5 Ways to Connect with Nature Through Skincare
It’s easy to get distracted in a world where sitting at a desk, looking at phones, or lounging on the couch at home is common. That’s why when we do get outside for a hike or spend time in the garden, it feels relaxing, like we’re connected to something bigger than ourselves. It’s the power of nature. So, how does this apply to skincare, and how can you connect more deeply with what you apply to your skin? Let the power of nature do its thing!

1. Support Responsibly Sourced Ingredients
Responsibly
sourced ingredients are a big factor for today’s skincare consumer.
Your beauty routine doesn’t need to come at the cost of the environment
or animals. Ethically harvested botanicals, fair trade ingredients, and
eco-conscious packaging are all key. As an example, a natural charcoal deodorant
may have fair trade coconut oil, ethically sourced tallow from
grass-fed cows, and pure, wildcrafted essential oils. For many, it’s not
enough to say, “This deodorant doesn’t have aluminum, so that’s good
enough.”
2. Switch Your Skincare Throughout the Seasons
Making seasonal skincare adjustments is beneficial for the skin and
it’s a beautiful expression of harmony with the earth. In the winter,
lean into richer oils and protective balms that keep the skin deeply
moisturized and promote a healthy glow. During spring, it’s time to
detox and renew with purifying products that prep the skin for summer.
Summer weather may call for cooling, calming ingredients and lightweight
textures. Fall will be about repair with nourishing botanicals. And the
cycle repeats, just like the seasons.

3. Embrace Nature Through Skincare Rituals
It’s time to ground down through the earth with your holistic habits.
Skincare is about lovingly applying your products, and it can also be an
intentional, grounding ritual. Consider practices like facial steaming
with herbs to invite relaxation and open your pores. Dry brush the skin
with a natural-bristled dry brush to remove dry, dead skin on the face
and body. Use a pure jade Gua Sha stone to depuff, promote lymphatic drainage, and calm your nervous system.
4. Choose Products with Organic Ingredients
Some of the best non toxic, natural skin care brands harness the power
of plants, minerals, and botanical extracts to support the skin.
Formulations will not include anything artificial or unnecessary. Seek
out wildcrafted botanicals and cold-pressed seed oils because they
retain their nutrients, antioxidants, and healing properties. Whether
it’s a facial cleansing oil or a nourishing serum, check to see what’s
in it.
5. Incorporate Natural Body Care
Beyond facial skincare, embracing nature in body care products is also a way to connect. From natural deodorant with charcoal to dry shampoo to body butters, use products that benefit the skin on
the body. Without harsh and potentially harmful ingredients, your skin
will thrive in your environment.
Make your daily skincare
practices a time to slow down, tune into the natural world around you,
and honor your skin’s changing needs.
