It's Makeup Monday! 🤩
Some of us wear makeup for many hours at a time, almost daily, and it really does matter what we put on our skin, especially for that long!
If you haven't already started to make conscious switches to more natural makeup products, here are a couple of reasons to make the swap! ✨
1. Artificial fragrances 🌹
Artificial fragrances are added to makeup to heighten the appeal, but can cause headaches and even nausea to those easily affected by strong smells, and can trigger allergic reactions. Besides, who needs artificial scents when natural products have yummy-smelling scents from essential oils, herbs, or even fruits!
2. Cruelty-Free 🐣
Most natural products (or at least the ones you should be using) are cruelty-free. Many high end makeup brands are making the switch to cruelty-free, however they may still contain artificial and potentially harmful ingredients that are not sourced ethically in their products. (Cruelty-free makeup means that none of the products were tested on animals, and you'd be surprised that animal testing even still occurs!)
3. Sustainability 🌎
Many natural makeup products are not only made sustainably, but packaged sustainably. Without wasteful packaging, natural makeup companies are already lessening the impact that their production makes. When products are inefficiently manufactured, irresponsible use of chemicals (some toxic) can affect the surrounding environment negatively as well.
So, do your research and read up on ALL of the benefits of switching to more natural products! Natural products can be healing, nourishing, and sustainably made. The planet and your body will thank you! 💛🌿
