04 Alex from NINI Organics - Skincare is an INSULT

In this week's episode Rachael meets Alex the co-founder of NINI Organics. NINI Organics was created by Alex and his Sister Nicole and was designed with one mission in mind, to create the ultimate superfood for your skin, made with 100% Natural and Organic ingredients. 

Alex talks about his experience with severe acne from the age of 16 and how that affected his self esteem to why we should choose organic skincare and green beauty.  Alex explains how the name NINI came about and introduces his INSULT acronym which will help you when you are looking to buy new skin care products and teaches us why we should stop insulting ourselves with toxic skin care. We discuss why it takes time to heal and how short term and quick fixes aren’t all they cracked to be.

ABOUT THE SHOW

TIWIK is a love letter to my younger self. A conversation about all the things we were told not to talk about. A sharing of knowledge, emotions and laughs. A potential handbook (or the audio equivalent) on how to master your mental health and fall back in love with yourself! Nothing is off limits. We talk about everything from dating, suicide and mental health through to make up, skin care, magic and spirituality. All the things I wish I'd known before my mental breakdown and spiritual awakening.
