Love Your Skin
We're all a little health conscious these days. Workout? Check. Eat right? Check. Sleep 8 hours? Maybe. And what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them. Organic beauty products are a hot commodity right now and help keep our hair and skin healthy without the use of those additives that we can't even pronounce. Here are some of the best products on the market:
Black Velvet Face Wash ($19.95) -The first ingredient in this product is Unconditional Love & Gratitude, which should make you feel good even before you use it. But it's the whole-leaf organic aloe vera, jojoba, avocado and almond oils that will make your face feel like, well, velvet. It'll also dissolve most makeup and minimize small pores.
Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer SPF 25($32) - This moisturizer is perfect for those with oily or acne prone skin. It's easily absorbed and contains lemon to detoxify the skin and minimize the production of oil all while drying up the acne you may already have. The sunblock is derived from natural minerals so it won't irritate even the most sensitive skin.
Lush Shower Gels ($8.50 - $24.95) - Lush is known for its funky, organic products with fun names like Sex Bomb and I Love Juicy. Many of their items are even vegan for those who are so inclined. And these shower gels will help start your day off right. The Flying Fox scent seems to be the most popular with a honey and jasmine fragrance that stays with you all day.
John Masters Organics Lavender Rosemary Shampoo ($16) - Inside this 8oz. bottle you'll find pure coconut soap with herbal infusions of periwinkle, sage leaves and chamomile flowers. It contains no sodium lauryl sulfate or synthetic artificial color so your hair has nothing to stop it from drinking in the goodness. It'll also help your hair resist the stress of pollution, coloring and styling.
Korres Almond Proteins Leave-On Conditioner ($18.50) - Almonds are great at promoting healthy skin and hair and this conditioner helps give you the soft and manageable hair that everybody strives for. It contains a special wheat protein complex with a styling agent that protects hair and improves its manageability. It will also help protect hair from harmful UV rays, and makes for a great de-tangler as well.
Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers ($4) -
What's an organics list without Burt's Bees? They boast that they have the best lip balm, and it's even 95.29% natural. Now they've added a little color to create these great Lip Shimmers. They come in 11 tasty shades and are made from natural ingredients including vitamin E, coconut and sunflower oils.
Juice Beauty Lip Plumper ($14) - If your lips are a little on the thin side then this product might be for you. It moisturizes while it refines and will help fill in those lines around the lips. The amino acids inside do the plumping and the essential fatty acids will make your lips soft and supple. You'll wish you could kiss yourself after using this one.
