This Month’s Special: Beautycounter’s Countertime Collection As a Beautycounter Consultant, I’m always watching for the latest in clean beauty products made with safe, non-harmful ingredients. They’ve recently launched Countertime, a new collection to help skin get better with age! The collection uses Retinatural Complex – an innovative blend of bakuchiol and Swiss alpine rose – to visibly firm, plump, and brighten skin.

This Month’s Special: Countersun Mineral Sunscreen Mist SPF 30 With summer coming (hopefully soon!) it’s time to start thinking about sun protection. I’ve recently become aware of the dangerous chemicals lurking in the sunblocks and sunscreens that I’ve been using for years. Not only do most sunscreens contain chemicals that are bad for our bodies, but they also contain chemicals that are destroying the reefs in our oceans. For this reason, I’m using this safer sunscreen from Beautycounter – it sprays on evenly and blends beautifully. It utilizes non-nano zinc oxide which means that there is no risk of inhalation when …

The D3 is carried in medium chain triglyceride oil, which is important since vitamin D is fat soluble and needs some fat to be absorbed.

This Month’s Special: UltraFlora Spectrum When it comes to probiotic supplements, what you see isn’t always what you get! Quality is of utmost importance when choosing a probiotic off of the shelf. Be sure to read the fine print – if a probiotic states that it has 5 billion CFU per capsule (for example), check to make sure that means at the time of expiration, not at the time of manufacture. If the bottle can’t confirm that the dose on the labeling is accurate at the time of expiration, there is no knowing how many bacteria are actually in the capsules …
