6 products every natural skincare lover should try

Ever since I was a little kid, I've always heard my grandma say, "What you put on your body is just as important as what you put in in your body." She always stressed the importance of using natural skin care products as a means of taking care of the largest organ of your body. While I'm an admittedly skincare buff who's always willing to try new things (consider it an occupational hazard), now that I'm older and in charge of my own shopping, her words always get behind me. intelligence. 

In an effort to become a more conscious consumer, I have been looking for all-natural, organic, vegan and cruelty-free skin care brands. Fortunately, pure skincare brands easy to find. Whether you're trying to be more mindful of your purchases or have been on the clear skin care train for a while, check out my favorite brands and products I've discovered. 

NakedPoppy Revitalize Organic Facial Oil

The founders of NakedPoppy pride themselves on being "pure beauty fanatics." All of the brand's products are cruelty-free and are made using safe ingredients, fair labor practices and minimal environmental impact. This organic facial oil contains rosehip seeds, a natural alternative to retinol, which makes your skin look firmer, smoother and more radiant.  

The Facialworks Beach Please Invisible Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 55

Facialworks is an eco-friendly skincare brand inspired by the coastal cities of Orange County, California. Made with natural ingredients, reusable glass packaging and no chemical preservatives, this brand offers a range of pure and effective skin care products. I love Beach Please a pure sunscreen, firstly because of its witty name, and secondly because of its lightweight formula that melts into your skin without a chalky or greasy finish.

Every natural deodorant

I have been a fan of natural deodorants for a long time and especially love Every & Every natural deodorants which are made with natural, pure ingredients that really work. In addition, all of their containers are recyclable as part of the One and All program. You will even receive a free gift as a thank you.

Plant Apothecary is a plant-based skincare brand focused on sustainable self-care.

Try a very mild aloe cleanser that cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture. It is based on essential oils of lemongrass and does not contain parabens, sulfates or other synthetic ingredients.

This vegan, all-natural, plant-based skincare line was created with the goal of returning to simple, time-tested beauty rituals. The products are not abused and the ingredients are 100% natural and organic. For a brighter, smoother complexion, try this antioxidant marine mask to soften, soothe and purify congested skin.
