Skin is the largest organ of the human body. While the nutrients we ingest through our proper diets help skin heal and stay healthy, there are other nutrients that enhance our skin's best on the outside.
Why organic?
Organic products boost hydration and contain nutrient-rich vitamins and antioxidants to nourish the skin.
Organic products offer users less allergic reactions, inflammations, and irritations.
Organic skin care products are gentler on the skin, causing less dryness and breakouts. Dry skin can crack, which, in some cases, can let bacteria and viruses enter the body, causing infections.
Organic product manufacturers ethically source and responsibly harvest ingredients and packaging for your benefit. This also means that products are not tested on animals. Some test subjects are their very own friends and family members!
Buying local, made in the USA, products also continues manufacturers' intention of reducing carbon footprint.
Finding products that are made in the USA and rate low on the hazard range score on the Environmental Working Group's website posed a slight challenge, but here are 5 made in the USA skincare products for glowing skin.
1. THAYERS With Hazel Facial Toner
Toner plays such a vital role in healthy skin care. While removing excess oil and dirt, it leaves skin with a cool feeling, and refreshes skin between cleansing and moisturizing. This also helps with the skin's pH balance.
Thayers' witch hazel is actually locally grown in Connecticut. Their formula is vegan and made with no parabens or phthalates.
2. ACURE Under Eye Hydrogels
Skin is taken care of from the inside out. Even with the best of intentions, we have days where sleep just escapes us, stress takes a life of its own or we just need a night of a good cry. Under-eye masks help to hide those behind-the-scenes moments of imperfect living.
ACURE Organics under-eye hydrogel masks are free from parabens, phthalates and sulfates, among others. As their packaging states: 100% vegan, 0% questionable, AND made in the USA.
3. Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Face Sunscreen
If you leave the house in nothing else, remember your sunscreen. Rated a 1 on the Environmental Working Group's hazard score range, Alba Botanica's Sheer Mineral Face Sunscreen is meant to go on light with the heavy-duty sun protection your face needs.
Sunscreen prevents sunburn and protects against ultraviolet rays, which contribute to skin cancer and premature aging. Pop the 2 fl. oz. bottle in your daily bag and reapply throughout your day.
4. Concha Nacar Day Cream
Day creams work to hydrate the skin for a brighter looking complexion. By providing hydration, they make your skin feel softer and smoother, with an added benefit of being protected from the sun's rays. Depending on your skin type, day creams also prevent skin from drying out and cracking.
Concha Nacar's primary ingredient is oyster shell, which contains a number of B-vitamins that nourish skin. It glides on the skin smoothly to add a layer of protection prior to applying makeup.
5. NATIVE Brightening Facial Serum
NATIVE Brightening Facial Serum
Unlike toners, serums serve specific purposes, such as tackling dark spots or acne. Their formulas are more concentrated with ingredients that balance the skin's need for these nutrients.
Serums also round out the theme of many of these products and that is to hydrate skin and make it appear fresh.
In your skincare routine, the serum is applied after the toner.
BONUS: DAYSPA Body Basics - Bath & Body subscription box
If trying to decipher between products seems like a daunting task, subscribe for a bath and body box, handcrafted in the USA. It comes to you once a month, so you can feel pampered.
We've talked about the importance of hydrating and taking care of your skin. Having a subscription of bath and body products means that you are certain to continue this routine. Pampering seems like a selfish act, but on the contrary, it helps to reduce stress, improve your mood and boost your physical health.
Conclusion
Finding skincare products that are safe to use AND made in the USA may pose a challenge, but with challenge comes change.
☝How will YOU be part of the change?
Always remember: Nobody appreciates you and your business more than the people behind the made in the USA name!
