With the change of seasons into Spring comes the opportunity to refresh and make changes to your rituals and routines. Your beauty and skincare routine is one area that can be refreshed seasonally to make sure that you are tuning in to what your skin needs for the seasonal change.
Spring is the perfect time to take a look at your products and see how you can clean up your beauty products and make the move towards clean ingredients.
Self-confessed clean beauty expert Kayla Tjia started her journey to making the switch to clean, ethical beauty products around a decade ago and found that it was a struggle to find any stores who were curating their products to strictly healthy, high performance standards. Guided by her passion, Kayla set out to create One Fine Secret, a clean beauty destination both in-store and online for conscious women and men seeking the healthiest mindful beauty. You’ll find a carefully curated collection of leading organic and natural skincare, makeup and body brands from around the world, all 100% cruelty-free. “I’m really inspired to spread more wellness, joy and intentional living to our community. Clean beauty can transform what can be a routine part of our day into meaningful self-care rituals. Sensorial, botanical products help us reconnect with nature, feed our bodies with goodness and have a positive social and environmental impact too.”
With ever-evolving advancements in green technology, we’re spoilt for choice with so many divine, highly active clean beauty brands. We don’t need to compromise when switching to natural alternatives, and I can’t wait to see clean beauty simply be mainstream beauty some day.”
So what should we look for when refreshing our beauty routine for Spring? Here are Kayla’s tips:
1. Remove synthetic fragrances
Many of the chemicals used to make these are linked to health and environmental toxicity including endocrine (hormone) disrupting chemicals, carcinogens, skin irritants and neurotoxins.
2. Check the ingredients list
You’ll first need to get a basic understanding of how to decipher ingredient lists, so you can identify the good or neutral ingredients from health-disrupting ingredients you’d want to avoid. If it’s packed with lots of botanical plant Latin names or plant common names, then that’s a good sign. It’s usually easy to spot major offenders such as synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates etc, however there are a lot of lesser-known chemicals that are harder to spot.
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliants are easy to incorporate into a ritual and you’ll tend to feel instant noticeable results. They help smooth, renew and purify skin, bringing out our most youthful radiance. For those with congestion-prone skin they’re also great to keep pores clear and remove dead skin cells. Almost everyone can benefit from the right exfoliant and there are gentle, creamy options too for those that may be drier and more sensitive. Boost your spring renewal with a full body exfoliation. Try adding dry body brushing to your ritual for spring. This ayurvedic practice exfoliates your skin and boosts circulation by making dry body brushing part of your skincare routine. This age-old practice promotes radiant skin and supports your overall well-being.
4. Sun protection
Incorporate a beautiful natural mineral sunscreen as we get to enjoy more golden sunshine! As the weather warms up sun protection becomes even more important. Look for a mineral SPF with a clean ingredient list. It’s important to look past marketing claims and check ingredients, as many of the labeling terms used such as ‘natural’, ‘organic’ and ‘clean’ are not regulated. Loosely natural brands may greenwash their products, promoting a few great natural ingredients, however, the rest of the ingredients could be synthetics that may not be clean or nourishing.
5. Vitamin C Boost
Spring is the perfect time to introduce a high quality Vitamin C serum for an antioxidant boost to help protect from sun damage and pigmentation, as well as providing lots of age-rejuvenating benefits.
6. Nourish your skin from the inside out
Beauty and wellness start from within and are best approached holistically. Our skin is our largest living organ and reflects imbalances in our body. Choosing an Organic Cleanse or Whole Food Meal Pack from Sol Cleanse is a convenient way to boost your nutrition and reset your well-being. Let’s feed our bodies with goodness both inside and out!
