10 Celebrities Who Love Natural Beauty Products
Natural beauty products are slowly conquering every dressing table and bathroom cabinet. Over the past few years, we have all become our own little beauty experts. With the help of beauty bloggers and social media influencers, we can now easily find out which ingredients we want to avoid in our skincare products. This also means that we know the good stuff and won’t stop until we get them! It’s not just us regular folks who are enjoying this abundance of nature, celebrities are also big fans of all things natural! Here are 10 celebrities who love natural beauty products!
1. Kate Middleton
The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her natural beauty and simple makeup look. So it’s no surprise to find rosehip oil on the royal bedside table! Rosehip oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, which help reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines. It can be used during the day or at night, but the Duchess is a big fan of applying it all over her skin after cleansing in the morning. Kate loves the glow this oil gives her skin, so she uses it with her foundation. The result is beautiful skin. Rosehip oil has extremely nourishing and soothing properties, suitable for all skin types!
2. Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow is a strong advocate for natural skincare and the makeup she founded is a natural beauty brand, Juice Beauty. The brand’s range includes a range of products from moisturizers to mascaras. Paltrow herself admits that her main product in the range is the foundation. Enriched with rich grapeseed oil and fruit stem cells, the product does not settle into fine lines and provides medium to full coverage while still feeling lightweight. It is vegan and cruelty-free!
3. Emma Watson
Emma Watson became a global superstar at the age of nine and is no novice when it comes to makeup and skincare. She is famous for explaining how Watson developed severe acne while filming the fourth Harry Potter movie. After a long day of removing makeup from her sore and sensitive face, Emma decided enough was enough and began her journey to find the natural beauty products that would suit her best. She has not looked back since and explains that she wears almost no makeup most of the time, which was unthinkable before. Emma also explained that sun protection is an important part of her daily routine and she uses sunscreen every day, no matter what the weather is like.
4. Jennifer Aniston
Los Angeles-based actress Jennifer Aniston is definitely a fan of natural beauty, with her “Rachel” hairstyle becoming one of the most popular beauty trends. Forgive us for not overlooking her as she tells us the secret to her incredible look at 49! If we told you that Aniston is a sun worshipper and uses incredible baby oil as sunscreen, you wouldn’t believe us. Jennifer later regretted this and now focuses on taking care of her skin in a more natural way. This includes regular oxygen facials and consuming lots of water. Jennifer is a big fan of homemade hair masks made from fat-rich foods such as avocados and uses a body scrub made from coffee beans to strengthen the body and fight cellulite.
5. Margot Robbie
Walking the red carpet and frequent appearances have now become a norm for Margot Robbie. This Hollywood beauty uses and loves a variety of products, but her favorite product is the biocellulose mask. Margot describes them as being made of jelly, and honestly she isn’t wrong. The natural fibers of the biocellulose mask are soaked in concentrated serums, making them more flexible than paper masks, allowing them to move and shape to fit your face perfectly while remaining very comfortable.
6. Victoria Beckham
For us here at Procoal, taking a peek into Mrs. Beckham’s bathroom cupboard would be a dream come true. Besides owning a ton of her most famous products, Victoria is also a big fan of coconut oil! During the summer, VB mixes coconut oil into her moisturizer to keep her tan. She loves Weleda’s Skin Food to moisturize her skin, lock in moisture, and keep her tan longer!
7. Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr is stunning in every way, especially as a catwalker for Victoria Secrets. With a career in modeling on the rise, travel and long days have become the norm for Kerr. She even admitted that the air miles have taken a terrible toll on her skin. Miranda was concerned about beauty products that claimed to be organic and natural but only contained natural products, so she set out to create her own organic, natural brand, Kora Organics. Miranda’s biggest concern was the chemicals and toxins contained in other products that would be absorbed by the skin and then enter the bloodstream. So she put together her own line filled with natural and herbal ingredients.
8. Lucy Watson
You may remember Lucy from her hit TV show Made in Chelsea, but since leaving the Chelsea nest, Lucy has become a vegan cookbook author, makeup mogul, and restaurant owner. It’s easy to tell that she’s a busy Londoner. With her rapid shift to a vegan lifestyle, Lucy has also changed her skincare routine. Serums of all shapes and sizes seem to be the hero product for these celebrities. She uses a vitamin C-rich serum during the day and a gentle exfoliant at night.
9. Jordan Dunn
This supermodel is on a weekly basis, rushing from one country to another. One of Jordan’s favorite products is her face mask. Dunn is known for making her own face masks because they are nutritious, nourishing, and naturally full of antioxidants. She likes to mix yogurt, honey and turmeric because its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe breakouts after long trips.
10. Alicia Silverstone
You may remember Alicia Silverstone better for her role as Cher Horowitz in the smash hit Clueless. Unlike the well-meaning but rather superficial American teenager she played, Alicia is a huge advocate for the natural cosmetics industry. Unlike the other celebrities mentioned, Silverstone’s skincare consists of absolutely everything 100% organic and natural. This in itself is a major achievement as there are many products that claim to be natural but are not.
Here are 10 celebrities and their favorite natural cosmetics. Choosing natural skincare products is getting easier. You can try DIY recipes at home or research available brands. Procoal’s range of products are completely natural, vegan, cruelty-free and provide excellent results. See for yourself the variety of products available.
DQH Knowledge drop: In your 20s, your skin cell turnover decreases. (Cell turnover is a key component in keeping your skin youthful.) You know what else slows down? Your collagen production. Starting in your 20s, collagen decreases by about 1 percent per year. Should you want to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, start by eliminating behaviors that contribute to premature aging. “If it’s bad for you, it’s bad for your skin,” says dermatologist Michel Somenek.
“Cigarette smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and causes premature wrinkling and a dull skin texture. Making the repeated pursed motion to inhale can also cause smoker’s lines. Alcohol and recreational drugs are toxins for the skin that damage its cellular structure and DNA,” Somenek tells us. “The faster you eliminate vices while you are young, the better chance your skin and body have to recuperate.” Also, adopting an anti-aging routine in your 20s is key. After all, the best offense is a good defense. We spoke to Somenek and experts Joshua Ross and Audrey Kunin to find out more.
Keep reading for the best anti-aging products for your 20s, according to skincare professionals.
Sunscreen
“We all know that the sun is the number one cause of skin aging and starting the prevention in your 20s is very important,” Ross says. “The majority of your sun damage won’t start to appear until you’re in your 30s, so don’t wait until you see it surface or you’ll be behind the curve. Stay ahead of it with a good-quality zinc-based sunscreen worn daily.”
Farmacy Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen
An invisible sunscreen with SPF 30, plus botanical extracts meant to protect skin with tons of antioxidants. Bonus: It’s clean and fine to use under makeup.
Bareminerals Complexion Rescue™ Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Although we recommend you use your SPF and moisturizer separately, we also understand moments when you don’t have time or energy for that extra step. For those times, this bareMinerals moisturizer is a great thing to have on hand.
Vitamin C Serum
“A great introduction to anti-aging is to start with a vitamin C serum in your morning skincare routine,” Ross says. “It’s a powerful antioxidant that will neutralize free radicals and brighten the skin.” He adds that it’s a great way to counteract the effects of the sun’s harmful rays, which, as previously mentioned, are among the biggest causes of premature aging.
Drunk Elephant C-Firma™ Vitamin C Day Serum
The Drunk Elephant C-Firma is a lightweight serum that promises to give skin a glow by combining the brightening powers of vitamin C with ferulic acid, l-ascorbic acid, and vitamin E. The included sodium hyaluronate is meant to replace hydration loss, so you shouldn’t have to deal with any irritation.
Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum
This potent serum is jam-packed with vitamin C (15 percent, to be exact), which means it’s a potential superstar at both brightening skin and dousing it in antioxidants.
Peptides
Using peptides on your skin has many benefits, says Somenek. “The skin barrier is what defends the body against pollution, UV rays, bacteria, and toxins. It can be damaged by several everyday factors. Using topical peptides aids in building a stronger barrier,” he says. “Peptides comprise elastic fibers, which are a type of protein. These fibers help to make skin appear taut and firm. Peptides can also help repair damaged skin, relieve inflammation, and even out skin tone. Some peptides can kill acne-causing bacteria that is common in 20-somethings.”
Kunin agrees, saying, “Peptides are an excellent entry point for supporting collagen.” She recommends looking for face and eye treatments that contain these collagen-boosting powerhouses.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue Cream
This Charlotte Tilbury super-emollient eye cream has a base of coconut oil and shea butter (read: it’s incredibly hydrating). Botanicals plus peptides are meant to help reduce dark circles and boost collagen, respectively.
This creamy moisturizer serves up potent collagen-boosting peptides and pycnogenol, and antioxidant-rich vitamin C. “Instead of sitting on top of the skin, peptides penetrate the outer layer so they go deep. The ‘signals’ they send tell the cells to produce elastin and collagen, which are needed for youthful-looking skin,” explains Somenek.
At-Home Peel Pads
Remember that skin cell turnover fiasco we talked about earlier? One way to help support it is by exfoliating. “Exfoliation is important to help keep skin fresh and luminous,” Kunin says. She recommends using at-home peel pads as an easy and effective way to exfoliate.
“The goal in your 20s is to fight the slowing pace of cell turnover. It is wise to use products that gently exfoliate, yet still remove oil and other impurities. Products that have Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) are a good choice.”
According to Somenek, you should only exfoliate two to three times a week. “People of all ages are guilty of over-exfoliating and that can be too much of a good thing,” he says.
Dermadoctor Kakadu C Intensive Vitamin C Peel Pad
A few swipes of this Derma Doctor powerful peel pad promise to leave your skin glowing and smooth, thanks to the seven (yes, seven) types of chemical exfoliants, including AHA and BHA. It also contains vitamin C via Kakadu plum extract for added brightening and antioxidant protection.
KEY INGREDIENTS Kakadu plum extract is sourced from the Kakadu plum, a fruit grown in northern Australia. It contains vitamin C, which restores the skin’s natural barrier, increases collagen production, and soothes irritation.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel Pads
These are the gold standard of peel pads, with a cult following and over 900 five-star reviews on Sephora. They’re easy to use and contain a blend of anti-aging exfoliating acids.
Emollient Night Cream
“In your 20s, you need to start upping the hydration in your skincare routine. You may have been cautious of over-moisturizing because of acne in your teens, but as you enter your 20s, your skin transitions and becomes drier,” Ross says. “I recommend an emollient night cream added into your evening skincare regimen.”
“Twenty-somethings need to make sure that they are not using creams that will clog their pores and cause excess oil production,” says Somenek. Opt for non-comedogenic products.
Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream
One great choice is the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, which is a non-comedogenic night cream that leaves skin soft and glowy. It combines the moisturizing powers of ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
RoC Retinol Correxion Max Hydration Creme
“The best night cream ingredients contain retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and/or salicylic acid or hyaluronic acid. The goal is to moisturize, yet remove excess oil,” says Somenek. This Roc Retinol Correxion cream fits the bill as it contains both hyaluronic acid and retinol so it promises to moisturize while also being non-comedogenic.
