Good For You Girls

For 2009, one of my top priorities is to take better care of myself, inside and out, from head to toe. Among other things, this means taking better care of my skin. I’ve been fortunate to try out some wonderful natural and organic skin care products, and I am happy to share with you my latest and greatest find—Good For You Girls.

According to the website, the Good For You Girls Complete Skin Care Kit, which includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, “has everything you need to put your best face forward. Our simple, three-step process of cleansing, toning and moisturizing will effectively clean skin of impurities, balance pH, and help to protect from the elements leaving only clean, luminous, naturally beautiful skin. These three products are designed to compliment each other and work together harmoniously.”

There are so many things I love about Good For You Girls.

The packaging is not only pretty, but it’s also environmentally friendly. Its printed on recycled material with water-based inks, and the bottles are recyclable too.

I was also pleased that not only did the products smell good—a nice, light, citrusy scent, but the fragrance wasn’t overwhelming. For me, when a product’s fragrance is really strong it can be a turn off.

My skin care regimen began with the cleanser. A little goes a long way—just a small amount works up a nice lather on your face. Next I used the toner. It’s alcohol-free and was very gentle on my skin. It didn’t sting or irritate my skin at all. I finished up with the moisturizer, which is oil-free. I liked how it was light and creamy, and not heavy like how some other moisturizers are.

After using the Good For You Girls products my skin has been feeling soft and smooth, fresh and clean. Not only do the products work, but they are safe for your skin. I’m learning so much, thanks to great companies such as Good For You Girls, about ingredients you should avoid, and Good For You Girls’ products don’t contain any of those bad-for-you ingredients, such as sulfates and parabens.

Even though I’m technically not a “girl,” Good For You Girls’ products worked great on my skin, so I guess you could say they are also “Wonderful For You Women!”

I think it is great that they use green packaging and 100% natural aromatics, but what I REALLY appreciate is no animal testing. :) You cannot get better than that.

Thanks!!!

No questionable ingredients and toxic chemicals works for me. I always read labels & then cringe at the long list of chemicals; you know, diethylmethyltrioxy whatever!

I am a citrus lover, so the natural citrus oils for fragrance really appeals to me!

All green packaging and their bottles are recyclable; cruelty-free; 100% Vegan; no dyes, no Genetically Modified Organisms, no sulfates, Paraben-free, 100% natural aromatics - what's not to love about their skin care products? But what I really liked most was their statement: "True beauty comes from within. Respect yourself and take time to see the beauty in others." I love this company!

Liberal I am. Bona fide I be. said...

The philosophy that I favor is "it is our responsibility to educate our children to the dangers of chemicals in the world and in the products they use. At Good For You Girls, we are committed to making truly effective skincare without harmful or questionable ingredients."

When I pick up a product, I love to be able to understand what ingredient is put inside it. Therefore,I know what is going onto my skin and down into my body! Kids should be aware as well so they can practice good cleansing rituals as well.

vboackle said...

love it is organic.

Jennae said...

There is so much to love about their products, but I am really happy about the fact that their fragrances are from 100% Natural Aromatics that come from essential oils. So many products that claim to be green have the ambiguous ingredient "fragrance", which often is simply covering up the fact that said fragrance is full of chemicals. I love that I won't have to worry about that with these products. Email: jennae {at} greenyourdecor {dot} com
