Natural: The New Black

How to Upgrade Your Beauty Routine to Natural — and Still Get Results

A healthy diet and regular exercise may top the list of wellness essentials, however the body’s largest organ—the skin—also needs daily attention with the right products to get glowing.

Natural is the new beauty buzzword — a growing trend towards nature-based skincare, inspiring many to toss out toxin-laden in favour of mostly chemical-free. Why? What we put on our skin has been found to go within[1]. From parabens to sulfates, petrochemicals to synthetic fragrances, when applied to the skin these are known to directly enter the bloodstream, potentially causing ill effects on the body.

While selecting good-for-you ingredients is a step in the right direction, choosing nature-derived, skin-nourishing formulas that have proven results is key.

Here’s a guide to how from Australia’s multi award-winning skincare range, Qsilica:

The Ultimate Natural Beauty Mineral: Skin Essential Silica

One of the most renowned natural topical and internal beauty ingredients is silica.

An essential mineral[1] for healthy skin and bones, as well as connective tissue, the body’s silica stores deplete as you age. Supporting your intake of this nutrient through diet, supplementation and topical skin products encourages healthy growth and functioning of skin, as well as hair, nails and connective tissue. Naturally found in quartz crystal, silica is a natural daily support for skin elasticity and smoothness that gives you a fresh, youthful glow.

With an inside and out approach to beauty, it’s this hero ingredient that is the foundation of one of Australia’s own award-winning, nature-based skincare and vitamin supplement brands – Qsilica.
