This Is Clean, This Is Natural - Suki Skincare

It can be hard to find effective, high quality products in the vast sea of the new breed of organic skin care products. Most claim to do such and such but fail to deliver their promises. Believe me I've been through many. So I was especially pleased when I found Suki, a new skin care line by Suki Kramer that utilizes the best natural ingredients for 100% pure and natural products. Minimally processed and bio-dynamic, Suki is one of the few product lines to not use fragrances, dyes or any synthetics of any kind.
If you want to go natural, I suggest starting with the most important part of your beauty, your skin. Start your morning off with the Suki foaming exfoliating lemongrass cleanser. It smells delicious and leave your skin bright and smooth. Then use the clarifying toner to pick up and residue and also to help tone uneven skin. Finish off with the Suki intensive brightening cream and then of course an oil free sunscreen of your choice after that. Your skin will be free of toxins and petrochemicals you'll actually feel your skin breath. Suki is pure, natural and most of all, all you. Get natural with Suki today.

Organic and Natural Foundation Options

Every woman wants a clean face with a complexion as clear as the most flawless diamond on Earth. To achieve this, many factors are involved such as diet, sun exposure, your skin care regimen, and the like. However, there is one easy step you can take that just requires a quick online transaction or trip your local beauty product store. Organic cosmetics are becoming very popular, but can be quite pricey.

Sephora carries a brand called NVEY ECO that offers a certified organic foundation in a compact with ten skin tones to choose from. What is impressive about this product is each shade offers a coverage for a certain type of undertone, which is extremely hard to find in regular drugstore brands, with or without any type of organic or natural certification.

Beautorium offers a product called Logona, which is organic. The foundation is liquid, but only comes in two tones. This one is less expensive than NVEY, but only for light skin tones.

If price is an issue for you, as it is for most people, natural products are a great way to try out a new and innovative product, without breaking the bank. Even though natural does not mean organic by any means, it is still a step up from products created with almost purely harsh chemicals that can actually damage your skin.

Physicians Formula created a new brand called Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Makeup, which is ECOCERT certified. Their Loose Powder works as a foundation with buildable coverage and comes is six skin shades. Perk: This product can be found at your local drugstore.

Origins is another brand that is natural (read their purity statement here) and they claim to use organic ingredients whenever possible. If you want full coverage for a reasonable price, try Next of Skin. It is a very full coverage foundation that lasts all day, and is very hard to rub off. It can even be used as a concealer, layered, if you are in a hurry. This foundation comes in fifteen different skin tones and blends flawlessly.

No matter which foundation you choose, make sure it feels right to you, and try to pick the one that appeals to you the most in texture, coverage, and even its scent. All of these can make an impact on the way you feel throughout the day, especially if you love wearing makeup.
