Become a natural beauty
Written by Amelia Mularz
Go au naturale this Earth Day. No, don’t ditch your skivvies — just some of those chemicals you slather onto your body daily. Try out cosmetics made from natural ingredients, and we bet you’ll be a convert. There are tons of good products out there that are also good for the environment. Here are some of our favorites:
Free Love: Physicians Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer, $10, Target.com
The best way to look natural? Use makeup that’s natural, of course! This organic moisturizer will even out your complexion, but it’s light enough so it won't feel caked on. The only thing better than chemical-free? Free of cost! Look for packages in stores that include a complimentary mascara with purchase, available through the end of the month. And when you buy any Organic Wear product from now through the end of April, a portion of the proceeds goes to the environmental non-profit Global Green USA.
Seeing Green: Organic Apoteke Rejuvenating Eye Cream, $27, OrganicApoteke.com
Developed by a doctor after years of research, this cream tackles under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles. You’ll see a visible difference, but it’s the all-organic ingredient list that is truly visionary.
Turn Over a New Leaf: Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Gogi Berry Mask, $40, PangeaOrganics.com
Revitalize skin for spring with an all-natural mask. In celebration of Earth Day, Pangea Organics is offering 20% off all online orders through the end of the month — now that’s refreshing!
Stop and Smell the Roses: The Body Shop Roseflower Lips, $11, TheBodyShop-USA.com
This lip color, made from organic beeswax and marula oil from Namibia, naturally repairs and moisturizes winter-worn lips. And the subtle rose scent will remind you all day just how sweet spring is.
Eat It Up (Almost!): Juice Beauty Green Apple Mousse Body Cleanser, $22, JuiceBeauty.com
Over at Juice Beauty headquarters, every day is Earth Day. That’s because all their products are made from a natural juice base, meaning each face wash, hand soap, and body cleanser is up to 95% certified organic. After lathering up with delicious green apple scented wash every morning, you’ll be craving the edible version — make sure your fridge is stocked as well as your shower.
Happy Earth Day!
