Must Have Makeup Picks for your Honeymoon!
The eco-conscious bride does not need to forgo makeup or the perfect hairdo in order to be green. However, before you sign over your face and hair to the salon stylist, educate yourself about product alternatives. If you want it all professionally done, find a salon that uses some of these eco-lines: "green," "organic," or "eco." Suggest these to your stylist or buy your own products. This has the added advantage of allowing you to look eco-fabulous after your wedding day and well into your honeymoon!
Look for concealers and foundations that offer sun protection if you are in a tropical location. If you are enjoying a wintry escape to a ski lodge, moisturizers and smooth hydrating lip balms can be found with eco-friendly ingredients. Check out The Environmental Working Group's Cosmetic Safety Database, Skin Deep Database (cosmeticsdatabase.com) You can find out what chemicals are in your makeup and the toxicity levels present.
