Clean beauty is so easy and attainable that you can even buy it at the grocery store.

Whole Foods

I know I can’t be the only one who goes into Whole Foods for milk, butter, and bread and comes out with not only my pantry essentials, but a face mask, bath bomb, and new body lotion. I’ve been a longtime fan of getting my beauty and skincare products from the grocery store, whether it be Erewhon, Lassens, or Whole Foods. I trust them to give me the best produce, and they deliver every time; so when it comes to maintaining my clean beauty routine, they serve me products just as good as my cherry tomatoes. 

When I first started exploring the world of clean beauty, I thought it would be expensive and take longer to yield results without the acids and probably terrible-for-me products I was used to zapping zits away with. To my surprise, my skin has adapted to clean beauty products incredibly well, and every time I introduce a new product, my skin glows and hydrates faster than ever.

One of the biggest things I’ve noticed from making the switch is that my skin is less dependent on my skincare routine. When I would use certain moisturizers or cleansers in the past, I would notice my skin wouldn’t look as smooth or soft if I tried something else for a few days; my skin was left searching for and needing whatever was in those products. Clean beauty products evoke a feeling as though they want me to fly the coop of needing acne treatments and dark spot creams, as if one day my skin will be clear and require less maintenance.

While fruit extract and juices being used in skincare isn’t a new concept, it is a great way to add a boost of fruit and veggies to your routine.

Upcycled Beauty 

Reduce, reuse—you know the rest. Recycling things that might wind up in the trash (like steeped green tea, coffee grounds, or nutshells) into your skincare products is just one way to reduce waste. Coffee grounds make a great exfoliator, even for sensitive skin.
