It's by now well known that one can be both chic and eco-friendly, and that there's no need to choose between being nice to the planet and looking fabulous. That's why for Earth Day we asked our friend Greta Eagan, of GretaGuide, to recommend some essentials with her eagle eye for all things simultaneously stylish and sustainable.
Think of Earth Day like New Year's, as a day to focus your best intentions on protecting our planet. The good news is that to have an impact you don't need to subsist on brown rice or start an environmental foundation. All you need is to be a well-educated consumer, and source your purchases from eco-conscious brands. As someone who has been on the 'green scene' for some time, I've chosen products (enter ideeli’s Giveaway to win them all) that will keep you looking fabulous all year round:
Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel- This product— an all-natural formula with natural stabilizers—is so organic you could eat it! For a truly effective treatment to even out skin tone and promote cell renewal, the Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel is the best.
