How I Transitioned to Non-Toxic Skincare
Evolution is the name of the game with my wellness routines and approaches to healthy living. Over the past decade my routines have morphed, evolved and simplified, just as I’m sure yours have. For instance, I’ve learned food is medicine and how we fuel our bodies with sets us up for success. I’m also constantly seeking ways to strengthen my physical and mental health thru movement and meditation practices.
Recently I realized a missing link, my skin care routine. Wellness routines for the mind and body are readily available, but I felt that I was neglecting a large area for improvement - my skin. Did you know that skin is our body's largest organ? Knowing this, how can we not give our skin extra care and attention? Most importantly, if I focus on clean eating, why wouldn’t I focus on non-toxic skincare as well?
For this reason I began exploring options for non-toxic skincare, and let me tell you, my skin has never looked or felt better. Primally Pure is an incredible brand I’ve transitioned to for all my non-toxic skincare products. They’re an incredible trusted brand with products that truly work. Now you know, when I’m a believer in a product I can’t keep it to myself. So here’s the breakdown of the simplified skincare routine I use daily, in hopes of inspiring you to explore non-toxic skincare in your life!
Cleansing Oil & Baby Bar
One main change I noticed with Primally Pure were the steps for cleansing skin. There’s an optional one or two step process, depending on your skin’s needs. I have combination skin, so the use both the Cleansing Oil and Baby Bar, and it’s a fantastic fit. Most days I use both steps but only wash my face once a day. I’m very minimalist with makeup (ie I might wear it once a week), so I cleanse my skin mid-day after I workout, but don’t feel the need to wash again at the end of the day. I love the feel and scent of the Cleansing Oil, and paired with the Baby Bar it leaves my skin feeling perfectly refreshed!
Complexion Mist
I’m all for a spritz of moisture, especially at the end of the day. It’s simple, takes two seconds and is refreshing. As I said, I often don’t wash my face before bed, but I do love spritzing the beautifully scented Complexion Mist on before applying moisturizer. My favorite scent is lavender which is inherently calming before bedtime.
Beauty Cream
Morning and night my moisturizing routine includes Beauty Cream, specifically the Palmarosa + Mint Beauty Cream. This moisturizer is simplicity at its best, with only 5 ingredients! My skin seems to drink in this hydration. I love that it’s a natural way to deeply nourish my skin, while focusing on reducing fine lines and signs of aging.
Baby Balm
I love a good multi-purpose item, and the Baby Balm is just that! This one product can be used as an eye cream, or to heal chapped hands. If you’re pregnant or nursing it can also be used to prevent stretch marks or heal sore nipples. Amazing, and a little goes a long ways!
Plumping Facial Serum
Alright I have to confess, I’m a complete sucker for any type of serum! Seriously, somehow the word alone draws me in, and I’m convinced it’s a must have. This is definitely a bonus item to my skincare routine, and not a product I use every day. I use it as my more luxurious item to prevent aging and keep me feeling youthful. I also appreciate how moderately priced Primally Pure’s serum is. If you also suffer from a serum addiction, you know these are typically the most pricey items to fall in love with. Not the case here, which is another reason I love it.
