Go Green This Spring With Our Eco-Friendly Beauty Finds
Spring weather is finally here and we’re delighted to see flowers blooming, patrons sipping cocktails on patios, and brides-to-be gearing up for what is sure to be a wonderful wedding season! This welcome temperature change has us thinking about fresh beauty products for brides and bridesmaids who want to go green.
Green Beauty Find #1: Eminence Pear & Green Apple Masque
We love Eminence’s line of organic skincare products because they’re made from all-natural ingredients like organically grown herbs, fruits and vegetables. If you want to pamper yourself and treat your skin to a wonderful pre-wedding glow then we recommend you try Eminence’s Pear & Green Apple Masque. This masque deeply hydrates, softens, and rejuvenates your skin and treats problems like inflammation. Best of all, its gentle and suitable for all skin types.
Keep reading for more eco-friendly beauty finds for spring. These products are as good for you as they are for the planet!
Green Beauty Find #2: Consonant Body Soap
Consonant’s beauty products are crafted with fair-trade and natural ingredients like organic oils, herbs, butters, and artesian spring water. Their natural and organic goat’s milk and hemp, clove and vanilla, and spearmint and sage body soap’s smell divine and will leave your skin silky smooth. Wash with these lovely soaps leading up to your wedding day to ensure your skin is super soft and free of synthetic cleansing agents. Consider including a bar of natural soap in an organic gift basket for your bridesmaids! We also love that each Consonant product includes a cheeky comment like, “Good, you’ve found us. We’ve been expecting you” and “Feels good to treat yourself like royalty, doesn’t it?”
Green Beauty Find #3: Aubrey Organics Silken Earth Translucent Base
Aubrey Organics has been making products free of paraben preservatives, petrochemicals, artificial colors and fragrances for over 40 years! One product that we believe can help brides-to-be to look their best is Aubrey Organics Silken Earth Translucent Base. Don’t be mistaken by the name because this product is a light powder rather than a powder foundation and it’s excellent when used to keep oil at bay. With a light dusting of this on top of your foundation you’ll be looking picture perfect all day long. Best of all, this powder smells like cinnamon and contains aloe and vitamin e. Also, those of you who are sensitive to bismuth oxychloride need not worry because this powder is made with rice starch and tapioca starch instead.
For the month of April the ladies at Smart Bride are thinking green and will be bringing you advice, tips and ideas about how to ensure you have the green wedding of your dreams!
