Alcohol-free toners. Choose gentle formulas that use botanicals and natural extracts instead of harsh alcohols that strip the skin. Plant-based toners are soothing and refreshing. But bare in mind, not everyone needs a toner, daily cleansing is often good enough to remove dirt and excess oils.
Gentle facial scrubs. To get soft, smooth skin, it’s important to exfoliate and remove dead, dry skin. But, harsh exfoliating scrubs can cause cuts in the skin, leading to blemishes and inflammation. Choose a finer-textured scrub that pampers the skin without scratching or irritating. Try a scrub formulated with all-natural ingredients such as honey, menthol, licorice or grape seed oil.
Sulfate-free shower gels. Because some body washes and shower gels contain SLS and thereby might irritate your skin, switch to sulfate-free skin care. Cleansers that are free from harsh sulfates and soaps are designed to soothe, soften and restore skin’s natural pH balance.
Sulfate-free shampoos. Many people dry out their scalp with a harsh shampoo, and then use a heavy conditioner to return the moisture their harsh shampoo strips away. Break this cycle by cleansing gently with natural options. Choose plant-based formulas that contain strengthening agents like wheat proteins and pro-vitamin B5.
