Inside a Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner’s Beauty Routine

When it comes to maintaining optimal health, we often think of diet, exercise, and sleep as the primary pillars. However, as a holistic hormone health practitioner, Brit Lewis, knows that what we put on our skin is just as crucial as what we put in our bodies.

Our skin is our largest organ, and it absorbs a significant portion of what we apply to it. Therefore, using clean, non-toxic ingredients in our beauty routine is essential for supporting our hormonal health.

The Hormone-Skincare Connection
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, playing a critical role in regulating many bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, libido, and reproductive health.

However, many conventional beauty products contain what are called endocrine disruptors— aka chemicals that can interfere with your hormone function. These disruptors can mimic or block natural hormones, leading to imbalances that can affect everything from your energy levels to your menstrual cycles.

Common endocrine disruptors found in beauty products include parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. You're going to want to ditch these products ASAP because these toxic ingredients can be absorbed through the skin and accumulate in the body, potentially leading to even more hormonal imbalances and related health issues.

The Importance of Clean Beauty
Switching to clean, non-toxic beauty products can help reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals and support overall health. They are a much safer choice for our skin, hormones, and our well-being.

Tips for Supporting Your Hormone Health

• Read Labels: Always read the ingredient labels on beauty products. Avoid products that contain parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, and other harmful chemicals.
• Simplify Your Routine: Sometimes, less is more. Stick to a few essential products with clean ingredients that work best for your skin type.
• Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water supports overall skin health and helps flush out toxins from the body.
• Eat a Balanced Diet: A diet rich in whole foods, healthy fats, and antioxidants can support hormone health and improve your skin.
• Manage Your Stress: Stress can wreak havoc on your hormones. Incorporate stress-reducing practices like meditation, hypnosis, yin yoga, and adequate sleep into your daily routine. It's all connected!

Brit's Clean Beauty Routine
Here’s a peek inside a holistic hormone health practitioner's daily beauty routine, focusing on clean, non-toxic products that support hormonal health:

1. Think Sport Sunscreen: I love this sunscreen because it's EWG VERIFIED®, meaning that the product meets EWG’s strictest standards for health and safety. It avoids any of the ingredients on EWG’s “Unacceptable List” and provides full transparency of ingredients, including fragrance.
2. Kosas Eye Concealer: I love products that are actually great for your skin! This concealer has caffeine & pink algae which helps really brighten the under eye area. It also has hyaluronic acid, arnica and peptides which hydrate, soothe, and smoothes fine lines.
3. Thrive Cosmetics Mascara: TBH removing mascara has never been easier! Their innovative firm-hold tubing formula slides right off with warm water. It's formulated without parabens, phthalates, sulfates and synthetic fragrance. Dermatologist + ophthalmologist tested and approved! 
4. Puzzle Palette & Lip Glosses: This travel friendly palette is a life saver. I love having 100% vegan and cruelty free products, with shades that are professionally selected just for me. Take their quiz & get your results!
5. Henry Rose Perfume: "Fragrance" is often a catch-all term for thousands of underregulated and potentially harmful ingredients. Proprietary formulas sound romantic and intriguing, but the truth is, you have no idea what you're putting on your skin. Henry Rose enters the chat as the first fine fragrance line to earn the EWG VERIFIED™ mark.
6. Conscia Solid Shampoo: Zero-waste hair care! Conscia's nourishing products are formulated with the highest grade natural botanicals, butters and oils, aimed at restoring rather than stripping, to get to the root of healthy hair and scalp.
