Did you know that by dotting plants around your home you can improve your air quality? It’s not just outdoors that you have to think about pollutants. They are present in the chemicals we use for cleaning and the materials in carpets and furniture. By using plants we can improve air quality. Not only that, many houseplants have low pollen counts which are ideal for allergy sufferers.

Here are five plants that will add beauty to your home and help to keep the air fresh and remove toxins.

Spider Plant

If you’re a bit forgetful about watering plants, a spider plant will suit you. Although it does like to be watered once a week, it can put up with irregular watering now and again. As well as looking good, the spider plant removes carbon dioxide and nitrates from the air.

Snake Plant

The snake plant, which is originally from West Africa, is also known as mother-in-law’s tongue. If you don’t have a lot of space and you want a plant that grows upwards rather than spreading, then this is the plant for you. It absorbs toxins and releases moisture and oxygen into the air.

Peace Lily

The beautiful peace lily absorbs toxins from the air through its leaves. Leave some of the topsoil exposed when the plant is in the pot because this helps it to work more efficiently. It doesn’t like to be in direct sunlight so it’s perfect for shady corners.

Ferns

Ferns are great if you’ve got plenty of room to let them spread. They help to improve the room’s humidity as well as creating a healthier atmosphere. The Fern was one of the top choices when NASA did a series of studies inside the Skylab space station to see which plants performed best at reducing toxins.

Rubber Plants

Rubber plants are easy to care for and they don’t need a lot of natural light. They can grow to be large plants so they may need some room to grow. They are particularly good at eliminating household toxins because they have large leaves. If you can, put your rubber plant outside once in a while. They thrive indoors, but they like a bit of fresh air too.

Hayami Cosmetics

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
