My 2020 Vision

My 2020 Vision is to make skincare less confusing, share info about product ingredients, what to use, why to use it, help introduce the New Avon products & share the Avon experience with those who would like to join me in this adventure.

I keep hearing about different ingredients that are good to use on your skin & ingredients to avoid and it all becomes so confusing. If I’m asking what this is all about then I know others are asking too. My goal is to keep this information simplified without all the scientific jargon. Let’s explore this together.

Skincare Buzz Words

Sulfate-free , Paraben-free, No Phthalates . What does it all mean & why are they in my products? For starters lets get some definitions here.

What are sulfates?

Sulfates are in chemicals that create lather to help remove oils & dirt and can be found in products like shampoos. Because they are a harsh chemical they may cause irritation to the scalp, skin & eyes with long term use. In rare cases, some people have a sensitivity to sulfates which may react as asthma.

What are parabens?

Parabens are a group of compounds which are effective as preservatives to prevent the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in cosmetics.
