How to Switch to Organic Beauty: 5 Top Tips

People lack information on why to make the change and ways on how to. Whether it is curiosity or intuition, you are one step closer to making one of life's greatest and least regrettable decisions. Changing from everything you know and everything you have ever known, is agreeably never easy, but commendable. There is an undeniable revolutionary shift in the beauty mindset and this is spreading across the globe, fast. 

New attitudes towards beauty are from knowledge being gained and research being conducted about 'going beauty green'.These discoveries are spurring the great and unstoppable demand for natural and organic beauty products. 

New brands are rising with a new message and a clear vision that focuses on creating skincare that is beneficial to the skin, safe and pure. Well, why should I change? is what you may ask. Here are 3 reasons to consider. 

1. Skin food - our skin absorbs almost everything we put on to it - fact. Just look right now at the ingredients on a simple product such as lipstick. All THAT?! The majority of these ingredients are just chemicals upon chemicals with no respect to nature or to you. Natural and organic beauty products contain natural vegetable oils and essential oils that are far more superior in terms of functionality, feel and effect on the skin. 'Green beauty' products are much gentler and kind to sensitive skin too! They can help eradicate irritation and sensitivity, since inflammation is often caused by the harsh chemicals, soaps, and fragrances in conventional products.

2. Natural and organic beauty products are a much safer option when it comes to your health. Many of the ingredients used in formulating non-organic beauty products have been proven to contain toxic chemicals, artificial colours, fragrances and harmful preservatives that seep into your bloodstream as you use them. These have been linked to hormonal disruption, bad skin allergies and even as worse as being carcinogenic.

3.  Not only are you putting healthier products on your skin, you are helping protect the environment. No animal testing and ethical practices are at the centre of many natural and organic beauty brand philosophies; that's obviously  a good thing!

HOW TO Switch to Organic Beauty: 5 top tips 

1.  After reading this don't chuck everything out! Being wasteful is not environmentally-friendly. Instead, finish off the products you have and gradually replace them with new natural beauty products. This is easier and far more affordable.

2. Read our Meet the Brand features (such as this one) on our blog. This gives you brand insight and what to expect from their product line. So much quicker than going through many pages of Google to get this information, we have done all the hard hard work for you briefly summarising the brand for quick reading and easy learning. 

3. Focus on an easy starter such as cleanser or toner, then begin to work your way up. How to decide your next skincare step? Think of your main skincare concern first. You may be trying to fight the signs of ageing on your face. Try a serum which is a product specially formulated with a higher concentration of potent ingredients to target specific skin concerns. Serums boost your skin with lots of goodness and help fight concerns such as wrinkles, age spots, hyperpigmentation and dull, lifeless skin.

4. Another great way to start your new natural beauty routine is to experiment with a selection of at home products, giving you a feel of just how superior natural and beauty is! Some facial deep cleansing and body detoxing products also have aromatherapeutic effects that relax the body and calm the senses. 

5. Final tip. Give it time! Healthy, glowing, feel-good skin are great benefits of switching to organic beauty, however you will not see miracles within days. Average skin cell turnover takes 28 days and as we age, this process takes even longer. Patience is certainly a virtue.
