It's the same with prescription drugs: for every one there's an herb or something natural that does the same thing (or better) for your body. I use Dermalogica for my face and I'm not really one to use much makeup, but I agree with the other Amanda: Bare Minerals is awesome :)<br /><br />As for the tan I'm extremely fair and I've just learned to live with the fact that during the winter I fade and in the summer I get natural sun in healthy amounts with lots of sun screen. I think being overly tanned when we're young is so overrated. When I'm 50 I'm going to be happy I kept my skin healthy instead of burnt.<br /><br />I really like this subject, by the way. Everyone has an opinion on this one and people should be more aware of what they're putting on and in their bodies.

I don't wear makeup. I don't use hair spray/gel/mousse. I don't use antiperspirant, I use a deoderant Crystal. I don't use shampoo and conditioner, I use baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I only use non-toxic vegetable soaps.<br /><br />My theory is this; Everything you put on your body gets absorbed into it, so why put anything on your body you wouldn't feel safe ingesting? <br /><br />I don't do these things so I can wear the title of "hippy", I do them because I think they are better for my body. And I'd rather live a long time and be considered a "hippy" than have my life or that of my children shortened by applying chemicals to my body.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416265133804487369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21734840.post-35504966596533716462010-03-05T12:15:42.642-05:002010-03-05T12:15:42.642-05:00I don't have a solution to your tanning proble...I don't have a solution to your tanning problem (yet). But as for makeup, sounds like it's time for you to turn to Bare Minerals - check out their ratings on there! <br /><br />http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/wordsearch_free.php?hq=bare+minerals&go=go<br /><br />Andddd, then cross your fingers they come out with an equally as non-hazardous nailpolish and tanning line.
