Ever since my cancer diagnosis and treatment, I have made it a priority to clean up my skin, hair, and makeup products and make clean swaps for products without parabens, sulfates, silicones, dyes, and fragrance that are harmful to our bodies. Our skin absorbs all those toxins into our bloodstreams and is the largest organ in our bodies. Yet we unknowingly poisoned ourselves for years before people woke up to what the beauty industry was putting into our products. While they might say some of the chemical disruptors are “within safe limits” for humans to use, over an extended period where we are using those products, daily on our scalps, body & face, it just has to have an effect in the long run.
Now, being in remission and trying to live my life as clean as possible, I have made clean products a priority and a daily part of my routine. So I have sampled them all for you over the last 3.5 years to come up with these that actually WORK and don’t have a weird smell, and actually last all day, and also, don’t break the bank. Because why should we pay so much more to not make ourselves sick? It’s so frustrating.
So here are some of my top products I love that have become part of my daily routine:
Skin:
Hair:
Make Up:
And finally, the best mirror ever is my simple human sensor mirror. It shows all the flaws and fine lines, but is the most incredible mirror for my makeup.

In summary, a lot of us are waking up and prioritizing clean products, but still flailing in the dark, trying everything to find THE ONE go-to product that works for us. So this is a list of my go-tos that work for me. While everyone’s skin is different, I think this is a pretty great place to start and hope this will also be your forever clean products too!
