Responsible Skincare: Amala

I have enjoyed researching organic skin care for Earth Day, and learning more than I care to know about the harmful effects of the chemicals I've been using :(

Amala skincare came across my path recently and I am very impressed with its line of certified organic products. Formulated with only whole plant ingredients, sourced from fair trade farm partners across the world. There's absolutely zero artifice in this brand and packaging is designed with recycled materials and soy-based inks. Five percent of their net profits are also donated to farm partners.

There are four collections:
- Hydrate (with jasmine) - for dry skin
- Purify (with blue lotus) - for oily/acnegenic skin
- Rejuvenate (with cocoa bean) - for mature skin
- Detoxify (with myrtle) -

But I don't really follow rules and I mix and match different products from each collection.  Here is the

Beauty Snob Amala Routine: Scrub, Yogurt Mask, Collagen Mask- Instant firm and glowing skin.
 
Amala is available at Barney's New York here.

I love the hydrating Yogurt mask, it gives my skin moisture without making it feel heavy or greasy.  $58 at Barneys.
