These days, we have access to a plethora of beauty products and it can get quite overwhelming with the options available, especially if you're new to natural skincare.
Hundreds of cosmetic products promise all kinds of things if you walk down the aisles of any drugstore.
The issue is that anything we put on our skin is absorbed by our body.
Ordinary skin care products are frequently loaded with substances that we would never put in our bodies if we were eating them.
Making the switch to all-natural skin care means utilising products that are good for your skin, your body, and the environment.
Here are a few things that helped me make the transition:
1. Be patient
There's always a period of adjustment when you drastically alter your skin care routine.
When you initially switch, you might notice some variations, such as your skin being a little oilier than usual. Perhaps it's drier.
The good news is that we are adaptable beings. We've grown accustomed to putting chemicals on our skin and can adjust to natural elements as well.
When we move to simpler, more natural components, our bodies can occasionally react strangely as they re-establish their natural equilibrium.
Rather than interpreting this as an indication that your skin doesn't "enjoy" the new products, give it a few weeks. Allow your body to re-establish its natural equilibrium.
2. Remind yourself of your connection to the earth
Stopping the use of synthetic products has a major influence not only on your body, but also on our planet.
Our oceans, streams, creatures, and the air we all breathe are all affected. Making the switch to all-natural substances is a gift not only to oneself, but also to the rest of the world.
When you're going through a difficult shift, it might be helpful to remind yourself why the transition is beneficial not only to you, but also to others.
3. Experiment to see what works best
If the initial all-natural items don't work for you, you may have to try a few more before finding something you like.
For example, the Merindah Botanicals face and body care products are made from all-natural ingredients. Our products contain Australian botanical extracts that soften, nourish and care for your skin.
Experiment with several natural products until you find ones you enjoy. It will benefit both your skin and the environment.
Did you know that knowing your skin type is crucial in determining which products would be the most beneficial?
Using the wrong products can actually make your skin worse than improving your skin in the first place.
