What does it mean to be green all over? You can be green from head to toe, all it takes is a little knowledge and consistent effort. Think about everything you put on your body. Be aware that your skin “drinks in” what ever it is exposed to. Consider the effects of skin care products, make-up and soaps on your overall health. My rule has always been, if I can’t safely ingest it, I don’t put it on my skin.

Looking your best should not require vast amounts of money and countless products. “High maintenance” isn’t the green way to be! And if you are on a budget, being green will be more affordable for your lifestyle.
To start, here are some questions to think about when evaluating your personal care product arsenal:
health and beauty
* What chemicals are contained in this product?
* Is this product oil /petroleum based?
* Does this product work the way its advertising claims?
* Can I ingest this product safely (not suggesting you try)? If not, should I be putting it on my skin?
* Is this product tested on animals, or worse, did an animal have to die to create it (consider fish oil products)?

Know exactly what you are spending your hard earned cash on!
We have been sold on the idea that beauty can be bought in the newest bottle of wrinkle cream or cellulite remedy. Advertisers have sunk huge budgets into convincing us that we need these products. It is their business. It’s about money.
I have decided that I am just fine exactly how I am. Sure, I want to look great – but beauty is not in a bottle. I hope you will join me in accepting yourself in all your natural beauty and not fall for any more advertisers gimmicks that are aimed at your wallet, damage the environment and are actually bad for your health.

I am not saying that you have to go au naturale all the time! There are so many wonderful natural and organic options that do not test on animals and are careful to use recyclable packaging. Check them out and I’m Beauty
