What is Clean Beauty? Really!

It’s so confusing to most women and men too! Was it “dirty beauty before” one of my clients asked me..

Well here’s my answer in a nut shell …

No skin care and makeup were not DIRTY the industry just advanced and technology changed through the years. The ingredients are getting safer and better.

Clean beauty is skincare and makeup free of harmful chemicals.

But know this… it is made with natural components but also use synthetic ingredients that have been declared safe.

When it comes to makeup I don’t think you need a lot of products to feel clean and pretty. We all want to be attractive but it doesn’t have to take so much!

Here are just some of the ingredients in skin, makeup and nail polish to avoid. Google them to learn more.

Aluminum. Parabens, oxy benzophemone, one, Formaldehyde, phthalates, carmine,benzophenone, cylic silicones, triclosan, toluene and more.

But don’t drive yourself crazy reading labels and and taking a deep dive!!!

If you know you’re allergic to some ingredients. Just avoid them completely.

But Don’t forget even people who use clean beauty products can have issues with those ingredients as well.

I’m really trying to enjoy being more green, clean and eco friendly…with my food and lifestyle.

And in my skincare too!

Skin is so in…Especially when it is healthy looking. If your skin is not looking the way you would like it to… Perhaps its time to try something fresh and new! Looking good takes a little effort girls and so worth it. If you do not have a skin care regime now is the time to start. Also if you have been wearing sweat pants and not taking care of your skin think about taking time for YOU and get your skin in shape too.

They say “You are what you eat” and it is so true. Eating right … with a little bit of a naughty is really best. All in balance and moderation darlings! I’ve been on a kick of making SMOOTHIE BOWLS and making them is so much fun too. Your whole family will enjoy.

I love to get glowing, use beauty from my kitchen, a local farmer’s market, and make a few D.I.Y. beauty recipes and beauty potions on my own.

I will share some of the them on my new podcast to come too! But here are a few for you to enjoy this Memorial day too.

Take care of your skin and your skin will always take care of you!

Recipe for pretty skin starts from within. Not only are these good to eat they are good to use as skincare. Especially when many of us are on stay at home orders.

Yogurt (plain Greek yogurt) makes a GREAT cheap and chic face mask. Apply to a clan face and leave on at least 15 minutes. Genty exfoliates dead skin cells too.

Avocados are a great for hydrating your face and neck. Add honey to a mashed avocado and leave on at least 15 minutes. Your skin will LOVE it.

Bananas work wonders on dry elbows and knees. If your bananas are beyond ripe and you don’t feel like making banana bread…give your skin a moisturizing natural treat.

In addition, when the weather is hot and you want to chill down and make your skin feel amazing. Take a plain ice cube and rub gently on your skin. Not your eye area but try on the face. It will tighten your pores and make your makeup glide on beautifully. I also like to use an ice cube on my chest and neck. So cool and refreshing.

Have a BEAUTY filled deligthful day!
