Why Clean Beauty?
Over the next 30 days, you’ll gradually replace your existing skincare products with natural, non-toxic alternatives. You’ll also learn that HBNO essential oils can be a key part of your clean beauty routine. Whether you’re new to clean beauty or skeptical of chemical-filled skincare products, this challenge will get you cleared out of old beauty products, curate for you a natural beauty regime that is working, and refine your skincare routine for healthier, better skin.
Week 1: Detox Your Skincare Routine
Day 1: Take Inventory
Before going further, you should have a look at all the skincare products you have been using at the moment. When it comes to chemicals that you need to avoid look at parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances as well as phthalates. This is what you should avoid when it comes to clean beauty products in your life.
List the products you’re replacing at each point during the challenge.
Day 2: Switch to a Clean Cleanser
Traditional cleansers will strip the oil from your skin. Choose a natural, sulfate, and synthetic fragrance-free product. Ingredients to look for include aloe vera and chamomile, plus gentle HBNO essential oils; tea tree, or lavender, which will cleanse skin without irritating it.
Day 3: Upgrade Your Moisturizer
Change your old moisturizer for a non-toxic one using natural ingredients like shea butter, HBNO jojoba oil, or squalane. Clean beauty moisturizers are hydrating, without clogging.
Day 4: Incorporate Natural Serums
Replace your serum with something in clean beauty like vitamin C as a brightening serum or hyaluronic acid for moisturization or even the HBNO essential oils such as frankincense for anti-aging.
Day 5: Clean Beauty Sunscreen
What is important is to use sunscreen, but most formulas contain toxic chemicals. Avoid irritating the skin with a mineral-type sunscreen such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Day 6: DIY Face Mask
Do a simple DIY mask for the skin! For a soothing, hydrating mask, mix plain yogurt and honey and a drop of lavender essential oil from HBNO.
Day 7: Reflect on Week 1
Congratulations! You’ve already done some clean beauty swaps you know. Notice your skin’s feeling taking note of the progress you’ve made so far.
Week 2: Set out to expand your clean beauty routine.
Day 8: Find a Non-Toxic Toner
Skip the alcohol-based toners and use a natural toner comprised of rosewater, witch hazel, or aloe vera. They balance your skin’s pH without stripping it.
Day 9: Switch to a Clean Eye Cream
But when shopping for an eye cream, for example, one with cucumber or frankincense essential oil, that will brighten and rejuvenate your eyes, look out for one without synthetic chemicals.
Day 10: Essential Oils for Spot Treats
Instead of hitting yourself in the face with harsh acne treatments such as retinol, try HBNO essential oils such as tea tree or lavender. Instead of drying out your skin, these natural antibacterial agents help reduce inflammation.
Day 11: Natural Exfoliation
Do not use synthetic materials for exfoliants or featured beads known as microbeads. A clean beauty exfoliator with sugar, oatmeal, or fruit enzymes should do the trick and get rid of dead skin cells on yourself.
Day 12: Clean Body Lotion
Switch to a natural body lotion using shea butter, coconut oil, or essential oil. It’s best to avoid lotions with parabens, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances.
Day 13: Clean Haircare
Sulfates and silicones are sometimes included in shampoos and conditioners. Pick some clean beauty shampoo and conditioner with no harsh chemicals and simply natural ingredients.
Day 14: Reflect on Week 2
You’re halfway through! Think back about the new products you’ve launched and how they affected your skin. Well, you’re well on your way down your clean beauty journey.
Week 3: Advanced Clean Beauty Enhances Your Routine
Day 15: Discover Facial Oils
With clean ingredients, like Jojoba oil or rosehip oil facial oils actually can be nourishing. These won’t work if your skin is totally dehydrated, in that case, you can apply some HBNO essential oils like Neroli or Ylang ylang, which will render hydration and glow.
Day 16: Lip Care
Use a natural lip balm with beeswax or coconut oil. If you are willing to gonna do it yourself lip scrub then use sugar & honey to soften and smooth your lips.
Day 17: Clean Makeup
Makeover your makeup using non-toxic options. Foundation, concealer, and blusher; look for natural pigments. Luckily, many clean beauty brands sell eco-friendly, effective makeup.
Day 18: Sustainable Packaging
Go for (clean) beauty brands that use recyclable or refillable packaging. It’s also a great way to make sustainable choices that are also great for your skin.
Day 19: Clean Deodorants
There are also conventional deodorants containing aluminum and synthetic fragrances. Thus, today switch to a natural deodorant like baking soda or coconut oil.
Day 20: Multi-Use Products
They can help you simplify your routine, being multi-purpose products. Facial oil miracles can happen for your body as well, and if you like to tint your lips and cheeks use tinted balms.
Day 21: Reflect on Week 3
You’re almost done! Now that you’ve done that, your beauty routine should be lighter and healthier. Embrace how far you’ve come and get ready for the final week of clean beauty swaps.
Week 4: Final Refinements
Day 22: Hydration Boost
Add a hydrating mist or serum to your regimen. If you are looking for a natural dewy look, look for hyaluronic acid or essential oil such as rose oil.
Day 23: Night Routine
Keep an eye out for the harmful chemicals in your night cream. Promote skin regeneration using natural ingredients such as bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative.
Day 24: Makeup Removal
Use a natural oil-based cleanser, or micellar water that won’t harm your skin, and removes your makeup.
Day 25: Essential Oils for Sleep
To help you get a good night’s sleep, and promote skin overnight repair process, you can incorporate HBNO essential oils like lavender, chamomile, etc during your evening routine.
