Smooth, radiant skin without imperfections… Everyone dreams of that perfect skin, but is it really possible in real life? The notion of “perfect skin” varies from person to person. It could be skin without spots or redness, or even having a luminous and even complexion. But beyond the aesthetic standards that flourish on social networks, having healthy skin is above all a question of balance and well-being. Is it really possible to achieve this ideal with natural care? Centifolia has its opinion on the matter!
The advantages of organic vs. conventional care
Organic and natural cosmetics are gaining ground compared to conventional products, and for good reason! They favor ingredients from organic farming that respect the skin in the long term, and refuse ingredients that are bad for the skin such as pesticides, silicones, mineral oils, endocrine disruptors or even eternal pollutants, known by the sadly fashionable name of PFAS. These ingredients certainly offer an immediate effect but often remain superficial and natural alternatives are now possible. Organic cosmetics are generally more respectful of the environment but also of your health by respecting the skin microbiome. What is the skin microbiome? We have the answers in this article!
Finally, the advantage of natural care is that they act to rebalance the skin thanks to plant active ingredients rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. For example, aloe vera is recognized for its soothing and moisturizing properties, while vegetable oils (jojoba, argan, borage, etc.) nourish and strengthen the skin barrier. By adopting an organic skincare routine, the skin regains its balance and becomes more resistant to external aggressions. And it does not necessarily cost more, contrary to popular belief! If you think that organic cosmetics are expensive, don’t hesitate to reread our advice on how to adapt your organic routine to your budget.
Transition to an organic routine: good practices
Moving from a conventional routine to an organic routine doesn’t happen in a day. The skin needs time to adapt to more natural formulas, the results may take a little longer to be visible but they will be there! Here are some tips for a successful transition to organic cosmetic products:
1. Don’t skip steps: start with essential products like cleanser, serum and moisturizer before expanding your routine. If you are considering changing your hair routine, we have prepared a complete guide to successfully transition to organic shampoos
2. Take into account the needs of your skin: dry skin will appreciate nourishing oils, while combination or oily skin will benefit from balancing active ingredients such as witch hazel floral water. Centifolia offers you a diagnosis to define your skin type. Also, do not hesitate to seek advice from a professional.
3. Accept the adaptation period: you started a new routine a week ago and your skin seems duller, drier or on the contrary spots appear? No worries! This is temporary and it’s a good sign: you are going through a detoxification phase and your epidermis is naturally rebalancing. Continue your efforts and you will soon obtain visible results.
