My hair is super thick and I’m growing it out after years of pixie cuts. However, it takes one eternity to blow-dry. There are sprays that help the water evaporate faster and cut dry time in half, but I am looking for a mostly natural one. Any suggestions?

Anybody have any products/hints for brittle nails that tend not to grow? Also any products good for cuticles, etc?

I have extremely sensitive skin so as soon as i use a product with scent i have reactions. I find it pretty hard to find a deodorant with no scent and no aluminum. Anyone have any suggestions please?

I've been searching and most of the products they say are reliable are not easy to purchase in my country. And I've been thinking about if they are affiliated with someone or why do they promote Honest beauty in much cases.

Though these are not natural, dunno if I should stick to MAC as some Lancome products irritated my skin and don't stay as much as they say. Even Pacifica is quite better I suppose, I haven't tried them yet because they are a little bit complicated to purchase where I live. I'm just using the Island Vainilla mist and I like it :)).

I was thinking about purchasing it, it seems a little less heavy as eucerin hydrofoil bc I feel that one leaves my skin so, so shiny I cannot put makeup on. I'd really like to know if any of you know more about this brand BOJ and if it is natural and safe to use everyday

I need serious help with with a routine, I have premature aging, dry reactive, red skin. What to adjust to first?? I’m starting over because I got moxy and and waiting until it calms. Here the products I have in my arsenal (not using all! Just options):

1. Tret 0.025… I’ve had a hard time with purging in the past so I also have good molecules gentle retinol and herbivore bakuchiol

2. 15% azelic acid

3. Ordinary products: glycolic acid (think this is too harsh for me), barrier support serum, and thinking of buying either their GF serum, peptide serum, matrixil, and/or argerline (so many options…)

4. Skin 1004 Centella

5. Moisturizers: Cerave, embriolisse normal and cica version, beef tallow, weleda skin food, Egyptian magic

6. Cleansers: Heartleaf oil cleanser, cerave oil to foam, prequel

7. Mae love vitamin c serum

Original formula Nuud worked amazingly for me and I recently finished my original supply. I bought the reformulated stuff last year and moved on to that and it basically just doesn’t work. I used to apply once every few days and never smell of sweat. This new formula is like not using any product at all after about an hour. I hear they have reformulated AGAIN. Is there a better option that works on a similar basis in terms of microsilver and preventing rather than covering up bacteria and its smell?

I've been making my own body butter for almost 5 years now but I cannot stand how greasy they are and how I leave oil on everything I touch. I am done making them myself so if y'all can please give me recommendations with clean ingredients (no petroleum, parfum, synthetic fragrance, PEGs, parabens, titanium dioxide, or any other nasty ingredients please)

I wash my hands CONSTANTLY so I need something heavy duty (but also reasonably priced) for hands and feet.

I've tried Native but it isn't helping.

Thank you!

Hi Reddit! So I (16f) am chronically ill and switched a lot of my products to the natural version soon after diagnosed, because toxins just wreck my body and I cleaning out my system tends to make me feel better. Shampoo however is sometime I’ve been seriously struggling with. I have wavy, slightly oily, slightly thick hair, but I’ve lost a good chunk of it after I got sick. Not insanely much where people who don’t see me every day can notice, but enough where my hair is screwed up. I tried the Avalon Organics brand as is missing a lot of the toxins I wad afraid of, and is natural with no fragrances, and a lot cheaper then the other brands. (Around $10) Unfortunately, the clarifying lemon is too dry to the point where I get serious frizz. The revitalizing lavender is wayyy too oily and my hair just looks and feels disgustingly greasy. I was wondering if anyone has tried the other Avalon shampoos and thought one of them was better for that hair type? Or if there’s another all natural brand with a similar price range that you prefer? Thank you!

I have been make up-free for years except for my one vice - mascara. I hate the clumpy look though, and taking it off every night, and would love to be able to stop using that too however my short and thin eyelashes are a big insecurity.

I was just looking on Amazon and there are so many options out there all with mixed reviews. I don’t want to spend $100 on a lash serum especially when I don’t know if it will work.

I’m looking for something in the $20-$35 range that works well

I’ve always been a fan of keeping things as natural as possible when it comes to skincare. over the years, i’ve figured out a few habits that help me keep my skin glowing without needing to pile on makeup. here’s what works for me:

1.hydration: i drink a ton of water and try to eat foods with high water content (cucumber, watermelon, etc.). it’s such a simple thing but makes a noticeable difference. 2.sleep: i aim for 7-8 hours every night. when i don’t, it shows on my skin almost immediately. 3.acials: about once every few months, i treat myself to a professional facial. i go to this place in nyc called beso aesthetics, and it’s like a reset for my skin. they don’t overdo it or use anything 4.harsh, but the results last for weeks. sunscreen: every single day, even if i’m not going outside much. this is probably the most important thing i’ve added to my routine.

it’s nothing fancy, but keeping it simple has worked way better for me than chasing after every new trend. what’s worked for you to maintain a natural glow?

I want to eliminate parabens and phthalates from my body care (body washes, lotions, etc) and my makeup and skin care. I’m new to natural beauty and need product suggestions please!

34M, shortish hair. For the past ten years, I stopped using conditioner and shampoo (shampoo only when hair was very dirty and needed it) because I've found it made my hair flat and took away its essence. Even when using conditioner. So for the past decade I would only rinse my hair with water in the shower. I talked to my gf yesterday, asked her what my hair smelled like, and she said there was a bit of a funk.

Soooo I'd like to fix that. Ive found that all other products I use make my hair very slippery and it always falls flat. Do any products exist that put oils in while not making it look greasy?

I’m trying to get more information on how harnessing the power of the sun works with Fitzpatrick skin type 1. I started following Sarah Kleiner but I think I would have to start paying for classes to get the information on how to safely use sun for my skin type.

Hey y’all, I’ve struggled with acne for a while and honestly gave up for a bit. I eat pretty healthy, drink a good amount of water, etc. I usually use la Roche-posay’s 2% salicylic acid cleaner and their double repair face moisturizer. I feel like I haven’t noticed much progress and I really want to switch to something else. I’ve looked into a bit of stuff online but it’s hard to tell what works and what doesn’t, so does anyone have any advice of home remedies/natural brands I should try? Thanks in advance:)

I am struggling to make sugar wax and it’s turning into a failure. When colour is good, consistency is bad or the colour and consistency is good but instead of sugar wax it’s turning out into sugar candy. When I take it out of the jar instead to be sticky, stretchy and mellow it’s hardens and crushes into tiny pieces. What’s the problem? Too much water or lemon? Too humid in the kitchen? Help!!

Anyone give this mascara a try? I've always wanted to and I finally am!! I'll come back and share my honest review. My eyelashes are short from pcos, otherwise I wouldn't care to use any mascara!!

Here's a $15 off discount code if you want to try it too (obv can't recommend it yet, but they do referral codes!): http://refer.thrivecausemetics.com/kfwyycs?pid=10590155084&c

Can anyone recommend a great natural mascara brand? Thanks so much!

I’m thinking about getting some products from Oak and Sage Skincare as a birthday gift for my wife. She’s been really into non-toxic skincare lately, and I came across this small, local brand that looks pretty cool.

The thing is, I don’t know much about skincare, and I don’t want to get her something that’s just marketing fluff. Has anyone here tried their stuff? Does tallow actually live up to the natural, non-toxic claims? Will my wife even like it? It seems kinda gross imo haha.

Would love to hear any thoughts or experiences before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

Hi! I made a previous post asking on what natural product I could use for cleaning my face at night and getting rid of sunscreen 😅. I'm from latam, so a lot of recommendations sadly aren't available to me. I do have a plant of Aloe Vera where I live. Could this work? If so, how could I use it? Thanks!

Sooo. The only "industrial" product I wear is sunscreen. I got in the habit of putting it on first thing in the morning. It has been positive to my appearance so far.

The issue is that I only get rid of it with soap once I take a shower, and I believe I'm starting to see the consequences (hyperpigmentation) 😅.

Anyway, I'll get in the habit of washing it off at night before sleep. Any advice on doing this? I don't have a cleanser, but I've read that just soap could be too harsh on the skin. Any advice?

I am starting on my journey into oils while trying to rid my beauty routine of chemicals. I am not sure if this is the group to ask, but what brands of oils are natural and clean? I am looking for good brands for castor, jojoba, rosehip, argan, rosemary, sweet almond, & vitamin E. my goal is to make my own blends so that i know the formula is clean. I feel like I can’t trust even the brands claiming to be organic or pure. I know to look for “cold-pressed” and “unrefined”, or at least I’ve been told, but I’d like to know everyone’s recommendations. TIO! 🤍

It's winter where I live and I am in need of an exfoliant for dry skin. I'm trying to minimize/eliminate plastics and excess packaging from my life, so ideally, I'd love a scrubbing bar rather than anything in a tub or tube. Something like the Soft Services buffing bar but without the gross dyes and $30 price tag. I already dry brush, but need another layer of physical exfoliant. Any suggestions?

Hi Im trying to find a natural dye for my homemade lipstick. I want a bright red/orangy color. I need a natural red dye. So far I tried carmine, madder root and red radish powder. They all ended up brown in the lipstick base. Do you think the oils in the lipstick base cause it to darken?

Has anyone tried The Stick version? Is it as effective as the cream?

I’ve been using Nuud for years now and it’s been really effective for me. With their old formula, I’d only have to reapply once a week! And I live in a hot, humid country. With this new one, I find that I have to reapply more often, 3 days maximum is the limit now. Regardless, I still love it because it’s been a game changer for me. Saw that they have this new Stick version and I’m curious since I find the application with the new formula easier to spread but harder to estimate.

Hi, maybe this is a super specific question but Myro deodorant (in the scent solar flare) was my favorite thing ever--I liked that it wasn't an antiperspirant, didn't make my armpits feels sticky or dry, and that the scent was super subtle, clean, and pine-y, and somewhat masculine but not overwhelmingly so. It also mixed well with my natural odor so when it wore off it wasn't super noticeable. Has anyone been able to find anything like this since it's been discontinued?? I've tried a few different ones (including Native and Salt + Stone) and nothing has really lived up to it. I'm looking at Glossier and billie, any good experiences??
