from many new readers on a weekly basis and hope to inspire and meet many new ones yet to come!
At the start of the month, Evolving Wellness was recognized by David from davidnotes.com who is the author of a lovely blog called Virginia Breeze. I am touched to say that David awarded me (Evolving Wellness), “Best Comment in a Long Time Award”. Check out the following link to see David’s beautiful post about Evolving Wellness and to get to know more about this award and how you can get it :)
In the middle of the month, we hosted a 5 part longevity series on “How to Live a Long and Healthy Life” based on the Horizon BBC documentary “How to live to 101″.
We finished the month off by celebrating Earth Day and adding the ever so valuable Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database to our very useful for your health, resource page.
This month, many new recipes and reviews joined our site. And the most popular articles, were actually two that debated the health safety of the new product called Clorox Green Works.
Scheduled for May, I would like to do a “Be Sun Smart Series” and continue with Part 2 of learning how to read personal product labels, to choose the safest products possible, for your health!
And as always if there is a health topic you are interested in, let me know and I will be glad to research and/or write about it!
