Clean but not Green - First Aid Beauty

If you’re a long time reader of Beautiful Basics you already know how sensitive to smells I am. If you’re new all you need to know if that I am chronically ill and have the nose of a bloodhound. The majority of scents, natural or not, bother me a lot so I have to be really careful with fragrance. I have a joke that unscented is my signature scent. With that being said, a lot of natural products are not scented with added fragrance but do have a natural scent because of the ingredients. With my illnesses I am often unable to handle scent in products, especially in skin care.

For the first installment of the “Clean but not Green” series here on Beautiful Basics I want to tell you about First Aid Beauty and their Face Cleanser and Ultra Repair Cream. These are the only two skin care products I have been using for quite a while and I really, really love and appreciate them. My skin (and nose!) really crave this duo.  Oh, and they’re cruelty free, which is a must!

Both of these products score a 1 on EWG’s Skin Deep so I’m more than okay with using them on a daily basis. They’re both gentle and mild while still being hydrating and nurturing.

The cleanser is simple but works amazingly well both morning and evening. It leaves my skin feel clean but not stripped or lacking in moisture. It seems to balance my skin out and leaves my skin an even texture. It doesn’t cause any redness or irritation.

My dry skin drinks up the Ultra Repair Cream and I absolutely love the way it sinks into my skin and leaves my face, neck, and hands feeling throughout the day. I feel like this moisturizer was made for me! It doesn’t ever feel sticky or heavy or greasy. It also leaves my skin completely balanced.

My skin has never looked better! My skin has normalized using this pair and I don’t get any dry patches or breakouts (besides an occasional hormonal pimple). I really like this line. Not all of First Aid Beauty’s line is healthy but these two are safe and I adore them. Dare I say HOLY GRAIL? Yes, yes I will. These are my perfect products and I imagine I’ll continue using and loving them for years to come.

I also really like the Facial Radiance Pads but I only use them once in a while. My skin always glows after using them, though.

You can shop for their products on the First Aid Beauty website, Ulta, and Sephora.
