Choosing Balanced Beauty… Here are 5 Notox Secrets!
As a passionate advocate of natural skincare and an enthusiast of outdoor adventures like white water rafting and hiking, I’ve seen firsthand the beauty that nature offers, both in our surroundings and in how we care for ourselves. My journey into natural skincare started from a deep-rooted belief that our skin deserves the purest, most nourishing ingredients. This philosophy guides not only my business but also my personal choices.
Here’s what that looks like:
1. Gua Sha Facial Massage
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese beauty technique that involves gently scraping a jade tool along the skin to promote blood circulation, reduce puffiness, and enhance lymphatic drainage. This practice helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and revitalizes your skin's natural glow. You can use the Jade Gua Sha Tool from Peak Scents for this rejuvenating practice. (PS: I used to think this would take too long, but it only takes me a few minutes and I see big results with consistency)
2. Hydrating Night Cream
Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial for maintaining its elasticity and suppleness. Incorporate a rich, nourishing night cream into your routine to repair and rejuvenate your skin while you sleep. The Organic Rose Phyto3 Night Cream provides deep hydration, revitalizing the skin and reducing signs of aging. The powerful blend of botanical, super fruit extracts and antioxidants in the Organic Rose Phyto3 Night Cream helps combat the signs of aging. It supports the skin's natural collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness, resulting in a more youthful complexion.
This night cream packs a powerful punch, inclusive of:
- Organic Shea Butter: Deeply moisturizing and rich in vitamins A and E, known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Cocoa Butter: Highly nourishing and hydrating, it helps to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

- Kakadu Plum Extract: An incredibly potent source of vitamin C, it helps to brighten the skin and boost collagen production.
- Vitamin C Ester: A stable form of vitamin C that provides antioxidant protection, reduces fine lines, and brightens the complexion.
- Vitamin E: Known for its antioxidant properties, it helps to protect the skin from damage and keeps it moisturized and supple.

- Organic Blend of Essential Oils: Rose, Bergamot (BP Free), Howood, Palmarosa, and Ylang-Ylang: These essential oils provide soothing, anti-inflammatory, and aromatic benefits, enhancing both the skin's health and your sensory experience.
Supercharge your routine, and complement it with the Babchi Serum and Rose Phyto3 Facial Oil to enhance skin elasticity and achieve a radiant complexion.
3. Hyaluronic + C Serum for Reducing Sun Damage
Sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature aging, but with the right skincare routine, you can help repair and rejuvenate your skin. One powerful product is the Hyaluronic + C Serum.
Key Ingredients and Benefits:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): This superstar hydrator can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, providing intense moisture to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps repair the skin barrier compromised by sun exposure.
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals generated by UV exposure. It stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of sun-induced wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it helps fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots caused by sun damage, resulting in a more even skin tone and a radiant glow.
- Ferulic Acid: Enhances the stability and potency of Vitamin C. It protects the skin against environmental damage and boosts the serum's antioxidant properties. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe sun-damaged skin, reducing redness and irritation.
- Aloe Vera: Renowned for its soothing and healing properties, Aloe Vera calms sunburned skin and accelerates the healing process. It provides additional hydration, complementing the effects of Hyaluronic Acid.
- Green Tea Extract: Rich in polyphenols, Green Tea Extract is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from UV-induced damage and improves overall skin health. It also has anti-aging properties that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Incorporate the Hyaluronic + C Serum into your skincare routine by applying a few drops to your face and neck after cleansing, followed by your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration and enhance the serum's effects.
4. Gentle Cleansing
A good skincare routine starts with proper cleansing. Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. The Organic Rose Phyto3 Cleansing Milk is an excellent choice for maintaining your skin's moisture balance and leaving it feeling fresh and clean.
5. Exfoliation with Konjac Sponge + Renewal Peel
Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, promoting cell regeneration and improving skin texture. The Konjac Sponge is a natural and gentle exfoliator that can be used daily to maintain smooth, radiant skin.
Our Renewal Peel and Fruit Enzyme Lift masks are a simple way to add a spa moment to your morning, or evening routine without the harshness of a “hard” exfoliating scrub–enriched with fruit and beta-enzymes, this new improved formula lifts dead skin cells to uncover a healthy looking complexion. Moisturizing and exfoliating in one easy step.
Embracing the natural aging process is like giving yourself a giant, warm hug. Society might sometimes try to make us feel bad about getting older, but guess what? Aging is totally natural and it's happening to all of us!
I'm so jazzed about the growing movement that's all about normalizing aging and embracing it with a smile. Celebrate yourself today—you're amazing just the way you are!
