Product Junkie!

I have to admit I am a self confessed product junkie! I have a cupboard full of products that I may have used once or not at all. Hair, skin and body products galore! My husband doesn't understand the need for so many beauty products, but I try to tell him they all serve a purpose in my daily/weekly regimen. Being in the beauty industry, it is very easy to accumulate all these products. We receive samples from vendors, trade shows, classes, but then I thought, if all these companies paid less money to hand out hundreds of thousands of samples that may or may not get used and put that money into making a healthier, safer product, wouldn't that be great? We use things everyday that contain harmful ingredients that over time can lead to certain illnesses. Chemicals such as fragrance, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, etc should be avoided if possible. The reason these companies use these ingredients is because it is cheaper and therefore, they can make more of a profit off the product. I am bothered by this because these big companies only care about making money off me, but have no concern about my health and safety. So, I decided to only use products that did not contain these harmful ingredients in my daily and weekly regimen. I also wanted a healthy product line I could use on my clients and feel comfortable with the fact that I am actually nourishing their skin instead of harming it. My two favorite lines by far are Eminence Organic Skin Carehttp://eminenceorganics.com and Image Skin Care.http://imageskincare.com I've seen amazing results in my skin as well as my clients skin. Gone are the days of redness, itchiness, dryness and irritation!!! The Eminence products are composed of raw fruits and vegetables and cold pressed which means the nutrients and minerals are still intact. They smell amazing as it is the natural scent of the fruit or plant being used. The Image products are more of a medically based skin care line with utilizing peptides, vitamin C, green tea and plant based stem cells which are great for aging skin and reducing inflammation. I've seen amazing results with both lines and cannot wait to share them with you!
