As the weather warms and the sun finally graces us again with its presence, we start to thaw out and feel excited again. But there’s another shift we should all remember to make, and it involves our skincare routine.

In the spring and summer, the right skincare routine becomes even more crucial. After all, sun and heat can dry out our skin, making it look and feel damaged. That’s why everyone needs a good zero-waste face moisturizer in their beauty lineup.

Read on to learn all about our zero-waste moisturizer, including why it’s better than traditional ones, why you need one at all, and how often we should use them.

Why Do You Need a Face Moisturizer?

 

 

There are many benefits of regularly using face moisturizer. One of the biggest is that it helps eliminate (or at least reduce) certain skin problems, including dryness and oiliness. These two skin extremes can damage the skin and cause conditions like acne.

Therefore, with the right moisturizer, you can reduce dryness, oiliness, and conditions like acne. And natural face moisturizer is even better for the skin than traditional ones.

What is a Zero-Waste Face Moisturizer?

 

 

Many traditional moisturizers are made with ingredients that do more damage than good. Certain alcohols and synthetics can dry out the skin and prolong or promote many of our most common skin concerns. Others make our skin overly oily.

So, you might be wondering, why would skincare companies continue using ingredients like these in their products? Well, the answer is both simple and unfortunate: these fillers are cheaper than their healthier, more natural alternatives.

But zero-waste face moisturizer won’t damage your skin and leave you feeling hopeless. Zero-waste moisturizer is simply made better.

What is the Best Zero-Waste Face Moisturizer?

 

 

Now that we’ve talked about why natural face moisturizers are better than others, let’s talk about the best natural face moisturizer. Non-greasy, light, deeply hydrating, and suitable for all skin types, our zero-waste face moisturizer with rosehip extract promotes a healthy complexion.

Our rosehip facial cream is fast-absorbing and made with only healthy ingredients, so it nourishes and brightens the skin in ways that traditional creams can’t. It’s gentle enough to use twice per day, even on sensitive skin, making it ideal for both morning and nighttime use.

The formula is high in Vitamin C and antioxidants, which support skin health and even skin tones. Use it when you wake to give your skin a fresh, radiant glow all day. And then use it again before bed after you’ve washed away your makeup and the other remnants of your day.

And even those who have sensitivities to perfume-like fragrances or other strong scents will enjoy the lightness of this moisturizer. There is no added fragrance, just the subtle and natural scent of rosehip seed oil and aloe vera.

What Makes an Ideal Moisturizer? 

 

 

The ideal zero-waste moisturizer is suitable for all skin types, free from parabens and phthalates, and vegan. It’s made with natural, healthy ingredients like rosehip seed oil, organic aloe very juice, organic coconut oil, organic sunflower seed oil, and others like these.

Our zero-waste face moisturizer is all of this and more! In addition to containing better ingredients, our moisturizer is also made and packaged better.

It’s made right here in the United States, contained in a 100% recyclable or upcyclable glass jar with an aluminum lid, and shipped plastic-free. Because that’s what it means to be zero-waste from start to finish. We don’t believe in doing things halfway.

For those who have sensitive skin or are sensitive to certain smells, fragrance-free is also ideal. But this part comes down to personal preference.

How Often Should You Use Zero-Waste Face Moisturizer?

 

 

If you’re not used to using a face moisturizer, you may be surprised to learn that skin experts recommend doing so twice, or at least once, per day. Properly moisturizing the skin on your face can help maintain a healthy barrier and prevent environmental damage.

Applying natural face moisturizer once in the morning and once at night promotes consistent moisture content and reduces common skin troubles. Most people wash their faces once in the morning and once at night, so simply follow up with your moisturizer after each wash.

With all of that said, you know your skin better than we do. Start by testing the twice per day rule and adjust later if necessary. Some may find that once per day is enough. Others with dry skin may find that twice per day is the only way to ensure their skin stays suitably hydrated, refreshed, and protected.

Different skin types sometimes have different requirements. Trust your instincts, and you will find the routine that works best for you.

How to Use Your EcoRoots Natural Face Moisturizer

 

 

While natural moisturizers can look and feel a bit different than traditional ones, using them is the same. First, thoroughly wash and dry your hands. It may feel like this goes without saying, but clean hands are crucial.

Otherwise, you could be rubbing dirt and other impurities over your face before sealing them in with the moisturizer. Even when our hands feel and look clean, invisible impurities abound. So, to be safe, give them a quick wash. 

Next, scoop some moisturizer out of the jar and into your hands. Finally, apply a pea-sized amount of moisturizer to your clean face and neck, gently massaging each area as you apply. That’s all it takes to get nourished, hydrated skin daily.

When a product contains only healthy, natural ingredients, a little bit goes a long way! Repeat these steps once in the morning and once at night for the best results. That’s all it takes to keep your skin nourished and hydrated – the way it should be!

What Do EcoRoots Customers Have to Say About Our Natural Moisturizer?

 

 

Sometimes, it’s easier to take a chance on a product when you know that other people have tried it and loved it. That’s why we thought we’d share some of our most recent moisturizer reviews for you to look through:

• “Rosehip facial cream is simply amazing! I really enjoy using this luxurious cream every day!”
• “I love the way my skin looks using the cream. It’s very thick but goes on so smooth & easily. So beautiful!

96% of the reviews are five stars, with only one landing at four stars. And while it was missing one star, even that review was positive:

• “I work outdoors on a construction site and I purchased this lotion because it states it’s good for sensitive skin. It’s light, doesn’t have a heavy scent, and doesn’t leave your skin oily or slick. I just wish I hadn’t gone through it as fast as I did!”

Now that you know that users have tried and loved this product already, all that’s left to do is try it and see for yourself! But before you place your order, let’s go through some additional products that compliment this one well.
