Our skin is our biggest organ and what we put on it can have ramifications for different aspects of our health. If you’re thinking more about the impact of the makeup, skincare and personal care products you use, my guest on today’s episode of Period Story shares a lot of great information. Sjaniël Turrell is a holistic makeup artist, nutritional therapist and conscious consultant who focuses on a natural and sustainable approach to beauty.

In this episode, Sjaniël shares:

• How the intensity of lockdown exacerbated the perimenopause symptoms she was experiencing
• How perimenopause made her get clear on what she does and doesn’t have capacity for
• The direction her nutritional therapy qualification took her work as a makeup artist
• Why we need to think differently about the makeup, skincare and personal care products we use
• Why fragranced products, including cleaning products and menstrual products are the number thing in your home you should consider switching
• The natural and organic brands she recommends, including RMS Beauty, Ilia Beauty, Madara, Kosas and Ere Perez
• Natural and organic makeup brands (and tips!) for dark-skinned and mixed race women
• And of course, the story of her first period

Sjaniël says that if you’re looking at switching to natural, organic and sustainable versions of the products you use, do the best you can afford in that moment and do the best you can with what you have.

Thank you, Sjaniël!
