As we celebrate Earth Day this month, there are many small
changes you can make to become more eco-friendly. One way is to change up your beauty routine
by using some Earth-friendly skin treatments and products. Greenville
Dermatology carries a wide selection of products that are
proven to protect and rejuvenate your skin, ranging from makeup to sunscreen.
Dr. Miller carefully hand-selects each product available at his practice to
ensure the best quality and safety for his patients, and many are eco-friendly
as well as beneficial to your skin.
The Huffington Post published an interesting article that
lists organic
and eco-friendly beauty products and suggests that eco-conscious consumers
use the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep cosmetics database. This helpful database gives you access to online
safety profiles for cosmetics and personal care products and catalogs 70,000
products ranked into three hazard
ratings (low, moderate, or high concern) based on each product’s ingredients.
If you are curious about how your skin care products rank, take a look at the
database for your health as well as the environment.
Many of Greenville Dermatology’s skin care products can be
found in this database. NEOCUTIS®, VIVITE®, Anthelios, and Institut™ DERMed all
have products listed in the low and moderate hazard category for skin.
If you have any questions or are interested in using more eco-friendly
products, we are open to suggestions for cosmetic dermatology products. Call
Greenville Dermatology at 864-242-5872 to schedule
an appointment today.
