Beauty from the Outside-In

As my awareness of toxicity levels in cosmetics has grown, I have made it a mission to find products that not only make you beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well.

You may think, well it's just makeup, is it really getting into my system? The answer is yes. Lipsticks/ glosses don't just disappear into thin air in between touch ups, and same goes for foundations, powders, etc. It is absorbed into your skin which can lead to ingredients getting into the bloodstream.

When scanning the back of your products keep an eye out for any 'parabens' and talc. Both have been linked to various cancers. For instance, cosmetic grade talc has been scientifically linked to ovarian cancer for many years now.

So what can you do to start living cleaner and greener? Keep an eye out for the many natural products that are now on the market. They are all over the beauty industry now, and are looking better than ever. My first concern with going natural was whether they could create the same quality final product as the many other goodies in my makeup kit. I can honestly say that I have found a line that truly does stand up to the level of quality that I am used to. That line is Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics. http://janeiredale.com/

I am now carrying the full line in my studio in South Beach, and it makes me feel so good to be able to share this beauty secret with my clients. From the varieties of coverage in the foundations and concealers, to the gorgeous pigments of the eyeshadows and blushes, this line really brings it. All while cramming in 'good for you' ingredients such as pomegranite , green tea, and algae extracts.
