5 Best Natural Skin-Care Ingredients For Your Fall Routine
If you’re like most Canadians, you probably spent your summer soaking up the sun, sweating off your makeup, indulging in a few too many ice creams (or adult beverages), and maybe even lounging in the overly chlorinated pool down the block. In short, your skin is fried—which makes fall the perfect time to rehab your complexion with some of the best natural skin care in Canada. Here are some of our favorite natural ingredients for soothing irritation, minimizing hyperpigmentation, and boosting hydration:
1. Rosehip Oil
Derived from the Rosa canina rose bush, rosehip oil is full of essential fatty acids and vitamins with numerous benefits for the skin. Fatty acids are ideal for itchy, dry, and dehydrated complexions because they nourish and prevent water from escaping the skin's surface. Vitamins, including vitamin A, help to naturally exfoliate, brighten, reduce hyperpigmentation, and boost collagen formation, making rosehip oil a natural retinol alternative. You’ll find it in our products like the Back To Earth Skin Glow Facial Serum and Glow Eye Cream.
2. Evening Primrose Oil
Evening primrose oil, also known as Oenothera biennis oil, is a key ingredient in some of the best natural skin care products, such as the Back To Earth Skin Glow Facial Serum and Glow Eye Cream. Its main role is to reduce skin inflammation while improving overall skin health, including moisture levels, elasticity, and firmness.
3. Aloe Leaf Juice
Expressed from the leaves of the aloe vera plant, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice is primarily used to soothe and hydrate the skin. It’s suitable for all skin types—from dry and sensitive to oily—and calms redness and irritation, making it a popular ingredient in after-sun care. It’s a key component in both the Back To Earth Skin Glow Facial Mask and Glow Makeup Remover.
4. Rosemary Oil
Rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil) is an excellent choice when your skin feels itchy and inflamed or if you're experiencing breakouts. This natural ingredient not only soothes the skin but also offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for acne-prone skin. You’ll find it in products like the Back To Earth Skin Glow Facial Mask and the Glow Foaming Cleanser.
5. Chamomile Flower Oil
Chamomile flower oil, or Anthemis nobilis, found in the Back To Earth Skin Glow Daily Moisturizer, offers a wide range of benefits in natural skin care. It soothes irritation, calms redness, and evens out skin tone. Additionally, its antimicrobial properties help eliminate bacteria that hinder wound healing and cause acne.
