That’s right – this one’s gonna be ALL about CLEAN skincare.
In 2018, I ditched all my skincare and started switching to clean brands & products. It is NOT NECESSARY to use toxic chemicals on your face!
Finding skincare without parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, fragrance, propolene glycol, petroleum distillates, BHA, retinyl palmate, formaldehyde (also commonly hidden in that lovely “fragrance”), toluene, dibutyl phthalate, aminophenol, diaminobenzene, phenylenediamine, or synthetic colors has been SO IMPORTANT to me.
PLEASE read your labels. Most of that stuff will leave long-lasting harm on your body, your skin, and your precious endocrine system. The number one ingredient I stay away from is fragrance/parfum.
After becoming a mom, I have become a skincare junkie because I absolutely love having 5 minutes in the day where I take care of myself, for myself.
