Hey there, powerhouse real estate sisters! As a busy real estate agent or broker, your day is packed—from back-to-back showings to client calls and late-night paperwork.
You thrive on looking polished and professional. Ladies, by now you’ve more than likely heard of clean skincare, and if not then stick around.
Over 80% of consumers prioritize ingredient safety, and 35% reported skin irritation from conventional cosmetics, prompting a switch to clean alternatives.
Clean skincare refers to products made from ingredients that aren’t supposed to cause you harm when used, in the short term or long term.
It usually includes terms like natural skincare and can sometimes be described as vegan, if ingredients that were used in the formulation of a product do not derive from animals.
A product we recommend you try that’s versatile is Urban Hydration’s Aloe Face Moisturizer.
Benefits of using clean skincare
There are several reasons why, personally, we prefer to use clean beauty products, such as healthier skin due to the exclusion of toxins, more sustainable (better for the environment) and safer as they are not tested on animals.
Clean skincare can help lessen breakouts and irritated skin, no matter your skin type. Some ingredients that are avoided in clean beauty include parabens, silicones, phthalates, sulfates, and dyes. Learn more about toxic ingredients and their effect on human health here.
Products that are clean stay away from harmful chemicals that can dehydrate the skin which can cause dry patches and dull skin.
In addition to being healthier, some clean skincare brands have taken it a step further by taking a stance against animal cruelty when testing products. They often label their products cruelty-free.
The market for these products includes brands like Urban Hydration, Bliss, Good Molecules amongst many others.
Many clean skincare brands have transparent ingredient labels for the consumer to take in.
It is not in any brand’s best interest to lie in their formulations, as this can prove to be detrimental to the brand’s image and reputation. An example is in the case of L’oreal which received a lawsuit for false advertising.
Boost Self‑Worth Through Intentional Skincare & Reflection
Try this:
During your AM or PM skincare routine, reflect on a verse like 1 Peter 3:3‑4 “Your inner self is of great worth in God’s eyes.”
This is the part of you that isn’t displayed at work. Outside of your skills and profession, you are enough. Even at work, when your performance isn’t the best, you are enough. Even if sometimes you feel you aren’t enough, God cares about those feelings and He wants to help.
Pray a verse like Psalm 139:14 (NIV)
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made”
This verse is about self-acceptance. It reminds us that we are intentionally and marvelously made by God.
Even during those seasons when your skin is breaking out and you’re not particularly happy about your appearance. As Pastor David points out “our complexity and uniqueness are a testament to His perfect design.” (Bible Repository, 2025)
As you cleanse or moisturize, affirm your purpose: “I am created for a higher calling.” Let each clean skincare moment become a reset, nourishing your skin and your spirit.
Tell yourself daily, that you are valuable, deserving of love, respect, and happiness, regardless of your accomplishments, failures, appearance, or the opinions of others.
You’re not just preparing for a client meeting. You’re grounding your heart and skin in purpose before stepping into your high-impact day.
Final thoughts
Now you have the choice of using something on your skin, the largest organ of the body, that’s healthier, safer and provides results, versus using a product that might work in the short term but in the long run, makes you unwell. I would assume you would go for the first option.
So make the switch. Treat yourself to Urban Hydration’s Aloe Face Moisturizer. While it heals your skin, let Scripture heal your soul. You’re worth every drop of care—inside and out.
