All we could ever need to harness beautiful, clear skin has been at our fingertips all along - courtesy of Mother Nature!
Natural skincare advocates have been saying it for years, but there is a lot of truth to the statement. We have been made stewards of plants with incredible healing benefits, and we don't always make use of them the way we could. Here are some suggestions so you can ditch the artificial garbage and harness the power of plant-based skincare.
Â
1. Choose Ingredients with Purpose
The quality of a product is right there at your fingertips - the ingredients list! Our first suggestion is to target products that have the specific natural ingredients you need for whatever your skincare goals are.
Opt for plant-based skincare with nourishing botanicals like RoseHip Oil for anti-aging or Frankincense Essential Oil for antioxidant protection. These natural ingredients work with your skin, not against it.
Â
2. Ditch Harsh Chemicals
While you're reading ingredients, take the time to check those labels thoroughly. Make sure you don't see any questionable ingredients that may be doing your skin more harm than good.
Many conventional products contain parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances that can irritate the skin.
Switch to clean, plant-powered formulas to support your skin’s health and radiance naturally.

3. Hydrate with Nature’s BestÂ
While you're drinking water for your body, you need to keep your skin moisturized exteriorly too! Guess what - nature has provided ways you can do that naturally as well!
Keep skin plump and glowing with natural moisturizers like Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, and Beeswax. These plant-derived hydrators lock in moisture without clogging pores.4. Enhance Your Glow with Essential OilsÂ
If you're ready to try the "big guns," look no further than nature's own essential oils. With concentrated properties and unique benefits to every oil, they really are nature's powerhouse of healing!
Gentle essential oils like Lavender and Frankincense not only smell amazing but also help soothe inflammation, balance oil production, and promote skin repair.
Â
5. Stay Consistent & Let Nature WorkÂ
This last step is KEY - and arguably the hardest. In a day and age of instant gratification, we all struggle to have the determination to see something through to the end. We want instant results. But sometimes, the pay off is in the long haul.
This is definitely true for plant-based skincare. It works best when used consistently. Give your skin time to adjust and reap the long-term benefits of natural, toxin-free beauty. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
