A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was going for a facial. \u00a0It was a big deal for me because I don’t often treat myself to things like that. \u00a0So, the fact that I scheduled it ahead of time AND made time for it on a weekend made it quite the event. \u00a0But the truth is that it was necessary. \u00a0More than necessary. \u00a0Baby Frank has done a real number on my skin and I needed some professional help.<\/p>\n
After an hour of pure bliss, I left looking human again. \u00a0My skin was the happiest it’s been in ages. \u00a0Seriously. \u00a0I was shocked by the improvement and felt like an adult again rather than a 14 year old with puberty-related acne.<\/p>\n
The best part for me was that my esthetician used only organic products and ones she felt would be safe for me and FtB. \u00a0It hadn’t occurred to me that there might be some essential oils\/ingredients might harm the baby. \u00a0But apparently, there are some things you should be avoiding while pregnant. \u00a0I was very touched that Charmaine took the time to do the research before I arrived.<\/p>\n
But I shouldn’t have been surprised. \u00a0Charmaine Leah is an organic esthetician, activist for safe cosmetics, and host of the popular video beauty blog glamology.com. \u00a0She\u00a0has been my go-to girl for 8 years and she’s always had a passion for safe, organic and non-toxic products. \u00a0So much so that she recently opened her own store.<\/p>\n
