My Non-Toxic Skincare Routine (& Non-Toxic Make-Up Routine!)

Since swapping to non-toxic skincare and makeup back in 2014, I’ve gone through many different brands. We are lucky that in 2020 there is a wide array of options for non-toxic make-up and skincare! I now use Beautycounter almost exclusively for make-up because they test for heavy metals- something other companies aren’t doing. For skincare I use a mix of Beautycounter, Crunchi, AnnMarie Skincare, and a couple other brands.

Beautycounter also formulates all products to be pregnancy-safe which I love.

My daily routine is below! Enjoy!

Daily Non-Toxic Skin Care Routine

Everything is listed in the order I use them!

Note: I have aging, normal skin, and I always get 1-2 pimples right before my period. My skin was dry before starting with Beautycounter, but not anymore. My skin concerns are fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. I used to have redness and rosacea, but these went away with No. 3 Balancing Oil and the Countermatch regimen I started with, before switching to the anti-aging line. They sometimes come back if I neglect my skincare routine.

Morning Non-Toxic Skincare routine

• Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil
• Countertime Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence
• Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream or Antioxidant Soft Cream
• Ultra Renewal Eye Cream
• Clean Deo in Rose
• Dry Shampoo, if needed

Evening Non-Toxic Skincare Routine

• Instant Eye Makeup Remover
• Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil OR Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm
• Countertime Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence
• Overnight Resurfacing Peel 2-3x per week
• Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream
• Ultra Renewal Eye Cream
• Magnesium Lotion on my neck and chest

Extras!

Okay, I use these as needed:

• Overnight Resurfacing Peel– I should really be using this 2-3 times a week instead of my facial oil at night before moisturizing. This dramatically reduces acne scarring and fine lines. BUT, I love the facial oils so much that when the moment comes to decide, I almost always pick the oil first. They just feel so heavenly! But, if you are serious about minimizing pores, addressing scars and wrinkles, etc., you will want to do this 2-3 times a week.
• Charcoal Mask- I do this about once a month, usually right before or during my period.

Daily Non-Toxic Make-up Routine

My simple daily routine is usually less than five minutes. And I never let myself run out of these products!!

• Summer: Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer– I use Shade #1 and I LOVE this light coverage in the summer!!!!!
• Fall, Winter, Spring: Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation– This foundation is AMAZING. Some kind of make-up witchcraft means I look great in shades 110, 150 or 210. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? This is a great tool to help pick what color you are–>> Find your shade match here! I apply this with my fingers.
• Cheeky Clean Cream Blush– I use Havana. Apply lightly, and then Rub, rub, rub!
• Highliner Pencil Eyeliner– this is a Crunchi product, another great non-toxic company!
• Think Big All-in-One-Mascara– Fabulous mascara!! OR Shattered Mascara – I love this mascara by Crunchi, it gives very, very full lashes! It can smudge under the eye, so try some transluscent powder under it!
• Skin Twin Creamy Concealer I use the shade Fair mostly to brighten up under my eyes!
• Brow Gel– I use the Light and this stuff is AMAZING. I never did anything with my brows before and this gel has made it easy and my brows look amazing!
• Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick in Rose in the Spring/Summer and Color Intense Lipstick in Rosewood in Fall/Winter.
• Statement Maker Lipstick– The newest lipstick is longer wear and has 14 shades to choose from!
• Beyond Gloss– I love Peony during the summer! Gorgeous gloss made with ethically sourced mica.
• Lid Glow Cream Shadow– Talc Free creamy, easy to apply eyeshadow. Every client who has ordered this has loved it, and it is an Allure 2022 Award Winner!
• Cheeky Clean Highlighting Balm

Working with Beautycounter

I’m a Beautycounter consultant and I truly love working with this company. I love their mission, their products and I LOVE the peace of mind that all their products safe products. I’m super careful about what I put into my body ever since I researched and started my fertility diet, and I’m super careful about what I put ON my body, and what we use in our house.

After trying lots of non-toxic skincare and make-up products, Beautycounter is my favorite because it is high performing, they have an aggressive sustainability effort and dedicated social mission, and they test for heavy metals. I love their products and I don’t have to do a ton of research for each individual product since I know all their stuff is safe.

I also really love helping my blog readers make the switch to non-toxic products. And I would love to help you make the switch to safer beauty products too.

I also love being part of the Beautycounter team! I’ve developed life-long friendships, and adore my mentor Terilyn Adams who knows EVERYTHING about the Beautycounter business.
