How to Switch Your Skincare Routine to All-Natural and Organic Products

Glow Recipe’s Blueberry Bounce cleanser is the perfect everyday wet cleanser for all skin types. It can be used day or night, in the shower or at your sink. It cleanses the skin while simultaneously hydrating and plumping the skin to leave a K-beauty-worthy glow.

Micellar water doesn’t get much better than this one from Caudalie. It works well for all skin types and gently removes makeup and oil with just a swipe of a cotton pad. This solution also doubles as a toner to combat dullness and uneven texture.

If you’re someone who likes to double or triple cleanse and want to use an oil as the first step, this one from Boscia is the best start to your routine. It’s a lightweight, refreshing oil that gently melts away makeup without greasiness. It also simultaneously moisturizes your skin while you cleanse.

For a gentle cleanser that helps with redness, inflammation, and irritation, this Ren offering is a great option for all skin types. It has a creamy, milky formula that relieves rosacea and is suitable for sensitive skin. It also doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight or squeaky after cleansing, so you can go into the rest of your routine with a face that feels refreshed.

As someone who has used this exfoliant every night for the past year, I can confidently say that this one is a total game-changer. It’s an exfoliant that turns into a foam when it’s mixed with water so that it gently exfoliates the skin without stripping its moisture.

Formulated to benefit dry and combination skin types, this exfoliant works to combat dullness, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and dryness. Apricot microspheres gently exfoliate the skin to smooth over rough texture, while willow bark extract clears out pores, and olive oil moisturizes the skin.

If you love how your face looks after you get a peel during a facial, these exfoliating wipes from Go-To are the next best thing. The pads are soaked in an AHA serum that gently exfoliates your skin without penetrating the skin’s moisture barrier to combat acne, blemishes, dullness, and uneven texture.

This exfoliating treatment is the perfect blend between a mask and exfoliant. You can use it on damp skin and leave it on for a couple minutes, or just rinse it off the way you would with a normal exfoliant. Australian clay, finger lime, and macadamia shell powder work together to help diminish the appearance of pores, blemishes, and oiliness.

Heard of the “penis facial”? This BioEffect serum promises to deliver the same results as the facial for a fraction of the cost. You’ll be left with plump, youthful-looking skin worthy of a red carpet appearance.

Another vitamin C serum with a different fruit inspiration, this one from Volition is sure to leave your skin looking fresh and dewy. In addition to the strawberry extract, it also contains Kakadu plum and hyaluronic acid to make skin appear luminous and maintain the skin’s elasticity.

This serum uses the power of saffron to provide a solution for fine lines, uneven skin tone, discoloration, and loss of firmness and elasticity. It’s a lightweight formula that mixes well with other skincare, and can be used in both AM and PM routines.

P&L’s founder, Alicia Yoon, created this in-house line as a clean and natural skincare solution for her eczema, and this essence is a welcome addition to any routine. It’s a watery serum that works well as the first step of your regimen to soften and prep the skin for your next products. I strongly recommend using this right after you get out of the shower and/or after you wash your face at night. It’s especially effective after your pores have been opened by hot water.

If you’re acne-prone and need a toner that will help neutralize your skin, this one from Herbivore is a great match. Jasmine, willow bark, green tea, and witch hazel all work together to combat oiliness and lift impurities from the skin.

This multi-tasking toner can be used as a face primer, setting spray, and a facial mist throughout the day. The coconut extract, rose extract, and witch hazel are all crucial ingredients to help minimize dryness, redness, and uneven skin tone.

This light facial oil from Drunk Elephant is  an excellent addition to any skincare routine. It’s high in antioxidants to protect skin and enforce hydration.

Herbivore’s take on the CBD trend is a great one. Their Emerald facial oil works for combination and oily skin types to hydrate and make skin appear glowy without looking greasy.

This oil from Biossance is packed full of three super ingredients: squalane, vitamin C, and rose. Squalane is intensely hydrating, vitamin C is brightening, and rose is soothing to reveal dewy, plump skin.

This oil helps skin feel super smooth and even. Acai and goji berry protect the skin against free radicals, while squalane and prickly pear hydrate the skin and lock in moisture. Meanwhile, omega fatty acids and vitamin C brighten, and jojoba and sunflower oil illuminate.

This gel moisturizer plumps and hydrates skin without weighing it down. Ginseng and coffee bean help wake up your skin, making this the ideal moisturizer to add to your morning skincare routine.

This new addition to Tatcha’s Dewy product line is definitely a great one. Like other products from the line, it leaves skin glistening and glowy without feeling greasy or slick. The Dewy Skin Cream is intensely hydrating so it can be used day or night, and just a little product goes a long way.

Honey is well-known as a hydrating ingredient high in antioxidants, so all of Farmacy’s Honey Drop line is perfect for people looking to simultaneously moisturize and protect their skin.

This all-in-one moisturizer is the ultimate nighttime treatment to hydrate, plump, brighten, and firm the skin while you sleep. It is made with sandalwood nut oil, linseed extract, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and infuse the skin with serious moisture. It’s also certified organic by the USDA.

This plant-based balm is a great natural alternative to petroleum jelly and other treatments like Aquaphor, though it has the same consistency and same results. It’s a treatment designed to seal in wounds, heal rough patches on the skin, and instantly hydrate wherever it is applied.

Whenever you get a zit and need a spot treatment to zap it away, this gel from Origins is one that you can trust. Its key ingredient is saw palmetto, which helps control oil, reduces shine, and prevents future breakouts.

The eye area has some of the most delicate skin on your whole face, especially when it comes to sun damage. This eye cream is not only hydrating and replenishing, but it also has SPF in it to provide some extra protection.

Much like its corresponding face oil, this squalane and peptide-infused eye treatment is a lightweight, hydrating, and plumping serum suitable for the delicate area around your eyes. The gel formula feels weightless on the skin and also works to reduce puffiness, discoloration, and fine lines.

In my opinion, Sephora Collection’s skincare line is supremely underrated, especially for the price point-to-quality ratio. This eye cream is nourishing and moisturizing for the under eye to help relieve puffiness, dryness, and darkness.

While formulas are usually cream, Kora created this eye oil for people who need an extra boost of moisture in the under eye region. It helps smooth, tone, and brighten, especially if you have discoloration or any rough texture in that area.

This one is a no-brainer. It’s available at every drugstore and supermarket, and is well-loved for good reason. The beeswax in the formula is hydrating and works well to soothe and repair chapped lips. With continued use, it also helps prevent further damage to the lips.

Lips are often forgotten about when discussing sun protection, but SPF for your lips is definitely a must. Who better to turn to than everyone’s favorite sun care brand, Supergoop? The AcaiFusion Lip Balm is both sun protecting and moisturizing to help prevent sunburn—and soothe existing ones.

Though this product from Bite Beauty is marketed as a lip mask, it can be used everyday as a lip balm as well. The thick formula is effortlessly hydrating, and the moisturizing effects last long after the product itself has worn away. It can be worn alone as a gloss (especially in the tinted colors), or under your other lip products.

Like the corresponding moisturizer, this mask works really well for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin. It layers over your normal nighttime skincare to seal in all of the benefits of your products, while also delivering lasting hydration and oil control that will continue working throughout the day after the product has been washed off.

As far as exfoliating masks go, this is one of the best. It contains pumpkin to brighten the skin, oat kernel proteins for antioxidant power, and the apricot seed powder in it to gently exfoliate your skin as you rinse it off. After using, your skin looks fresh and bright, and is perfectly primed for your normal nighttime skincare.

This mask is wonderful if you’re looking to totally zone out and relax with a brightening mask on. The Violet-C mask is most effective when it’s worn for around 40 minutes so that your skin can absorb the benefits from the Japanese beauty berry, vitamin C, and AHAs from seven other fruits in it. It’s a thick, creamy formula that dries down and rinses off easily with warm water.
