What is a natural organic skin care routine?

A natural organic skin care routine is like a nurturing ritual for your skin, designed to promote health and radiance using Mother Nature's gifts. Instead of relying on synthetic ingredients, a natural skin care routine embraces the power of botanicals, essential oils, and other naturally derived elements. This gentle but effective approach seeks to cleanse, hydrate, nourish and protect your skin without the use of harsh chemicals. From cleansing with plant-based cleansers to moisturising with nutrient-rich oils, each step is a delightful ode to the goodness that nature provides. Not only does a natural organic skin care routine aim to enhance your skin's appearance, but it also reflects a mindful choice towards sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

Morning skin care routine:

1. Wash with a natural organic cleanser

Cleansing your skin is necessary for removing built up dirt, helping to prevent clogged pores and promoting a clear complexion. Embracing a natural cleanser in your daily skincare routine is like giving your skin a breath of fresh air every day. Unlike harsh synthetic chemical-laden cleansers, natural cleansers work in harmony with your skin, gently removing impurities without stripping away its natural oils. Infused with botanical goodness, these cleansers offer a soothing and nourishing experience, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

Cleansing tips

2. Apply a natural organic moisturiser

Indulging your skin with a natural organic moisturiser is like treating it to a wholesome feast of goodness. A Light Cream is best to use for normal, combination or oily skin and under makeup. A Rich Cream is best for dry skin and hands. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, they not only provide deep hydration but also deliver a host of benefits. From promoting a healthy glow to maintaining skin elasticity, the natural goodness in these moisturisers works in harmony with your skin's own processes. What sets them apart is the absence of synthetic additives, making them gentle even for the most sensitive skin types.

3. Apply a natural organic Sunscreen

A little bit of sun is good for you! Spending around 20 minutes in the sun helps your body produce vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones and immune function. However, if you're going to be out in the sun for longer periods, it's important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause premature aging and increase the risk of skin cancer. Opting for a natural mineral sunscreens, which use ingredients like zinc oxide, provide a safer, environmentally friendly alternative to chemical sunscreens. They're often recommended by dermatologists, especially for people with sensitive skin.

Exfoliate once or twice a week

By removing dead skin cells from the surface, exfoliation helps to unclog pores, prevent breakouts, and improve the absorption of skincare products. It also promotes cell turnover, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone over time. Unlike harsh chemical exfoliants that can sometimes do more harm than good, natural exfoliating methods offer a gentle yet effective way to rejuvenate your skin. Natural exfoliants not only reveal a smoother, brighter skin but also promote better skin health in the long run.

Exfoliating is best incorporated into a morning or evening routine. It should be done after cleansing but before applying oils, moisturisers or other skincare products.

Top tip: Creams should be applied with the lightest fluids first. For example; face oil, moisturiser, then SPF.

Night time skin care routine:

1. Wash with a natural organic cleanser

Cleansing at night is the cornerstone of a natural, organic skincare routine. It’s essential for removing dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. Proper cleansing allows your skin to breathe and regenerate overnight, while also preventing clogged pores and breakouts. By using a gentle, natural organic cleanser, you can ensure your skin is free from harmful chemicals while still maintaining its natural balance and moisture. This crucial step sets the foundation for healthy, glowing skin.

2. Use a face oil

Using a natural organic face oil can be a game-changer for your skincare routine. These oils, derived from plant-based and organic sources, are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that work harmoniously with your skin. Unlike some conventional face oils that may contain synthetic additives, natural organic options are free from potentially harmful chemicals, making them gentler on sensitive skin. The nourishing properties of these oils help to hydrate, balance, and rejuvenate your skin, leaving it with a healthy and radiant glow. So, if you're looking to enhance your skincare routine naturally, incorporating a high-quality organic face oil could be the perfect way to pamper your skin.

You can also incorporate this into you morning routine for an extra moisture boost if you need it.

2. Apply a natural organic cream

I tend to opt for a rich cream at night because a sinks into the layers of your skin deeply nourishing and healing as it moisturises. A thin layer is left on the surface to keep moisture in, resulting in hydrated naturally soft healthy skin. If you have combination or oily skin a light cream may be enough.

If you're aiming to embrace a natural organic approach to your skincare routine, recognize that there's no universal solution that fits everyone. Here at New Dawn we offer tailored skin care routines for different skin types:
