Natural Skincare: How to Shop Products That Are Kinder to Your Skin and the Planet

· Health and Beauty

How would you describe your skin? If you're like me perhaps it's oily and the wrong lotions clog your pours to no end. Or, perhaps you have dry skin that in the harsh winters you hate to let the air touch it. This is why skin care is not one size fits all. We first have to know our skin type and then what we need. Natural skin care is surely making its way into everyday life as more people see the benefits of caring for their skin and the planet. Here are some must-have items in your new skin regimen to add.

Why Choose Natural Skin Care Products?

There are so many benefits to not only yourself but to the planet by choosing responsible products. For example, many can be used with refill skincare bottles. These are often too biodegradable, making them double the punch of eco-friendly. Refill skin bottles allow you to never have to sample again and again new products and add to so much waste we have. Never do you have to run out of your favourite products again.

But that brings up an important fact. When choosing our next skin care products we need the best of the best so we can refill skin care for years to come. This is why I encourage you to yo again, try natural skin care. Many natural skin care products are vegan and toxic-free.

Lets think, you wouldn't put chemicals into your body so why put them on your body? The more we are aware the better decisions we make for yourselves. Let's dive into the must-try beginner natural products. I am confident you will gain much love for yourself and others as you embark on this new journey of skin care.

Pre- Cleaning Oil

Pre cleaning oil

The best way to maintain an acne-free face is with proper cleaning. Especially if you wear makeup is this important to get all of those things that have sat on your face all day off your skin? This comes in a refilled skin care bottle that is ideal for not throwing out mountains of plastic that harm our wonderful earth.

Benefits

This type of cleaner takes away makeup, dirt, and sunscreen so your pores no longer scream. Even for those who have dry or sensitive skin, this can help to calm any irritations. Your stubborn waterproof mascara has no match for a pre-cleansing oil. This will allow you to not worry about it staying caked on for the next day.

In addition, as we transition our lives over to natural makeup we will see the many good ingredients we can name. Some of these as antioxidants, omegas & vitamins A, D & E. Those are vitamins we can name and get with. It's great you can find one antibacterial but yet it's still gentle enough to use on the eye area to remove stubborn eye makeup like waterproof mascara. No more eyes stings are a game changer.

How to use

Since oil is the best to penetrate the skin you don't need to be aggressive when applying. We never want to be overly aggressive on our skin as this can cause so much

First, put 1 pump onto wet fingers & gently massage over the entire face to dissolve makeup, dirt & grime. Then remove with a warm facial cloth allow your pores to open and take effect with your new natural cleanser. Then you need to apply a gel cleaner to clean deeper as your face is now warm so it will happily accept the cleaning.

Daily Vitamin C Cleanser

Vitamin C

Here's something we know about, vitamin c. This is power packed with antioxidants our skin so desperately needs. This is a great cleanser for all skin types because it doesn't dry you out.

Benefits

 

A daily vitamin C cleanser helps you to have that sun-kissed glow without the harmful rays of the sun. It gently removes impurities from sensitive facial skin without stripping the skin's natural lipid barrier.

Let's look at some of its ingredients. Some of which are organic chamomile and calendula, and chamomile. No, I am not talking about tea. How great it is to have natural ingredients you know and eat yourself now to put on your skin.

The ingredients listed are anti-fungal, and antibacterial, and have unique healing properties to reduce inflammation from dry, damaged skin. Your face will soon sing your praises for how well you treat it.

How to use

As much as we like to pour on the good stuff when it comes to cleansers less goes a long way. First, apply 1 pump of the vitamin C cleaner to an already damp face as this can follow your pre-cleanser routine. Then, simply remove the cleaner with a rag.

Just keep in mind my dear friend to not expose your face to too much sunlight with these cleaners. Be sure to always apply sunscreen to keep your skin healthy and fresh.

Hydration + Skin Primer

Applying primer

If you like me may have not known about the crucial step of moisturiser as we got much older. Thankfully we have an infinite amount of naturally made moisturizers available now. While you have your nice clean skin stripped of all that guck the last thing you need is a face that feels like its drying out in the Sahara sun.

Benefits

Especially if you are a makeup wearer the base of our skin is crucial to avoid any clogging of our pores. Hydration and skin primer is made from marshmallow root extract which gives you instant hydration. This power pack of vitamins contains vitamins A, D, and E. This is a perfect combination to heal sun damage and scares.

How to Use

 

After you have done steps one and two in cleansing it's time for a final step. Depending on your skin needs you can always move to a night cream or an eye serum but for the most part, three steps are going to make a huge different.

After you use a face mist such as rose water apply 1-2 pumps of Hydration+ Skin Primer Moisturiser over the face, neck and decolletage. This complete coverage will your most sensitive areas are protected and look young.

Is Porcelain Skin Possible?
