You have a natural body care routine, but how did it develop? Is there a brand that you love to use from head to toe? Do you like to mix different natural skin care products to see what happens? Are there things you look for like how they give back, sustainability, and natural ingredients?
What are you doing now?
FAVORITE BRAND
We all have our favorites and you do too. In fact, you are attached to the brand. The products have worked for you in the past but now you’re thinking about a change to try to make your skin look its best.
MIX IT UP
You’ve gathered products from different brands and each product has a different role in your daily body care routine. They seem to work well together but you’re thinking it might be time for a change.
SHOP YOUR VALUES
Every purchase you make has your values behind it, whether it’s conscious or subconscious. For example, looking for natural skin care products is more than finding the most popular clean beauty products. For you it might also be vegan skincare, cruelty free skincare, or sustainability.
NEXT LEVEL ROUTINE
This would be a good time to take a step back. What do you hope for in your daily routine? Is it healthy, glowing skin? Is it to avoid dry skin on body? Is it using the best beauty products?
CLEAN BEAUTY PRODUCTS
There is no reason to use products full of chemicals that are absorbed by your skin. The question of whether clean beauty products are effective was answered a long time ago. Now there are so many options, it’s hard to choose.
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS
- Find a clean beauty brand you trust that has either tons of reviews, a third-party certification (like Leaping Bunny, EWG Verified. MADE SAFE Certified) or is a favorite of someone close to you.
Learn more about third party certifications.
- Find a store (brick and mortar) or online that has already vetted product quality and values, doesn’t have thousands of choices, and has some good press surrounding it. Even better if they can help you select products based on your needs.
- Be willing to explore new brands and products. Give the product time to work, especially if it has “actives”.
- Try more products with “active” ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides or niacinamides. These really give your skincare the best value for your dollar.
You are now prepared with some steps to take your body care routine to the next level by trying clean beauty products you can trust.
