On a scale of 1-to-lizard skin, how dry and cracked are your hands and cuticles this time of year? This dryness is especially exacerbated if you use acetone-based nail polish remover as it strips away your skin’s natural oil barrier leaving you with ragged, cracked, and dry cuticles. PLUS ingredients in traditional nail polish remover - such as acetone, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate - can cause headaches, dizziness, irritates eyes, skin, and are considered UNSAFE during pregnancy!
But help is on the way! There are several all-natural nail polish removers that don’t contain a drop of acetone and are actually GOOD for your skin! Keep reading to see my top natural nail polish removers, plus a DIY nail polish remover recipe!

I don’t want to tote around a gym bag full of soaps, creams, and lotions (see my prior post about shoulder pain). I try to make everything effective as possible, meaning products have to pull double- or triple- duty in order to earn a spot in my toiletry bag. This is why face wipes are my post-workout skin saver - I can use them as a cleanser and toner all in one. Plus face wipes are great to have along in your desk drawer for a mid-day refresh, and they also work wonders on camping or car trips when access to a bathroom is limited. Because I am always on the lookout for ways to detox my beauty routine, I of course, had to figure out a way to make my own face wipes without all of the preservatives and chemicals found in commercially available products. Here I share with you my recipe for toxin-free face wipes that you can customize to your own skincare needs.

For many of us, our ears perk up at the word 'detox' - we envision clean diets, yoga sessions, and vegetables. All of these things have a detoxing effect in their own right, but have you ever thought about detoxing your beauty routine? As in, most of us use a great deal of chemicals and toxins on our skin daily in the form of soaps, shampoos, deodorants, and makeup.

...and other home remedies that are wrecking your skin.
If you know me, you know I'm all about the home remedy. I slather castor oil on sore muscles, I drop vinegar in my ears when I get swimmer's ear, and coconut oil is my home-remedy panacea. But, there's a limit to this, especially when it comes to your skincare routine. You want to use caution when it comes to what you slather on your face because, well, your face is different than the skin on the rest of your body. The epidermis of facial skin – the top layer of skin – is made of smaller cells than the epidermis on the rest of the body. Facial skin is therefore thinner and has less of a natural barrier than skin on the rest of your body. This is why it’s so important to nourish and protect facial skin and avoid irritating ingredients. Read on and discover the Top 3 Home Remedy Products You Should NEVER Put On Your Face.
