Slow beauty is a lifestyle that is fairly new to a lot of people, and may take some time adjusting to. But overall, it can help you to make more sustainable choices, take time for yourself and teach you more about your impact on the environment.
There are so many different ways that you can incorporate slow beauty into your daily routine, even if it is one small aspect. In this blog we will be talking about different ways that you can incorporate slow beauty and some different slow beauty rituals that we love.
Try Going To Bed And Waking Up Earlier
This will allow you to take your time when it comes to your morning routine. Give yourself time to enjoy your routines and take the urgency of rushing around away, this will give you a great start to your day and leave you feeling more relaxed and prepared for the day ahead.
Go For Green
The best first step to take on any slow beauty journey is to look for products made with natural ingredients. For centuries our ancestors have been using natural ingredients on their skin, and there is one simple reason for it. It is because they work! Nature knows best when it comes to caring for your skin, rather than a short lived trend that uses mass produced products.
Use Products That Are Cruelty Free And Vegan
You may think that this comes hand in hand with shopping for natural products, but that may not always be the case. A product can be cruelty free without being vegan and vice versa, so it is really important to look at the products you are investing in and make sure you know exactly what you are buying.
Upcycle Your Products
Do you have a tendency to throw away your beauty products once you have finished with them? Why not try upcycling them instead? You can reuse jars to house your favourite small plants, or your bottles as plant misters! If you have smaller bottles then why not reuse them to hold smaller amounts of your favourite products? Perfect to pop into an overnight bag or suitcase when you travel!
Think About The Packaging As Well As The Product
When it comes to slow beauty products, each part is important. From what goes into the product itself, how it is made, and even what it is packaged in. Products that are packaged with excess plastic can be harmful to the environment. So make sure you choose products that maintain their ethos all the way through to their packaging. Look for products packaged in recycled materials such as cardboard.
Take Your Time With Your Skincare
The joy of slow beauty is that it teaches us to enjoy our time with our skin. Slow beauty products are designed to be enjoyed full of delicate smells and gorgeous textures, so as you use them take it all in and admire the beauty of natural ingredients.
Take Time For Yourself
A big part of slow beauty is taking time out for yourself. It is important to reward yourself or take some time to relax whenever you feel like it. If you have had a busy or stressful day, then take some time to wind down. Why not have a relaxing bath with your favourite products? Or chill out of an evening and wind down with your favourite film? These little steps we take are important for our mental wellbeing.
Mindfulness Masking
If you are looking for a great way to relax whilst enjoying some skin care then why not try to practice some mindfulness whilst using your favourite face mask. As your mask is sitting try thinking about three things you are grateful for. These don’t have to be huge things, perhaps you had a really delicious lunch, enjoyed a walk in the fresh air, or maybe you had a lovely phone call with someone you’ve missed. This will help you to feel more positive and teach you how to use small 5 minute gaps throughout your day to your advantage.
Learn A Small Ritual
This is a great tip if you are someone who is looking for ways to relax. Learning a simple ritual can be a great way to remove yourself from the pressures of the day, even if that is just for a few minutes. Why not remove your make up of an evening with a cleansing balm so you can incorporate a small massage? This will make something that can be seen as a chore into a more enjoyable experience that you can look forward to.
Stick To A Routine
Slow beauty products focus on improving your skin’s own functions, like the rate of cell turnover, meaning that the results of the product can be seen long after you apply it. This means that it is important to stick to your routine so you can give your products time to work their magic.It’s recommended to try a new product for at least 28 days to really see the benefits, something you wouldn’t be able to dedicate to if you’re jumping on board with a short lived fad.
The first thing that makes for an amazing slow beauty product is natural ingredients that work. These products allow you to take care of yourself whilst also taking care of the world around you.
Another thing that makes for an amazing slow beauty product is how it makes you feel. Slow beauty is as much about your own wellbeing as it is about the environment. You want to invest in products that bring you joy and make you excited to use them.
At Evolve it is really important to us to bring all aspects of slow beauty together through our skincare. This is why we fill our products with advanced natural ingredients to work alongside your skin to bring you great results. We also focus on how our products make you feel, how the smell and what experience they bring you when using them.
Radiant Glow Mask
Our Radiant Glow Mask is an amazing slow beauty product in so many different ways. A big part of slow beauty is making more sustainable choices, and a great way to do that is buy using multi use products! This means that you can buy less and reduce your waste at the same time. Our Radiant Glow Mask is the perfect multi use product as it is a nourishing face mask and a gently exfoliating scrub too!
This gorgeous mask is blended with raw cacao and clay, which means it smells deliciously chocolatey, making it a treat for the senses as well as your skin. It is also 100% natural meaning that you can be assured that the only things that have gone into it were designed by mother nature herself.
360 Smoothing Body Contour
The 360 Smoothing Body Contour is our newest addition and is another great slow beauty product made from 100% natural ingredients. One element of slow beauty is the science behind products. Slow beauty products are designed to give you long lasting results that stay long after you have been using the product, they work alongside your skin rather than giving fast short-lived results like some beauty fads and trends. Our 360 Smoothing Body Contour is designed to work alongside your body and deliver long lasting results.
Not only does our 360 Smoothing Body Contour work to maximise your skin health, it also provides a targeted boost improving skin’s elasticity and firmness whilst also increasing smoothness and hydration. Not only that but it also helps to calm redness and improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris and cellulite.
