Thanks for your question. Yes, there are many brands that are affordable as well as clean and safe. Weleda, Burts Bees, Pangea and Natural Being are a few brands that I like.

You can also pamper your skin with goodies from your own kitchen. Forget high-cost skin-care products that are full of chemicals anyway. Need extra moisture? Smash up a banana or an avocado, mix it with some yogurt, and wear it as a mask for 10-15 minutes.

Another way to save money and avoid chemicals in your home is to make your own non-toxic household cleaners. You’ll be amazed how much money you can save by making your own cleansers, and you’ll save your tender nasal passages and lungs from absorbing all those toxic chemicals typically present in over-the-counter cleansers. All you need is a little baking soda, washing soda, and vinegar. Check out my household cleaning recipes herehttp://cincovidas.com/make-your-own-non-toxic-household-cleaners/

And lastly, cutting back on the amount of products we use is a great idea. We don't need to use so many products. The average American uses 15 products a day - do we really need all those products? Can some of them be multitaskers?

Hope this is helpful and let me know how you do!
Thanks
