Happy Wednesday Friends! Did you know: There are actual scientific studies proving that lipstick changes us and makes us feel more confident? 💃🏼 But, when you wear lipsticks every day, particularly low-quality lipsticks and balms, which are laden with chemicals, it zaps moisture away from your lips leaving them feeling dry. 🥀 And what about what the lip products are doing to the environment? 🌎 Many #lipsticks are made from petrochemicals, which are toxic to us and to the environment. High levels of #petrochemicals in the body can interfere with your growth, reproduction, development, and intelligence. 🧠 #Formaldehyde, used as a preservative in lipsticks, is a known carcinogen and can cause coughing, breathlessness, and skin irritation. 👅 Chromium, a carcinogen linked to stomach tumors, is also sometimes found in lipsticks. 👀 So what’s a lipstick loving girl to do? Although I don’t have all the answers, this one is simple. Switch to a safer, clean alternative like my lipstick line! 💄 Check out my story for a few more Iip hacks today ☝🏻 Photoshoot produced by @bayareastyledshoots Beauty by @beautybysofiabee #wellnesswednesday #wednesdaylipstick #lipsticklover #safelipstick #naturallipstick #crueltyfreelipstick #betterbeauty #coffeewithcass #betterbeautyadvocate #betterbeauty #switchtosafercosmetics #sanfranciscomakeupartist #bayareamakeupartist #cleanbeauty #beautytipoftheweek #womenofbayarea #womenempowermentwednesday (at San Francisco, California)
