From Skin Care to Hair Care, much of the Beauty Industry has quickly adopted an organic approach. The standard: Products must be fresh, safe, and natural.
The key to a gorgeous face? Pounds of make-up? No. Start with fabulous skin care products to smooth out your facial palette before you apply your make-up.
With green markets taking root from New York to L.A. and eco-friendly hatchbacks outnumbering the limo of choice, organic is "it"—and beauty is along for the ride. Kick-starting the trend is Juice Beauty, the San Francisco-based skincare company with a certified-organic pedigree: Each product in the line has a raw ingredient base of 70 percent or higher. Packed with skin-friendly ingredients, like fresh -squeezed, organic juice concentrate, Juice Beauty's line of paraben, fragrance, and petroleum free formulations is gentle enough to treat sensitive, acne, and rosacea-prone skin types. So even if you're not quite ready to bust out your Birkenstocks or switch to a macrobiotic diet, you can at least start your skin on a health-kick.
Green Apple Nutrient Mask, $35
Reveal your glowing skin with this wonderfully fruity facial mask. It's packed with a brightening complex of certified organic apple and lemon juices, skin tightening peptides, alpha lipoic acid, and vitamin antioxidants. The smooth, even, non-irritated skin it unearths is gorgeous and glowing—just like your prom picture.
Green Apple Moisturizer SF 15, $38
Treat your skin to supreme hydration plus full spectrum sun protection—sans chemicals—with this mega moisturizer. The brightening hydroxy-acid complex of certified organic apple and lemon juices, age defying peptides, and antioxidants works its magic to deliver soft, healthy skin, just like Mother Nature intended.
An apple a day keeps the crows feet away with this powerful complex of age-defying DMAE, antioxidants, alpha lipoic acid, and co-enzyme Q10. Dab it beneath eyes before bed to banish fine lines and firm skin while you sleep.
