Skincare Review: Skin

I discovered Skin unexpectedly one day while browsing through one of my favorite Kansas City boutiques, Stuff. Stuff sells an eclectic array of art, jewelry, and collectibles from artists throughout the country, plus, evidently, skincare. Skin is a line of chemical-free skin and body care products created right here in the Kansas City area.

This one’s for the ladies

All right, ladies, today I’m going to be covering a topic that some of you might find a little icky, but I’m actually really psyched about it. (For the guys, if you are uncomfortable hearing about female bodily functions, you may just want to close your browser now.)

I recently started using a menstrual cup instead of tampons, and it’s totally awesome. I wish someone had told me about these things years ago. I think it is one of the best things we gals can do for our health and for the planet.

Natural Product Lineup

In my ongoing mission to eradicate synthetic chemicals from my daily routine, here are some of the personal care products I am comfortable using and endorsing based on both ingredients lists and packaging.

Shampoo

I’m using my Chagrin Valley Café Moreno shampoo bar. My scalp feels so much better now that I am not using SLS-based shampoo. Surfactants like SLS strip hair of its natural oils, causing the scalp to produce more.
