The body’s skin is our biggest organ – and while we put a lot of thought and effort into feeding the rest of our anatomy with the right stuff – we often forget to take note of what we place directly into our skin. The good news is, it is never too late to start.

It’s more than turning back the clock or concealing flaws; many organic and low-chemical skin care options are packed with nutrition that goes beyond skin deep. Here’s three ranges that we’re currently loving for their ability to nourish and generate beautiful healthy skin…

NIU SKINCARE: A complete health, beauty and wellbeing regime

Coconuts have been used in the tropics for thousands of years for cooking, nutritional supplements and skin care. Made from 100% organic extra virgin coconut oil, the NiuLife range is free from any synthetic chemicals, sulphates or phosphates.

Niu’s moisturiser is a great after-sun/post-run treatment, with research indicating that it can help improve skin conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.

NiuLife coconut oil isn’t just great for your body; it also contributes to creating a better life for our Pacific Island neighbours in the Solomon Islands.

KORA ORGANICS: the (role) model for healthy skin

Ok so Miranda Kerr is blessed with naturally beautiful skin, but there’s no doubt that her commitment to healthy living – which includes her KORA Organics Skincare range, yoga and super-clean diet – has a lot to do with her maintaining it. KORA’s products are infused with antioxidant rich noni, essential fatty acids, herbal extracts, essential oils and vitamin A, C and E.

We love KORA’s Balancing Rose Mist post-workout for nourished, re-hydrated skin; organically grown rose, noni, aloe and hibiscus provide an antioxidant boost that helps support the skin’s collagen production.

JANE IREDALE: looks great, feels amazing, performs miracles.

Jane Iredale is virtually the saint of skincare for women who love their makeup, without  harmful chemicals, gluten or animal products. Her non comedogenic mineral products prove that – with thorough scientific research and rigorous testing – it is possible to create flawless cosmetics that make skin feel as good as it looks.

Australians are more prone to skin cancer than any other nation; ironically, our healthy, outdoor lifestyle often leads to seriously sun damaged skin. Jane Iredale’s Sun Screen range protects against UVA and UVB rays, and is formulated with chemical-free sunscreen actives to provide true broad spectrum sun protection that’s water resistant for up to 40 minutes (the Powder Me sunscreen is ideal for preventing scalp burn). A bodyguard for your dermis, Jane Iredale’s products allow the skin to breathe, while trapping environmental pollutants and helping to prevent and reverse the signs of aging. They even have a great range for guys!
