What goes on your skin, goes into your body.

What goes on your skin, goes into your body.

 

If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably know that my mom had breast cancer. It was after she was diagnosed that she insisted I stop using my antiperspirant. I was hesitant, but I listened because I didn't want to get breast cancer, either. When I got married years later, I discovered that I had fertility problems and many doctors told me I would never have a baby. I sought the help of a NaPro technology doctor, who put me on a strict diet + bio-identical hormones and told me to stop using many of the skincare and beauty products in my medicine cabinet. I was confused-- the diet and the hormones made sense, but not latter.

She told me that what goes on your skin, goes into your body. 

I began to research the ingredients in my products and what I found was not good. Why are such harmful ingredients allowed to be used in things we put on our face and body? I ditched my products and started shopping for everything at Whole Foods. Yes, many of these items had cleaner ingredients but unfortunately they didn't work very well. I bounced around from brand to brand trying to find the best and when those didn't work, I went online without much more success.

Many years into my search (and 3 miracle babies later), I discovered Beautycounter. Clean products that actually do what they're supposed to do = win/win for me. 

Today, I challenge you to research the ingredients in your beauty products. You can use the Environmental Working Group database to search product names and/or specific ingredients. If you're looking to switch some of your products, I suggest taking the skincare quiz on this page or send me a message and we'll chat! BONUS: During the entire month of October, shipping at Beautycounter is free and new customers get 20% off.
