Why should you start using natural makeup and what are the benefits of it? We get that question a lot from the customers who have never tried natural makeup before. We can imagine it can be tricky to switch from your old faithful conventional makeup products to all-natural makeup products. We would like to explain all the benefits of natural makeup so that you too can create a stunner of a look with natural makeup goodies.
Ingredients
When you use makeup for your face, you probably apply the makeup (including the ingredients) to your skin. When you use conventional makeup with the harsh ingredients, your skin will absorb it and these toxins get into your body this way. Something you don't want! We will list here for you which ingredients are toxic and which are often used in conventional make-up.
The most common toxic ingredients used in cosmetics are: parabens, petroleum derivatives, formaldehyde, triclosan, diethanolamine or BHA. These are the ingrediënts you want to avoid using. Here's a tip from us to go check out the ingredients lists from all of your conventional makeup products. Please check your makeup because you really want to avoid these harsh ingredients.
Benefits of natural makeup
Natural makeup has a lot of benefits which we would love to tell you about. Starting with that natural makeup is made from vegan and organic ingredients. We can hear you think, but how can makeup be created and formulated with natural ingredients? For example, a natural lipstick is formulated with fruit pigments that colour the lipstick. This is also used for eye shadows, blushes, mascaras, concealers and foundations. Besides the fact that the ingredients of natural makeup are vegan, they are also non-toxic and therefore gentle on the skin. This ensures that natural makeup is skin-proof as they say in skincare world. No irritated skin or eyes when applying foundation and mascara, sounds like music to the ears right? Last but not least, natural makeup is unlike conventional makeup better for mother earth as no pesticides are disposed into the environment.
How to make the switch?
We can imagine you would love to start and switch up your beauty game and go for natural make up products and do not know where to start. We would recommend at least starting with switching to a natural makeup base such as a concealer foundation, or BB cream. These are the products you apply directly to your skin, so switching to a natural foundation will be nice and soft for your skin. Are you always dealing with sensitive eyes? Then it would also be good to go for a natural mascara and/or eyeliner. Not sure which foundation to choose or what will be the perfect mascara for you?
