Every day, you can make a choice to be gentler on the planet and your body when purchasing essential skin care products and items. Plus, did you know that what you put on your body ends up back in your body? Take a look at this simple graphic.

Here are a few simple swap suggestions:

• Especially as the spring sunshine begins peeking out, ditch Neutrogena sunscreen and choose All Good sunscreen instead. My family loves this spray.

• Swap Oribe for Briogeo products that work just as well without the chemical additives.  
• If you’re not ready to ditch tampons for a planet-friendly Diva Cup, at least swap Tampax for Natra Tampons and Pads so you’re not exposing your personal parts to chlorine and other chemicals.
• Swap your Kevin Aucoin pressed blush for one from Han that offers a nice color saturation.
• Ditch your Carmex for Evan Healy’s Whipped Shea Butter for Lips with raspberry seed. Our entire office is obsessed, and we carry it everywhere with us.
