You Literally EAT What You Put On Your Skin

I had a phone consultation with a client Tuesday morning and she wanted to know what natural skin and body care products would be good to use. I encounter many people who eat organic and clean foods but neglect using natural products on their skin!!   Here are a few of my top picks: (when I don't have time make my own)


Skin Care Line- Andalou Naturals (I just started using the new 1000 roses line 4 days ago and already can see the difference in my skin!) 


Facial Serum- Herbal Face Food

Nail Polish- Mineral Fusion

Makeup- Zuzu, Hemp Organics Lipstick, Lotus Mascara 

Facial Scrub- Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub 


Makeup Remover-Coconut oil! 

Hair Care Products- Andalou Naturals 

Body Wash-Andalou Naturals Mandarin Vanilla Shower Gel


Deodorant-Crystal 




Lotion-Andalou Naturals Kukui Cocoa Body Butter 

Sunscreen- Badger (lavender) 


Toothpaste- Eco-Dent ExtraBrite Tooth Powder 

Perfume- any essential oil!

ISOCETYL STEARATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, STEARIC ACID....What is lurking in your body care products?

One place where toxins and chemicals linger is in our body care products: makeup, shampoos, hair sprays, lotions, toothpastes, deodorants, shave cream, hair gels, perfume, nail polish, makeup removers, sunscreens, and more!

Women can often be more toxic than men because of how much we slather on ourselves on a daily basis! You should be able to literally EAT what you put on your skin! Our skin is our largest organ and will absorb what we put on it.




Check out this database by the Environmental Working Group called Skin Deep. You can even download an app on your smart phone! You can search the products you are using and it will give the products a rating from 0-10 on how safe they are to use and why. A rating with 0 is the best and 10 is the worst.

Organic Skin Care Gifts Under $20

Skin is the largest organ on the human body. It acts as a shield to the elements, helps with detoxification, protects our tissue and other organs, and even reflects our inner health by showing stress, tension, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies.  Since it is so important we need to protect it and not slather it with toxins and chemicals day in and day out!

Think about how many toxins you are putting on your skin every day if you use commercialized products: toothpaste, deoderant, shampoo, conditioner, face cream, makeup, lotion, perfume, fingernail polish, shave gel, body wash, hair styling products, and the list could go on and on!!!

Here are some great organic gift ideas under $20 from a local company called Organic Aah that I highly recommend. Give the gift of health this holiday season! Your loved ones will thank you!
