Why switch to clean beauty products and a few things I've found that are tough about making the change...
Your skin is your largest organ and many beauty products can disrupt your hormones (bad for fertility!), have headache inducing fragrances, and contain carcinogenic ingredients. Not good! That's why I'm currently working on making the switch when I can as I finish up current products.
Clean beauty products are hard to choose and purchase because most of the highest rated brands on EWG's Skin Deep Database and Think Dirty app aren't carried in stores for you to swatch and test beforehand. Plus, they can be a bit more expensive and it would be a bummer to try one and not like it when it's not a cheap drugstore product. I'm hoping that's where I can help you out, I plan to share all of the green beauty products that I try and love and those that don't work for me. I'm always honest in my reviews and that won't change!
The other, less important, problem I have with making the switch to clean beauty products is I am a sucker for pretty packaging and so many non-toxic beauty products just don't have packaging that makes me swoon. I think some package themselves in a more natural looking design to show off the fact that they are a clean beauty product and stay on brand? I'm not quite sure. But, if the product is that amazing it won't bother me too much, but I'll be honest when I say a pretty package will win me over in the beginning.
I hope this post and the video were helpful for you and please let me know if there's a company you'd like to see me try or any products you recommend in the comments!
