As a women’s health acupuncturist specialising in fertility, I take a holistic approach, looking at all
the reasons why a patient might be finding it difficult to conceive. One of my biggest concerns is the beauty products they use, and in particular the harmful effects of chemicals and plastics found in many of the products on the market today.
It’s been the subject of many research papers and books such as Countdown by Dr Shanna Swan, one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists. Harmful chemicals have been shown to affect hormone production over the decades, leading to reduced fertility in both men and women.
When you think about it, the skin is your biggest organ. Therefore, what you put on your body is just as important as what you put into it. As a result, not only am I very careful about what I use on my own skin but I advise my patients to be mindful too, in order to prevent hormone disruptors entering the body.
This is why I’m so excited to be partnering with, and promoting, a skincare collection that’s free from harmful chemicals.
I’m delighted to be stocking Tropic skincare, which is made from 100% natural ingredients from tropical regions around the world, and even comes in plastic-free packaging. A certified CarbonNeutralⓇ company at the forefront of natural ingredient research, Tropic stands with PETA and The Vegan Society as a 100% cruelty-free brand.
Tropic’s make-up, skincare and bodycare is free from:
I trust Tropic on my own skin, and I’d love you to give it a try too. Everything comes with a 30-day guarantee (so you can return a product for a full refund if you’re not happy with it) and it all smells absolutely gorgeous. See the range for yourself at your next acupuncture appointment, or shop online via my website.
