No Cosmetic Surgery Beauty Products

I saw Dr. Youn on the Tamara Hall show, and found out that he is a believer in using “natural” methods for long term beauty regimens. He does sell beauty products, which I am happy to inform you he
reports to be “cruelty-free”.

I share his website with you because at HairBlues we try to help you find good beauty products.

Celebrating Native American Beauty

November is a time of year where many holidays are celebrated from various cultures. With that said, this is also Native American Heritage Month. I am happy to bring you information about Native American Beauty companies.

Here’s an excerpt from Womens Health website about these beauty products.
The majority of these Indigenous and Native American makeup, skincare, and body care brands, there’s a focus on ingredients found directly in nature and sustainable practices to harvest those ingredients and package the products. Utilizing natural herbs, oils, and extracts (like sage, tea tree, and lavender) is key for Indigenous communities, who live in communion with the land they’re on and incorporate nature into many of the medicinal practices that have been in their families for centuries. Many of the products are handmade by the founders, too.

Read the details at the link below for a list of these sustainable beauty products.

MAKEUP SPRING CLEANING

News you could use 🙂

How many times have you thought about keeping that old makeup and even worse used it? I get it. Makeup is expensive, and sometimes we overbuy, or over experiment – then we end up wasting those hard to come buy dollars.

Nevertheless, makeup does have an expiration date, and we should be cautious to follow the suggestions given on its use.

A Conversation about Cruelty-Free, Vegan Beauty Products and Climate Change.

These days the conversation about climate change is a constant concern. A recurring topic on HairBlues.me has been cruelty-free and Vegan products. This month we continue that conversation as we explore what the differences are between cruelty-free, vegan cosmetics, and why some companies use “green” packaging.

The November Wellness Connections podcast explains the difference among these products, and packaging.

Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Bill for 2020

It’s a brand new year, and  brand new times  for cosmetics in California. That’s right!

Some of you may remember my post in September 2018, when I reported that a bill was introduced by Former Governor  of California, Jerry Brown to BAN animal testing for cosmetics. https://hairblues.me/2018/09/30/animals-will-be-freed-from-testing-cosmetics/

It turns out that animal testing cosmetics is not a requirement to prove that cosmetics are safe.  The new  law has come  into effect as of January 1, 2020. This new law bans the sale or import of animal tested cosmetics.  In addition, the states of Nevada, and Illinois have joined in the push to BAN animal testing on cosmetics.  This is the first such law in the United States.  https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/02/01/business/ap-us-animal-tested-cosmetics-bans.html
