Cheaper option to combo cleaner4/30/2023 ![]() ![]() If sticking to a one-step cleanser is your goal, I’d recommend the Marie Veronique Replenishing Oil Cleanser ($40). This is a pretty unique product because it’s hard to find a lightweight cleansing oil if you’re someone who prefers a one-step oil cleansing method. Natural Alternatives to Beautycounter’s Countertime Collection: Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil ($49) –> Marie Veronique Replenishing Oil Cleanser ($40) ![]() Alright, let’s chat about specific products and alternatives. I’m a skincare addict and even I won’t spend that much. Guys, I’m all for spending money on your skincare, but almost $300 for 5 products is INSANE. Products range from $49-$89 and includes a 4-step process for maximum benefits with AM + PM options ($297 for the set). According to their press release, it is “a six-product collection designed to visibly firm, brighten and plump the skin, formulated with a plant-derived Retinatural Complex™”. It’s big claim-to-fame is the use of Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol. In July 2019, Beautycounter released an anti-aging collection called Countertime. Alright, let’s chat Countertime… What is Beautycounter’s Countertime Collection? Yes – it requires more work but trust me when I say that it is worth it. We don’t typically buy our conventional skincare, makeup, haircare and everything else from the same company – why should clean beauty play by a different set of rules? That’s why I write these posts. It’s much harder to transition to clean beauty because of all of the options out there which is why companies like Beautycounter have become so successful, offering everything all in one but I encourage you to have an open mind to other brands out there. I know it’s easier to just buy all your products from one brand or direct from a friend but trust me when I say that there are better products out there! Don’t get me wrong, companies like Beautycounter are better than conventional beauty BUT they aren’t everything. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: There are other clean beauty brands out there besides Beautycounter…or Arbonne or whatever MLM that old girlfriend from college seems to claim is the only option. As much as I wish the Beautycounter trend would just be put to rest, it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere so until then I will continue to offer cleaner, better, and usually more affordable options. So far we’ve covered natural alternatives to Beautycounter products (this was pre-Countertime release) and Clean Beauty Glossier products. This seems to be a favorite of yours (thank you to everyone who voted in the THM Tribe!) so I’m happy to oblige. ![]() I’m baaaaack with another natural alternatives post for y’all. ![]()
