When you run out of your face moisturizer, you write down the following day's plan: "visit to Rossmann", where you quite mechanically approach the shelf with facial cosmetics to reach for the cream you have been using for several months, or maybe even years. You haven't thought about its composition for a long time. You trust the popular brand and the inscription on the label that praises the product. All your visits to drugstores are done in this way - quick and mechanical. And there is nothing wrong with that! Most of us act this way. Today, however, we would like to convince you to leave this cosmetic comfort zone. Especially if you have consciously started looking for information about healthy cosmetics and how to switch to a skincare diet. Minimalist care involves discontinuing most of the products you have used so far so that your skin can rest from the excess of absorbed substances, breathe and regain strength. Those cosmetics that will remain in your cosmetic bag during the cosmetic detox should give your skin only what it really needs. We therefore encourage you to choose cosmetics that are as natural as possible.
The question that probably comes to your mind now is - what are these natural cosmetics? Well, these are cosmetic products obtained from ingredients of plant or mineral origin. They are often referred to as bio-cosmetics or the label "ecological cosmetics". They are based on essential oils, oils, herbal extracts and do not contain ingredients of animal origin or are not tested on them. Very often they have shorter expiration dates because they do not contain strong preservatives. We recommend that during your cosmetic detox, you use mainly natural cosmetics for your face and body. And here we have great news for you. In our country, you will find many great brands producing healthy and cheap natural cosmetics. We present you a few of them.
Ecology in fashion - discover natural cosmetics made in Poland
Pat&Rub is one of the first Polish brands producing natural cosmetics. Over a decade ago, they were introduced to the Polish market by Kinga Rusin, a journalist who is famous for her commitment to environmental protection and natural care. In the Pat&Rub offer, you will find all the products you need - day and night face creams, body lotions, shampoos and even products for children. All based on ecological, natural ingredients, which the brand is looking for all over the world. Pat&Rub cosmetics are not cheap, but it is worth paying a little more for these packages packed with natural goodness. We have already mentioned natural cosmetics from
Resibo many times on the blog. We do not hide the fact that we appreciate the amazing compositions of their products and beautifully designed packaging. Resibo cosmetics are a feast for the soul and body, and at favorable prices that most of us can easily afford. The founder of the brand, Ewelina Kwit-Betlej, looks for inspiration in the world of plants. In their impact on human health, beauty and well-being.
Would you rather give up cleansing cosmetics completely for the duration of your skincare diet? It's simple. Invest in a
GLOV glove, thanks to which washing your face has never been so easy. This reusable glove, made of soft microfibers, replaces 5 cosmetics - micellar fluid, face wash gel, scrub, toner and cotton pads are now unnecessary. Soaked in warm water, it will effectively and thoroughly remove makeup and impurities accumulated on your face throughout the day. The GLOV glove will last you up to 3 months of daily use. Then, you can use it, for example, as a dust cloth. If that's not ecology, we don't know what is! :)
Korean cosmetics - what do they owe their fame to?
After analyzing our Polish backyard, it is worth paying attention to the direction from which the skincare diet trend came to us. Korean cosmetics have been all the rage in Europe for a long time. Their popularity grew, of course, with the emergence of the craze for 10-step care. And it was Korean women who were the first to notice that their complicated beauty care system can have side effects in the form of irritated, dry and dull skin. Due to their natural ingredients, Korean cosmetics will also work well in minimalist care. First, let's answer the question of what their phenomenon really is.
Korean cosmetics (like all Asian cosmetics) have a higher content of exotic nutrients, which are still hard to find in our domestic products. Their natural compositions and unique properties make them additionally desirable among European women. You can find a wide selection of Korean cosmetics
in the online store . One of the most popular Korean brands is the
Banila Co brand and its international bestseller, the sorbet cleansing oil. Packed in beautiful, pastel packaging (each color is intended for a different type of skin), it has an equally beautiful interior packed with vitamin C and E. It does not contain artificial dyes, alcohol, parabens or mineral oil. Its consistency is initially a solid state, which turns into a milky fluid upon contact with the skin.
TonyMoly cosmetics can be recognized by their cute, funny packaging - the serum is packed in a panda bear, the masks in an egg-shaped packaging and the lip balms look like real, juicy fruits. TonyMoly is a kawaii brand - its products are a perfect combination of the latest technology, natural ingredients and originality. If you still have a little girl inside you who you like to please, then this is definitely a cosmetic brand for you.
Homemade, natural cosmetics - or how the DIY trend will affect your complexion
As a child, did you love playing a little chemist and mixing different products to create pastes and ointments of different consistencies? Use this childhood curiosity in adulthood and create your own natural cosmetics - in the privacy of your own bathroom and kitchen. Your home is a treasure trove of natural ingredients from which you can "prepare" fantastic, nourishing concoctions, which we have already written about
in one of the articles on the skincare diet trend. You can raise your DIY home cosmetics to a higher level thanks to professional ingredients that you can buy, for example,
in an online store . This website is a mine of various cosmetic ingredients, such as herbal oils, hydrolates, plant extracts, extracts, and even hydroxy acids. Don't be afraid that you will be left without tips. On ZrobSobieKrem.pl you will also find numerous recipes that you can easily repeat yourself at home.
Mineral cosmetics - or skincare diet makeup
Skincare products are not the only products you put on your face. If you put on makeup every day, you cover it with layers and substances that it has to absorb. We are not encouraging you to give up makeup. We know that for many of us it is an essential part of everyday life (oh, that face-slimming bronzer). However, it is worth considering the color cosmetics you use and turning your attention to... mineral cosmetics. Mineral makeup cosmetics are color cosmetics composed of a small amount of only mineral, delicate ingredients such as iron oxide, zinc oxide, mica or titanium dioxide. Mineral cosmetics do not contain any unwanted substances - waxes, oils, preservatives or fragrances. It is nature itself arranged into a colorful whole.
Mineral cosmetics are also appreciated by professional makeup artists.
Marta Podbielska , makeup artist, praises their additional care factor for our skin:
"We hear a lot about minerals and mineral cosmetics these days. Their advantage over classic color cosmetics is that, in addition to the visual effect, they provide your skin with additional care. They contain, among other things, zinc oxide, which has antibacterial properties."
One of Marta's favorite mineral brands is the Polish brand
Annabelle Minerals . These are mineral cosmetics that are 100% natural, contain UVA and UVB filters and consist of only 4 ingredients. Mica provides a brightening effect, zinc oxide will mattify your skin, titanium dioxide provides excellent coverage, and ultramarine will add your favorite color to your eye shadows. Care in the spirit of skincare diet is really very simple. In it, be guided not only by the limitation of the cosmetics used, but also by their composition. Choose natural cosmetics with a short INCI composition, and emphasize your beauty with minerals. We guarantee that your skin will thank you for this effort.
