At Thyrst Beauty, we pride ourselves on our clean ingredients list and transparency with our customers. Our formulas were created with a lengthy red list in mind and we wanted to make sure that our ingredients are both good for you and DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO. Getting clean [or in other words removing products that give off any toxins or chemicals] is a process and no matter where you are on your journey, there is no time like the present to start learning where you can make smart, easy changes. The health implications affiliated with toxic...
Since the 1800s, mothers have been telling their daughters to get their beauty sleep. The dictionary defines this phrase, which has worked its way into our vernacular, as “sleep before midnight, assumed to be necessary for one’s beauty.” Why has sleep long been assumed “necessary for one’s beauty,”and why does no one tell men to get it? The latter question begs a separate conversation, but what we know for certain is that all humans look better with sleep. Getting enough shut-eye brightens our complexions and helps us to maintain a healthy weight. But how? What actually goes on inside our...
It seems counterintuitive to put oil on your face. You learn when you’re young and your face breaks out for the first time that oil is not a good thing. You learn to blot it with absorbent wipes and cover it with makeup. You look for products that will dry out your skin. Think about the Clean& Clear commercials; we were always told that where oil is, there too are breakouts. But as you age and your body changes, so do the products you need. Acne-prone teenagers may not need extra oil, but after yearsof damage and sun, your skin...
You hear a lot about the glow that pregnant women exude, the radiance that overcomes them, how carrying another human makes a person beautiful and youthful and fresh. What you don’t hear about are other realities such as melasma, a hormone-related skin condition that appears as dark, blotchy patches, most often on the face, and most often in pregnant women. The condition has earned the nickname “pregnancy mask”; the National Institutes of Health once estimated that up to 70% of expecting women will develop it. What basically happens in people with melasma is the melanocytes — the cells that make...
It’s true that no matter how much money you have, or how many homes, or how many kids, or how many friends, if you don’t learn how to love yourself, you probably won’t be happy. You can take all the supplements you see advertised on Instagram or go to all the workout classes at your gym, but are you doing these things so you can look good, or because you want to give your body the good health it deserves? Are you doing them because you want to please other people and your ego, or because you truly love yourself?...
If you’re browsing Thyrst’s products, you’ve likely done a little research into the toxic chemicals other, less conscious skincare products contain. You probably know that some of what our regulators allow to be sold in stores isn’t good for us, whether it’s skincare products or deodorant or shampoo. This is particularly true in the United States, where just 11 ingredients are banned from being used in cosmetics, compared to the more than 1,000 listed as illegal in the European Union. As conscious consumers, it’s our responsibility to choose products that won’t harm our bodies. Just as we have to make...
