TOP 5 CLEAN BEAUTY PRODUCTS


I was chatting with my massage therapist (also RN) last week, and we got to talking about how our skin is our largest organ, and people forget that we ABSORB everything that we put on it! Meaning all the chemicals that might be in your beauty products, that soaks in! I've known this, but for some reason, it really kicked in that day. I've never been one to specifically search for 'clean' products, but it's always been a bonus. I'm definitely going to be more conscious moving forward!

Below I've rounded up the clean beauty products I already own and use daily!


Tula


Tula is worth ALL the hype, and I literally recommend anything on their site. The probiotic ingredient is a magical game changer. So, you can either take a skin quiz to narrow down the best choices for you or take my word for my tippy top favorite products, which are in no particular order because that's impossible:

PS: USE MY CODE 'ALEXISBUCK' FOR 15% OFF, ALWAYS!

-No Makeup Cleansing Oil

-Cult Classic Cleanser (I use the cleansing oil first and clean with this after)

-24/7 Day Night Moisturizer (holy grail)

-Beauty Sleep Repair Mask (LOVE this because it has Vitamin C and AHA)

-Exfoliating Treatment Mask

-Detoxing & Toning Face Mask Stick (no mess!)

-Exfoliating Sugar Scrub (I keep this in the shower and use a few times a week)

-Face Filter Makeup Primer (color corrects and smooths. I use this daily before I apply makeup)

-Gummy Vitamins (help treat skin issues from the inside + has helped me with bloating)

-Vitamin C Serum (does wonders for hydration and glow)

-Pro-glycolic Toner (I use this morning and night to even skin tone)

-SPF 30 Sunscreen (perfect for sensitive faces!)

-Signature Glow Face Mist (gives the perfect dewy glow. I spray in an X pattern over my finished makeup)



Josie Maran


Argan Oil based lotions and cosmetics. My top favorites are the whipped body butter, which is my daily lotion, and sugar scrub! I recently got a box of hand lotions and gave one to all the girls at work - they're all legit obsessed! Love that they're all different scents. Click here for all Josie Maran

Cosmakery


Clean, cruelty free, and women owned! Clean makeup brands sometimes make me hesitant, I'm afraid they won't apply/blend/or wear the same as my other makeup products. I've never had an issue with Cosmakery! All their products blend beautifully, wear all day, and are so pretty and pigmented. Becky and I had the honor of creating a Cosmakery BFF kit last summer with our absolute favorites, and it's so much cheaper buying it as the kit!

PS: USE MY CODE 'ALEXIS15' FOR 15% OFF, ALWAYS!

Favorites:

-Sculpting Sticks (I use light & medium deep)

-Blush in shade bouquet

-Highlighter in shade firefly

-Bronzer

-Lipstick in shade barely dressed - it's the perfect nude

-Lipgloss in shade belaire

-I also love ALL their brushes



Pink Lily Self Tanner


USE MY CODE 'ALEXIS15' FOR 15% OFF!

I have 3 favorite self tanning products, but Pink Lily's formula is the only that's actually clean! Made with 100% natural DHA, certified organic + cruelty and paraben free. I use the shade 'dark' and it's not overwhelming in color or scent. Has a light coconut smell and looks very natural. Also, get their mitt with it! It's made really well and spreads the mousse smoothly and evenly.

I rotate between this tanning foam + Tan Luxe tanning butter lotion. Another brand I still love is Loving Tan 2 hour express (shade dark)

SUPERSMILE


A teeth whitening brand that *actually* works without strips or sensitivity! They never use silicates, parabens, sulfates, animal by-products, charcoal, or BPAs.

Hands down, if you're starting out, get the extra whitening pre-rinse + extra white toothpaste + extra white accelerator. Swish with the rinse about 30 seconds, spit, then put both toothpastes on a dry toothbrush and brush for 2 minutes. Do this twice a day and you'll have whiter teeth in 2-4 weeks! Just depends on how white or stained your teeth are to start with!

I also highly highly recommend their Zina45 Electric brush!! It's like the Tesla of toothbrushes, haha. Has 4 settings, cuts off after 2 minutes to ensure you're brushing the full time, and has a patented 45° angle on the bristles for more effective cleaning!

I HAVE A 20% OFF CODE THAT ONLY WORKS FOR THIS MONTH! "ALEXIS20"

Seriously, take advantage of it! They usually only offer a one-time 15% off!
