After we’re all showered and ready to go, what we put on our skin makes a huge difference in our health. While mainstream cosmetics and personal care products have toxic ingredients and force the body to spend energy to ‘detoxify’, Miessence products are natural, actually nourish your body from the outside in. By reducing your toxic load, your body isn’t overwhelmed and you end up looking younger and healthier! And based on personal experience, I don’t believe it’s the sun that prematurely ages us- I haven’t used sunscreen in over 7 years, but I also have stopped using most of the products that put a toxic load on my body through my food and skin care.
Joanna owns Actual Organics which empowers you to Detox your Body and our World™ through simple tips and programs that give achievable ways to remove toxins from your life which can improve your health and the health of the planet. Joanna is an independent rep with ONEGroup creators of Miessence- the world’s first certified organic skincare range. Miessence is made with certified organic ingredients and many products are organically certified to food grade standards. What we use on our skin matters, what we eat matters too.
It’s against Facebook‘s rules to ask you to share this giveaway on Facebook in order to get an entry, but we’d love it if you would anyway!

I’d get the Jaffa lip balm and the sunflower body wash.
I use vinegar and baking soda for almost all my cleaning. And I use cloth menstrual pads.
Oh how I could use the Miessence foundation! One of the things I really really should replace to a organic version!
I would use my 25$ for the Protect Hair Repair!
I tweeted the giveaway (@aurelielb).
And I posted it on Facebook!!!
Lastly, I recently replaced all of my beauty products with products by 100% Pure, Cocoon Apothecary, and other healthy, non-toxic brand. I also gave up my cleaning products to use baking soda and vinegar. My home is now chemical free! Next step: detoxifying the husband
I would love to try any of the products! The fact that they are made every 6weeks is wonderfully fresh!! I would love to try the toothpaste first as I am so tired of what I use now!!
I would love to try the purifying cleanser for my oily and super sensitive skin.
I first replaced my conventional laundry detergent with Seventh Generation, and am now going even more natural with soap nuts.
Ohhh I’m a huge beauty product fan! What a great giveaway. I would use the $25 for some bronzer and lip creme.
We have switched out everything in our house to natural products…detergent, all purpose cleaner, bathroom products, etc. My favorite is using basic soap (Dr. Bronners) and water to clean the floors, instead of stinky chemical gunk!
I emailed 5 of my family/friends and forwarded on the giveaway! Thanks!
I’d like to try the clarifying hair rinse, the mint toothpaste, and the cleansing bar-tea tree if I won
I’d get the lip balm and some baby products.
I would love to try her mineral foundation powder.
bronzer, lip cream, or hair repair
I use baking soda and vinegar for cleaning as well. I also use Seventh Generation products and lots of essential oils – lavender being my absolute favorite!!
I’ve been wanting to try their deodorant, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I would like to try a perfume sample.
A product I’ve replaced in body care is making my own shampoo instead of buying the kind with lots of unpronouncible chemicals.
I would love to try their foundation or perfume!
I have replaced to better shampoos, soaps and toothpaste

I would love the perfume sample pack.!
I use baking soda and white vinegar for most of my household cleaning. I use a steam mop and a steam sprayer for really deep sanitizing cleaning!
I would love to switch my mascara over to something I feel more comfortable putting near my eyes!!

Weve switched nearly everything over. I use vinegar and baking soda instead of shampoo, the rest of the family uses organic shampoos. We use Seventh Generation household cleaners, we use cloth diapers and menstrual pads, tooth powder and deoderant stones… I’m sure theres more.
Hi! I would get the balancing cleanser for my skin, lip balm, and whatever else I need at the time.
Thank you for this giveaway!
The Black Mascara, I am not to crazy about “store-bought”,
I would love to try the Intensive Body Cream.
I would try the mineral foundation.
I have replaced traditional face cleanser with the oil cleaning method…I love it!
oh i’d love this! i haven’t worn makeup for so long!!!!
I would purchase the healthy bathroom pack. I am due to have a baby in 8 weeks and want to go as natural as possible when it comes to my own health!
Congratulations on your pregnancy, best wishes for a peaceful time. Nurturing yourself is easy with Miessence as the products are good enough to eat, especially the certified organic baby range.
I’d love to try the Miessence Balancing Cleanser.
bronzer
At age 57 I need to think about using some products to keep my skin looking youthful. I’d like to try the Garnet Exfoliant.
I suggest the Ambrosia essence or using the Rejuvenessence serum as they are both fabulous for nurturing and feeding the skin with vital oils.
So Cool! I just heard of these people and their products look awesome! I’d love to use my gift card on Miessence Cosmetics.
Wow. Throughout my health journey I’ve switched up a lot of products for healthier versions. I’ve switched up my toothpaste to an all natural ayurvedic toothpaste. Soap is now Dr. Bronners for everything. I use Tropical Traditions All purpose cleaner instead of Windex and I use coconut oil, cacao butter, shea, or olive oil instead of all the toxic moisturizers I use to use.
I’d like to try the organic facial system, the cleanser, toner and moisturizer!
I’ve been a user of natural products for a very long time and I’m so grateful I have ’cause it has really proven effective and so much better than the alternative! So bring it on, Miessence!

Sweet! I would love to try some natural make-up!
I have very pale lips and have been thinking I should try to find something less toxic . . . so I would love to try the Lip Creme in Grape.
I’ve slowly been changing a number of things as others have mentioned above. For example, much use of baking soda and vinegar for house and some personal cleaning, tooth powder, crystal deodorant, Seventh Generation dish soap, etc.
I would try the concealer. I would also try the deodorant, tooth paste, lotion, and hair care products. We are slowly detoxing our home and beauty and health products are the last thing we need help with. Our food and cleaning products are pretty clean but our bathroom is scary!!! So many chemicals lurking in there.
One cleaning replacement has been our steam mop. We have lots of tile and pets and I was always using chemicals to clean the floor. The steam mop is great because it destroys the nasties with heat and NO chemicals!
I would love to try the shampoos! The hair detox info on the site is very interesting.
I would love some lip creme and some bug spray! Thanks for the contest!
I would want to try the translucent foundation or the lip cremes. I’ve been wearing less and less makeup these days, so I’d love to come back with something au natural! Love it!
I would get the Mascara – Pure Black.
I’ve eliminated shampoo and use soap nuts to wash my hair. There’s a video on YouTube about how to make the solution foamy for easier application.

Ooo the hair care and baby products look heavenly.
I started mixing half vinegar, half water together for an all-purpose cleaning spray. It’s great for surfaces, as well as dissolving hard water stains. It smells like nothing when it’s dry – something clean should smell like. Especially in a home with sensitive skin and sensitive noses.
