clean beauty







It's no secret that clean beauty is now a thing.  It's so much more than just a simple trend, however.  With so much attention and emphasis being placed upon wellness and optimal health, it's not surprising to see skincare and beauty brand falling into line.  Personally, I can tell you I'm loving it.  

The more I shop for skincare, the more options there seems to be for tightening, toning, clarifying and adding overall radiance to our skin.  And while I find this to be fantastic, I know a lot of us can also feel overwhelmed by soooo many terrific options.  That's why I wanted to take a moment to share my latest clean beauty faves that so many of you have requested. 

If we look at skincare simply, there are some basic goals we all need to achieve.  These would be to cleanse, tone, balance, exfoliate, protect and hydrate.  I know, it sounds like a lot, but trust me, it really is easy to pair down and the results are beyond worth it!

My favorite way to cleanse is with a splash of micellar water to start.  It breaks down my makeup and  protects the fragile pH level of our skin.  Next I remove the day with a creamy cleansing balm or a dollop of coconut oil (which is very inexpensive and what I find works best!).  If your oil-proned you can substitute with a deeper cleansing cream. I love this one.

Toners are so nice after a wash and have really improved the overall functioning of my skin.  While I know the name sounds harsh but a great toner will effortlessly rebalance your skin's pH to banish dryness and keep oiliness in check. An extra step I like to throw in is to pat in an essence.  This one leaves my skin super soft and hydrated and ready to accept whatever I put on next.  

A great moisturizer is a must and those that multitask are even better.  This Biossance version contains both squalene and probiotic which means your skin recieves ultra nourishment and the optimal form of hydration.  If a face oil is more your thing this one is my all time favorite!

Hair gets in on the clean beauty game too with an amazing number of options for treating your tresses gently from wash to style.  I've been using a co-wash in place of traditional shampoo for a while now and have never been happier.  Unlike shampoo, these gentler methods remove product and impurities without striping your hair of its natural, necessary oils.  

If you're interested in trying out some of these beautiful products, I've linked them in the thumbnails below for you.  And, if you have any clean beauty favorites that you are obsessed with I'd love to know!  Thanks for stopping by beautiful friends...Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday beauties!  If one thing is for certain it's that I am a true blue beauty lover.  From serums to spa days, I am forever in search of what's new, what's next and (most importantly) what really works.  Currently my fascination is with K beauty and clean beauty brands.  Their good for you ingredients paired with powerhouse performance keeps me coming back for more.  What's even better is how they are making a name for themselves in the world of beauty insiders.  In fact, Sephora has begun to dedicate an entire facet of their inventory to what they call Clean At Sephora.  These are  brands specifically created and designed to help you avoid undesirable ingredients (think parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, formaldehydes and synthetic fragrances) that detract from rather than add to your gorgeous glow.  Some of my latest favorites that I've been incorporating into my routine recently include face oil, eye gels and mineral sunscreen.  This powder formula is pure genius.  Since they say  the power of your SPF won't last the day, you can still beat the ray's damage by reapplying in the form of face powder during the day.  Pretty and well-protected.  If you're at all like me, you're going to want to get your hands on some of these goodies asap.  You can shop your faves in the thumbnails below!

Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
