I have always loved the excitement and fun that surrounds St. Patrick’s Day. The parades, the bagpipes and the green beer put me in a good mood almost instantaneously. However, there is only thing about St. Patty’s that makes me cringe a little: the way I looked donned in spartan green from head to toe. It’s not a pretty.
I’ve decided not to embarrass myself again this year (sorry green sweat suit, it’s been fun) and instead dedicate my daily beauty routine to my favorite “green” and all natural products from Abe’s Market.
1. Coffee:
I can't start my day without a cup of joe Larry's! Fair trade, organic coffee that taste delicious and most importantly gets my brain functioning.
2. Smile:
Did you know that our teeth represent the first signs of aging? If that’s not a reason to keep them sparkly and pearly white I don’t know what is but I can certainly think of a reason why Tooth Whitening scares me: Non-food grade Peroxide and harsh chemicals. That’s why I love Lumio Tooth Whitener and Brightner; it’s a natural alternative to teeth whitening. Your teeth will be noticeably whiter within a week without the harsh, nasty chemicals that other whitner’s contain.
3. Wash:
I’m among those unlucky few who still break out years after puberty.
It’s something I have never “grown out of” and according to many
dermatologist’s, I’ll never get rid of it unless I take antibiotics for
the rest of my life – thanks but no thanks. Instead I have opted to control my skin with nutritional soaps and cleansers like Complexion Zen Clarifying Soap by Bunny Butt Apothecary that feeds my skin instead of stripping it. The great thing about this
bar is that it has super cleansing power since it has been activated
with all natural willow charcoal. Charcoal has been used since ancient
times to cure and heal a variety of skin and health ailments.
4. Moisturizer:
It’s so important to remember to moisturize every single day even if
your skin doesn’t show signs of dryness. If you think of your skin like
a flower you can imagine what happens to the pedals if they aren’t
given water (moisture) everyday. At first, you wont see any signs but
very quickly you sill see the pedals wilt, dry-up and die. It’s much
easier to keep our skin moist than it is to dry and repair the damage
later. This is why I love Hydroprotective Day Cream by BioSelect. Feels radiant, soothing and refreshing without looking oily. Also, it’s certified Organic and Vegan.
5. Apply, naturally:
Professional makeup artists use the right tools and brushes to give you
the flawless look you love. Only problem is some of the commercially
made brushes are made of plastic, which is awful for our entire
eco-system. That’s why I love the Orglamix Vegan Bamboo 8-piece Makeup Brush set.
These brushes are just as beautiful as they are functional; each
sustainable bamboo handled brush is handcrafted from top-quality
synthetic fibers. This set of 8 essential makeup brushes is
specifically designed for use with mineral makeup.
6. Radiate:
After applying my powder I always finish with a beautiful blush. I love the way the sheer, luminous blush powders by Orglamix look
on my skin. The soft-focused color enhances all skin tones by creating
that perfect “glow” we are all soughing after. I also love not having
to worry about what my skin is absorbing while wearing Orglamix.
What Orglamix is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petro-Chemicals
- Phthalates
As you can see being "green" faced beauty is gorgeous for all skin tones. Be happy, beautiful and green today!
Happy St. Patrick's day!
with style,
Lisa
