3 Organic Multipurpose Products You Can (And Should) Add To Your Skin Care Routine

When trying to pursue a minimal lifestyle, looking for the least amount of products that can do a bunch of things at once is like hitting the jackpot. But, it’s not only ideal for those who are seeking to live a more simple life, it is beneficial for everyone! The more organic (or natural) the products you include in your skin care routine (or life, overall), the healthier you will look and be. I’ve taken the serious task of looking for at least 3 products that we can add to our skin care routines that are economic, effective, and multipurpose. Here’s what I found:

1. COCONUT OIL: It’s no secret that coconut oil is like stardust for our skin. The amazing thing is that it is incredibly multipurpose. I use it as a cleansing oil to remove all of my waterproof makeup, but you can use it as hair mask, natural teeth whitener, face mask, moisturizer, body lotion, cooking ingredient, etc. It serves its purpose and it is so economic; a full-sized bottle lasts up to a year for me and I pay around $9!
2. WITCH HAZEL: Many don’t actually know about this one but witch hazel is amazing for burns and swelling; it’s actually an ingredient in aftershaves(;)! Because of this property, witch hazel is amazing as a toner because it helps reduce redness overtime, along with hydrating the skin and controlling oil. Back home, we actually call it “Agua de Maravillas” which literally means “wonderful water”; talk about 100% naming accuracy.
3. GINGER: I love ginger! Not only is it delicious, it has way too many anti-aging properties that fight against free-radicals, even skin tone and promotes elasticity. Ginger also has antioxidant properties that help fade scars so it is perfect for dark spots left by acne. I prefer to make up a ginger tea latte but if you mix up ground ginger + honey + lemon juice, it works as a perfect brightening + anti-aging mask (because, here's the thing: ginger works both on your skin as well as inside your body)!
