Things that make you go YIKES!
What’s in your facial cleansing cloths? Press play and learn about some of the ingredients in personal care products that can irritate your skin or may even cause cancer! What we put on our bodies is important, and I run down what to look for and what to avoid in this video.
Of course, it’s easy to get derailed when you start looking up ingredients on cosmetics and personal care products. Why are we putting ANY of these chemicals on our skin?! Where’s my bubble?! For those of us that don’t want to live in a bubble, it’s all about making informed decisions and weighing risks versus benefits. There are plenty of low risk options with great benefits. I share some of them here!

* Note: Be sure to check the “last updated” dates when looking up products on the EWG database. If the manufacturer has reformulated a product, it might not yet be updated on the EWG site. For example, some of Urban Decay’s Primer Potions used to contain parabens (as listed in EWG) but have been reformulated in the past 2 years and no longer contain parabens.
