Is Your Skin Care Gluten-Free?If your clients have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, should you recommend that they use gluten-free skin care? Many of our skin care products are now formulated for this type of sensitivity. Learn why you might recommend to skip gluten across the board.Some skin care products include oils and extracts derived from grains that contain gluten, such as wheat, barley or rye. You may spot these sources of gluten on some of your skin care products’ ingredient lists: Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Secale Cereal (Rye) |
As the first step in your gluten-free skin care routine, use our Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser to remove impurities without overstripping your skin. The lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid) in this milky gel cleanser gently resurfaces the skin and refines pores. Antioxidant-rich mangosteen fights the visible aging effects of free radical damage for radiant and youthful looking skin.
Add additional exfoliation once or twice a week with our Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant. Simply add water to this powder exfoliant to transform it into a luxurious exfoliating paste. Rice powder absorbs excess oil while lactic and salicylic acids gently remove dead skin cells, revealing a smooth and polished complexion.
Keep your skin hydrated and conditioned with a gluten-free toner or facial mist. Eminence Organics fan Meredith K. loves our Stone Crop Hydrating Mist. She says in her five-star review:
“I mist this on my face after cleansing and before I apply my nighttime moisturizer or daytime sunscreen and LOVE it! I have pretty sensitive skin that gets easily irritated and itchy and this always calms, hydrates and smooths my skin. It is amazing how much better my skin looks and feels after misting this on! I can’t be without it!”
Indulge in a facial mask once or twice a week to boost your skin’s health. Our Firm Skin Acai Masque is gluten-free and packed with antioxidant-rich ingredients like acai, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry. This smoothie for your skin will firm and hydrate your complexion as well as reduce the visible signs of aging.
Serums, oils and concentrates can still be skin care saviors sans gluten. These potent formulas contain concentrated amounts of active ingredients to target concerns and enhance your skin’s overall health. Try a Biodynamic® facial oil like our Facial Recovery Oil to nourish the look of your skin with beneficial ingredients like clary sage oil, olive oil and sage leaf extract.
Keep your skin soft and supple with a daily SPF moisturizer. Our pick: Tropical Vanilla Day Cream SPF 32. This fragrant day cream pulls double duty to deeply moisturize the skin as well as protect it from harmful UVA and UVB radiation.
