Your skin (especially the skin on your face) is exposed to external factors such as the sun, dust, dirt, water and sweat all day long. Because of this your skin can dry out and get damaged. It is important to take good care of your skin and what better way to do that than with natural facial care products? Many regular facial care products contain harmful ingredients that only give your skin a harder time.
For example, many care products contain SLS (a chemical that affects the protective layer of your skin), parabens (chemicals that disrupt hormones), alcohol (which dries out the skin) and triclosan (a synthetic substance that is associated with the impairment of fertility), just to name a few ingredients. All ingredients that you would rather not have near your skin and which emphasizes the importance of a natural facial care routine.
In addition, most natural facial care products are vegan & cruelty-free. At Zo Zero , all facial care products are vegan & not tested on animals.
In fact, all normal facial care products are available in a natural variant. Think of natural face masks, natural facial cleansers such as toners and scrubs, natural creams and serums, natural lip balms and reusable organic cotton pads.
Not only having a natural facial care routine is important, also the order in which you use the vegan facial care products. By using the products in the correct order, you ensure that the products are able to do what they need to. It is not necessary to follow the whole routine on a daily basis, start with a cleanser, face cream, and SPF. If you have very dry skin, add a serum or facial oil. And for the real die-hards, here's the right order for the optimal natural facial care routine:
It is important to always start by cleansing your face. Do this both at night and in the morning. Remove make-up and dirt so that your skin is completely clean before starting the rest of your vegan facial care routine.
Use a natural facial scrub 2 to 4 times a week to remove dead skin cells from your face. This reduces the chance of wrinkles and pimples and makes your skin glow more.
Use a natural face mask 2 to 3 times a week. Using a face mask narrows the pores and helps fight blackheads and prevent pimples.
A natural toner is important to remove the last remainders of dirt from your face. In addition, a toner soothes and protects your skin and helps to restore the pH value of your skin. An indispensable step in your natural facial care.
On a daily basis use a light serum (without oil) to protect your skin from free radicals in air pollution during the day and use a nourishing serum with hyaluronic acid at night to hydrate your skin. Note that the UpCircle facial serum contains oil and is therefore used as a facial oil after your day or night cream (see step 8).
You can also apply natural day cream under your eyes, but because the skin under your eyes is thinner, you can also use special natural eye cream. Eye cream is often thinner than face cream, which is why you apply it under your face cream.
Finally it's time to moisturise your face with a natural day or night cream. The cream will keep your skin hydrated and lock in all the other layers you've used before.
Use a natural facial oil, or an oil-based serum, after all other natural facial care products, as the other products will not be able to get through the oil. UpCircle's oil-based serum provides intense nourishment and hydration and is the perfect finishing touch to your vegan facial care.
And last but not least: protect your skin from the sun. This is perhaps the most important step in your natural facial care routine. By protecting your skin from UV radiation, you can prevent cancer and skin aging. If your natural day cream doesn't contain SPF, use sunscreen. You can use the mineral SPF after the natural facial oil, because you are only applying it to protect your skin and not to nourish or moisturize your skin.
At Zero you will only find natural facial care products from brands that do their best to use as little (bio) plastic as possible. With beauty products this is sometimes not 100% possible, but companies can at least do their best!
For this reason you will, for example, not find products of the brand Naïf. Naïf sells beautiful products with only good ingredients and Naïf is a B Corp, but Naïf's products are packaged in bioplastic. We are not a fan of using bioplastic for products for which there is an alternative, because bioplastic lasts almost as long in nature as conventional plastic. That is why we choose not to sell products packaged in bioplastic, such as those from Naïf.
At Zo Zero you will find vegan facial care by UpCircle, Flawless and HelemaalShea. In addition, we offer natural lip care by Le Papier, LO Amsterdam and Valley Mist.
