Natural Skincare Routine
Moisturizing is essential because it helps keep your skin hydrated, preventing dryness. This is especially important for those who have dry skin or want to avoid dryness in the future. Additionally, moisturizing will help reduce oiliness and acne breakouts on oily skin types, preventing flaking on the T-zone area of combination skin. It's important to note that moisturizers should be applied after cleansing but before toner or serum (if you're using them).
Natural Skincare That Works
The main difference between skincare and makeup is that skincare focuses on treating fundamental skin issues (like acne or aging) while makeup focuses on covering them up. You could wear both simultaneously if you wanted, but they're different products with different purposes. Some people like to use an oil-free primer or foundation over their sunscreen as an extra layer of protection against UV rays; others prefer to wear just sunscreen because they don't want anything else on top of it (which means no other makeup).
What Is Natural Skincare
Natural skincare is an alternative to chemically based products. Natural skincare products typically include ingredients that are found in nature. These products tend to be made without parabens, alcohol, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Some natural beauty companies even avoid using animal ingredients like beeswax or lanolin.
Going Natural
Why going natural means embracing your inner beauty
Ask any woman of color over a certain age and you’re likely to hear a familiar story. While the details might vary based on the person, it probably starts along these lines:
“I was five years old when I first started talking about ‘good hair’ (and how I didn’t have it)…”
“I was 10 years old when I got my first—of many—relaxers…”
“I don’t want to be in the sun because I don’t want to get any darker.”
“I’m just not pretty.”
Sadly, these conversations happen all too often between woman across multiple ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, hair types and skin tones. It’s a tale as old as time for so many of us—and definitely not a fairytale.
