How to Create a Natural Skincare Routine

How to Create a Natural Skincare Routine

It’s 2021, and beauty buffs around the world have realized that many skin care products commercially sold are packed full of toxins, chemicals, and artificial ingredients. While these products may offer temporary positive effects on the skin, they can also provide adverse long-term effects.

Want the good news? Today, there are plenty of organic, natural, and inexpensive skincare options that work wonders for the skin without all those nasty ingredients.

If you’re interested in building a natural skincare routine but you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to help. Keep reading.

Switch Slowly

First things first, be sure to switch to an organic skincare routine slowly. This gives your skin time to adjust and allows you to discover what works best for you.

Experimenting with masks and cleansers is an excellent place to start so you can experience and learn about a brand. Then, you can begin trying natural moisturizers and facial oils. The last step should be the more expensive items, like serums and eye creams.

It’s essential to start slowly. Otherwise, you won’t know which products are working for you and which aren’t.

Try using Revision’s black mask to start with. The purifying, intensive formula is naturally scented with cooling and invigorating peppermint, and the anti-inflammatory agents present work wonders in soothing and healing the skin. Say goodbye to excess sebum and other toxins, and hello to clean, clear, and refreshed skin.

Learn to Read Labels

If you didn’t read the labels of skincare products before, now’s the time. By scanning the labels of skincare items, you can learn how to avoid imposter products. These are the ones that claim to be ‘paraben free’, yet hide their parabens behind scents on the tag.

You should never take a product at face value, which is why it’s so important to read labels. There aren’t any regulations in the United States and most other places on using the terms ‘natural’ and ‘organic’, so it’s easy to get scammed without reading the label correctly.

A product may claim to be wholly natural and organic, but in reality, it’s neither. Dig deep and become familiar with quality skincare ingredients, so you know exactly what to avoid.

Choose brands that ensure all their formulas are natural and organic, free from dyes, parabens, and all synthetic compounds. Avoid ingredients with long and strange-sounding names, and don’t be shy to ask questions if you’re unsure.

Any organic company will gladly answer your questions if they’re proud of their products and have nothing to hide.

Choose Organic Brands

Of course, building an organic skincare routine is impossible without choosing natural and ethical brands. Choose products that are not only good for your skin but are great for the planet too.

Natural and organic skincare formulas combine ingredients like essential vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that heal and restore the skin without harming you or the earth.

Good skincare contains only the best that mother nature offers. Some of the greatest brands provide a balance between all-natural ingredients and skincare science, using impressive concentrations of the most potent plant extracts the earth has to offer. These are the active botanicals and minerals that are teaming with skin-loving antioxidants.

One natural brand that we love is Tuel Skincare, offering organic skincare formulas designed for all genders, skin types, and ethnicities.

We’re a big fan of Tuel’s Make Amends Healing Moisture cream. Formulated with cajeput, tea tea, mushroom stem, and rice brain, the calming cream helps you clear both your mind and complexion. The cream is excellent at repairing irritated skin, improving the overall appearance of the complexion.

Give the Products Time to Work

You may not notice any huge changes at first. In fact, your skin may even get worse before it gets better but try not to panic. This is called purging, and we promise, it won’t last forever!

The same way your body experiences a detox period when you cut out unhealthy and processed foods from your diet, your skin goes through a purging process. The toxins and chemicals absorbed in your skin slowly make their way to the surface, but they may emerge as breakouts, redness, or even dry and flaky skin.

But once the toxins are out of your body, your new natural skincare will treat your pores to powerful antioxidants, and the magic will begin.

While it may seem hard, the patience will be worth it. Give your skin at least two to four weeks to purge and clean itself out.
