7 Natural Beauty Products Every Woman Should Have in Her Skincare Routine
In today’s world, where skincare routines can often feel overwhelming and loaded with chemicals, the shift towards natural beauty products is more prominent than ever. Women everywhere are discovering the immense benefits of incorporating natural ingredients into their skincare regimens. This list will explore essential natural beauty products that not only enhance the skin’s health but also promote a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Let’s delve into these must-haves for a radiant complexion.
1. The Power of Organic Cleansers
Organic cleansers are the foundation of any effective skincare routine. Unlike traditional cleansers that often contain harsh detergents and synthetic chemicals, organic options harness the power of nature to cleanse without stripping the skin. Ingredients like natural oils, such as sunflower oil, and chamomile not only cleanse but also nourish the skin, making them perfect for all skin types. Incorporating an organic cleanser into your daily routine can result in a clearer, more radiant complexion.
Moreover, organic cleansers are often rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins such as blue green algae and brown algae, that not only act as a superfood for the skin it also helps boost collagen. Different formulations allow you to choose a product that suits your specific needs, whether it’s for oily, dry, or combination skin. Elina Organics’ Botanical Cleanser is a very gentle cleanser perfect for normal to dry skin types, while her Herbal Cleanser is great for oily and combination skin types. It is recommended though that if you have sensitive skin, even it is is oily or combination, to use the Botanical Cleanser because of its gentle nature. No pun intended…well maybe a little. If you prefer to double cleanse in the evening, using Elina’s organic, Make Up Removing Oil, is the perfect oil cleanse before switching to a water based cleanse for your second wash. So, switch to a gentle, organic cleanser and feel the change in your skin’s texture and health.
2. Importance of Natural Moisturizers
Moisturizing is crucial in maintaining skin hydration, and using natural moisturizers can provide deep nourishment without any harmful side effects. Look for products that feature ingredients like avocado oil and rose hip oil, as these natural emollients hydrate the skin while enhancing its overall texture. Unlike conventional moisturizers that can clog pores and lead to breakouts, natural alternatives allow your skin to breathe.
Furthermore, many natural moisturizers are packed with vitamins and lipids containing good fatty acids, (avocado oil has a whopping 62% lipid content) that promote healing and elasticity. For example, a moisturizer containing rosehip oil can help fade scars and reduce signs of aging. By investing in a natural moisturizer, you’re not only treating your skin to luxurious hydration but also supporting its health in the long term.
Check out these 100% organic moisturizers by Elina Organics that are truly a meal for your skin.

3. Gentle, Organic Eye Creams
Don’t be so quick to run out and buy the latest retinol products, as there are mixed studies when it comes to determining what, if any, negative long-term exposure to the popular chemical-laden retinol products have. Numerous studies show that at a minimum this popular ingredient can cause thinning and redness to an already delicate area of the skin. Instead, opt for gentle, organic eye creams that nourish and protect this sensitive area without harsh side effects. Look for creams enriched with natural ingredients like cucumber extract, natural vitamins and antioxidants, such as in the Emerald Eye Elixir and in the Intensive Eye Rejuvenating Cream as these components can soothe irritation, reduce puffiness, provide the hydration your skin craves and protect from the numerous oxidative/environmental stresses our skin experiences every day. Incorporating a natural eye cream into your routine can help diminish dark circles and fine lines while promoting a youthful appearance. Make this essential step in your regimen and enjoy the benefits of a gentle, yet effective approach to eye care.
4. Gentle Exfoliators with Natural Ingredients
Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells, and opting for gentle exfoliators made with natural ingredients makes it effective and kind to your skin. Ingredients such as finely ground brown sugar, like found in this Pumpkin Scrub or crushed stones, such as found in the Sapphire Exfoliating Mask and Amethyst Polish, serve as excellent natural exfoliants that gently buff away dead skin without causing irritation. Unlike harsh scrubs with plastic microbeads or abrasive particles, natural options promote smoother skin while respecting its delicate balance.
Additionally, following up with an exfoliant that contains soothing agents like honey (think of this amazing Cranberry Rose Skin Refiner) can help to nourish the skin while you exfoliate. You should aim to exfoliate 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin type; this frequency allows for renewal without over-exfoliating. To enhance your natural beauty regimen further, look for gentle exfoliating products that provide visible results without damaging your skin’s barrier.
5. Natural Sunscreens for Skin Protection
Shielding your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays is essential for maintaining its health, and natural sunscreens offer an effective way to protect your skin. Look for sunscreens made with mineral filters like zinc oxide, such as Sun Day Sunscreen, and titanium oxide, which reflect UV rays instead of absorbing them. These ingredients are not only safer for your skin but are also better for marine life, making them a perfect choice for eco-conscious consumers.
Natural sunscreens often come enriched with skin-loving extracts like green tea or vitamin E, which can soothe and heal the skin while providing the necessary sun protection. Moreover, these formulas are usually free from harmful chemicals often found in traditional sunscreens, preventing issues such as irritation or breakouts. By integrating a natural sunscreen into your daily routine, you’ll not only protect your skin but also promote a healthier future for our planet.
6. The Benefits of Herbal/Botanical Serums
Herbal serums are a powerhouse in skincare; they offer concentrated benefits that target various concerns effectively. Formulated with potent plant extracts, such as witch hazel, calendula, or elderflower, these serums can tackle issues like inflammation (Vitamin C Elixir), acne, and fine lines (Angelite Crystal Elixir). Using an herbal serum enhances your routine and helps deliver nutrients deep into the skin, making it a valuable addition for anyone seeking a natural solution.
Incorporating herbal serums into your routine is simple; apply a few drops after you’ve cleansed and used toner, but before moisturizing. You will notice that the lightweight texture absorbs rapidly, allowing the beautiful botanical properties to work their magic. Serums not only have immediate benefits but also contributes to long-term skin health, ensuring you radiate confidence and vitality day after day.
7. Soothing Masks with Natural Components
Lastly, soothing face masks can revitalize your complexion, and those made with natural components bring the ultimate pampering experience. Ingredients like avocado, yogurt, and honey provide hydration and nutrients that can calm irritation and brighten the skin. Natural masks serve as an oasis for your skin—think of them as a mini spa treatment that restores radiance and tranquility amidst your busy routine. We have many masks to choose from for all skin types, but our most popular is the Amber Collagen Mask, sister to the Amber Collagen Cream mentioned above, that is a potent combination of Baltic Amber and collagen peptides to moisturize and revitalize dry skin and plump up those fine lines and wrinkles.
The beauty of face masks lies in their versatility; whether you’re looking for deep hydration, brightening, or soothing effects, there’s a natural solution for every skin type. Make a soothing mask a weekly ritual, allowing yourself the time to relax and rejuvenate while nourishing your skin with the goodness of nature.
Final Wrap Up
A skincare routine can seem daunting, but it is not difficult at all, and it is not nearly as time consuming as people think. The key to having healthy, vibrant skin is consistency. If you are new to skincare, this is the order in which you add your products.
- Cleanse (Morning and Night - unless dry skin, just once a day is good).
- Exfoliate and Mask (or use an exfoliating mask which is a 2 in 1 step, 2 times/week. It doesn’t matter if you do this step in the morning or night, but the important part is to do this 2 times/week).
- A Quick Spritz of Toner (Morning and Night)
- Serum(s) (If you use more than one serum, start with the thinnest formula first).
- Eye Cream (Morning & Night)
- Moisturize (Morning & Night)
- SPF (Morning)
