Nontoxic Skincare Routine
I love my skincare routine. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin on my face when I’m consistent with using these daily and weekly. Our skin is our largest organ and it absorbs everything we put on it, so keeping your skincare as clean and toxin free as possible will actually make a huge difference for your skin.
Daily products in order:
Morning
I double cleanse with Root’s Fresh Face Grapefruit + Charcoal Clearing Cleanser. Then using the Pretty Polishing Mitt, I gently exfoliate with a pea size amount of Pure Glow Jasmine + Grapefruit Organic Beauty Balm. Every few days I add Bakuchiol + Vitamin C Renewing Moisturizer
Before I brush ny teeth and do my morning meditation, I put on Organic Peppermint + Willow bark clarifying toner and Lime + Peppermint Organic Facial Mist to prep the skin for easy application of this powerful anti-aging duo Retinol Alternative of Bakuchiol + Hyaluronic Acid Serum (put on first) and Bakuchiol + Vitamin E Serum. Applying all over a misted damp face, letting that dry and soak in while I do my meditation. I also put whatever is leftover on my neck and hands. This combo is your ultimate anti aging duo. Using together is like a powerhouse for fine lines and wrinkles. I’ve noticed a big difference on my forehead using this consistently day and night.
Then I apply some Antioxidant Boost Pomegranate + Blue Algae Revive Eye Cream.
Before I put on my makeup for the day, I put on some Organic Rose Otto + Rosehip Beauty Sleep Perfecting Serum gently pressing it all over my face and neck while I do my Gua Sha Routine using my Gua Sha. You can find how I do that here. Gua sha is my favorite tool to use because it drains the lymphatic system in the face, soothes the nervous system, lifts, stimulates collagen in the face and helps erase wrinkles. I notice a difference when I don’t use it for a few days. It’s truly is the best beauty tool in my option. To step up my Gua Sha game, I switch the oils here and there while I use my Gua sha. I also love to use Herbivore Botanicals Mini Facial Oil Trio. I blend Phoenix and Orchid together and it is heavenly! I love that all the oils I use are nontoxic, natural, vegan, cruelty free, and free from synthetic ingredients.
My last step every day and night is to apply Clear Peppermint Pretty Balm. It has saved my chapped lips.
For my daily SPF, I use liquid minerals Pretty Booster+ which acts like a tinted moisturizer, gives me sun protection and many skin nourishing benefits while also being a lightweight foundation. It’s my favorite!
Night
At night I switch the double cleansing and do the Pure Glow Jasmine + Grapefruit Organic Beauty Balm first as a makeup remover and then cleanse again with Antioxidant Boost Pomegranate + Carrot Cream Cleanser using the Pretty Polishing Mitt
I put on some Organic Peppermint + Willow bark clarifying toner and Lime + Peppermint Organic Facial Mist before applying the Retinal Alternative Duo Bakuchiol + Hyaluronic Acid Serum (put on first) and Bakuchiol + Vitamin E Serum. And my eye cream.
If I’m feeling extra dry I will add Pure Glow Jasmine + Grapefruit Organic Beauty Balm as an extra hydrating mask.
Weekly Products:
-3x a week I exfoliate my face using Organic Coconut + Peppermint Sugar Scrub
-1x a week I will do a self care routine of :
Vanity Planet Steamer and rinse.
I love doing this steamer. It’s like having a spa day at home. It hydrates the skin, opens the pores for better absorption and they have an extra piece you can put essential oils into so you can have the therapeutic effects along with it. I love breathing that in and having a self care spa day.After I rinse, I love to put on this Vitamin C Paper Mask using my Rose Quartz Roller to really get it into the skin. Vitamin C always makes my skin glow and this mask is my absolute favorite when it comes to nontoxic sheet masks. I also use my roller in the morning straight from the fridge before I do anything to get any inflammation down and stimulate my vagus nerve through cold exposure on the face. Just roll it all around in an outward motion toward your hairline. I’ll share a tutorial on this soon too. Be sure to follow me on Instagram and subscribe to this blog so you don’t miss anything.
-1-2x week I love to do Root’s Peppermint + Kaolin Toning Mud Mask because it’s tightening and smells so invigorating! The quality of this mask is unmatched. I put it in the fridge to make it last longer and putting it on nice and cold is soothing and wakes you up. I love it.
I also really love any oil from Living Libations! All nontoxic, cruelty free, eco friendly and Reef safe. Made with botanicals and beautiful ingredients. I’m really starting to love them now too.
I just recently received Beauty Blend 01 Bakuchiol Reverse Wrinkle Spot Treatment and I’m trying to be more consistent with that too! I’ll let you know what I think!

Full transparency, this routine is my intention each week, but I don’t always do all of it. I just do my best to make it a habit and I am doing better! Having a structure helps so it starts to become second nature. Set an alarm for a specific time each night, have all your products lined up in order so it’s easy and quick, put everything in a place you see it so you’re reminded to do it, put self care spa day in your calendar…those little things will help you be more consistent. Just remember to be gentle with yourself and just do your best. I am far from perfect with my routine, but I do notice a difference when I stick to it. I hope you found some items you’re excited to add to your skincare routine. I love having the peace of mind knowing it’s all nontoxic. You’re not absorbing toxic chemicals into your blood stream and negatively affect the health of not only your whole body, but your skin as well. I’m so glad I made the switch to nontoxic skincare because my skin is definitely thanking me for it. If you have any questions, let me know! I’m grateful you’re here and absolutely love sharing what I use to inspire you and/or help you live your healthiest life. Cheers to naturally beautifully skin!
