FAQs

Q: I love to use organic skin care treatments, but I simply can’t afford to splurge like I use to. I’ve considered making my own – are DIY treatments just as good as store-bought?

A: Absolutely. Plus, you have the benefit of knowing exactly what’s in them. Here are great resources to get started: 8 DIY Spa Treatments for Sensitive Skin and Budget-Friendly Fall Beauty: Autumn's 10 Affordable DIY Recipes. Simply use organic ingredients whenever possible. To make the effort more cost-effective, see if some friends want to get together on buying supplies and making the batches. Or, make extras that you can give away as holiday gifts.

Q: My skin has been especially dry this winter and feels driest and tightest just after the shower. I lather on body lotion, but perhaps the culprit is my bar soap. Should I use something else?

A: Bar soap can have drying effects, stripping away the natural oils your skin needs to maintain healthy moisture levels. Swap the bar soap with a cream body cleanser formulated with hydrating ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E.

Q: I’m looking for an eco-friendly line of hair care products but struggling to find one that’s both effective and moderately priced. Any suggestions?

A: Alterna offers a full line of high-quality hair care products for both men and women. The company has a strong commitment to social and ecological sustainability, using organic, natural and fair trade ingredients whenever possible. Prices are similar to other salon-grade products, but the top-shelf quality of ingredients and commitment to the planet makes this brand a bargain.

Q: I don’t use costume makeup because it has given me allergic reactions in the past; do I have to worry about this if I’m using regular cosmetics?

A: Halloween is not a good time to risk an allergic reaction. If you’re trying out a brand-new product, it’s a good idea to test the product about 24 hours ahead of time on a small area of your skin (such as behind your ear) before applying to your whole face.
