It was after battling a life threatening brain tumor in 2009 that Indie decided to bring a certain glamour to going green with her chic and eco-friendly namesake line. Many friends of mine swear by this line as Indie Lee's ingredients are natural, luxurious and nourishing. I have a dear friend that swears her Rosacea cleared up by using Indie's Squalene Facial Oil! We all understand that every person reacts differently to products, yet I have only heard positive things over the years about the brand. I like Indie as well as she and I have worked with each other in the past on a charitable level.

I have known Indie Lee for years and am over the moon to see her rising success in our field of beauty and skincare! I urge you to look closely at her products, ingredients and personal story as she is one to be watched, for certain!
Dry oils (like jojoba and avocado) cleanse the skin just as easily as their conventional counterparts, with all of the same antibacterial properties that get the job done.
Plus, they’re better at removing oil-based products like sunscreen. Like attracts like, so the oil cleanser will attract (and extract) the sunscreen particles from your pores. Which is important because sunscreen isn’t always easy to remove, with new studies saying it can stick to your skin for several days post application. And most sunscreens are full of toxic chemicals that you don’t want living on your skin for that long.
Here’s an easy DIY recipe from Beauty Expert Indie Lee to try if you’re looking to dip your toes into the oil cleanser pond:
