Hey there! 🌿 Have you ever wondered what makes natural skincare so great? As a tween or teen, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about your skincare routine, and choosing natural ingredients can make a big difference. Not only are they kind to your skin, but they’re also eco-friendly, helping to protect the planet too!
In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of some amazing natural ingredients—like lavender, witch hazel, and peppermint—and explain how they work in skincare. Plus, I’ll share how Facely uses these ingredients in their products to give you glowing, healthy skin.

Why Choose Natural Ingredients?

Natural ingredients are a fantastic choice because they’re gentle, effective, and safe for your changing skin. During your tween and teen years, your skin might go through phases of oiliness, dryness, or even breakouts, and natural ingredients can help balance and soothe without harsh chemicals. Let’s dive into some of the best natural ingredients you can use!

1. Lavender

What It Does: Lavender is well-known for its calming scent, but it’s also a skincare superstar. Lavender has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which means it helps to calm redness and irritation while also keeping your skin clear from breakouts. It’s especially great if you’re dealing with acne or sensitive skin.
Where You’ll Find It: Facely’s Night Shift Moisturiser features lavender to help calm and balance your skin while keeping it moisturised. The lightweight formula is perfect for everyday use, and lavender’s soothing properties mean it works well for all skin types, even if you’re prone to irritation.

2. Witch Hazel

What It Does: Witch hazel is a natural astringent that’s perfect for oily or acne-prone skin. It helps to tighten pores, reduce excess oil, and fight inflammation. This makes it a fantastic option if you’re experiencing breakouts or oily patches. Witch hazel is gentle enough to use daily but tough enough to keep your skin clear and fresh.
Where You’ll Find It: Facely’s Squeaky Clean Cleanser includes witch hazel to cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. It’s perfect for removing dirt, oil, and impurities while keeping your pores clean and clear.

3. Kaolin Clay

What It Does: Kaolin clay is a gentle yet powerful ingredient that helps absorb excess oil and detoxify your skin. It’s great for tweens and teens with oily or combination skin, as it works to draw out impurities and leave your skin feeling fresh and clean. Unlike harsher clays, kaolin clay is soft and won’t dry out your skin, making it ideal for regular use.
Where You’ll Find It: Facely’s Clean Slate Mask uses kaolin clay to gently exfoliate and detoxify your skin, leaving it smooth and clear. The natural ingredients work to draw out any impurities without being too harsh, making it perfect for keeping your complexion balanced and fresh.

4. Peppermint

What It Does: Peppermint is a refreshing ingredient that provides a cooling, tingling sensation, helping to wake up your skin and leave it feeling energised. It’s great for controlling oil, reducing inflammation, and giving your skin a natural glow. Plus, peppermint has antibacterial properties, making it ideal for fighting acne and keeping your skin clear.
Where You’ll Find It: You can find peppermint in Facely’s Solve it Serum, where it provides a cooling sensation while also hydrating your skin with hyaluronic acid. This makes it perfect for when you need a bit of extra hydration!

5. Aloe Vera

What It Does: Aloe vera is a skincare hero known for its soothing and healing properties. It’s perfect for calming irritated or sensitive skin and provides a burst of hydration without clogging your pores. Aloe vera also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great choice if you’re dealing with breakouts or redness.
Where You’ll Find It: Facely’s The Day SPF 50 UVA Moisturiser also includes aloe vera to give your skin a gentle, refreshing cleanse. It’s perfect for removing dirt and oil without leaving your skin feeling dry or tight. Aloe vera keeps your skin hydrated and calm, making it ideal for all skin types.

6. Rosehip Oil

What It Does: Rosehip oil is packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids that help to repair and rejuvenate your skin. It’s especially good for fading acne scars, improving skin texture, and evening out your skin tone. Rosehip oil also provides lightweight hydration, so it won’t leave your skin feeling oily or greasy.
Where You’ll Find It: Facely’s Cool as a Cucumber Eye Gel uses rosehip oil to help nourish your skin and keep it hydrated throughout the day. The oil is absorbed quickly, leaving your skin soft and smooth without feeling heavy.
