BEAUTYCOUNTER: Safer Skincare and Makeup
I'm sure everyone's heard the saying, "you are what you eat," but I'm going to take it a little further and add that "you are what your skin eats" too. Over the past few years, I've become very aware of all of the many toxic ingredients that are being put in our personal care products. For myself, it's not good enough anymore to just focus on eating gluten-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, organic, non-gmo food.
I've always tried to focus on the things that are in my control as far as my health is concerned. Now, I'm focusing on being aware of my skincare, makeup, and personal care products. Did you know that the United States has not passed a major federal law to regulate the safety of ingredients used in personal care products since 1938. What the heck?
I'm so excited to share with you a line of safer beauty products, called Beautycounter, that I've been using for the past 4 months. Beautycounter has banned over 1500 ingredients. Here's a list of ingredients Beauty Counter will never use, Never List. All of their products are rated 0-2 by the Environmental Working Group’s SkinDeep product database.
Random fun fact about me: about 10 years ago I was a Sales Director for a large beauty and cosmetic company. I loved being able to share my favorite products and educate girls and women on how to use them and take care of their skin. Back then I didn't know that a lot of ingredients in personal care products can be hormone disrupting and contribute to hormonal imbalances. I was only concerned with how well my products worked for me and how they made me look. Reflecting back on it now, that's pretty vain. Fast forward to today, knowing that I have an autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalances, and a sluggish liver that already has a hard time detoxing on it's own. I'm doing everything in my power to put only the best quality ingredients in and on my body.
Here are the products that I've tried so far and love and I'll share how you can get these products for yourself!
