How to Create a Skin Care Routine Using Plant-Based Products?

A proper plant-based skincare regimen is crucial for maintaining healthy, glowing skin because what you do currently will also impact your skin’s condition in the future. While a good regimen should be included in everyone’s daily routine, there are different skin care products for each skin type.

Buying good skin-care products isn’t enough. You should also apply your products in the correct order for them to be effective. Your skincare routine will be determined by your skin type, product ingredients and formulations, and the time of day.

Building a skincare routine

Knowing your skin type is the first step in creating an effective skincare routine. Do you have sensitive, dry, combination, or oily skin?

Whether you have a three-step or a nine-step morning skincare routine, there’s one thing everyone can do to improve their skin: apply products in the correct order. Regardless of your skin concerns, start with a clean base, followed by potent and efficacious natural products for skin care —and, of course, SPF during the day as the last step in your skincare routine.

1. Cleansing

The face wash is a simple first step to get you started in your skincare journey. While many may think using water is enough to clean your face, with face wash, the dirt, oil, and urban pollutants are also removed. Similarly, cleansers or a face wash are a staple step in skincare routines, especially for makeup-wearers as it is designed to remove impurities, germs, dirt, and makeup that can irritate the skin.

If you’re looking for an effective plant-based beauty product for cleansing, check out the Anti-Blemish Facewash by Plant Science.

Loaded with anti-oxidant properties, this face wash contains bioactive flavonoids derived from neem, lemon, and vetiver.

2. Eye Treatment

Eye creams are also considered part of treating your face. Use your ring finger to delicately tap and massage on a formula specific to your eye-area issues since it avoids tugging on delicate skin and causing damage.

3. Moisturizer/Creams

Face moisturizers keep your facial skin hydrated and healthy by creating a protective barrier on your skin. Some moisturizers even help protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Then there are heavier formulas like moisturizers, which help to keep skin hydrated and strengthen its barrier. A good moisturizer hydrates and moisturizes the skin while also locking in all of the other products you’ve used.  Along with moisturizers, face creams can make your skin look energized, bright, and clean as well. Face creams are a lighter source of hydration as compared to creams. But, as the body’s largest organ, our skin needs a moisturizer to increase hydration irrespective of skin type; which is why people of all skin types should apply a moisturizing cream every morning and night.

Most experts agree you should use a facial moisturizer that fits your skin concern. Check out these plant-based moisturizers and face creams by Plant Science for different skin concerns. Plant Science also offers various cruelty-free beauty products delivered across India.

4. Sun Protection

It’s the most crucial step in any skincare routine, regardless of skin type or age. The sun is the leading cause of the increased ageing of our skin, and the harm isn’t just cosmetic, no matter what your skin color is. Make sure you go out wearing full sleeves or not getting out during peak times like 12-2 or even use caps and umbrellas. So always ensure you follow your skin care routine consistently and follow up with an anti-ageing cream at the end of the day before you go to sleep.

Take care of your skin  

You may not give your skin care routine much thought, but the truth is that you should. Your skin is the main part of your body that comes in contact with the outside world working tirelessly to protect the body from hazardous elements. We know it may be difficult to keep up with an entire skin care routine so try incorporating one step at a time into your week and don’t confuse yourself with a lot of things.

Taking care of your skin consistently and following a skin care routine is important since it can help your skin look healthier and have an everlasting glow. A daily skincare routine – morning and night; is the first step toward healthy glowing skin that everybody will keep raving about. And don’t forget to choose safe, plant-based hair and skin care products.
