Sometimes finding products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and actually effective can be a challenge. But there is no need to sacrifice your complexion; these products do it all. Get ready for the best skin of your life!
Alba Botanica Acnedote Deep Pore Wash
If you struggle with acne or problematic skin, this is one product you have to try. Free from harsh sulfates, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, parabens and phthalates are just great for your skin and crazy effective. This entire brand is full of great products, and the website is super user-friendly. You can search by the type of product you’re looking for or the type of skin worry you are experiencing.
Hawaiian Facial Scrub
It is no surprise the second product on this list is also from the same brand. For days when you are craving a bit of exfoliation, this product is gentle, moisturizing, and and it smells great. It is even gentle enough to use every day if you would like.
Cupcake Fresh Face Mask
LUSH is another great brand to try for vegan and environmentally friendly products. They have a wide range of products for face, hair, shower, bath, fragrance – and now they are expanding into makeup! The Cupcake Fresh Face Mask is definitely a fan favorite for absorbing oil, softening and gently cleansing skin (also it smells like chocolate, so it really cannot get any better.) It is marketed toward oily or troubled skin to calm redness and deeply cleanse.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs & Rosewater
This product is perfect for so many different uses – it is basically the only product you will ever need. It is a refreshing, hydrating mist, perfect to use under or over makeup for a quick pick-me-up if your skin is feeling dehydrated or tight. You can also use it to set makeup and to freshen up throughout the day because it gives your skin a healthy dewy look. It is also extremely gentle and non-irritating.
Grapeseed Oil
Lastly, if you have never tried swapping your cream moisturizer for oil, you should. A lot of people are afraid of putting oils on their skin because they already have oily skin. However, if your skin is overproducing oil, that actually means it needs oils, and using oil moisturizers can actually help. This product is great for sensitive skin and protects from premature aging without clogging pores and causing breakouts. And it’s all natural and smells great!
