Crunchi
Stop compromising your health for your beauty, and your beauty for your health: You deserve high-performance products without toxic ingredients.
Meet Crunchi: the skincare that has transformed my once-unenviable skin (along with some pretty amazing makeup, too). Packed with high-performance ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamin Cā¦ and with ZERO carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, or toxins.
Whether youāre looking to ditch the Botox once and for all (say goodbye to the crowās feet and hello to our Goldenlight multi-peptide serum), or for a perfect red lip for the holidays (Sienna Red lip crayon and gloss duo will be your new bestie), Iād be thrilled to help you select the clean, safe beauty that will keep you glowing from Thanksgiving well through the new year.
My #1 Crunchi pick is theĀ I Am Polished exfoliator. It is the perfect gift or stocking stuffer for your mom, sister, aunt, and teachers, because it works beautifully with all skin types and you see instant results after just one use. I can picture it paired with a cute spa headband and a candle or some tea for a gorgeous at-home spa gift. It's like a 5-minute hydro facial and peel from homeāresurfacing your skin without any harsh chemicals.Ā
Email me for free samples, or to help create a bio-individualized routine customized for your skin. (P.S.āA skincare consultation with me is 100% complimentary, with zero obligation to buy.)
