Why Clean Beauty is So Essential & How to Navigate with Abby Jean and Rachel Pachivas

Summary: I love the idea of starting of the New Year with healthy, nourishing routines. Over the past few years, I’ve done that with my skincare routine and I find it to be a great form of self care. When you think of self care, you don’t think of smearing petroleum, endocrine disruptors or other toxic chemicals on your face, right? In the process of researching the products I use, I’ve learned that there is basically no federal regulation on our personal care products (or on most industrial chemicals in the U.S.) That was my inspiration behind this episode and I’m so excited to share it with you. This week on the podcast I speak to two women from AnnMarie Skincare and they answer all of my questions (and more) including: ·     Do products made with botanicals really work as well as our familiar “tried and true” formulations? ·     How to start purging your skincare products ·     Red flag ingredients too look for ·     Nutrient-rich ingredients to look for ·     How you know you’re getting a truly organic product (since there are FDA loopholes) ·     Web sites and certifications to help you navigate which products are safe, healthy, and don’t test on animals ·     Where are we with trying to improve FDA regulations?
