Total Beauty Solution- 5 Tips for self-care
1. Cut down on the number of products you use each day. Sometimes, cutting down on your body burden is simple as simplifying your beauty routine a few days a week. Less is more!
2. Choose one day a week to wear zero (or very little! ) makeup. You are stunning. Period.
3. Do your research and swap out one product per month. You don’t need to throw everything away and buy a completely new shower, makeup and skincare line this week. Choose an item that’s almost gone and look for a better alternative. Natural beauty blogs often have great advice (hello, Google). Check out the Skin Deep database and read reviews online. If women use 12 products per day on average, you could have a whole new healthy personal care regimen by this summer/fall.
4. Learn the basics and become a label detective. Don’t worry about memorizing every chemical. EWG has created this handy list of the top ingredients to avoid for women, men and kids. Print it out and keep it with you. (This is also great for those of you who don’t have a smartphone. But if you do have one, don’t miss EWG’s Skin Deep app.
5. Choose safe sunscreen this Spring. We’re all going to be buying sunscreen and heading outside this season (right? ), so why not choose wisely? Check out my sunscreen blog from last year for tons of tips! Also, Annmarie Gianni just released her own line of sunscreens.
