Dermatologist-Approved Skincare Tips for Clean and Kind Beauty

When it comes to skincare, shopping from an endless list of products, trends, and alternatives can feel overwhelming. 

At HER Beauty, we believe in clean and kind beauty that’s non-toxic, fragrance-free, and gentle on both your skin and the environment. 

From the science and kindness behind skincare, here are a few tips to help you get to a healthy glowing complexion. 

Let’s dive in!

1. Cleanse with Care

Good skincare always starts with proper cleansing. The cleanser, though, is important, and we recommend you use a gentle, nontoxic one without harsh sulphates and artificial fragrance.

These ingredients can strip your skin of its natural oils and leave it dry and irritated. Instead, find a hydrating cleanser with soothing ingredients such as aloevera or chamomile, which will help keep your skin naturally balanced.

Much like Balance Bestie, which helps balance the skin's Ph levels without overly stripping the skin. 

HER Beauty Tip: Double cleansing at night can help remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities, but always use products that are clean and kind to your skin. You can try out the top duo, the Double Cleanse Duo, which comes with two of HER Beauty’s best sellers, the Balance Bestie and Oh So Cherry.

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

No one should be surprised to hear that healthy skin is all about hydration, regardless of your skin type. 

Products that are fragrance-free and packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or squalene help lock in moisture but do not clog your pores. If you are looking for products to try, give Cloud Drop a go. The gel moisturizer provides up to 72 hours of hydration.

HER Beauty Tip: Apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp after cleansing to maximize hydration.

3. Never Skip Sunscreen

Ask any dermatologist, and they’ll tell you how non-negotiable sunscreen is. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is essential to prevent you from premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer. 

For a fragrance-free, non-toxic mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin, opt for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. We recommend checking out 3–in–1 Bright Sunscreen, or for a hint of color, go for the Tinted Sun Drops.

HER Beauty Tip: Look for sunscreens labelled “reef-safe” to ensure your sun protection is clean and kind to the planet.

4. Simplify Your Routine

Less should be more when it comes to skincare. Too much of anything you apply to your skin can irritate or break you out. 

Keep things simple with cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. If you want to try treatments, add one product at a time to see how your skin reacts.

HER Beauty Tip: Choose products with clean, non-toxic formulations to ensure you give your skin only what it truly needs.

5. Exfoliate Gently

Exfoliation is essential, and it helps remove dead skin cells and provides a means for stimulated cell renewal. 

Exfoliating too much can damage your skin’s natural barrier. Gentle chemical exfoliants like lactic acid are dermatologist-approved because they are practical and kind to the skin.

HER Beauty Tip: Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation, so only do it once or twice a week.

6. Choose Non-Toxic, Fragrance-Free Products

One of the culprits for skin irritation are fragrances and harsh chemicals. 

Dermatologists stress the importance of using non-toxic, fragrance-free skincare products for sensitive or reactive skin. 

These products are safer and align with the company's commitment to clean and kind beauty.

HER Beauty Tip: Always read ingredient labels and avoid products with parabens, phthalates, or synthetic dyes. 

With HER Beauty’s products, you can easily find all the ingredients and important details about the product on the packaging, saving you the hassle of searching online. 

7. Nourish from Within

What you put into your body is just as important as what you put on your skin. Now is definitely the time to indulge in some healthy fats, antioxidants, and lots and lots of hydration, which can also help to enhance the health and appearance of your skin. 

For a natural glow, include foods such as berries, avocados, nuts, green leafy veggies, pumpkins, seeds, and eggs.

HER Beauty Tip: Drink plenty of water and herbal teas throughout the day.

8. Prioritize Skin Barrier Health

Your skin’s barrier protects it from environmental stressors, so keeping it strong is crucial. Avoid overusing harsh treatments or products that can weaken your barrier. 

Instead, use skincare infused with barrier-repairing ingredients like niacinamide and panthenol. You can get these ingredients from simple yet powerful serums like Brighten and Correct, Pillowy and Plumpy, and the Glow and Radiate serums from HER Beauty.

HER Beauty Tip: If your skin feels tight or looks red, change your routine and focus on soothing, non-toxic products.

9. Customize for Your Skin Type

No two people have the same skin. Dermatologists recommend tailoring your skincare routine to your specific skin type and concerns. 

Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, there are clean and kind options available.

HER Beauty Tip: Don’t hesitate to consult a dermatologist to understand your skin’s unique needs better.

10. Practice Consistency

Skincare is not about quick fixes; it’s about consistent care. Results take time, so stick to your routine and give your skin the patience it deserves.

HER Beauty Tip: Keep your routine simple, clean, and kind to stay motivated and consistent.
