When I started using anti-aging products in my 20s, before a single wrinkle had appeared, I did it all wrong. I purchased products for mature skin believing that the extra-strength would be extra-effective in preventing aging but instead I burned myself with retinoids and peels and caused break out after break out with deep moisturizing creams and night masks. At around age 30, I made a switch to natural skincare and my skin started improving. Now in my late thirties, I’ve found a routine that works and although my skin isn’t perfect, I never could have believed it would look this healthy at my age.
That’s me on the left at 27 and me on the right at age 37, earlier this year!
I organized all my favorite vegan skincare products in my Amazon Store if you’d like to check out the full list but I figured I’d share a more condensed list of the current products in my daily and weekly routine here. Included are cleansers, moisturizers and products that target signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging, puffiness and redness.
All of the items listed below are cruelty-free and made with vegan ingredients. I love them all and think you will too!

3. Rescue, Shelter & Sanctuary Support

We are neat freaks when it comes to our music studio and playroom. To prevent germs from lingering or spreading, we’re always cleaning throughout the day as children come and go.

From the Babyganics site:

The newest addition to our Playroom is Green Toys’ Pink Dump Truck. Like their other trucks that we featured a few weeks ago, this truck is made out of 100% recycled plastic milk containers and contains no BPA, phthalates, PVC, or external coatings! Also, Green Toys trucks are extremely durable and have withstood the wear and tear of over 2 years of playing in our Playroom!
The PlanToys Dancing Alligator is one of the most popular toys in our Playroom. Toddlers and preschoolers love to hold on to the string as they walk (or run!) and the alligator click-clacks with every step! The toy, first introduced in 1999, has won numerous toy awards and continues to be a staple in every eco-friendly playroom. Get yours for only $14.95 at www.amazon.com.
