GreenBeauty Chat :: Natural Sunscreens, Spring Trends

Every Thursday, I host #wmnhealth chat on twitter, 9pm EST.

At least once a month, the topic is Green Beauty from the inside out with myself, @EdenDiBianco, @savvybrownblog, @RebeccaCasciano, and @organicvixen.

Here is a round up of some of the green beauty products mentioned during the chat, ones we’d love to try, and spring transitional tips.

“I want women of color to know that if you live in an urban environment, you at least need a natural sunscreen,…..
cancer is real”-@yoliouiya

@EdenDiBianco

@DLCBrooklyn also has upcycled jewelry, made in #Brooklyn Check them out 4 green/sophisticated but edgy pieces!

I’m a #makeup artist. It’s called PRIMER! Try Nurturing Force primer. PS don’t use Smashbox it’s Estée Lauder. #wmnhealth

“Loving brights on eyes & lips also doll lash trend. It’s SO cute. But wary of semiperm lash xtensions. Bonds r toxic!”-@EdenDiBianco

@savvybrownblog

I’m really into reclaimed/upcycled jewelry. ISn’t this pretty? #green #eco #wmnhealth

Yes! I use @origins plantopia (Plantscription) for eyes. IT’s $$$ but I went to @sephora and got a sample (free) luv it!

I use organic rose hip oil around my eyes all the time and it really helps w/wrinkles #wmnhealth

@organicvixen

lots of brands like @ClubMonaco have recycled and fair trade jewelry

there are also subscription based programs to help people discover new products like @consciousbox @ecosytiletto @naturalbuys

I’m all about that $10 and under sunscreen! Even @BurtsBees makes the budget!…extremely thick! Better for visits to the beach!
