When I became a mama, everything changed. Who I was physically, mentally and emotionally. The constant rollercoaster of emotions in a sea of exhaustion caught up with me and I wanted to do everything in my power to change my situation. I decided to get educated about my hormones and everything that can affect them. I remember watching a documentary called Stink that highlighted the negative affects of chemicals in our skin care products, so I poured out my make-up bag and read every skin care label in my house and learned the ugly truth about how unregulated these products are. Most, if not all of my make up ranked high in known carcinogenic causing chemicals and contained toxins that have been linked to infertility and hormone disruption. I want to share some numbers with you
"There are other clean companies out there, why partner with BeautyCounter?" This is exactly what I asked when I began making clean swaps. Here is what I learned about how BeautyCounter defines clean beauty.
"How do I get started?" I started by replacing little by little and through trial and error I found my 5 favorite products. Oh, and if you're unhappy with anything, BeautyCounter will allow you return anything within 60 days. No questions asked. 1. The Tint Skin Moisturizing Foundation - Lightweight, creamy foundation that goes on so smooth, covers effortlessly and evens out skin tone while maintaining your natural look. 2. Lengthening Mascara - I was skeptic at first, but I SOLD, this is by far my favorite mascara. Definitely harder to find a clean, effective mascara but here it is. I use two coats and I seriously feel like I have that dramatic touch without looking fake. It has nourishing botanical ingredients such as bateau oil and carnauba wax that help condition the lashes and I can honestly say mine appear healthier. 3. Sheer Lipstick - I have never been a lipstick gal because I didn't like the feel of it. When I partnered with BeautyCounter, I received a lipstick for free and now I wear it everyday. It feels incredibly soft, more like a chapstick because of its ultra moisturizing formula. It also includes jojoba esters and carnauba wax to condition and hydrate lips and no synthetic fragrance. 4. Overnight Resurfacing Peel - I know we've all heard of peels, but unlike most this one is formulated without synthetic fragrances, PEG's (class of carcinogenic compounds)and formaldehyde-based preservatives. It is made up of 15 botanically-derived acids, that improves skin texture and minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines, and dark spots without irritation or over-drying. Glycolic, lactic and malic acids clear away dull surface skin cells, while hyaluronic acid and essential fatty acids nourish for a brighter looking complexion. 5. Charcoal Cleansing Bar - When I notice my hormonal blemishes appear, I use this deep-cleansing bar, but it can also be used daily and is ideal for oily or acne prone skin. It's a detoxifying cleansing bar that absorbs impurities in your skin without drying it out, resulting in a clearer, brighter-looking complexion. It can be used daily for face and body!
