Go for the glow, not for the coal- latest beauty finds!

Clean beauty summer glow chemical peels natural beauty

My mother instilled taking care of my skin since I was a teenager. She would ceremoniously apply creams and potions and I loved watching her and was inspired by her to take care of myself and constantly SEEK. Seek the best, seek the newest, seek the best price. LOL. Now that we have more information about what’s in our products and we as women continue to forge ahead and ask more questions, I feel a strong urge to share with my friends and family and of course, YOU!

My latest beauty find is BeautyCounter’s Overnight Resurfacing Peel, which I almost didn’t get! I was at my dermatologist and they tried to talk me into a chemical peel…they explained it would burn, I would look “like my face was falling off” for 5 days and oh, I couldn’t sweat for 4, all for $150! I remembered that BeautyCounter had just launched theirs for a fraction of the price & it didn’t have formaldehyde-based preservatives, therefore skipping all the bad side effects! I have been using it nightly for 2 weeks and am in love with the glow and smoothness.

I want to share this peel so much that the first 3 people to order the Resurfacing Peel will get a free Volumizing mascara!!🖤

Why is that? Well, mascara can be really harmful and most women use it. Many of the mascaras on the counter today contain coal, petroleum-based preservatives, parabens & phthalates, all these chemicals can trigger a plethora of conditions including cancers and hormone disruptors.

Here is an excerpt from Bustle:

“According to Dr. Krukowski, “There are many dangerous chemicals found in mascara,” and most common offenders are parabens, phthalatespetroleum products, and dioxane. These chemicals function as everything from anti fungals and preservatives to the base that makes mascara what it is — But they also have legit toxic fallout. For example, Dr. Krukowski told me that Phthalates are “cancer causing agents that damage the kidneys, liver, lungs and reproductive system,” and Petroleum products “have been shown to cause anemia as well as damage to the kidneys and nervous system.”
