Gluten Free Skincare

When I was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I spent a lot of time on message boards reading about the gluten free diet. One thing I noticed was that a lot of people were looking for gluten free shampoo and beauty products. For quite awhile I thought this was completely ridiculous. It's not like I was planning on guzzling down shampoo and conditioner during my morning shower. I understood the need for gluten free lip balm, but body lotion and make up too? 

I had a few shampoos with hydrolyzed wheat protein in them and didn't want to waste them. Every now and then my face would break out in a rash. I thought it was just a sensitivity to the face cream I was using. This past November it got so bad I actually stopped wearing make up in attempts to get my face to heal. I would have perfectly clear skin one moment and then a major rash the next. I was about to give up when my coworker told me about Gluten Free Savonnerie and how nice it made her skin feel. They have inexpensive sample sizes so I ordered a few and have been hooked ever since. My skin has never looked this good. It took a few weeks for me to get used to it, but I've completely stopped wearing make up, with exception to mascara and the occasional swipe of blush. I think it makes me look younger and healthier and I couldn't be happier with how my skin feels.

Gluten Free Savonnerie Shampoo & Conditioner

Gluten Free Savonnerie Premium Bar Soap

I use the premium bar soap with shea butter and the moisturizing lotion on my face. On days where my skin is extra dry I swipe some of the shea butter on my cheeks before rubbing the lotion in and it leaves my skin super soft and happy. It's summer now so that also means sunblock! I haven't found the perfect solution for that quite yet. The Eucerin Everyday Protection for sensitive skin seems to be doing the trick, but can sometimes make my skin a little greasy. However, out of all the face sunblocks I've used, it's the smoothest to put on. Some sunblocks make me feel like I'm putting spackle or craft glue on my face. 

Eucerin Everyday Protection SPF 30

Gluten Free Savonnerie also carries shampoo and conditioner as well as body powder, lip balm, massage oil, liquid hand soap and other bath/ beauty products that are allergen and fragrance free. I've tried the shampoo and conditioner and they made my colored treated hair soft, smooth and shiny. If you're looking for a gentle allergen free product for your skin or hair, I would definitely recommend trying out their travel sizes. That way you can see if you like it first before committing to a whole bottle/ container.
