Why I’m Choosing Clean Beauty + How to Get Started

In my research, I have found there can be a direct correlation between how our body functions and the products we use on our skin. Since the beauty industry is essentially unregulated, brands can produce products that are filled with toxic ingredients, carcinogens, and endocrine disruptors. I am often tired and experience elevated stress levels, and in addition, I have a hormone imbalance. By eliminating toxic products—and switching over to Beautycounter —I hope to improve my overall health. Hooray for clean beauty!
