& I hope by the end of this, so will you!
Yup, I did something I never thought I would do & threw (almost) all of it away! This was for VERY good reason! Let's chat about it..
I've always known to stay far from certain harmful ingredients so I thought I was making pretty good decisions about what products I purchased & used. BUT THEN.. I watched the documentary Toxic Beauty & learned SO much more! I highly suggest the documentary to anyone that uses products on their body - aka EVERYONE! It's very entertaining, shocking, sad, empowering & informational! A MUST WATCH for anyone of all ages!
I rented it on YouTube here.
TOXINS & CHEMICALS EVERYWHERE
It's scary. I can't understand why some companies are using potentially harmful chemicals & toxins in our cosmetics, skincare, body care, hair care, hygiene products & household cleaners! This is also the same for some food & beverage companies. These scary ingredients can potentially cause very scary & serious health concerns from depression to miscarriages to cancer. It's very scary - we MUST check ingredient labels & be cautious what products we are putting in our bodies, on our bodies & around our bodies. This is also for the benefit of our fertility, babies, families, pets, air quality in our homes & the environment.
I'll link a handful of articles I read when doing my research below. I also use two very useful apps on my phone - Think Dirty, Shop Clean & the EWG. Another app that I just recently learned about & downloaded is Detox Me. These help better understand ingredients & will give you a quick answer on if a products is "clean".
CLEAN BEAUTY
I love that there are SO MANY clean beauty brands! Most are in stores like Target, Ulta & Amazon! They are AMAZING, quality products that are actually healthy & good for you! I'm working on a part 2 blog & video which will be all about clean beauty products I'm loving & recommend! Stay tuned for that in the next week or two! In the meantime, do your research, go through all your current products, ditch the bad ones, make a list of what you need to replace & plan to buy clean beauty & clean products! STAY TUNED FOR PART 2!
xoxo, Bria
