Low Tox Beauty

By Dr_Angela_Lucterhand

Low tox beauty finds and tips for healthy skin, hair, and natural aging options.

If you’re looking for a quick nail with the cost, or the toxins…this is my go-to.

I use a base coat and top coat. The color changes with the need or the season but this cool tone pink is perfect for when it’s winter and Valentine’s Day.

No, I didn’t use any products. Never have. Remember healthy hair is an inside job and you can only do what you can do with the genetics you were dealt. So, using my curling iron won’t necessarily make your hair look just like mine! 

But I choose this one bc it has a long barrel and I can adjust the heat. It’s also the one my stylist uses.

Just a quick rundown of what I choose but I’ll link other great options too.

I’ve linked the faves but I tend to use some things I just need to “use up” because I don’t LOVE them but since they’re expensive and low tox, I don’t want to waste them. So, my compromise is to use them when traveling and then if I lose them, if they run out, etc then it’s not a huge deal.

The deodorant, I’ll never settle for travel with one that doesn’t work. IYKYK. 

The vitamin C serum from counter beauty is unbeatable and while I can’t link it here, google is your friend.
Let me start with the background:
You can see in my highlight that I’ve been using less toxic mascaras for about 6 years. 

The original less toxic mascaras were kinda hard to work with because they were waxy. 

For the past year or 2, I’ve used 3 different kinds, made sure to use 2 tubes each to compare and contrast and get a feel for how they “age.”

My top two favorites (of the 3 I tried):
@thrivecausemetics liquid lash extensions are rated a 3 on the EWG toxicity rating and give you long lashes! To me, it’s a little hard to get off with my typical cleanser and it comes off in strange flaky chunks because the fibers, I was assume. 

@iliabeauty fullest volume song mascara is a 2 on the EWG toxicity rating and therefore it’s the one I use lots of the time. Opening a new tube, it’s amazing and gives amazing lashes! As you use it though, about a month in, it gets more waxy and isn’t as perfect. 

So, I do the Ilia for daily most of the time and the thrive for special occasions or nights out. My choice is based solely on the toxicity rating for my daily use but I do like thrive better in terms of performance.

Remember my criteria for less toxic beauty is always less toxicity but also whether or not it works! Less toxic mascaras have come a long way!

Since nail polish can be a little crazy in the toxin department, I often paint my nails at home and use 7-free polish options. These days there are tons of good brands but I feel like I end up with olive and June most of the time because you can get it at target. 
The long lasting usually lasts 2 weeks for me! However, this color is in the seasonal kit I love. The bottles are a bit smaller which means I’m not committing to one color for years because I don’t paint my nails much. If you don’t love all the colors, then they’d be great stocking stuffers for someone who may like them especially teens!

I bought the 2 gift sets so I could get a good deal on deodorant I know I’ll use but to also have stocking stuffers or options for gifting. I also selfishly wanted to smell ALL the scents to give you feedback. 

If I had to choose a gift sets, I’d choose the standards bc it has charcoal and eucalyptus which are my two favorite scents. The vanilla is ok-not bad but not my fave. The blue tansy I am not a fan of. The holiday scent is mint! So, if you don’t like spearmint, steer clear! 

This natural deodorant works. The best one I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried them all.

Decrease toxin exposure with a simple swap like this and you see the changes in detox ability when you run thermography images, etc. 

Perfect gift for a teen, an athlete, a crunchy woman, a postpartum mom, a menopausal woman, or anyone who has had breast cancer. 💓

No one is going to tell you the that the biggest hormone drop of your life happens after a baby and that drop in estrogen means body odor outta nowhere! 
But guess what, you’re about to feed your baby from milk ducts right by your armpit and you want to avoid toxins if possible. 
I tried everything. Trust me. 
This was the only brand that worked for next level BO without any toxins.

I love a good scent but not the hormone issues than can come with perfumes. If your perfume lasts all day without reapplication, you know there’s hormone disruptors in there. Good news is that clean brands are on the scene and you don’t have to sacrifice a great scent.

I like androgynous scents that are deep and often musky but that’s why I encourage a sample kit because everyone has different preferences and scents change once mixed with your own body oils!

When dry air hits, up the moisture for skin and hair. 🙌🏻 
And if you’re over 40 or postpartum, deodorant that works is essential. Iykyk. Especially in those chunky wool sweaters that are perfect for colder weather.

One of the # 1 questions I get is about my hair. And while I have natural greying, thick, curly hair, this is how I go from air drying, sleeping on it, looking blah to a quick ready-to-go look in less than 10 min. 

And since most of that time is spent curling the waves, I work during the process! 

Since my hair is so long currently, I use a long barrel curling iron to get the job done. 🙌🏻
And yes, that’s it. No products except shampoo and conditioner  🤷🏼‍♀️

I am choosing to age gracefully without Botox or fillers but let me tell ya about those 11’s I’ve got! I’m so passionate and concentrate hard, and make lots of facial gestures 🤷🏼‍♀️

These facial expressions are crucial for babies and toddlers to learn emotional signals so try not to suppress them for those years. 

And if you have an autoimmune disease, Botox is often not an option. 

I’ve been using frownies for years now and while I still have lines, it’s been the best thing I have found to wake up with a clean slate.
