Greening Your Beauty
Posted 2/8/2010 7:00:00 AM
Have you thought of what goes into your beauty products? Did you know that on a daily basis the average woman uses a dozen products containing around 160 chemicals, wow that is a lot!

I tend to wear some form of makeup and use beauty products everyday. I have never really considered what goes into making these products or what is in the products themselves. I know there are little steps I can take to make my beauty routine more “green.”

You can find out what chemicals might be used in your soap, lotions, mascara, etc… from this database created by environmental working groups Skin Deep. It is best to begin with the products that you use most and try to find less toxic alternatives to them.

Another good step to take is to actually read the label on the back of the product. A really easy suggestion is to just use less of a product. Read more.

Does anyone have any of their own tips to greening their beauty routine?
