Hello, Beautycounter

Hello friends! It has been about 9 months since I first launched this blog. Maybe there’s some symbolism in that timeframe… perhaps I “announced” my blog then, but I am just now “birthing” it today. I hope that’s the case, because it would make me feel a little better about leaving you hanging for so long!  

I am a huge perfectionist and do not like sharing anything that is not “perfect” (at least in my eyes). It has pained me not to share pieces of my journey with you, even if only for my own healing. But, I am feeling a little “inspired” lately and ready to talk (..or at least I think so!). So I have decided I just have to take a deep breath and press “publish” from here on out.

I have had no idea where to start but figured something a little more lighthearted would be the safe way. It is also something that has been a speckle of joy to me, especially in recent days during social distancing/quarantine: Beautycounter.

Hello, self care!

I became a Beautycounter consultant about the same time I started this blog. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen (or will see) a few of my stories regarding Beautycounter. My business has been primarily word of mouth. I originally joined to get a discount for my own products, but I have stayed because of how awesome the products (and the community) are!

If you are unfamiliar with the brand, Beautycounter is a clean beauty movement to get safer beauty into the hands of everyone. Before I learned of this brand, I had assumed we lived in a country that regulates everything… but that is not the case! There are over 80,000 chemicals on the market today and many have no safety data.  Did you know that the United States only partially bans 30?!  The last time the United States passed a federal law regulating the cosmetics industry was in 1938. This means that it is left mostly up to the companies to decide what to put in our products. Did you know “fragrance” is often a term used to hide a lot of different things too?! Beautycounter has a strict ingredient selection process and prohibits the use of more than 1,800 questionable or harmful ingredients in their products. (You can view The Never List here.)

I personally love discovering new products, especially beauty products. I love to watch all of the tutorials and try out everything I can get my hands on. I especially love it if one of my girlfriends finds something that works… I immediately want to get my hands on it too.  I would love to be this same resource for you! I am not here to tell you that you must only use Beautycounter. But I am here to help educate and spread the #betterbeauty movement: to get safer products into the hands of everyone. If only just helping you slowly choose cleaner products for your body. Beautycounter makes that job a lot easier!

There is little I can control, but with the things that I can, I want to make sure I am choosing the best. I have tried to make better choices for what I put in and on my body. I just didn’t know what I didn’t know.

Now that I know better, I can do better!

I was actually first drawn to Beautycounter for their makeup and fell in love. I then tried their body wash and soon became a sucker for their skincare ...especially when they had a safer (and effective!) alternative for retinol!

Some of my favorite Beautycounter products are (although it’s really hard to narrow down!):

• Overnight Resurfacing Peel - My absolute favorite product! If you only purchase one item, make it this! Apply in the evenings after your have cleansed your face. Let it dry for 3-5 minutes before finishing your nightly routine with moisturizer.

  **This is the free gift for joining as a Band of Beauty member this month!

• All Bright C Serum - This was just released yesterday and is the perfect daytime complement to the Overnight Resurfacing Peel! A good Vitamin C Serum is a must in any anti-aging or age prevention regimen!  I have been using this for about a week now and already can’t live without it!

• Brightening Facial Oil (or any of the oils for that matter!) - I love to alternate the peel with the brightening oil every other night. If you would like a sampler of all 3 of our facial oils, you can find them here.

• Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion - This lightweight moisturizer adapts to your skins needs throughout the day. This is my go-to moisturizer.

• Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm - This multi-use item does an excellent job removing stubborn makeup! It is also nice to leave on as an overnight mask when you are feeling extra dry.

If you think now is the time to try Beautycounter, I’d be happy to be your consultant! I’d also be happy to send you samples in the mail if you would like to try-before-you-buy!
