"A while back (like a way-while--I feel bad), someone (and I don&amp;#x27;t remember who) asked me if I could recommend some great organic/natural beauty products that aren&amp;#x27;t super-expensive and that are easy to find/buy. Well here you (finally) go! I&amp;#x27;m a fan of many natural/organic products, but the real expert on this topic would be my friend Kim, who&amp;#x27;s written a lot about the topic for magazines and incorporates as many as she can in her beauty routine (side note: she found out a couple years ago that she&amp;#x27;s allergic to blue dye, which, oddly, is in basically every product, which was one reason she heightened her awareness of what was on ingredients lists!). Anyway, I asked her to share some of her favorite natural products that are easy to find. We&amp;#x27;ll start with skin/haircare, and if you guys are digging this topic, we&amp;#x27;ll do another post with some makeup picks. Fire away, Kim: Mrs. Meyer&amp;#x27;s Holiday HandCare Set--Peppermint This is a little off-season, but the scent is great and lingers just enough, and the lotion is rich without being greasy. Burt&amp;#x27;s Bees Peach &amp;amp; Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub I love this. Feels like it&amp;#x27;s actually exfoliating (I prefer a rougher scrub), but not so much that you&amp;#x27;ll have little scratches on your face. It doesn&amp;#x27;t strip the skin. Alba Botanica Green Tea Eye Gel A great daytime eye cream. (I like something more emollient for night.) Really tightens the skin. Avalon Organics Hand &amp;amp; Body Lotion, Lemon I keep this by my bed. It really smells like fresh lemons. (I always thought the furniture polish my mom used when I was growing up smelled like lemons. Turns out, that actually smells like citrusy chemicals.) Doesn&amp;#x27;t leave greasy marks on my sheets. Burt&amp;#x27;s Bees Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil I like to avoid putting petroleum on my lips, but finding a good natural substitute is tricky. This balm is my latest fave. I don&amp;#x27;t have to apply it 200 times a day, and it&amp;#x27;s very slightly tinted. Yes To Carrots Pampering Carrot Juice Shampoo and Yes To Carrots Pampering Hair Mud Conditioner I love these. Love. (I also love the company&amp;#x27;s hand lotion.) They&amp;#x27;re all-natural and make my hair super-soft. Are there any organic beauty products you love? Where do you buy them? Why and how often do you choose organic/natural products? Are any of you feeling &amp;quot;organic fatigue&amp;quot;? Scroll through the below box for more organic products, tested and approved by moi.
