Hey Google, why is my skin Pissed ?
Summer is fast approaching, and the season has a tendency to do a lasting number on my skin. The hot, humid weather is — in short — a recipe for clogged pores, dullness and making me a sweaty, oily mess. (No wonder my skin’s pissed.) Instead of freaking out and going to town with exfoliants, strong actives, and thick foundations, I’m hitting the clean girl aesthetic this year for the Au Naturale route with my skin and makeup routines. What started as a little experiment, has quickly turned into a full-on obsession with clean, natural products that made my skin look equally clean and natural. Here’s what I discovered:
P.S. If you’re afraid of leaving the house without makeup, these products will change your mind.
Mad Hippie
Makeup? No. I Woke Up Like This.
For just a kiss of color, this Mad Hippie Cheek + Lip Tint is perfect. The formula is brimming with antioxidants and hydrating jojoba oil and shea butter, so consider it a makeup-skincare hybrid. And they literally have the prettiest shades for fall.
Le Prunier
You’re Glowing, babes
Taking a step back from hard-hitting actives doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your glow. Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil brightens and locks in moisture with glow-boosting polyphenols, vitamins, and omega fatty acids.
On days when our complexion needs extra TLC, we’ll whip out the Banish Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. Pumpkin enzymes gently resurface the skin on their own but paired with deep cleaning glycolic acid and illuminating vitamin C, dullness becomes a ghost of skincare past.
Activist
Gentle Actives Advocate
Activist Skincare is clean and effective skincare that gives you the confidence to go nood. For your face, at least. Their products marry spa-like experiences with green, ethical formulas free of icky toxins.
100% Pure
My Skincare is Innocent
The queen bee of au naturale anything is 100% Pure. Their ingredients are purer than your pantry, and they nail their formulas every time. Start with the Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream to de-puff and naturally brighten. Fruit Pigmented Foundation is like your skin but better. It’s giving no makeup makeup.
Eidon's Ionic Minerals
Inside Out
Don’t forget to nourish your body from the inside out! This liquid silica from Edion Ionic Minerals supports collagen production and calcium ratios—both of which contribute to the physical effects of aging. Stay youthful, Noodies.
True Botanicals
Biocompatible Skincare for the Win
For skincare that’s just as holistic as you, there’s True Botanicals. Made with mind, body, and environment in mind, the brand fills in your skin’s nutrient gaps and supports the microbiome with functional plant actives. Any of their products will rescue your tired complexion. The At-Home Facialist Peel gives glass skin in less time than it takes you to fold your laundry, while the Repair Nightly Treatment is key for plump, juicy skin.
Noodie Secret Product
Better Be Batana
Put the synthetics aside for a month because this is all you need (when it’s not sold out). Similar to but more under-the-radar than shea butter, batana oil is one of those natural rarities that transforms damaged hair and troubled skin. We use it mostly for supporting visible hair health and growth because it reverses hair loss, stops breakage in its tracks, and deeply hydrates for thick, shiny locks.
