The quality of the skin care and beauty products we put on our body is just as important as what we put in our body.

Have you ever considered that the ingredients in your skin care and beauty products could be causing more harm than good?

Becoming the healthiest version of yourself isn’t just about your eating style, exercise routine, sleep hygiene, or stress management.  It’s not just about building lean muscle and burning fat efficiently.  Balanced hormones is the foundation of optimal health.

Maintaining a healthy balance of hormones can improve menstrual cycle symptoms, increase fertility, and minimize menopausal symptoms.  Women should experience hormonal cycles such as menstruation and menopause with minimal discomfort.  It’s a journey that should be welcomed rather than dreaded.

The personal care products that we use to wash our hair, clean our bodies, and hydrate our skin get absorbed into our bloodstream.  When there are ingredients in these products that are harmful they can cause hormone imbalances which in turn causes all sorts of issues in our bodies.

Thankfully there are companies such as Beautycounter that offer safer and cleaner beauty products that are high performing and beautifully packaged with materials that are better for the environment.

Environmental Working Group

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is an organization that does extensive research on chemicals, ingredients, and toxins that are found in products and items we use in our everyday life. They have a rigorous certification program in which companies can have their products tested for toxic and harmful ingredients. You can learn more about this detailed process here.
