BEAUTY BY EARTH
You guys know that I love to share what I love, and beauty products are some of my absolute favourite thing to share, well because being a girl is so much fun! Who doesn’t wish they could buy every single palette in Sephora and Ulta, am I right? Don’t even get me started on make-up, I could spend thousands of dollars each year in Sephora, I certainly don’t - no need to worry.
That being said it is sometimes hard and quite frankly, just annoying finding beauty products that work! Beauty products are expensive, so who truthfully wants to waste money on products that you’ll try once or twice and just throw away? I am about quality when it comes to health, and well, if you don’t already know, our skin is our largest organ. Anything that gets put onto our skin, well it goes into our bloodstreams, well I am not about to put harmful things on my skin. Not going to lie, I haven’t switched over to everything safe yet, but I am slowly swapping things out for safer and effective products. It has to start somewhere, so I wasn’t going to let myself feel overwhelmed.
First thing I wanted to do, find a safe self tanner. I used to tan religiously outside by the Minnesota Lakes during my summers in high school. A tan makes anyone feel more confident in their own skin. Years of tanning out by the lakes, pools, and tanning beds, yuck I can hardly say tanning bed without cringing. I am a girl full of freckles and moles and blonde hair, I am pretty much the number one target for skin cancer, I decided a tan wasn’t worth that health risk. Hopefully it’s not too late, but what I can do now is make a change and wear sunscreen every day and use safe self-tanners for that golden glow that every women desires. This Beauty by Earth product is composed of all safe ingredients, which is so hard to come by when you actually take the time to look at the ingredients! One of the other positive things, it doesn’t have a strong scent. Some tanning lotions have a certain smell to them, you all know what I am talking about!
With the lotion, a little goes a long ways, so the big bottle of self tanner will last you awhile! I only really put it on if I have an event coming up or if I am just feeling like a bit of a glow in these long gray winter months! So if you are ready to swap out your harmful beauty products to safer options, let this be one of your first swaps! Keep your skin healthy and glowing without all of the sun damage, don’t get me wrong, Vitamin D is needed, but just spend 20 minutes out in the sun while reading your book, etc. You’ll get that dosage of Vitamin D, but your skin will thank you when you are 60 and when you look younger than 60 instead of being all wrinkled and leathery. It’ll be worth it in the end!
Happy glowing,
xoxo Mara
