5 Natural Skincare Products We Love

Many people who suffer from skin conditions, such as acne, are often hesitant to make the switch to vegan skincare products. Suppose you struggle with acne, specifically whiteheads. In that case, you’ll be pleased to know that there are lots of great natural skincare picks out there which offer a solution to this common skin problem. You can find many of these must-have items in the vegan range on our site.

In this blog, we’ll give you a run-down of what whiteheads are, and take you through five fabulous natural products to help combat them this Veganuary.

How can I get rid of whiteheads?

Characterised by their small, round appearance, whiteheads are a common form of acne and occur when pores get clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. If you’re struggling with whiteheads, there are a few simple steps you can take to help banish them for good. These include:

• Washing your face thoroughly every evening with lukewarm (not hot) water.
• Washing your hair regularly. The build-up of oil in the hair follicles can transfer to the face and cause breakouts.
• Avoiding harsh cleansers and scrubs which can irritate the skin.
• Exfoliating a couple of times a week to remove dead cells from the skin’s surface.
• Treating your complexion with acne-fighting simple skin products.

Read on to discover five natural skincare products designed to help combat whiteheads.
