While some of these may seem to be ancient remedies getting a modern makeover, others are fantastic and sustainable new technologies. People are turning towards natural and organic beauty products because they are finalising understanding the long effects chemical products can have on their body and the environment as well.

With so many trends popping up every minute, it’s hard to keep track of what’s genuine and what’s not. To help you out, we have put together the ultimate list of the top clean and green beauty trends to follow -

Antiperspirants have a notorious reputation for their aluminium content, which clogs our sweat glands to minimize perspiration and body odour. While there have been several studies linking aluminium to breast cancer and Alzheimer’s, nothing’s conclusive.

But it’s better to be safe than sorry. That’s why aluminium-free deodorants made of natural ingredients have gone mainstream and are trending right now.

From face masks to toothpaste, activated charcoal is everywhere. It is a great absorbent and has become the new detox trend. When mixed with face masks, it helps remove dirt and oil from the skin’s pores, thereby unclogging them and making the skin firmer, cleaner, and brighter.

Studies claim that activated charcoal in toothpaste naturally whitens the teeth and reduces bad breath. Other studies claim that activated charcoal helps reduce bloating and flatulence.

Due to growing awareness and education on the harmful effects of preservatives and chemicals associated with traditional skin care products, many are embracing natural alternatives such as beauty superfoods. Popular superfoods include goji berry, pomegranate, cranberry, coffee berry, acai, turmeric (or curcumin) and chia seed oil. Sometimes, the skin needs a boost from within and that’s where supplements come in. Supplements for Vitamins A, C, E are being used to rejuvenate hair, skin, and nails. Others in demand include supplements for collagen, biotin, Coenzyme Q10 (or CoQ10), hyaluronic acid, and phytonutrients.

Probiotics are live bacteria found in yoghurt and other supplements that generally treat problems in the stomach. In skin care products, probiotics are supposed to rebuild your skin cells and bring a glow to the skin. They are particularly helpful with repairing sensitive skin, acne, and combating the effects of free radicals.

Rollers made from jade or rose quartz are in demand because they are amazing for the skin. These rollers massage the skin, detoxify it, and tone the facial muscles. This, in turn, helps reduce wrinkles and puffiness.

With growing awareness of the presence of pesticides in skin care products, many brands are sourcing local, organic ingredients for their products. In addition to being more effective, local, organic ingredients are often produced without pesticides and other toxins.

Being locally grown, they also cut transportation costs which helps reduce environmental pollution caused by machines and vehicles.

Reducing plastic use has a huge impact on environmental pollution. Several beauty companies are now switching to environmentally-friendly, biodegradable packaging to alleviate the dangers of climate change. While some brands are using recyclable materials, others are coming up with plant-based packaging to do away with even recycling.

Everyone craves beautiful skin. With these natural beauty trends, glowing, radiant, and refreshing skin has become a lot easier. With natural ingredients, the effects would also be long-lasting and not have adverse effects in the long run.
