By taking a natural approach to your skincare routine, you can give your skin the nourishment it needs to look its best. Read on to get that glowing skin!
Glow From Within with These 10 Natural Skincare Tips
1. Check the label
Pay attention to the ingredients in your products, as some can be hazardous to your health.
Natural skincare products are a great alternative to achieve a glowing skin, as they can be much gentler than their commercial counterparts.
2. Get a restful sleep
Sleep is essential for more than just looking and feeling your bestāit helps your body stay healthy and happy too. This is my favorite natural skincare tip!
To get the most out of your sleep, focus on the quality of sleep rather than just the hours spent dozing. To help ensure a restful nightās sleep, use an essential oil like
Vetiver.
I am a fan of dÅTERRAās
Serenity blend! This blend of essential oil is designed to support relaxation and restorative sleep to help you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
3. Keep your stress levels low
Stress has a significant impact on the way your skin looks and feels. From dehydrating it to causing facial blemishes, and wrinkles, it is important to keep your stress levels low.
4. Be properly hydrated
Drink your water! Consuming at least eight glasses of water a day helps rid your body of toxins and keep your skin happy and hydrated.
You can also keep a reusable water bottle handy and fill it up as often as possible.
Try adding citrus essential oils to your water for a refreshing flavor and cleansing benefits. My favorites are
Lemon,
Wild Orange, and
Grapefruit! Iām loving the new
MetaPWR blend in my water to also help with sugar cravings
.
5. Use natural skincare products
Many essential oils are packed with beneficial properties that can help you achieve glowing skin!
But why stop at just using essential oils?
Check out the skin care options dÅTERRA has to offer! Not only can you enjoy the benefits of essential oils, but you can also get that glowing, healthy skin.
The
Verage Skin Care already has my four must-have items which makes my skincare routine easier: Moisturizer, Cleanser, Serum, and Toner.
6. Clean your makeup items
Cleaning your brushes, sponges, and other makeup items regularly is essential to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria.
Natural products may lack preservatives, meaning they may have a shorter shelf life than traditional cosmetics. If you notice your natural cosmetics starting to smell or change in texture, itās time to discard them and find a new product.
7. Eat a nutritious diet
When it comes to skin health, what you eat matters. Eating a balanced diet is the key to having healthy, glowing skin.
Avoiding high-sugar diets can make your skin look younger and healthier. Filling your plate with plenty of fruits and vegetables can give you the nutrients you need to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

8. Support your skin with supplements
While eating a nutritious, balanced diet is key to healthy skin, you can also consider taking supplements to support your skin health. Vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, such as fish oil, can aid in improving the appearance of your skin.
Try the dÅTERRA
Lifelong Vitality PackĀ®! This combination of supplements helped my body rid itself of toxins and helped me maintain a glowing skin!
9. Protect your skin from the sun
Donāt forget to use sunscreen as part of your skincare routine no matter what the season! UV rays can be just as damaging in the winter, so be sure to reach for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15.
If youāre looking for a natural mineral sunscreen, I highly suggest the dÅTERRA
Sunscreen stick!
It is a twist-up tube with SPF 40 made of plant-based ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and vitamin E. Plus points since it is easy to throw in my bag!
10. Look at your makeupās ingredients
Itās really important to check the ingredients on your makeup. I especially avoid parabens and phthalates/fragrance.
Some places you can find your favorite makeup products made without these ingredients are
Honest Company,
Sephora (check paraben-free & fragrance-free in the filter), and
Beauty Counter.
Keeping your skin clear of these items and still using fun makeup is a total win!
You donāt have to give up all your favorite skincare products at once! Start with one or two items and gradually replace your skincare routine with natural, toxin-free alternatives.
At its core, natural skincare is about understanding your skin and its needs. Itās about discovering what ingredients work best for your skin and creating a tailored skincare routine to fit your needs.
