It’s easy to get confused when it comes to natural skincare routines. There are so many buzzy new potions out there with outlandish claims. Not sure about you, but I have thrown A LOT of money away over the years getting suckered in by marketing.
I cleaned up my skincare routine a few years back when I went the natural route. My skin thanked me and I felt better about not slathering myself with chemicals with fancy names.
Aging is not a bad thing (beats the alternative, right?!) and it’s inevitable we’ll all pick up wrinkles and lines along the way through our lives. But the point of building a natural skincare routine for anti-aging is to have our skin looking as fine as possible!
Here are our recommended steps for your best natural skincare routine:
Morning and evening:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser that will not strip your skin of its natural oils. The goal here is to remove dirt, dead skin cells, the day’s makeup, and excess oil. Try Sealuxe’s daily face polisher Goddess Grains.
Morning and evening:
Right after cleansing your skin, you’ll want to tone, tone, tone! This is a necessary step for all skin types, particularly oily. Sealuxe’s Rose + Seaweed Toner is excellent for skin hydration, tired eyes, blemishes, and soothing other skin irritations.
Morning and evening:
After toning, use a facial oil. Facial oils are remarkable for helping to rebuild your skin’s elasticity and firmness. They easily penetrate the surface of the skin and infuse it with vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that go a long way to repairing, replenishing, and bringing your skin back to peak health. They’re also amazing for keeping your skin hydrated. Our favourite is Nourish. There is also Balance and Protect.
Morning and evening:
Where would we be without moisturizer? Use a natural moisturizer that contains antioxidants and probiotics which are great for keeping your skin looking plump and healthy. If you have dry skin, opt for a heavier moisturizer at night (something to also consider as we head into the cooler weather).
Morning:
Follow up moisturizing with a good sunscreen. Always! Sun is one of the biggest reasons behind premature aging as it depletes the collagen in your skin as well as can cause uneven pigmentation.
Weekly:
We here at Sealuxe headquarters recommend using a face mask one to three times a week. They’re fabulous at working to hydrate and strengthen our skin barrier, as well as brightening and smoothing out uneven skin tone. Bonus – it gives you a few minutes of forced downtime! Sealuxe’s Seaweed Face Mask is sublime but be sure to check out Sealuxe’s Rose Face Mask and the Alabaster Face Mask. May we also recommend applying with a brush? It gives a luxurious edge to the application of the mask!
Your skin will thank you for this natural anti-aging regime as it will feel like your skin should fee!.
