Is exfoliating your skin part of your daily routine?  For many people the answer is, no.  We are so busy in our lives that just having a good cleansing and moisturizing routine can be difficult, but then add in exfoliating… pshh, who has time for that?  Well, I am here to educate you on the importance of exfoliating your skin.  Yes, cleansing and moisturizing your skin definitely should not be skipped, but adding exfoliating to your weekly skincare regimen can make a HUGE difference! 

How to Fix Your Skin Barrier?

When it comes to having the best radiant skin, knowledge about your skin is key. The more you know about how your skin is built, the better you can be at caring for it. If you are feeling like you have lackluster skin, knowing how to work with your skin cell barrier is key to help your face glow year round and also keep it healthy, too. In this one, we’re diving deep into how to care for your skin barrier.

Best Skin Care For Cold Weather

The winter weather can be absolutely awful for your skin. The dry weather is really something, with the extra dry heat pumping in your home and office, and then that cold wind against your skin anytime you’re outside - yikes! If you are older, this really makes it difficult to keep the moisture alive in the dead of winter! It’s truly the perfect environment for a skin disaster.

I can’t tell you just how concerned I am day after day, the news reporting cancer causing carcinogens in products, almost on the daily. This is what they catch! Imagine what else is on the market that we don’t know about. I want to use products on my skin that are good for my health.

Why is it important to use clean skincare?

The FDA allows chemicals known to cause cancer including parabens, phalates, formaldehyde, lead and more to be used in products we use on ourselves and our families each day. The very product that is intended to “clean” or “beautify” can make you toxic and actually harm your health.

BRIGHTEN SKIN WITH VITAMIN C

Looking to give your skin a healthy glow? Vitamin C may be the answer! This powerful nutrient has many benefits for the skin, including reducing wrinkles and age spots, and helping brighten skin tone.

This was a citrus BOOST I never knew I needed, until I saw and experience the results myself!

Beautycounter's Overnight Resurfacing Peel Review + My Results I never really knew just how magical the Overnight Resurfacing Peel was until I tried it. I have always been afraid to try any skincare, especially ones that say “resurfacing” to it because prior to trying Beautycounter I could not use anything on my skin without a reaction or break out in general.

A few years ago, I had my eyebrows microbladed. While I loved the look, after time they did fade some, which then lead me to another touch up, but what I found with the mircoblading is, my hair on top of the semi-permanent tattoo was still light. This is where the Brilliant Brow Gel came in so handy to help fix the lightness of my hair on top of the mircobladed brows.

I’m going to be honest, prior to Beautycounter I hardly ever wore SPF daily! Gasp, I know! When, I found Dew Skin I was seriously impressed! I know you may be thinking, can it really be that good?! The answer is YES! Dewy, glowing skin combined with SPF and light coverage. Is there anything better? Finally, I had an answer to help protect the side of my face where I get sun spots from driving around town and the UV rays hitting my skin!

Think of it this way, you can help your eyelashes grow naturally full and beautifully, creating long lashes safely. Eyelash Boost Serum is formulated with clean ingredients that are gentle and nice to your skin. Remember, I mentioned how sensitive my eyes and skin are?! You can help your lashes improve length, density, and strength of hair as well as overall follicle health due to the proprietary blend of amino acids and peptides. I’ve found that the appearance of my lashes, (you can also use on your eyebrows, but I have not to date) has improved in the appearance and also a longer life span and tenure in hair follicles.

I’m a busy girl. I work a lot, I work out a lot, I drive my kids all over the creation, walk to get my daily steps in daily… so basically I do a lot of things! Not only that, but I find when I get really busy, the first thing to be affected is my sleep… which we all know leaves us with dark circles and no one wants these!

I’ve always wondered what the true meaning is when someone says, “You look tired.” Ha! This past winter I was super busy, my tan had faded from summer, and I was working a lot with disruptive sleep and the circles under my eyes were massively visible.

In this blog post, we'll look at what Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen actually does for your skin, hair, and how it creates head-to-toe anti-aging results from the science side of things. I’ll also break down all the ingredients, so you’ll know exactly what you’re taking. Get ready to learn everything you need to know about Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen, including all the benefits of consuming collagen into your diet daily!

One week ago, at just about this exact moment, I arrived home after an incredible 4 days in Washington, DC on Beautycounter's Advocacy Trip.

It's been nearly impossible to find some 'quiet' time to process through the magnitude of this trip - a truly life changing experience that I will never forget, and am beyond grateful for.

Hi friends! I hope your day is going great! I just finished my workout, I’m just out of the shower and getting ready, and I thought it would be a great day to review Beautycounter’s Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation that I’m really LOVING lately, and this is coming from a person who is super picky about foundation. Furthermore, I’m not a fan of cake-y foundation and I also want to make sure my skin can breathe, so this definitely fit the bill for me! It blends into skin more easily than any foundation I ever tried, and I’ve tried a lot of foundations in my time. Plus, it lasts ALL DAY, even without a setting powder. Yes, please!

It's a topic I don't like to think about, but is so important (and we really can't ignore)... the impact exposure to chemicals can have on our health.

I believe with all my heart, though, that the foundation for good skin health, starts from within. Nothing you use topically (face wash, moisturizer, or makeup) matters if your insides aren’t well. I’ve worked years on healing gut post treatments with SIBO, which continues to be a top priority with keeping my health in alignment.

I’m going to be honest, prior to Beautycounter I hardly ever wore lipstick and/or lip gloss. I honestly couldn’t find anything that didn’t taste like chemicals on my lips, and/or a lipstick that didn’t leave my lips even more dry than they were. Not only that, but I had NO idea just how much I was missing prior to trying my favorite Beyond Gloss and Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick. Then, I started wondering why I waited so long!

Every single one of our beauty products should be like that. We shouldn’t have to scan them to make sure they don’t have ingredients directly linked to cancers, endocrine disruption and hormones. We shouldn’t have to worry about heavy metals in our makeup or if a company is using child labor for the sparkly stuff in our eye shadow. Furthermore, we also shouldn’t have to wonder if our makeup and the stuff we use on our entire body and on our family’s bodies every day is toxic.

I’m going to be honest, prior to Beautycounter launching their new vitamin C Serum, I hadn’t really ever tried one. I had NO idea just how magical it could be! Then, I started wondering why I waited so long! I’ve recently added the All Bright Serum to my routine, and it’s been a game changer to say the least! Today, on the blog, I’m sharing why I love it and some before and after photos.

Why You Might Need an Armpit Detox Help your body adjust to the change by using the Charcoal Cleansing Bar to wash your armpits daily. I still do this to help pull impurities out, plus I use this on the face, especially in the summer when I’m sweating and using a lot more sunscreen. You do this, so the charcoal can pull the impurities out before the sweat does!

I’m super excited to be sharing on the blog about Beautycounter’s Think Big Mascara!

We had two other versions of the mascara, prior to the Think Big Mascara launching and to be honest, I never spoke about it, especially here on the blog, because frankly I didn’t love it, and it just missed the mark for me.

Meet Beautycounter Think Big Mascara: Forget everything you know about clean mascara. We’re about to change the game in the blink of an eye. If your goal is to have dramatic lift, length, and mega volume (without clumping and flaking) then Think Big All-In-One Mascara is your chance! It’s boosted with lash-care conditioners for longer, fuller, stronger-looking lashes.
