Sustainable & Non-toxic Makeup! / Maquillaje ecológico y natural!

My mornings in Bali & my natural beauty routine! You guys asked for it- how I do my makeup everyday; especially while traveling- so here goes! To be honest, I don’t use that much makeup and my routine is usually less than 4 minutes long but the products I use make me smile every single time! Organic, nontoxic, cruelty-free, and Vapour Beauty taken cosmetics to another level by using wind power, and boxing its products in packaging that is recyclable and printed with soy ink! Top that with the creaminess and yummy smell of each product and we have the perfect combo! Here’s how my everyday makeup ritual flows like:
1) I apply essential oils on my face
2) I use Vapour Beauty concealer and foundation
3) I then use their Aura Multi Use in shade Scandal for my lips and cheeks
4) I apply the Halo Illuminator on my cheeks and nose
5) I finish it off with their Velvet Gloss in shade Deva and some mascara. That’s it! Less than 3 minutes. Simple and good for my health and our planet! Any of you tried @vapourbeauty before? I’ve been using them for over a year and LOVE! And...you guys get 15% off with code “waterthruskin”!

Other things I love about Vapour Organics:

-They use 70% organic ingredients and 30% essential oils

-They don’t test on animals

-They use solar and wind power in the warehouses

-They package only in metal and glass. No plastic.

-They use eco-friendly packaging printed with soy ink.

Mañanas en Bali y mi rutina de belleza natural! Ustedes me lo pidieron- cómo me hago el maquillaje todos los días, especialmente durante mis viajes- así que aquí se los comparto! Para ser honesta, no uso mucho maquillaje y mi rutina normalmente tarda menos de 4 minutos, pero los productos que uso me hacen sonreír cada vez! Orgánicos, sin químicos, sin crueldad, y Vapour Beauty ha llevado los cosméticos a otro nivel mediante el uso de la energía eólica y sus envases reciclables e impresos con tinta de soja. Eso más la cremosidad y el delicioso aroma de cada producto, hacen el combo perfecto! Así es cómo fluye mi ritual de maquillaje todos los días:
1) Me pongo aceites esenciales en la cara.
2) Uso el corrector y la base de Vapour Beauty
3) Luego uso su Aura Multi Use en color Scandal para mis labios y mejillas
3) Me pongo Halo Illuminator en mis mejillas y nariz

Simple & Natural Beauty Rituals!

Here is a simple and non-toxic beauty ritual I want to share with you. I apply this clay mask 1 to 2 times per week, and the other beauty products (melt and oil) every single day. Morning and night!

I know I’ve talked about natural beauty many times before but, in short, the reason why we should all choose organic, vegan and non-toxic products is because whatever we put on our skins gets absorbed by our bodies and transported into our bloodstream. What does this mean exactly? Very simple. Just like our diet, products can poison us or heal us. For that reason, you should always perform your research, read labels and choose brands consciously! Here are a few I recommend:

1)   Detox: Bentonite Clay mask. In case you haven’t read about bentonite clay, here is a link to powerful info that will make your jaw drop! Betonite clay has many health benefits and, when used as a mask, helps detoxify your skin and heal wounds or any skin diseases. I decided to give this brand a try and, so far, I love it! You can get it at Whole Foods!

Ritual:

            -Add 1 tbsp of clay, 2 tbsps of water, 1 drop of your favorite essential oil. I used wild orange this time but normally use Lavender.

            -Apply on your face with a brush

            -Let it dry for 10 minutes and wash it off with warm water

2)   Hydrate: To hydtrate, I use two products I ADORE!

a.   LXMI Nilotica Melt: vegan, no-animal testing, organic, fair-trade (LXMI pays 3 times the local wages to African harvesters) and has only ONE ingredient: Nilotica (a rare relative of Shea butter). This melt nourishes and hydrates your skin, removing wrinkles and little pimples.

                                               i.     I apply a thick amount of it at night  (like a melt mask) and a pearl size of it in the morning, especially around delicate areas like my eyes and forehead.

                                              ii.     Ps: you can get it at Sephora! And they also have a travel size!

b.     OSEA hydrating oil: this little roll-on does not only smell DELICIOUS but is also the perfect travel-buddy to carry in your bag. I carry mine 24/7 and apply it every time my skin asks for nourishment. It is natural, vegan, cruelty-free and made with essential oils.

Easy and convenient baby steps to a better, healthier and wiser you! I hope you enjoy them! Xo
