A Wealth of Green Beauty Guide(ance)

Calling all beauty product aficionados!  If you haven’t yet stumbled upon The Green Beauty Guide, click over post haste to learn just about everything you ever wanted to know, and a few things you could do without. (Placenta face masks?  yuck…but they agree).  Author Julie Gabriel gets down the the nitty gritty on a whole host of ingredients, when to use them, when to steer clear and does a fantastic job of separating truth from urban myth and hype.  For example, I’ve heard a lot lately about Gotu Kola, in skincare and as a supplement, and Julie’s latest post paints a pretty clear picture on this ancient medicinal herbs pros and cons.  Julie also happens to be the author or a pretty fun book called, GREEN BEAUTY RECIPES: Easy Homemade Recipes to Make Your Own Organic and Natural Skincare, Hair Care and Body Care Products, a good resource to have on  hand when you’re feeling a little made science calling and your beauty routine needs a little freshening up.
