Skin Care for my Tween, Good for you Girls!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

h_logoI was so happy to find skin care products that are aimed at young girls.  Morgan has had some issues with breaking out lately and we have tried several different natural routes.  I didn’t want to buy her chemical based products for her young skin.  Good for you Girls is natural skincare without toxic chemicals!

It arrives in this cute packaging I have pictured above.  Morgan got excited just seeing the packaging!  The bottles are cute too, very girlie! Better yetboxes are printed on recyclable material with safe, water-based inks. The bottles are also recyclable.

Good For You Girls skin care products are made with 100% Natural and Organic ingredients specifically formulated for the unique needs of young girls skin.  Some of the ingredients used are listed below:

  • Organic arnica extract – Chosen for its anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Organic lavender extract – Chosen for its antibacterial properties; it tones and revitalizes skin, and is well-known for its soothing, calming aromatherapy effect.
  • Organic chamomile extract – Chosen for its anti-inflammatory properties; it is very calming to the skin.
  • Organic calendula extract – Chosen for its anitmicrobial skin healing properties; it is also used as a humectant.
  • White/Green tea extracts – Chosen for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; they reduce free radical damage, and are healing to the skin.

I love the all natural ingredients of the products. It makes me feel safer letting my daughter use it. The kit we received is called the Complete Skincare Kit and had Gel Cleanser, Refreshing Toner and Oil-Free Moisturizer.  She loves the scent of the Cleanser and said the Toner was awesome because it did not make her skin burn at all.  The whole kit sells for only $24.99.

I’m happy to be able to have a company like this that I can feel safe buying their products for my children.  These are the types of companies I like to support and I hope you go check them out.

I was sent a sample from Good for you Girls to review with my daughter.  No other compensation was received.
