Going Natural: 5 Natural Beauty Products that Are Better for Your Skin
Giving your skin a healthy glow often means choosing products that are free of harmful chemicals and fillers. While there are plenty of cosmetics out there that are affordable and unnatural, there are also a growing number of all-natural items that provide favorable results and are made from plant-based ingredients. You may think that all-natural cosmetic brands are all off the beaten path, however you can find some popular brands that are starting to produce more natural products. If you think your skin could use a break from harmful chemicals, here are a few natural beauty products you may want to try.
RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Cream
This product is a natural makeup remover that works much like cold cream. Coconut oil, which is the main ingredient in the cream, effectively removes makeup while moisturizing the skin and protecting the complexion from free radical damage. Coconut oil is also a natural acne treatment, as its antibacterial property can cure the face of acne and breakouts. The makeup remover costs about $18 and can be purchased from the RMS beauty website.
Nvey Eco Mattifying Compact Powder
This powder helps to absorb in the skin, which is ideal for oily skin and for maintaining a matte look during the spring and summer. The powder is free of talc, a chemical often found in facial powder that can cause skin irritation. The matte powder also contains natural ingredients like jojoba oil, carrot seed oil and vitamin C. Beauty superstores like Ulta carry the powder.
Greenyarn Moist+3 Facial Mask
This facial mask created from eco-cotton and activated charcoal will help you to absorb more nutrients in to your skin, giving it more moisture and eliminating toxins in the skin. This is a literal mask that is already pre-cut. All you have to do is wash your face and apply the mask, and keeping it on for only a few minutes will help extract any harmful chemicals from your skin, giving you a beautiful glow. The ingredients in the mask provide endless benefits, including the ability to reduce acidic levels in your body, preventing wrinkles from forming, and removing excess oils from your skin.
Neutrogena Naturals Face and Body Bar
This soap does not contain sulfate, which can dry the skin and cause irritation. Neutrogena Naturals Face and Body Bar can be used as both a gentle facial cleanser and a shower soap, and contains almond and olive oils, along with purified water and vegetable glycerin, to purify the skin and give face and body a soft, supple appearance. The soap can be purchased at most grocery stores.
Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask
This facial mask from Tata Harper helps to create a clearer, brighter complexion. The product contains pomegranate seeds, which make the pores look smaller and help to prevent breakouts. Other natural ingredients include white willow, which helps to renew the skin’s cells. This facial mask can be found at fine department stores like Nordstrom.
Josie Maran Argan Day + Night Eye Cream
If you shop at beauty superstores like Sephora often, you can easily pick up this natural under-eye treatment from Josie Maran. The cream contains argan oil, which is a natural oil that renews the skin and gets rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Argan oil also reduces puffiness underneath the eyes, and costs about $70.
These products are ideal for adding to your beauty regimen, as they don’t contain the ingredients that can cause a weakened immune system or hormone imbalances. After using these items for just a few weeks, you’ll find that your skin has a healthy and renewed glow, and you’ll wonder why you ever used anything but natural.
