The green movement is in full effect and your skincare is not excluded.  Stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are not only providing organic foods that nourish our bodies, but also offer a variety of natural beauty care products to nurture our face as well.

There are a growing number of cosmetics companies these days that pride themselves in using only all natural ingredients, which makes it easy to switch your medicine cabinet from quantity to quality.  Your skin will thank you!

Your makeup only looks as good as your skin underneath.  The Vitamin C Face Serum, Perfection C by Vivid MD Skin Care is paraben free and can be either used alone or in conjunction with your everyday moisturizer.  The MD in Vivid MD stands for medical dermatological which means they only use medical grade ingredients that are strong and pure.

Natural organic soap by Carley's Clear and Smooth Skin is life changing.  The virtually unscented soap comes in bar form and can be used on both the body and the face, regardless of skin type.  Also, continue the path to clear and healthy skin with the Top Secret mask made locally in Los Angeles by Seraph Cosmetics.  I call this no guilt skincare.  Now only if I could find chocolate cake in that variety!

Two mineral makeup lines top the charts because of their large selection, quality, and affordability - Cruterre Minerals and Herbs of Grace.  These companies are passionate about providing a product that not only looks and feels good, but one that is also environmentally friendly.  The vegan kabuki brush by Herbs of Grace is incredibly soft and works fabulously for powder foundation, blush and bronzer while Cruterre Minerals ‘Gems' line of mineral eyeshadows are full of color, sparkle and are long wearing with healing properties.

Going green never looked so fabulous!
