It’s amazing when you look, how beautiful the earth is. Sure most know the earth is beautiful but we seldom take the time to actually take it in and admire it. What’s crazier than this, is that we don’t think to turn to the earth when it comes to our skincare. Instead of solving our skin issues naturally and treating our skin to good, natural ingredients, we turn to chemicals. But these chemicals are dangerous and bad for the environment. (Not to mention how many countless, poor animals are tested on in the process.) That’s why I’m turning to the earth for healthier skin. It’s better for me, the earth and no animals are harmed in the making!

Turning to the Earth For Healthier Skin
// Before getting into this post, I just want to state that all thoughts and opinions within this post are my own. //
I’m always trying new skincare products. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that there are so many unique, natural skincare shops on the market! With so many to choose from, I don’t want to not test the waters, so to speak. How could I not, it’s just too tempting! Today I’d like to talk about why turning to the earth for healthier skin is the smartest thing you can do and in doing so, share a couple of amazing products to get you started. It can be daunting understanding what’s okay to use on your skin and what’s not. Then of course you must begun the search to find the right brands that are naturally based. I made this transition a couple years ago and have learned so much through the years, so I’m here to help!
So why should I turn to the earth for skincare products?
As blogger of “The Green Life” put is so effectively, “Skin is the body’s largest organ. It absorbs about 60-70% of what we feed it with. What we put on our skin makes its way into our blood, tissues and organs, and therefore has an impact on our health just as much as, if not more than what we put in our mouth.If you are putting toxic chemicals on your skin, I’m sorry to tell you that you are inevitably making yourself toxic.”
If you want to read more about the dangers of chemical-based skin/beauty care products, than I highly suggest you search through Google and turn to more sources, as I’m not an expert on the topic. I simply believe based on the information I’ve been exposed to, that all-natural is the way to go! If you do however, arrive to the same conclusion that I have, than allow me to share with you a couple products I love, to get you started with a new, greener skincare routine!
Why I like Klei Beauty:
Klei Beautie’s products are made from the earth, for the self. All natural and cruelty-free, made in small-batches from natural ingredients. It’s very evident that when using Klei products, you receive something made with a certain care you can’t buy from larger, more mainstream beauty brands. When I use these masks or scrubs it feels right knowing I’m doing my skin good by using these products. I know exactly what I’m applying to my skin, no mystery involved. And even better, I know these products are good for the environment and no animals were harmed in the making because their cruelty-free.
I believe skincare products should be made this way and that’s why I like Klei Beauty. It’s very clear that they are a brand with integrity, who put the utmost care into their products and the ingredients they contain. If this sounds like something you’d like to follow after, than allow me share with you below my favorite products of theirs that I’ve been testing out!
A couple of my favorite products from Klei Beauty:
The Polish Scrub
The Polish Scrub is best used if your skin is in need of a little exfoliation and softening. It does this by containing ingredients like Coconut Shell powder, Coconut Milk and Hibiscus. The Coconut Shell powder provides a gentle exfoliation, without damaging skin while the Coconut Milk nourishes and the Hibiscus contains AHAs, which help exfoliate and soften skin. Great for all skin types. This formula is perfect for those who prefer a moderate exfoliation.
To use it, mix 1 tsp of powder gradually with water, until a thick paste is formed. Apply paste to face in circular motions, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Rinse off with warm water.
The Nourish Mask
This mask packs a major punch, but in a good way! Filled with so many good for you ingredients including Coconut Milk, Honey, Calendula and French Rose Clay, they work together to help soften your skin so it looks and feels it’s best. The Nourish Mask is made to soothe and soften your skin so it truly feels nourished!
To use it, mix 1 tsp of powder gradually with water, until a paste is formed. Apply a thin layer to face after cleansing, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Once dry, rinse off with warm water.
The Uplift Floral Facial Steam
Floral facial steam’s are becoming increasingly popular and well known for their benefits! That’s why I selected and decided to try Klei Beautie’s Uplift Floral Facial Steam. It’s a beautiful blend of scents that create the perfect, relaxing experience. From Grapefruit, to Lemon and Orange peels, together they create a bright and fresh aroma, in a base of calming floral buds and petals. Facial steams are experiencing a boost in popularity because of their benefits to the skin. They help to open the pores, and prepare the skin for further treatments, with the added benefits of aromatherapy!
Add a cap-full to a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to cool slightly, then place a towel over your head to create a steam tent. Breathe deeply and enjoy.
