Pregnancy + Nursing Friendly Anti-Aging Skincare
Is there such thing as safe, anti-aging skincare during pregnancy and nursing? Short answer is “YES!”🎉💕 I over exposed my skin to the sun for decades. My skincare priority at this point in my life is reducing fine lines and wrinkles on my face, neck, chest and backs of my hands. I never realized how toxic our personal care products really were until I started looking into the ingredients when I was pregnant with my first child. This was my “ah-ha” moment and why I strive to use safer products for myself and my family. Y’all… the amount of research that can go into finding a good skincare regime makes…

My top non-toxic bath and body products
When making a swap to safer, I strongly suggest using cleaner body care options. As you may know, for over ten years now, I’ve battled with a skin condition called psoriasis. Psoriasis is a common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that often comes and goes. When I first started experiencing these symptoms, I didn’t know what was causing it or what it was. It was really embarrassing dealing with this issue and not knowing what…
