How to...Use Organic Beauty Products!

"I really want to use more organic and natural beauty products, but don’t know where to start. Can you give me some advice?"
 
We looove products that come straight from Mama Earth, especially after we started reading the labels of not-so-natural soaps ‘n’ shampoos (triethanola-whaa?). Here’s our guide to some of nature’s best bath and body goodies. No worries, glam girlies, we’ll be comin’ atcha with plenty of organic makeup soon!
How sweet! This bee-autiful lotion is free parabens and sulfates (a.k.a., icky chemicals). It’s perf for transitioning skin from winter to spring. You'll smell delicious, too.

No need to buy a loofah to accompany this awesome soap ball. It’s wrapped in wool for a natural scrubbing effect—instant exfoliation. The best part? It’s recyclable. When the soap runs out you can slip a new bar right back in.

Dabbing essential oil behind your ear and on your wrists serves double duty as a perfume and a de-stressing tool. If you feel like need a little help in the energy department, then opt for scents with ginger or mint. If ya wanna chill out, pick lavender or chamomile.

A scrub made with real fruit is about as fresh as it comes. This one’s made with blueberry’s and organic fruit oils. Or you can make your own by mixing sugar, honey and chopped up strawberries. Just don’t eat it!
