EARTH DAY BEAUTY TIPS! “CLEAN” OUT YOUR  BEAUTY ROUTINE TO UP LEVEL

YOUR COMPLEXION & YOUR ENVIRONMENT

The theme, this year for Earth Day is ‘Protect Our Species.’ So I decided to take this literally, and research 7 eco-friendly brands protecting us – the human species. These brand’s whole motivation is to help you look great while simultaneously reducing your impact on the environment.

ONE READER ASKED ME: 

So Stacy, what’s the first step people should take to green their beauty routines at home?

MY ANSWER: Finding products that are packaged and bottled in recycled materials is an easy first step. The symbol is usually right on the box because companies want to make choosing their product over others a no brainer.

7 EASY WAYS TO GREEN YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE

MORE ABOUT WHAT IT DOES:

Clean it Zero 3-In-1 Cleansing Balm is a workhorse that streamlines your beauty regimen! It’s a Makeup Remover, Cleanser and Skin Hydrator. People claim it’s the holy grail of makeup removers because it takes off your makeup in less than one minute. A tub is sold every 3 seconds around the globe! Moms love this because it doesnt tear or tug at skin like wipes do, and it actually replenishes skin while it removes grime off your complexion. It’s great for all skin types and just won shape magazine editor recognition.  Additionally, it’s good to know? It comes in 4 versions – Original, Nourishing (Dry Skin), Revitalizing (Antioxidant Protection), Purifying (Balancing/Soothing). As an esthetician, I love it because it gently gets the job done without stripping your face of natural moisturizers you need.

2. THE DEODORANT THAT TAKES CHARGE! 

WHAT:  type:A Deodorant 

PRICE: $10 Single, $14 Duo, $27 Trio

SAVE:  15% Off Your 1st Order

CODE: SMARTER15

SHOP: typeadeodorant.com

MORE ABOUT WHAT IT DOES:

type:A deodorant features a patent-pending sweat-activated, aluminum-free formula.  What makes it different from it’s competition is each and every time you sweat, the formula activates to absorb wetness and release a complex of odor fighters with active ingredients including baking soda, zeolite, invisible tapioca and silver. Type:A’s secret to it’s success is a formula that’s free from traditional preservatives, and still passes the industry-standard preservative efficacy test. The odor protective complex is released little by little, each time you sweat, mimicking a time-release effect, allowing a lower concentration of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Not to mention that the dry, lightweight cream glides on smooth and sheer, won’t stain clothing, and doesn’t irritate skin, unlike most other baking soda-based formulas.

SHE’S A FAN The brand just got a totally organic shout out on Instagram from Sports Illustrated Model and TV personality, Ashley Graham!
