What you should consider when switching to natural cosmetics

Did you know that synthetically produced creams and lotions contain harmful substances that irritate and dry out your skin and are long-term causes of skin problems? We at TocoCare believe in the healing power of nature and therefore want to share our valuable tips and tricks with you in our first blog post, which will help you switch from artificial creams to naturally produced skincare... Here are our TOP 3 TOCO TIPS:

1. Give your skin time to get used to the natural ingredients!

Have you been caring for your skin with conventional cosmetics all along? Have you gotten used to the care feeling and are actually satisfied with the products? We're sure that very few of you have actually examined the ingredients and active ingredients and know what's really in conventional creams and lotions. Your body has probably gotten used to the synthetic fragrances, preservatives and colorants and now demands them too. Because the main components of these products are usually petroleum jelly, paraffin and silicone, which lay over your skin like a film and initially create a pleasant skin feeling. This feeling is deceptive and anyone who has perhaps forgotten their cosmetics on vacation and done without them for some time will feel that the skin breathes freely, detoxifies and sets a completely natural cleansing process in motion. During this process, cells regenerate that repair the skin surface and resolve skin problems in the long term. And yet, most people are afraid of this change, don't want to live with detoxification for two weeks – specifically, tolerate pimples temporarily – and therefore stick with conventional products. But...

2. initial skin impurities are a good sign!

Have you decided to switch to natural cosmetics? Does the new product feel unfamiliar and also cause skin impurities? No reason to put it away immediately and go back to your usual skincare. Your skin now needs some time to free itself from old toxins and shed the silicone film. With conventional care, this film is quickly artificially recreated through constant and regular moisturizing. When switching to natural cosmetics, this process is eliminated and we have the urgent need to moisturize the skin again and again. But patience! Because high-quality plant oils are rich in nourishing active ingredients that support the skin in doing its natural work. Our TocoCare Elixir for example penetrates deep into the skin and supplies the starved cells with important vitamins and antioxidants. After 2-4 weeks, the cells rebuild themselves and renew completely on their own. The skin is back in harmony and the skin impurities also disappear, because the toxins have been eliminated.

3. Plant-based skin oils are suitable for every skin type!

We have consciously chosen plant-based skin and body oils. They are not only easy to apply and massage in – to name just one advantage – but are also suitable for every skin type. Even oily skin needs oil and benefits from our oils. Why? By adding oil, our skin receives the signal to produce less oil itself and takes the rich ingredients it needs to nourish our cells. We use our oils daily, not only for skincare, but also when we feel like we've gotten out of balance in everyday life. So if you have concerns about completely switching your care to natural cosmetics, then our TocoCare AKUT is a way to slowly get used to it. You can add a few rich drops as a natural booster to your conventional products and just observe what happens... Would you like to learn more about "switching to natural cosmetics"?
