GREEN BEAUTY QUEEN
 Greening-up
your beauty routine has never been easier with these
five easy tips:
- Keep it Clean
Look for a USDA organic label on beauty
products, especially things that go on or near
you lips and eyes. If a product is “organic” it
is free from unhealthy chemicals which can
seriously damage your skin in the long run.
Remember: healthy skin is happy skin.
- Keep it Familiar
When you examine the ingredient lists for
products like eyeshadow, foundation, etc., look
for items you can pronounce easily and that you
recognize. Chances are the super-long,
super-complicated words are unnatural chemicals
that can be bad for you.
- Keep it Close
Local boutiques often carry beauty products
specific to your area. Check them out to see if
you can snag any special deals and steals. Best
of all, you’re promoting local shopping, which
means little to no wasted transportation costs
and/or pollution. Now that’s what I call
“eco-chic”!
- Keep it Friendly
Check to make sure your make-up hasn’t been
tested on animals and doesn’t carry any animal
ingredients. Buying products that are
cruelty-free and animal-free is one way to be
certain that your make-up is both earth-friendly
and creature-friendly, too.
- Try DIY
Sometimes the best way to be a green
beauty-queen is to look to Mother Nature
herself. For example, pumpkin is great for your
skin and rubbing a little bit of apple cider
vinegar on your lips can make them softer and
healthier. Do a little research on creating your
own all-natural beauty regime—you’ll find it’s
easier than you expect, and a lot of fun, too!
