Nowadays people are becoming conscious of not only what they put IN their bodies, but what they put ON them.
Reports of various carcinogens being put into commercial makeup and hygiene products is scaring folks and leading them to look for alternatives that are better for us and for the environment.
derma e is one of the companies that offer healthier alternatives. Here is some info on derma e:
derma e® now offers over 80 unique face care, body care and treatment items enriched with healthy vitamins and antioxidants to address various skin types and concerns. Each item is still hand-formulated by Dr. Linda herself and is produced in David Stearn’s family-owned, small-batch manufacturing facility in Southern California, USA. Yep, you could say that we're pretty down to earth.
And their Purifying Youth Serum:
I was a bit concerned about the mask as I have very dry skin and I thought it might just dry out my skin more, but, in fact, it didn't at all. I haven't done a 'mud' mask in a million years, so it brought back memories, ha! The kids were hysterical seeing me walk around for the 5 minutes while it dried with a blue face. Yes, it actually dries to a beautiful robin's egg blue! I traded in my usual nighttime facial moisturizer for the Youth Serum, again, wondering if my skin would feel parched. Nope! Skin felt smooth and adequately hydrated. Even better though, is my sensitive skin didn't react to them. Its always a crap-shoot for me since my skin will often react to new products, even if they are unscented and hypoallergenic. I can assure you I will be using these products throughout the sweaty summer, especially since my skin seems particularly prone to breakouts over the past few years.
The products are, of course, more costly than a lot of the generic drug-store stuff, but obviously safer, more ethical and better quality. You can find them in stores across the U.S. and Canada, and purchase them online.
Disclosure: I was sent some complimentary products from derma e, but all the opinions on this blog are my own.
