If you’re finding yourself with some time on your hands as the winter has set in and you’re staying cosy, self-care becomes an obsession. If that’s the case, then get ready for a little virtual around-the-world tour, focusing on popular natural skincare brands that are killing it at the moment. Because natural is ALWAYS better.
Korean Skincare
Korean skincare has taken centre stage in the last few years and for good reason! The undeniable beauty and seemingly everlasting youthfulness of Korean women is a huge factor as to why Korean skincare keeps growing in popularity and is taking over the western beauty industry. What’s more, Korean skincare is not outrageously priced and is often fun and playful with visible results. Here is our top pick:
Glow Recipe: Yes! One of our favourite Korean skincare brands can be found at your local Sephora! Glow Recipe is known for its fruit-infused series of products and we can’t seem to get enough of those delicious aromas. We recommend their best-seller Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask, which also contains coffeeberry and encapsulated retinol, which helps moisturise, de-puff and brighten that area.
African Skincare
South African skincare is all about using local products and ingredients that come from African soil. Ingredients such as Baobab extracts, Jojoba oils and shea butter are commonly found in South African skincare products. Let’s not kid ourselves, who wouldn’t want smooth, silky and dewy skin?
Skin Creamery: Skin Creamery is a minimalist and natural South African skincare brand. Their ingredients are focused and simple but delivery incredible results. Just read the reviews, seriously! They might have a rather narrow range of products, but the ones that they do have work incredibly well. From cleansers to multi-purpose powder to a rich serums, their products are fun and versatile. We love their Facial Hydrating oil, its rich texture and divine scent, intertwined with the progression of visibly great results is all we need. Made with jojoba oil, baobab extracts and Kalahari melon seeds, this oil is a combination of healing, protective and regenerative.
European Skincare
European skincare has been popular for decades, and it shows no signs of slowing down! Generally, European skincare brands focus more on products such as anti-aging serums and moisturisers and sun protection lotions.
Gisou: This particular brand was created by Dutch influencer Negin Mirsalehi, who had been perfecting a home-made hair oil for years. Infused with honey and deeply moisturising, this hair oil also smells divine and is, of course, picture perfect!
US Skincare
American skincare is popular worldwide. Brands often come up with innovative and culturally relevant products and packaging that are instantly appealing to a large number of people. Products are often not fussy and simply packaged.
The Ordinary: The Ordinary is a Quebec-based brand that has taken the skincare industry by storm! Their products are super minimalist, like it sometimes does not even explain how to use the products because its up to the consumer to do some research on the products they might specifically need. They are very affordable and that’s due to their simple, no-fuss packaging and blend of ingredients. They have a wide variety of products that tackle all sorts of skincare issues and often their products may also be combined. Just be careful, some ingredients don’t mix well so make sure you do your research beforehand! Our favourite pick is the Rose-Hip oil, which is moisturising and brightening at the same time without leaving the skin feeling clogged or greasy.
Canadian Skincare
Similar to American skincare, the Canadian counterpart is non-fussy, straight to the point and minimalist. And we love it!
Glossier: Glossier has been on my bucket list for ages. You cannot miss all the rave comments, reviews and mentions dedicated to the brand! They literally made skincare look sexy, if that’s possible. Glossier is widely known for their Moon Jelly Cleanser and their Boy Brow Grooming Pomade. Revered by influencers and beauty fanatics alike, their Moon Jelly Cleanser can be found in many a-beauty-shelf. A high-powered make-up remover and a gentle texture are only some of the reasons as to why this product is so popular.
Winter is here and while we are spending a lot of time indoors, we may as well treat ourselves to some self-care. Creating a new healthy routine through the pandemic could be a great way to adapt to our new normal, and that starts with changing our buying behaviours! The new world of fashion calls for natural skin care brands, and we are here to deliver!
