Cleaning Up

When it comes to beauty products, I almost always prefer to use anything that has natural ingredients as opposed to something loaded with chemicals. I've been wanting to get rid of any products that have bad ingredients and slowly transition into using products that are actually good for you. I might make that my challenge for this year as I know it might take me some time to replace all of my current products with natural, clean products that work for me. In the meantime, I thought I share with you some of my favorite natural products that I currently use and that are staples in my collection.

 

1. I love this foundation! I have been using it for years and years (ever since I started wearing makeup). I have sensitive skin and was looking for a foundation that will not break me out. This is how I came across the Bare Minerals line and I have been a loyal customer ever since.

2. I featured these blushes in my Blushing post and I am still a very big fan of them. I love the staying power and the fact that Amazonian clay is a balancing ingredient, perfect for my combination skin.

3. Josie Maran Argan Oil product has become a must in my nighttime routine, I don't know how I lived without this. Josie Maran's Argan Oil is 100% argan oil (all natural) and it is truly a wonder product. My skin was always oily, but this product has helped to control the oil and it has made my skin smooth and moisturized.

4. Nourishing coconut cream lip balm by Alba has been my favorite lip balm for years. I have tried many different ones, but I always go back to this one. It keeps my lips moisturized and soft all day with vegetarian ingredients, btw I always get the coconut cream version.

5. In looking for a good scrub, I came across this one from Lush. Ocean Salt is the best scrub I have ever tried! This scrub makes my skin brighter, glowing, and softer. I like to use it before I am going under the sun to get a more even tan and also have gotten my boyfriend into using it to prevent ingrown hairs.
