Summer Make-Up that Won't Harm Your Skin

Go Green!

Joyce Hewitt
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, so it is important to pay attention to what we are putting onto our skin. Whatever we put onto our skin will be absorbed by our bodies, so we should choose cosmetics that have natural ingredients. Chances are right now you have several products in your make-up bag that contain harmful chemicals. Many of the ingredients that are in cosmetics are not monitored, and can potentially be harmful to your skin. Phthalates: diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) are just a few of the chemicals that can harm your skin.

Most make-up has a pretty long shelf life, so its worth spending a little more on natural and organic products that you know are going to be healthy for your skin.

Here are just a few brands that specialize in Organic, and natural make-up that will give you a gorgeous summer glow!

Burts Bees
