Not only is it important to where sustainable clothes on your body, but also equally as important to use sustainable clean beauty products because choosing to use clean skin care and makeup is not only good for you but also good for the planet!
Skin care is something that I am passionate about. So naturally (no pun intended) I found it essential to transition to all clean skin care products!The FDA doesn’t have to approve skin care products before they hit the shelves so its crucial for us consumers to pay attention to what we are using on our bodies!Now-adays its much easier to find all clean skin care that is because of the internet and helpful labels that are on clean skin care that tells you why its clean!
Today I am going to take you through my skin care routine of clean products I like to use daily! It is important to stay consistent with your skincare routine to start seeing results and to help deter the aging process. Aging is inevitable but with help from the right products made with good for you and good for the planet ingredients it can help one to age beautifully and prevent deep wrinkles and age spots.
Fresh Start! Fresh Skin! Fresh You!
In order to start your day off right in making choices that are better for the environment its important to start off with clean skin care! I personally have a 6 step morning routine! That might be a bit excessive to some but I will take you through it and you can pick and choose what you would like to incorporate in your everyday routine! Now, it’s important to always read labels and check ingredients when buying clean beauty products. Check for labels that say Organic, non GMO and not tested on animals. Then check the ingredient label and make sure the brands are truthful with their claims. If in doubt do a quick google search of the product you have in mind and you will find out the right information you are looking for.
1. It’s always best to start with a clean slate and wash your face to get off the sweat and oil that accumulates from sleeping. I love to use cold cold water in the morning to wash my face with. Not only does it wake me up, but it’s good to get the blood circulating and makes my face less puffy. I wash my face with Tatcha Deep Cleanse (great for oily skin) and my favorite clean brand.
2. I will switch up between face masks for different face concerns I have at the time but lately I have been using fresh masks from Lush. They have a wide variety of masks for all different skin types and concerns. They are fresh so you must keep them in a fridge. What’s great about them is you can save the pods they come in to 7 and bring into store for a free mask!
3. use an essence, its like a toner but better and allows your next products to absorb better , the essence I use if by Fresh called Kombucha Antioxidant Essence.
4. After I let the essence soak into my skin and my face feels dry, I will take Drunk elephant C-firma Vitamin C Day Serum out of my fridge and apply it to my face and the back of my hands. This is good for brightening skin and getting rid of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Also I have heard Vitamins C serum is a natural sunblock, but I don’t know if that actually scientifically proven so please wear a sunscreen!
5. After I use my serum and massage that into my skin I will take my favorite lightweight moisturizer, Tatcha water cream and apply that to my skin. This is great for oily skin types like me and has a great light scent and does not leave me feeling greasy.
6.And last but not least I use a CC cream with a physical sunscreen in it because in order to stay young and prevent aging you must use a sunscreen! I like the cc cream by Supergoop because its lightweight has 30 SPF and matches my skin beautifully and still looks natural
I hope you enjoyed my clean skin care routine and learned new tips on how to find the right clean skin care for you!
