Keep Yourself Clean with Vegan Hair and Skin Care Products

In honor of Vegetarian Awareness Month , here's a selection of vegetarian hair and skin care products that leave you looking fabulous while using cruelty-free products.

Start off by sampling some of Lush's products made by hand using little or no preservative packaging and made from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Their animal-friendly products are 100% vegetarian and 81% vegan. Here's a few of their all vegan options.

For a really deep detox that will invigorate your face and body, check out Lush's Ocean Salt Facial and Body Scrub (4.2 oz or 8.8 oz) . This cream based scrub uses both coarse and fresh sea salts to exfoliate and invigorate your skin. Fresh avocado and coconut hydrate dry skin and the violet leave absolute nurtures and calms, while fresh grapefruit infusion has a stimulating, tonic action on the skin. Also, this scrub contains fresh lime crushed in vodka that washes away excess oils, thus helping to clear up blemishes, blackheads and blocked pores.

Then clean and moisturize your hair with Lush's Rehab Shampoo (3.3 oz, 8.4 oz, 16.9 oz) . This product contains fresh organic pineapple and kiwi juices that break down dirt while Enzymic papaya cleanses your hair. A blend of jojoba, almond and olive oils to help restore flexibility and strength to abused hair that needs some relaxation and rest. After shampooing your hair, apply their Veganese Conditioner (3.3 oz /8.4 oz /16.9 oz) . This light conditioner contains agar seaweed gel to soften the hair in lieu of the more traditional Lanolin derived from sheep's wool. Infusing lavender flowers renders a soothing liquid for scalp care while the hair shines courtesy of fresh organic lemon juice.

If you want a deep conditioner to help with hair that's been color-treated and severely damaged, check out Lavera's Mango Hair Treatment Sachets . This vegan product helps protect hair from free-radical damage that can cause your color to face thanks to their organic tea and mango fruit extracts. Organic Shea and cocoa butter seals in moisture while avocado, soybean and jojoba support and protect your hair. Also, cotton flower extracts helps to soothe stressed hair and help it to shine. Use this deep conditioning prduct once or twice a week. This product is sold in packets of five with each sachet containing enough product for 1 to 3 uses depending on how much hair needs to be treated.
