There’s no doubt about it – winter weather can be brutal on our skin! Luckily, this week I met with one of my favorite people, celebrity makeup artist and green lifestyle coach, Katey Denno. Katey promised some naturally wondrous remedies for all of our winter skin woes and has been on the forefront of the clean, green beauty movement for years, helping clients and thousands of followers on her blog eliminate as much toxic exposure as possible from their lives.
Today, she shares her top 10 natural and non-toxic beauty tips for keeping skin healthy, hydrated and glowing all winter long.
1. Try Petroleum Free Balms
The skin on your lips is the only skin on your body that’s not self-hydrating. Protect that delicate skin by using petroleum-free lip balms as often as you feel you need it. I go petroleum-free because I’d rather use natural ingredients like beeswax or organic coconut oil on my lips instead of an oil-byproduct. Oil drilling causes harm to our planets precious ecosystems in numerous ways.
Two of my favorite petroleum-free brands for lip product are RMS Beauty and Burts Bees. Use RMS’ coconut-based balms, or boldly hued pots of lip color with nourishing, organic ingredients for perfectly protected lips! And remember, contrary to popular opinion, you can’t become addicted to lip balm, so it’s simply the feeling of slick, buttery and nourished skin that you become addicted to!
