How to Switch to Clean Skincare

Alright ladies, let’s discuss!! Thoughts on making the switch to clean skincare? When I started to get sick last year I had multiple doctors tell me to look harder at what I was putting on my skin. After further research – I learned some facts that horrified me! I’ve done all the heaving lifting and research so we can all have a smarter get-ready & unready skincare routine!

Everything I put on my skin was entering my bloodstream. This included a ton of chemicals that are known to increase estrogen levels. Think bloating, weight gain, mood issues & if you’re like me – increased endometriosis pain! Hard pass. I really wanted to make any lifestyle changes possible to improve my overall health and quickly learned that my get-ready and unready routines needed a massive overhaul!

I did SO much research.

Realizing my lifestyle & beauty routine was affecting my health more than I wanted to admit was tough but necessary!

I went on a mission to test out all the “clean” products out there and see if they were effective. I’m happy to report I found a brand I trust. 100% Pure is a leader in the clean skincare space and love the changes my skin has made from it!

100% Pure has an incredible skincare line and I recommend starting with the Clean Resolutions Intro Kit. It’s been SUCH an easy way for me to get started with clean skincare. I take their products everywhere with me, especially to yoga classes & Orangetheory Fitness workouts.

I know it can be challenging to wrap your mind around a new routine, so here are 3 tips + tricks on how to go cleaner with your skincare in 2020:

Three Tips to Switch to a Clean Skincare Routine:

1) DECLUTTER.

Let’s go through everything on the vanity & toss out anything that’s expired & hasn’t been used in over a month. Tough love here! You’ve got this!

2) SIMPLIFY.

It’s fun to have a 10-step routine, but not always necessary.

Start with a cleanser, toner & moisturizer.

3) EDUCATE.

Start reading those labels and getting familiar with the ingredients. If you need clarification on what’s “clean” visit the 100% Pure or Leaping Bunny website!

My Results After 2 Weeks:

Hydration:

My skin has a new level of hydration & I couldn’t be happier! I didn’t realize how much my previous products were stripping my skin of moisture. I’ve also noticed that my fine lines are so much less noticeable and my face looks overall plumper.

Elasticity:

I think the combination of clean skincare products and using gua sha/jade rolling tools has dramatically lifted my skin. My eyes and brows look “lifted” and my cheekbones are more pronounced.
