Beauty Archives – The Repurposing Life

Here you can find helpful information for women (and men) about makeup, cosmetics, beauty and of course skin, hair and general body care.

If you’re thinking of switching to, have already switched to, or prefer to DIY more natural products, it’s a smart move. Human skin is highly permeable, and some experts believe our skin absorbs 60% of everything we put on it.

While natural products have ingredients sourced from nature, organic products have a stricter standard, only featuring ingredients derived without synthetic pesticides, petroleum fertilizers or genetically modified organisms.

If you’re looking to go organic or just want to learn more about what all the fuss is about, and even if you don’t DIY your own health and beauty products, you’ll still glean some pretty good advice on organic beauty.
