I am a firm believer in radical, soulful self care. I don't know about you, but for me and quite a few of my gal pals, we're becoming alarmed at how we will emerge after this quarantine. I have mixed feelings. I'm good with my nails and toes, as I prepared prior to the "shut-in." However, I miss my facials and I'm sure I'm going to have a unibrow very soon unless a YouTube tutorial saves me from myself. I've taken an even closer look at my at home beauty routine.


From bath time to mask time, the concept of clean beauty is no longer a trend. The clean revolution has come full circle in the past few years, exploding with products that are both effective and safe to use, free of many toxins that affect our health.


Over the past couple of years, I've become acutely aware of the things that I put both in my body, and on my body. I've always been a beauty junkie, especially if you promise me a dream in a cream! So, my quest continues to discover the best, clean products. From great drug store finds to cult favorites, here are some considerations...

So many options to choose from and well worth the investment of time. Most of us simply get into a habit of using the same old products that can have visible results for our skin, but adverse effects to our body. While the Stay At Home Order is still in place for most of us, discovering clean beauty options can benefit us as we continue to move through this time.


Real beauty is an inside job. After all, Clean Beauty is the New Black.


To Living an Extraordinary Life with Extraordinary Style....


Yours In Style,
