Cosmetics are more often than not toxic for us. Putting harsh chemicals on your face may give you results at the moment but ultimately, they can be counter-productive. Make this the year you switch to natural alternatives. Here are a few to make this transition easy:
1. Toner
A toner is part of your basic skincare routine and is used by almost everyone. However, half the time you don’t know what beauty companies put in it. Do yourself a favor and switch to natural rose water. Rosewater has anti-inflammatory properties, gets rid of acne and aids in cooling the skin to leave you fresh.
2. Lip Balm
Have you ever thought that putting cosmetic lip balms actually makes your lips drier then it’s a toxic cycle? To counter this, opt for natural lip balms. Nothing soothes cracked and chapped lips better than almond oil, something you might already have. Dab a little on your lips every night and prepare to be amazed.
3. Moisturiser
Natural moisturisers can protect your skin’s moisture barrier. Natural alternatives to cosmetic moisturisers are exactly what your face needs. Aloe Vera gel is an excellent option for a number of reasons. It doesn’t leave a greasy layer, rejuvenates the skin, and unclogs the pores.
4. Face Mask
Store-bought masks have given us breakouts more than they have given us good skin. Hence, try opting for natural honey next time your face needs a little pick me up. Honey has antimicrobial properties and is full of antioxidants that also help with acne. It also works like a dream for unclogging pores.
5. Lip Scrub
Lips can darken over time due to sun exposure or just become dry and chapped from the weather. In that case, scrubbing them is essential to make them healthy again. Get the natural pink back in your lips with this natural scrub. Crush pomegranate seeds and mix in milk cream and scrub your lips whenever need be.
6. Face Cleanser
Out with the toxic, cosmetic face cleaners and in with natural beauty alternatives. Mix raw milk and raw honey in a 1:2 ratio and apply on the face. Massage it gently and watch how it extracts all the dirt. Milk will cleanse gently and hydrate while honey is antibacterial. Your face will also be rid of the bacteria which causes acne and breakouts. Win-win?
7. Under Eye Cream
The under-eye area is super thin and sensitive. Don’t experiment with chemicals. Simply apply a few drops of almond oil or sweet almond oil under the eyes. It helps in reducing puffiness.
