How to green your beauty routine?
Simplify
our recommendation is to keep it simple; all you need is a basic cleanser,
toner, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen to keep your skin in tip-top
shape. Everything else is just dressing.
Make
sure “Natural" is really natural
Toxic synthetic chemicals are the biggest issue in the beauty industry today,
so it pays to hone a keen eye when it comes to examining product labels.
Say
no to fragrance
the loophole in federal law doesn't require companies to declare any of the
dozens of toxic chemicals that a single product's fragrance mixture could
contain. Artificial fragrances, which frequently contain phthalates, can
also trigger allergic reactions and other health problems.
Choose
nontoxic, Recyclable packaging
you can never go wrong with glass because it's recyclable and has no danger of
leaching toxins into the product contained within. Avoid containers that
bear recycling code #3 and the letter "V", which refers to polyvinyl
chloride, or PVC. Dubbed the poison plastic," PVC poses great
environmental and health hazards from manufacture to disposal.
