BEST NATURAL SKIN CARE FAQS
What's the best natural thing for your skin?
The best natural skin care often depends on your skin type and concerns. However, some natural ingredients universally loved for their skin benefits include aloe vera, rosehip oil, jojoba oil, honey, vitamin C and chamomile – just to name a few. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids, these components tend to be gentler on the skin and suitable for all complexion types and textures.
What is the best skin care routine naturally?
A good natural skin care routine focuses on gentle, plant-based ingredients that nourish your skin without harsh chemicals. In this routine, you should include: a cleanser with chamomile, aloe vera, or calendula to remove dirt and impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils; a toner with rose water or green tea to balance your skin’s pH levels; a hydrating serum that fuses vitamin C with hyaluronic acid; a moisturiser to lock in hydration with its natural oils; and last but by no means least, a mineral-based sunscreen to shield skin from UV damage. Find out more on how to create your very own natural skin care routine with our guide.
How do I improve my skin naturally?
Improving your skin naturally is all about nurturing it with gentle care, good habits and nourishing ingredients. This includes everything from eating a balanced diet loaded with antioxidants (think berries, leafy greens, nuts), healthy fats (avocado, olive oil), and vitamins (A, C, E) to hydrating and getting quality beauty sleep.
So, what are you waiting for? Treat your skin (and the planet) to some natural goodness and watch your glow get brighter, greener and cleaner!
