Holistic Beauty: Where to Start

Living a more natural life is something many people are now embracing, as it provides 
multiple benefits. You can save money, have access to all-natural products, and put 
less chemicals and additives in your body, on your skin, and in your hair. For holistic 
beauty, it is all about healing your entire body and using organic products, not just with 
beauty itself. Here are some ways you can start with a more natural approach to your 
beauty regimen.

Get Rid of Toxic Ingredients
If you want to have a more natural approach to your beauty and skin care regimen, it 
starts with what you are currently using. Now is the time to start getting rid of beauty 
products that you either don’t need, or that you know are not using natural ingredients. 
This doesn’t mean you can’t use anything you currently have, but you should be more 
conscious of the product, where it comes from, and what is in it. This is when you will 
become more familiar with labels and ingredients.

Check All Your Labels
As you might have guessed, you want to start reading your labels on all beauty and 
skincare products. It might not be realistic to go 100 percent organic and natural, but the 
closest you get, the better off you will be. After getting rid of any current toxic beauty 
products you have, start looking for other products you can get that have more natural 
ingredients. One thing to understand on labels is that “natural” or “organic” is subjective. 
These labels are not nearly as reliable as what you actually find in the ingredients.

Some Natural Ingredients to use at Home

There are two ways to use more natural skincare and beauty products: purchase them 
from the store and make them at home. It might not be realistic to make all your beauty 
products, but the more you can make at home, the more money you save. This also 
ensures that you know everything going into products you use on your skin and in your 
hair. 

Here is a list of natural ingredients that work wonders for your skin, hair, and nails:
Eggs 
bananas 
Avocados 
Raw honey 
Baking soda 
Activated charcoal 
Coconut oil 
Olive oil 
Sugar 
Salt 
Apple cider vinegar

You can make your own products with these and other simple ingredients that you find 
right in your own kitchen.
