Natural Beauty

At Nakin it is fair to say that we are obsessed with natural beauty. We just think good natural products beat synthetic versions hands down, as they are so kind to skin. We also think that there is a lot to be said for ageing gracefully and naturally. Plus we believe in inclusive and holistic skincare where everyone should use the products and methods that they enjoy and feel comfortable with. Whatever beauty methods you like to use, one of the great things about natural skincare is that it works with most options. Always check with your clinician, but the kind and natural nature of natural beauty products make them a great choice for most routines.  

What is Natural Beauty?

When we think of natural beauty, we tend to assume it is about how people look, how attractive or thin they might be. Being healthy, having glowing skin and hair are all lovely things to have and that’s why we dedicate our work to our award-winning skin care range. We know that natural beauty can be much more than just using natural skincare products. However, using natural beauty products for our skin, make-up and hair needs that are free from harsh chemicals like parabens, SLS, glycols, PEGs, silicones, artificial fragrance and synthetic colour is a big part of achieving it, as natural beauty products work in harmony with our biology.

Natural beauty can also be seen in people when they are kind, vulnerable and courageous. Or when they are confident and happy in their own skin. It’s seen when someone works hard for their dreams and believes in themselves. Natural beauty is alive when we are happy in our own skin and love ourselves; plus treat others with the same respect. We see natural beauty in a person’s vibe, energy and spirit. A person’s strength and inner resilience can also make them more beautiful than lots of make-up and perfect hair. During this article we are going to focus more on the aesthetic side of natural beauty, and how this can be achieved without the use of harsh chemicals. But we always remember that what is on the inside of a person can be way more beautiful than their looks. That’s not to say that we don’t love having gorgeous natural glowing skin, and we look at how to achieve this below.

How to Shop for Natural Beauty Products

The main thing is to look at the ingredients on a product, to ensure that it is as natural as it can be - like our Nakin natural skincare range, which is kind and suitable for even Sensitive Skin Care needs. Our award-winning natural beauty range is made using the best plant actives available like hyaluronic acid, hibiscus, seaweed and pomegranate extract. Our range includes the products below and we feel confident that Nakin offer the very best in natural beauty products.

These days with the increase in natural beauty products the industry does contain a lot of green washing. This is where products are thought to be natural, but on close inspection of the ingredients they are not. The product may include marketing claims such as ‘naturally derived’ or ‘made with organic lavender’. The truth is that these products often contain a tiny percentage of natural ingredients and often contain lots of cheap and harsh skincare ingredients. So, it is essential to always study the ingredients label of a product. Most natural ingredients are quite easy to see as they are generally flowers and plants, although they will be noted in their Latin classification form. Synthetic ingredients tend to have chemical sounding names. Of course, many natural products will still contain gentle synthetic preservatives, as these are essential to keep products safe to use and ensure harmful microbes do not form in our beauty products. The preservatives to avoid are the harsh ones, including parabens. If you are unsure on an ingredients name, then the best thing to do is look up an ingredient on the Environmental Working Groups database. It’s important to use natural beauty products as a lot of the products that we apply to our skin and hair are absorbed into our systems. At Nakin we only make kind natural skincare and our products include the below.

• Treat your skin to a thorough cleanse using our Anti-Ageing Advanced Cleansing Milk as it gently cleans off make-up and grime from the skin without stripping, use the best plant extracts. Massage it into the skin and remove with a luke-warm cotton pad or cloth. If you prefer a foam cleanser then use our Rejuvenating Face Wash.

Natural Beauty Benefits

There are so many benefits to natural beauty over chemical and invasive options. Natural beauty keeps us looking great without any risks of harsh and toxic ingredients getting into our system. No-one knows what the accumulation of chemicals in our systems can really do, so we prefer to keep things natural and be kind to our bodies. There has been a trend towards enhancing our faces with things like line smoothers and fillers, but we believe it is better to be happy with our looks and enhance them using cosmetic products like Nakin’s Anti-Ageing Skincare. Natural skincare helps to get glowing skin and look great without the risks that invasive treatments have like swelling, irregularities and asymmetry.

Natural beauty products, derived from ingredients found in nature, are known for their gentle yet effective properties.
