As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that almost everything seems to irritate me, whether it’s rashes or asthma—especially asthma. Fragrances are a big trigger for me. I can’t wear perfume without getting asthma, and even walking past the perfume section at the chemist brings on asthma and headaches. If someone wearing perfume gets in my car, it’s asthma again. Even the creams I use on my skin—BAM, asthma. It’s frustrating, to say the least!

A few months ago, a friend asked if I’d be interested in trying a clean beauty product that was about to launch in Australia. I thought, “Why not?!” We were lucky enough to be part of the pre-launch, which offered the products at a 40% discount, so I went ahead and bought the whole range. These products promised a non-toxic, anti-aging solution to my skincare routine, and I was all in.

After just a week of using them, my mother commented on how great my skin was looking. She even noticed that the lines on my face had softened. Now, my mother is notoriously critical, so if she noticed, it must be true! I got her some products too, and after a few days, she saw a visible reduction in the puffiness around her eyes. Her words were, “It’s great to finally find something that works!” My mother isn’t one for worrying about toxic-free living; if a product works, she’ll use it. So, it’s an added bonus that she can now use clean beauty products!

I also managed to get a few other products that aren’t available in Australia yet, and honestly, I’m impressed. Their cleaners work exceptionally well, which was a pleasant surprise given that they’re non-toxic. Normally, I’m a bit skeptical about non-toxic cleaners—aside from the Young Living Thieves range I usually use—but these products polished surfaces that haven’t shined in ages! They also offer a meal replacement shake, which I didn’t love (I’m not a fan of vanilla, but I’ll try adding fruit next time). I haven’t tested out their health teas yet either—I’m a big coffee drinker, and herbal teas just don’t quite do it for me!

Shaklee Australia, I’m so happy we crossed paths. It’s such a relief to finally find products that don’t trigger my asthma! Their packaging is beautiful, the products truly work, and they stand by a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE—even if you’ve used the entire product! You can’t beat that. Let me know if you’d like more info!
