Going green with makeup

Many of us want to look good. We use makeup to cover imperfections and enhance our looks. But, we don’t think about what is in our makeup. Many makeup products are toxic and bad for the environment.
The average woman’s morning routine puts her in contact with a hundred chemicals before breakfast!
Only 11% of 10,500 ingredients in beauty products have been tested for safety.
 However, there are many makeup products that are less toxic and more environmentally friendly. They may be more expensive but I can tell you it is well worth it!
