Simple Tips for Healthier Skin, Naturally

Healthy skin feels good and looks great.

We believe nature offers the best care for our skin and that chemicals and harsh products cause more harm than help. We want to share simple, natural skincare tips that anyone can use to help their skin glow and become healthy. Let’s explore easy ways to care for your skin naturally.

Simple Natural Skincare Tips You Can Start Today

Taking care of your skin does not have to be complicated. You can start with small changes that make a big difference. Your daily habits matter a lot.

Here are some natural skincare tips we recommend:

• Drink plenty of water. Hydration is key. Water flushes out toxins and keeps your skin soft. When you think you've drank enough, it's best to have at least one more cup. We suggest having at least 80oz of water a day.

• Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E help repair and protect skin.

• Protect your skin from the sun. Use natural sunscreens or wear hats and protective clothing.

• Get enough sleep. Your skin repairs itself while you rest.

• Manage stress. Stress can cause breakouts and dull skin. Try meditation or gentle exercise to help calm your body and mind.

• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. These damage skin cells and speed aging.

• Clean your makeup brushes regularly. Dirty brushes spread bacteria and cause irritation.

• Wash your pillowcases routinely. A weekly washing of pillowcases is a good idea since each and every night it's used to cradle our face.

• Minimize your skincare routine. Oftentimes, the less you put on your skin, the happier it's going to be. Dix the toxic products with ingredients that you can't pronounce. Opt for a cleanser and moisturizer in one, like Skin Smoother.

• Use lukewarm water. Hot water strips natural oils from your skin, so when showering try to skip the scolding hot water and opt for a cooler temp.

• Moisturize with natural oils. Coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil and tallow nourish skin without clogging pores. Try Whipped Body Butter or Tallow Balm

Remember that it's okay to start small. Drink more water, swap one product for a natural alternative, or try a homemade mask instead of buying your next one. Over time, these changes add up. You will feel more confident in your skin and enjoy the benefits of nature’s gifts while being thankful that you took that first step.

Switching to Cleaner Skincare Products

Switching to natural skincare is easier than you think. Start by reading labels carefully.

Avoid products with parabens, sulfates, and "fragrances". Fragrance is an umbrella term for up to 3,000 harsh and irritating chemicals used to make particular scents.  If you can't pronounce an ingredient name, it probably is not good for skin.

Instead, choose items with ingredients you recognize and trust. Tallow, coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter etc. are on our list of A+ ingredients.

Why Choose Natural Skincare Solutions?

Natural skincare solutions can be trusted because they work with the skin, not against it. Harsh chemicals can cause dryness, redness, or allergic reactions. Natural products support the skin’s natural barrier and healing process.

Using natural skincare solutions also supports a healthier environment. They avoid synthetic chemicals that pollute water and soil. Choosing natural means caring for yourself and the planet.

Ready for some DIY natural skincare?

You can also make your own skincare products at home. Here are a few ideas:

1. Honey and yogurt face mask - Mix equal parts honey and organic, plain yogurt. Apply for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. This mask soothes and hydrates skin.

2. Oatmeal scrub - Blend oatmeal into a fine powder. Mix with water or milk to create a gentle exfoliant. Use once or twice a week.

3. Aloe vera gel - Aloe Vera plants not only add fun decoration to your household but are a cost-effective and long-lasting remedy to calm irritated and sunburned skin. Each leaf of the aloe vera plant is filled with gel, which provides a cooling and soothing effect when applied to skin.

   
   

These homemade remedies are affordable and free from harmful chemicals. They let you control what touches your skin.
