Plastic Free July- MARA Celebrates by Choosing Glass

Plastic Free July

It’s Plastic Free July which means choosing to reduce plastic waste is ultimately up to you. Think it can’t be done or its not easy? Au contraire beauty lovers! There are conscious brands out there that want to do right by Mother Nature. Therefore, what better way to start than swapping your beauty products for glass ones!

Our brand of choice? MARA. This skincare label not only has completely transformed our skin for the better; BUT their use of bottle design helps to put our minds at ease in terms of making the environment a healthier place.

Why is this all important? Well, its because the numbers aren’t pretty. One statistic reveals that there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050. Seriously, you guys that is literally ONLY 21 years away. Therefore, the time is now to act. It’s time to start doing our parts, even in small ways to begin reducing any plastic caused damage. Even little changes can make a HUGE difference.

Nevertheless, how is MARA truly helping to make a difference in this growing issue of plastic waste? Read on to learn about MARA Beauty’s environmental friendly methods; as well as info about some of our favorite products by them!

Plastic Free July- MARA Celebrates by Choosing Glass

MARA, an algae-based line of daily and treatment face oils, is helping to reduce plastic’s harmful effects by committing to the plastic-free life by using only glass vessels for their products: Universal Face Oil and Algae Retinol Oil.

Going plastic-free is an impactful way to help protect the earth that we love. Not only will MARA make for the perfect addition to your skincare routine, but you’ll also be doing your part for the environment.

Algae Retinol Face Oil $120
A powerful blend of 1.2% clean retinol is counterbalanced with ultra-rich hemp-derived cannabis oil. While the retinol helps turnover cells and soften the signs of aging, cannabis oil eliminates the risk of dry, flaky, red skin typically caused by retinol. Instead, it hydrates and calms the skin.

Universal Face Oil $72
The key to instantly hydrated skin is MARA’s UFO! Whether used on its own or a few drops added to your favorite foundation or moisturizer, this face oil is extracted from Moringa plant, a miracle superfood with 90+ nutrients, 46 antioxidants, Vitamins A, B, C, D, E that work together to reveal a dewy, fresh complexion no matter the occasion. High in bilberry baobab plant oils that soak your complexion with skin-brightening vitamin C and resveratrol.

Clear Skin

Do you crave to be able to bare it all? Well, now you can! We are revealing how to say bye-bye to acne, zits and dry skin and hello to flawless, gorgeous skin!

As anyone on this planet knows getting a zit especially right before a special occasion can be the pits. However, with the following quick tips you can achieve clear skin and help keep it that way.

If you are in Los Angeles or the Valley, skip doing your own skin care. Visit my favorite celebrity esthetician that specializes in facials and back facials, Alicia Suggs of The L.A. Glow. Check out her facial treatments. You can follow her on Instagram too @thelaglow.

Water Babies

Are you drinking enough water? This tip is so simple yet still many of us do not always make the best use of it. Drinking enough water every day can help us flush out as well as detoxify our bodies.

What can this accomplish? By staying properly hydrated we are able to rid our bodies of not only bad elements that can make us sick, but also elements that can create our beauty foe, acne.

As a result, it is essential to be sure to drink enough water each and every day. By keeping the body well hydrated with water, we can achieve not only a healthier body but healthy looking skin.

Clear Skin- The Easiest Methods for the Lazy Beauty Girl (Cont.)

Thou Shall Not Be Picker

This year make one promise to yourself, “I will not squeeze or pick my pimples!” When a zit pops up right before a special occasion, it can be very tempting to want to get rid of it immediately. However, doing so could prove to be very costly.

What some don’t realize, is that when you pick or squeeze a pimple you’re only making the problem worse. This is because doing so can actually lead to the acne spreading. So then, what started as a little problem can then become a much bigger issue.

Therefore, what is the cure or solution to this common beauty problem? Instead of squeezing or picking, apply a topical ointment or cream specially formulated to treat acne. Also, applying toner to the skin after cleansing can help to keep skin clear. Use Q-tips or cotton balls to dab on the toner to any infected areas.

Clear Skin- The Easiest Methods

Clear Skin

Nothing But a Food Thing Baby

Can you eat your way to better skin? In one word, yes! For healthier clear skin be sure to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

For instance, Vitamin A has been scientifically proven to help fade brown spots, create smoother skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This is because Vitamin A has the ability to stimulate cells that create tissues that keep skin healthy and firm. Furthermore, this vitamin also helps to protect skin against UV damage as well as infection. Therefore, if you want fresh, youthful looking skin then Vitamin A is the vitamin for you!

Not quite sure which foods will help give your body more Vitamin A? Well, Vitamin A can be derived from such animal sources such as eggs, meat as well as dairy products. However, there are plenty of plant-based food sources that you can consume as well in order to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin A. They are:

•Carrots
•Spinach
•Cantaloupes
•Kale
•Mangoes
•Apricots
•Peaches
•Broccoli
•Asparagus
•Pumpkin

Eat plenty of these foods and you’ll be on your way to gorgeous clear skin!

Get You Some Sun, Hun

This final clear skin tip is actually going to destroy a popular myth. Here it goes: The sun isn’t completely bad. From the time we are very little we are often taught that being in the sun is going to destroy your skin and leave you looking like a horror film character.

Nevertheless, not all sun exposure is bad for you. Yes, extremely long lengths of sun exposure can cause damage, however, small amounts can actually be good for your skin. daily exposure to the sun can manufacture vitamin D throughout the skin.

Research has shown that this natural vitamin cannot only heal but help prevent acne. it does this by helping to reduce inflammation while keeping skin soft strong and smooth with a luminous glow. All you have to do in order to enjoy this benefit is to go outside for just 10 to 15 minutes everyday.

Remember, it’s all about healthy exposure. Short amounts and bursts of time out in the sun can do your skin much good. It is the longer amounts of UV exposure that may cause damage. Therefore, stay balanced with daily exposure to the sun, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, and don’t even think about squeezing or picking those pimples! By keeping all these tips and tricks in mind clear skin can be yours.
