New Cosmetics, Skin and Hair products
A while back I posted about stopping our ads by google because we were seeing lots of ads for products we don’t endorse. It would have been a revenue stream that would have helped us, but we just couldn’t do it knowing some people would click on ads for products that don’t fit this lifestyle.
As many of you know, what we put on our skin is as important as what we put in our mouths. Everything gets absorbed through our skin and ends up in our bloodstream. A great example of this was a recent client. She had elevated liver enzymes. By just ditching the make-up products she was using which were full of chemicals, her liver enzymes went back to normal!
Many of you have asked me what are good cosmetics and skin/hair products to use that don’t have any harsh chemicals in them. I have always lead clients to the cosmetics database (Located HERE) for ratings of products. The lower the number the less chemicals and harmful agents in the products. Ideal rating is 0 with a green range of 0-2. I am happy to introduce the Beautycounter products to my page. All their products are free of over 1,500 Chemicals. Every single product is rated 0-2 (Green) on the cosmetics database. I would use any of these products for my family so I don’t hesitate recommending them for all of you. Click HERE to see them all.
I have added a menu item above on my page (Called “Skin and Cosmetics Store”) and a photo with link on the right column for easy access. This is a great way for you to get products you can trust to be good for your health and keto lifestyle while supporting our site. Everything you purchase will be the same price to you, we get just a small percentage from Beautrycounter.

Testimonies of the Day
“These are lovely products. I ordered the skin tint and also one of the eye shadow combos. Very quick delivery and the skin tint is one of the best products I’ve ever tried. It takes very little product to even out skin tone using a foundation brush. I wore it for about 10 hours and no makeup creases developed around my eyes or my mouth and the color did not oxidize on my skin. It feels like I’m not wearing makeup. The eye shadow also lasted and colors stayed true. Thanks for your recommendation.” – Sue
Lipstick Testimony: “Hi Maria, I ordered a lipstick and received it yesterday. I am somewhat of a lipstick connoisseur… lol. I always say all you need is a pair of sunglasses, a tube of lipstick and a hat and you can go around the world. I LOVE the lipstick I purchased!!
Great color, feels natural on your lips, stays on and doesn’t bleed. I ordered scarlet. I will try some of the other products, as needed, in the future and will definitely order another lipstick. Thanks!” – JE
So funny! Just discovered this brand yesterday. They have some beautiful makeup colors. Looking forward to trying their skincare products too!
Thanks for the support! 🙂
I just ordered a couple products of theirs yesterday. I am looking forward to trying them!!
Thanks!
I looooooove these products! Seriously addicted to their face oil, Countertime Collection and their makeup! It’s so nice to find a line that is safe and effective! I was using high end products (obagi, skin medica, image, Mac, Nars) and I don’t feel like I had to compromise anything switching to a safe toxic free line!
Thank you!
Funny–I’ve discovered I have no need of such things since I started eating keto. Coconut oil softens my skin, drinking water hydrates the whole of me, and since I’m taking in less impurities, I no longer need to scrub them away. My skin glows on its own, and if nobody like the way I look sans makeup, they don’t have to look at me.
I guess I’m the oddball here (as usual).
Exactly! Good for you! Plus no one believes I’m 64 (and they’re not trying to charm me!) Never felt better and haven’t looked this good since my 40s!
They have great makeup and shampoo, etc too. 🙂
That’s exactly how I feel! I go without makeup except for a little undereye coverup! I do have a question…do you put coconut oil on your face? What does anyone use for a facial moisturizer?
What are some common ingredients in skincare you wouldn’t endorse in?
Just go to the cosmetics database I link to above and you can check any product. 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been looking for some healthy alternatives to department store cosmetics. My skin is definitely improving since I’ve been using coconut oil and changed over to a keto adapted diet.
Thanks for your support! 🙂
Yes, the keto diet cleans up the skin and adds a glow year-round! The only cream I’ve used before and during my keto diet is Skin of Gold face cream – to make sure the collagen stays thick. I first used it to get rid of sun damage on my nose, now it’s part of my routine.
You should check out Pacifica products if you don’t already know about them. They are all natural, using coconut products (oil, water) and various other natural ingredients in their skin care, makeup and frangrances. Its an awesome company that I’ve been devoted to for several years now.
Some of their products are 4’s and 5’s on the toxicity list. I prefer Beautycounter as they are all 0-2 (green). 🙂

Maria— this is AWESOME!…the site is beautiful and so helpful: I know it will be my “go-to” site to purchase quality & safe products for my family & I to use based on your trustworthy recommendations. Thanks for putting it together.
BTW, do you have another cookbooks in the works?
P.S. Happy New Year btw!…
Awe, thank you so much MJ! Yes, I have an amazing cookbook coming out (my first with a major publisher) in July. 🙂
http://www.amazon.com/Ketogenic-Cookbook-Nutritious-Low-Carb-High-Fat/dp/1628600780
Great news but July is too far away!!!..
I know! Publishers take time, but it will be an amazing book! 🙂
Ooo! Just pre-ordered the cookbook! Your recipes are just so so good. I’m converting my husband bit by delicious bit. Your recipes are what have me committed to the ketogenic lifestyle for sure. Soooo sustainable when you have so many choices! Thanks for all the hard work you’ve put into this and all your cookbooks. I have them all 🙂
Thank you!
… Just wish you’d hold a cooking class for some of the stuff like the filled chocolates and the caramel sauce. they’ve been tricky for me. But even my mistakes are tasty!
I’m disappointed , these products are not available in Canada!
Sorry, I wish I could help you with that. 🙁
I’m excited!
I have been using their products for a couple months and looooooooove them!
Awesome! 🙂
These look lovely. Will they ship to Canada too? As in will they ship and will shipping not be cost prohibitive? Some things are ridiculous to get shipped up here. Thanks

Maria, could you please tell me the name of and where to get the firming face cream you have recommended in the past? Thank you!
It is the face oil under “Skin Care” “Oils”. 🙂

What do you think of NYR Organic? Does Beauty Counter have a good foundation you would recommend?
NYR looks like an OK option. They do have some ingredients with a 3 on cosmetics database (beautycounter has everything at 2 or less in the green). The beautycounter tint skin foundation is great (and they have a 30 day money back guarantee)!

Great thanks:)
I have a new tattoo but don’t want to use regular products for the healing – would a thin layer of coconut oil work?
That should work. 🙂
I am not sure what to order? lol either Tint Skin Foundation or Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer? for my coverage? I don’t like to look dry. Which should I try?
