Creating a natural skincare routine doesn't have to be complicated. With just a few intentional steps, you can build a regimen that works with your skin—not against it. Whether you're new to clean beauty or just looking to simplify, these tips will help you build a routine that's gentle, effective, and made for real life.
1. Cleanse Gently
Say goodbye to foaming cleansers packed with sulfates and harsh detergents. These can strip your skin's natural oils and leave it feeling tight and dry. Instead, reach for a natural soap bar made with olive oil, coconut oil, or castor oil. At CG Pure Wash, our handcrafted bars are formulated to gently cleanse without upsetting your skin's balance.
2. Tone Naturally
Toning helps restore your skin's pH after cleansing. Ditch alcohol-based toners (which are super drying) and instead go for natural options like rose water or witch hazel. They're soothing, balancing, and perfect for prepping your skin for hydration.
3. Hydrate Deeply
This is where the magic happens. Use a hydrating serum that includes aloe vera, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid. These ingredients draw moisture deep into your skin, keeping it plump and soft. For extra nourishment, layer with a light face oil afterward.
4. Moisturize Wisely
A good moisturizer seals everything in. Choose one that’s rich in shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E. These ingredients are deeply hydrating and gentle enough for everyday use. Our upcoming "Whip It" facial cream will check all these boxes and then some!
5. Protect Daily
Even the cleanest skin needs protection. Mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide provide broad-spectrum coverage without synthetic chemicals. Don't skip this step—sun protection is a non-negotiable for healthy skin.
