Know Before You Go

Beautycounter sunscreen toxic free family

It’s that time of year—spring is in the air so it’s time to talk about sunscreen.  Of course, I want to focus on SAFE and CLEAN sunscreen for everyone. As you get warmed up for brighter days, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays. Remember, I am a skin cancer patient, so I am speaking from experience on this. And while we are on this topic, please consider making an appointment with your dermatologist to get your skin checked!

In my quest to find a safer, healthier deodorant, I have tried several different ones. This is tricky because I work out every single day, which means the deodorant I use has to stand up to my workouts. While I have had moderate success with some of these safer brands, I have not been 100% satisfied. And as we wait for Beautycounter to launch a safe deodorant (we hope soon), I have finally found a new option that I love, and it’s working great for me! Plus, it does NOT stain my clothes.
