Eco-Friendly Skincare
Discover the 2024 trend of eco-friendly skincare as influencers embrace clean girl aesthetics, making beauty accessible and sustainable for all. Social media had become a chemistry class for a common person, using it from a less privileged area- a place with fewer resources and cheap fake copies of high-end brands that unknowingly harm the skin- more than they fix or glow it up. Not only this, the chemicals used in these skin care products (the fake and cheap ones) damage far more than just a few hundred customers.
They damage the planet-Ultimately making simple folk the butterfly effects needed for big environmental changes.
It is imperative that while social media is good exposure, one must always strive for quality over quantity. I assure you- if you just type skincare on the search bar of any of your social media platform, not hundred- but thousands of products will be shown- the responsibility falls on you- to research, read and aim for products that are good for both your skin and your planet- Products that are sustainable- green and ethical.
The question arises however- What are clean- sustainable, ethical and green products? How do we know that the products that we are choosing to beautify our skin- make it healthier wont damage the planet- how and why should we be more conscious.
Well- in simple terms, sustainable and green products are the products that are sourced from nature and natural ingredients. They are consciously and responsibly curated in a way that benefits you and the planet, keeping in mind all the hype about environmental degradation. While typical and conservative brands come with a hidden cost of environmental damage- clean green and sustainable products reduce that outcome and emphasize on nature’s cures, remedies and fixes. These products are usually designed in a way that suit all types of skin and hair, or all body types hence removing the need for customized products- and eventually customized damage that a person can cause to the environment,
The benefits of choosing green and clean products are not just environmental- they are also typically less harsh on your body and skin- cause fewer allergies and aggravate lesser sensitivity issues. More often than not, we ignore the ingredients on the pack- and eventually burn our skins or kill our cells but with green products those chances are a lot less likely.
Taking care of our skin- is the first step of taking care of our overall health as it is the barrier between the outside and the inside. Similarly, our one planet and its atmosphere is also our responsibility to love and nurture, pretty much like our skins, so that eventually it grows and glows.
As customers and followers of fast paced trends, we must acknowledge the responsibility that befalls us. We must always choose the products sourced from natural ingredients, something that will nurture our skin and won't damage the environment. We must send the message to the big companies that we are not just trend followers- we are educated and we are careful and responsible. We are here to heal what was so brutally broken and damaged in the wake of consumerism. In short, read the labels, do your research, and find products that are organic.
Find brands that are just .. Magic 😊
