The skin is the body’s largest organ, so taking care of your skin with healthy
habits and nourishing food is crucial.
Many conventional skincare products are toxic, but those toxins don’t remain
on the surface of the skin. Instead, we absorb numerous chemicals into our
bodies.
Choosing clean, natural skincare is a healthcare issue that is beyond skin
deep. What we put on our bodies can affect our health from the inside out.
Below, we’ll show you how to choose the right natural products and food for
your skin.
Introduction
- 2 -
The Makeup Myth
Sadly, many conventional cosmetics, skin, and body
care products sold today are filled with toxic chemicals,
dangerous ingredients, and fragrances that have
hormone disrupting impacts
on the body. (1) The chemical
burden that is applied to the
skin doesn’t just stay there. Instead, when chemicals
or toxins are absorbed through the skin, they
circulate in the bloodstream and end up in the liver and other detox organs,
creating a toxic burden. (2)
Shoppers have a common belief that companies
can’t sell something if it isn’t safe, but this is a myth.
Cosmetic, skincare, and body care companies
frequently include ingredients in their products that
are not thoroughly researched, or which have actually
been proven to be unsafe.
Since women are the primary users of cosmetic and skincare products, the
biggest concern comes in the form of endocrine disruption, or hormone
imbalance. Using multiple products daily that contain plastics, parabens, and
fragrances can create a body burden.
When you know how to read labels on makeup and cosmetic products, you
will be better able to avoid the ingredients that have negative impacts on
your body.
Tip: While we will cover the top offenders here, this is far from an
exhaustive list of hormone-disrupting or otherwise nasty chemicals.
The Environmental Working Group, or EWG, has an online database to
help consumers make smart and clean choices for their cosmetics and
skincare. It is called SkinDeep, and it is free to search.

The 6 Worst Ingredients in Conventional Skincare Products
Parabens
Parabens are used as preservatives, primarily in skincare
and makeup products. They inhibit bacteria from growing,
but when humans are exposed, they can also disrupt
normal hormone production and mimic estrogen in the
body, which can lead to problematic consequences like
skin cancer and reproductive problems. (3)
Phthalates
These ingredients are used to customize fragrances and
scents. Nearly all cosmetic products, even those that
don’t have a strong smell, contain some form of fragrance.
Because fragrances are considered trademarked by many
companies, products don’t always have to be labeled with
“phthalates.” So it’s important to note that if something has
a scent, unless natural ingredients are responsible for the
fragrance, then phthalates are typically involved. These
ingredients are also hormone disruptors; they can lead
to reproductive toxicity and can even be problematic for
breast cancer. (4)
Fragrance
While phthalates can be associated with fragrance, a
scent can be made of many other ingredients. Many labels
will simply list “fragrance” or “parfum” as the ingredient,
and not delve into what specifically was used to create the
fragrance. Often, fragrances use a mixture of chemicals
and natural scents to produce a signature smell.
Fragranced products can be associated with reproductive
toxicity, allergies, and topical skin irritation. (5)
- 4 -
BHT
Short for “butylated hydroxytoluene,” BHT functions as a
preservative in numerous skincare, cosmetic, and even
food products. It is a common skin irritant and can also
lead to organ toxicity and reproductive problems. (6,7)
Lead
Perhaps the oldest known offender, lead is still
predominantly found in conventional makeup products
like lipstick, eyeliner, nail polish, blush, and anything
else that has a deep pigmentation. Lead contamination
is associated with cancer, reproductive problems,
developmental disorders, and an overall cumulative body
toxic burden. While it’s found in small amounts in most
cosmetics, it easily absorbs through the skin. (8,9)
DMDM Hydantoin
Another preservative used to prevent mold growth, DMDM
hydantoin is often found in makeup and hair products. It
releases formaldehyde to stop the growth of bacteria and
other microorganisms. While the companies don’t directly
add formaldehyde, this product produces formaldehyde,
so it can be just as harmful. Formaldehyde is a known
carcinogen and can also irritate the eyes, skin, and lungs. (10)

Basic Do’s and Don’ts of Natural Skincare
Natural skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. There are easy, basic
principles that can be applied to your routine while also taking it to the next
level.
Washing Your Face
Wash your face regularly, even if you only use water.
Use chemical-laden, scented soaps or cleansers with
excessive foam. This strips the natural oil from your
skin.
Exfoliating
Use a microfiber cloth to naturally exfoliate without
harsh chemicals or cleansers.
Use a microbead product that is filled with tiny plastic
pieces. These irritate the skin and pollute the
environment long after they’ve been washed down
the drain.
Moisturizing
Use a natural oil (like coconut oil or avocado oil) to
moisturize your skin.
Use products that are filled with synthetic anti-aging
ingredients, fragrances, and other chemicals. Simpler
is better!
Face Masks
Use a natural, clay-based or avocado mask. Your skin
absorbs ingredients, so you should feed it real food
and nutrients from the earth.
Use an expensive chemical peel or product that will
be harsh and abrasive on your skin.
- 6 -
Sunscreen
Use it, but choose one with a natural, mineral-based
sunblock.
Use aerosol sunblocks, which are filled with extra
chemicals that your skin will absorb.
Oil Cleansing
Embrace the concept that your skin needs oils for
protection and a youthful appearance.
Assume that oil cleansing will make oily skin worse;
natural oil cleansing helps the skin to balance oil
content on its own, without harsh cleansers or
chemicals.

to Oil Cleansing” here.

Best Skin Care Routine for Your Skin Type
Normal/Combination
The most common skin type is normal or “combination” skin. A few patches of
oily spots, especially in the “T” zone, are very common and not a problem that
needs fixed.
Gentle, daily face washing is recommended, either with plain water or
rosewater. Moisturizing should also be done daily, but with a tiny dab of
natural oil, like jojoba, almond, or even coconut in the cooler months.
Oily/Acne
While all skin needs some oil, overactive sebaceous glands in the face can
produce more oil than is necessary, resulting in acne, large pores, shiny
skin, and blackheads. While weather and hormones can play a role, diet and
skincare methods can also help or worsen this condition.
Over-cleansing skin will exacerbate the problem, so limit face washing to
once or twice per day, and don’t use a harsh cleanser meant to strip oils from
the skin. Instead, use a gentle rosewater and then follow with a toner that can
reduce irritation, like apple cider vinegar, witch hazel, aloe, or calendula. After
- 8 -
toner, apply a small amount of a natural oil, since even oily skin needs oil to
stay balanced. When oily skin becomes overly dried from excess washing, it
will continue to produce oil and the pores will remain enlarged from irritation.
Use jojoba, tamanu, or a touch of vitamin E oil to moisturize gently.
Tip: Discover which foods can help clear acne here.
Dry
Dry skin can be a common part of aging, but it can also be genetic or a side
effect of numerous conditions, like thyroid problems or postpartum issues.
Skin that is dry can look dull, wrinkle faster, and even become cracked and
irritated.
Avoid excess washing since washing and drying can remove moisture from
the skin. After washing with water, immediately apply a thicker, moisturizing oil
to the face and skin to trap in the moisture. Argan, avocado, almond, emu, and
coconut oil are all excellent options for rehydrating the skin. For skin that is
extra dry, extra virgin olive oil can be used, especially during winter months.
- 9 -
What to Eat for Clear Skin
Diet impacts the skin’s appearance as much as topical products that are used.
It’s important to eat plenty of the right, skin-nourishing foods as well as to
avoid foods that irritate the skin.

19DIY SKINCARE
• 1 drops tea tree oil
• 1 T cinnamon (optional)
• 2 t salt (optional)
• 1 t coffee beans (optional)
1. To create the first layer of the bars, heat and melt shea butter and ⅔ of the coconut oil in a small saucepan. Pour into a bowl.
2. Mix the coconut oil-butter mix with coffee and maple sugar until smooth.
3. Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze for one hour.
4. For the second (top) layer, melt the rest of the coconut oil and essential oils into a bowl. Mix well.
5. Pour into the same ice cube tray, over the first layer. For decoration, sprinkle optional coffee beans, cinnamon, and salt on top of the bars.
6. Freeze for an additional hour then remove from ice tray.
7. Store in freezer. When ready to use, scrub on face, hands and body until bar melts away. Note: your bath/shower will be slippery from the oil, so make sure to rinse off your tub with hot water to prevent slipping.
Tips:
The scent of coffee is enough for me, but if you’re interested in giving your bars a unique scent, feel free to add a few drops of your desired essential oils into the recipe. I chose to use tea tree oil to help preserve the bars and lemon to balance the tea tree
oil scent.
These will melt at room temperature. For that reason, these body bars should be stored in a freezer when not in use. You can freeze and store them for up to one to two months in an airtight jar. I choose to leave them in a mason jar in my freezer and take one out when I’m ready to exfoliate.

2. Using a spray bottle, spritz water to moisten mixture as you stir. The mixture should be crumbly, but hold when squeezed.
3. Use a spoon to scoop mixture into bomb molds or ice cube trays. Press firmly. If using a bomb mold, overfill each side slightly before putting together. Allow to set at least 4 hours in a cool, dry area.
4. Loosen bombs from molds and place in warm bath water to dissolve.
Tip:
If your mold has a more detailed shape, let the bath bomb set for an entire day to prevent the shape from breaking when you take it out of the mold.

• 10 activated charcoal
capsules
• 2 t coconut oil (or 4 t
warm water)
1. First, you’ll want to make sure that your work station is prepped
with an old towel or t-shirt. Due to the nature of activated
charcoal, it can potentially stain light tabletops, counters, and
dishware.
2. Take a medium-sized bowl, and place it in front of you. Place a
cup of your activated charcoal capsules to the side.
3. If you’re using powdered charcoal, simply pour your charcoal
into the bowl. If you’re using capsuled-activated charcoal, gently
unscrew each cap one-by-one, and dump the activated charcoal
into the bowl in front of you.
4. Throw out the empty capsules, or wipe down any charcoal that
may have fallen during the process.
5. Place a saucepan on your stove, and set the temperature on low.
Head the coconut oil (or water) for 2 minutes (or until completely
melted).
6. Pour the coconut oil into the bowl of activated charcoal. Mix until
smooth.
7. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes (or until cooled).
8. Use an eyeliner brush to apply the finished product. If you’re
using a brush from your previous makeup kit, don’t forget to
wash your brush to remove toxins, residue, and bacteria. If you
used coconut oil to make your eyeliner, apply it like regular liquid
eyeliner. If you used water, press to apply.
9. Store in a room-temperature or cool area.

2. Fill a dark glass jar full with jojoba oil. If the jojoba oil you are

vitamin E capsule with a pin and squeeze the contents into the
jojoba oil. Use one capsule for every 2 ounces of jojoba oil. Then
add 3 drops of carrot seed essential oil.
3. Place the lid on and shake well to combine. You can massage
