eco-beauty

I’m all about a beauty product that does what it says and is good for you too!

LA FRESH makes a complete lines of wipes for just about any beauty need, they are eco-friendly and free of harsh or harmful ingredients and even have skin benefiting oils in them!

I’ve been using the LA FRESH natural peppermint wipes constantly. They have a blend of six oils, including peppermint oil for a nice aromatherapy boost. Peppermint oil has been used to treat everything from indigestion to headaches to nausea. The Olive, Jojoba, Sesame, Grapeseed, Vitamin E oils are a great addition to the wipe because they help keep skin soft and hydrated.

The wipes are meant to massage onto temples, shoulders or anywhere you might feel stressed or tense. They are definitely relaxing, I found the scent to be oh so cooling and calming. I love taking a big inhale and just enjoying the pleasant scent and then wiping down my neck and temples at the end of a long day. The wipes pleasantly smell of peppermint hard candy and give a bit of a cool tingle on the skin.

I’ll admit that I’ve also been using these wipes as a makeup remover, and a very effective one at that. They gently removed all of my makeup after a long night out, when I was just too tired to wash my face. Afterwards my face felt just as clean as if I washed it and there was no sticky residue behind, which I love.

Last week I attended the HBA Global Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in NYC. The weather was horrific but I managed to brave the rain storm and make it in time for the keynote speech by Pamela Baxter, President/CEO LVMH Group. Pamela was phenomenal, she was funny, a great storyteller and of course very informative of how the beauty industry has changed over the years. Pamela’s keynote was a great way to start off the expo, so I’m glad that I made it!

Supermodel Christie Brinkley was presented with the HBA Positively Beautiful award for her philanthropic support of Smile Train, a non-profit that provides free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries. Christie gave a moving speech detailing how the fate of these children who cannot afford this $250 surgery.

Unfortunately I was unable to stay too long but I did make my way around the booths to check out the vendors. I came across an eco-beauty brand that I just had to share with you. It’s called LA Fresh and they make a variety of on the go personal care items such as acetone-free nail polish remover, oil-free face cleanser, waterproof makeup remover etc. all in single use packets. Best of all they contain delicious ingredient like cucumber, oat, aloe and vitamin. So go check them out!
