Whether you walk down the aisle of a Sephora or the beauty aisle in Target, you’re bound to get bombarded with products boasting about their commitment to clean beauty. But is clean skincare worth the hype it’s getting, or is it just a passing trend you’re safe to ignore?
As a consulting firm with extensive experience in the beauty industry, we’re confident in saying that skincare is ABSOLUTELY worth the hype. Products with harsh, harmful, or toxic ingredients can cause your body more harm than it may let on, and in this blog, we’re sharing with you three of the main reasons why clean skincare is not only worth the hype but why it’s one of the best gifts you can give your skin.
Before clean beauty became the ideal standard, companies within the beauty industry had the run of the land when choosing the chemicals and ingredients to put within their products. Chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and even formaldehyde in extreme cases. Chemicals that, when placed on your skin, absorb into your bloodstream and could subsequently cause disastrous and even cancer-causing effects.
However, when you use clean skincare products, you’re using products committed to using clean or natural ingredients. Products that, when absorbed into your skin, will, at a minimum, reduce the amount of toxins you submit yourself to. Which could subsequently improve your overall health.
But when you start using clean skincare products, your chances of irritation could significantly reduce or even go away! This is not only because of the removal of harsh chemicals but because many clean skincare products are designed to work with the natural hormones and balances of your skin, which means they absorb easier and are more likely to support your skin's needs naturally.
