My mom often shared stories about her grandmother, a determined and kind-hearted woman. She never used any chemicals on her skin—not even soap or shampoo. She avoided talcum powder, moisturizer, and only visited hospitals as a last resort. For cleaning, she insisted on using ash instead of detergent for the dishes.
I followed her approach to skincare and avoided waxing, threading, facials, and other common beauty routines of my peers. I applied kitchen ingredients to my face and body to achieve a natural glow. Now in my late 30s, I have a daughter who enjoys applying fruits to her skin, like I did. Thankfully, we both have healthy skin free from the complications often caused by chemical products.
Though chemical facials, Botox treatments, and other procedures have become the norm, there is a shift towards natural and organic skincare. People are slowly embracing chemical-free products, which show positive results over time without the side effects of chemical-based ones.
Chemical-free products are plant-based, non-toxic, and devoid of preservatives. These natural ingredients like fruits, oils, vegetables, grains, and herbs provide long-term benefits without harming the skin. In contrast, synthetic products may deliver instant results but often clog pores, cause irritation, and lead to breakouts.
People are also becoming increasingly aware of the harm done to animals through product testing, opting for cruelty-free brands, and making mindful choices by reading ingredient lists and checking labels. Natural products are not only gentle on your skin but also environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
Recently, I discovered Pure Sense Body Spray while searching for a chemical-free option. I chose the Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Spray, which was perfect for my sensitive skin, free of parabens, sulphates, and other harmful chemicals. Plus, it’s cruelty-free and eco-friendly.
As natural skincare brands continue to rise and prioritize customer needs, people are becoming more conscious about avoiding harmful ingredients and steroids. Let’s commit to using natural, plant-based skincare products to keep our skin happy and healthy.
