5 indispensable products for natural cosmetics enthusiasts

The demand for natural cosmetics continues to increase. According to Roskachestvo, last year almost half of Russians preferred environmentally friendly cosmetics, despite the high prices. Buyers choose this not only for ethical reasons, but also because natural products are softer and gentler on the skin. And as we know, demand creates supply. For this reason, the number of brands producing natural cosmetics is increasing every year. For example, not so long ago the Greek brand Korres, the Swiss Mettler 1929 with almost 100 years of history, and the Italian Gioiello Liquido came to the Russian market. We invite you to get to know the brands’ products better and add new products to your beauty shelf.

Stage #1: Cleaning

The first step in any maintenance is cleaning. Therefore, your primary task is to choose the right product that suits your skin’s needs. It can be a gel, balm or mousse. And although the latter is generally believed to dry the skin, this depends on the product and its composition. For example, Greek yoghurt, known for its calming effect, was added to the Korres foam formula, as well as pre- and probiotics. What’s missing from the formula is soap. The product is therefore suitable even for sensitive skin – it cleanses gently, does not cause irritation and consists of 92.7% natural ingredients.

Stage No. 2: Toning

The second important stage of any beauty routine that many forget is toning. Why is this step so important? In this process, we remove any remaining dirt on the skin and prepare the epidermis for moisturizing. Thanks to toner, there is no barrier between the skin and subsequent care products, so they work more effectively. You need to choose a tonic like any other, paying attention to the needs of the skin. For example, for combination or oily skin, a lotion based on natural components of cinnamon, witch hazel and banana from the natural brand Mettler 1929 is suitable. It helps normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and cleanse the pores without leaving a feeling of dryness.

Step #3: Moisturize

The moisturizing phase traditionally begins with a serum or essence (we wrote here what this product is and why we need it). In just a few years, serum has gone from a product no one knew about to a product you can’t imagine your beauty routine without. It increases the effectiveness of the moisturizer and works for almost every skin problem. Always opt for liquid intake unless you know which one you need right now. For example, the Mettler 1929 serum contains hyaluronic acid, iris and Icelandic moss extracts, which maintain optimal moisture supply in the cells and soothe the skin.

After the serum, there is always a cream – we learned this rule like two times two. The cream seems to lock in moisture and form a protective layer on the skin. Therefore, the serum does not evaporate and works together with the cream, increasing its effectiveness. The Korres product formula contains salicylic acid, which regulates sebum production and gently exfoliates, and hyaluronic acid, which retains moisture in the skin and makes it more elastic. This cream is universal and suitable for all skin types.

An additional step worth adding in the moisturizing phase for those who really need it is a mask. It should be used three times a week. And if you want to enhance the process, you will definitely like Gioiello Liquido’s natural mask with shimmering gold particles. It transforms dull skin and restores its natural shine and healthy color.
