Simplifying Your Skincare Routine with Wildcraft
I'm devoting a few of my posts this month to a topic I've been struggling a great deal with in my 30's. Skincare and the struggle with simplifying your skincare routine. In my 20's, I was always conscious about washing my face, sometimes applying sunscreen on over my moisturizer, etc. Let's just say I was never a fan of falling asleep with my makeup on. (Hey, it happened sometimes....) However, hitting my mid-thirties has been no joke on my skin!
My Need for Simplifying My Skincare Routine
Moving to Toronto and turning thirty-four had me thinking a lot about my skin. Being in my mid-thirties, I started seeing wrinkles in new places and I waking up with really, really tired looking eyes. A combination of age and weather had me looking into skincare brands that would be healthy for my changing skin.
As it so happened, I was invited to the opening of Health Hut, a wonderful skincare boutique in Toronto. The owner, Tara, opened up my eyes to Wildcraft Skincare, a simple, affordable skincare line made in Toronto. She spoke to me about the importance of simplifying your skincare routine. Partners, Laura and Jessica, started Wildcraft Skincare a little over 3 years ago. They were inspired to create a 100% natural, high quality skin care brand (with approachable price points. I love that!)
Getting to Know Wildcraft Skincare
Co-owner, Laura and I e-sat down for a quick Q & A about healthy skin and how Wildcraft Skincare came to be. Read on the learn more about this fabulous brand and maybe even learn a thing or two about simplifying your skincare routine! This is a Canadian brand you want to know more about!
1 - How did Wildcraft Skincare come about?
After having made the switch to natural ourselves we found that one of biggest barriers to entry was cost. While there is a lot of truth to the point that you get what you pay for, in our view ingredients don’t have to be exotic or rare to be effective.
By taking a consciously minimalistic approach to our ingredient selection, sourcing close to home and keeping our formulations simple we’ve been able to create a beautiful line of largely organic, everyday essentials all under $34.00.
2 - What makes Wildcraft Skincare so unique?
Approachability! We keep things simple, using truly natural, largely organic ingredients. Having small-batch, handmade products aren't unique on their own. But bringing them all together at affordable prices is what really makes Wildcraft stand out!
3 - Why should women be thinking about simplifying their skincare routine?
It’s your opportunity to engage in a little self care ritual everyday.
4- Is it too late in your 30's to make up for not paying attention to skincare in your 20's?
It’s absolutely not too late! Our products are very soothing, healing, nutrient dense and vitamin rich. Since they have essential oils in them they also have added aromatherapy benefits which make them an absolute joy to use. Just like it is never too late to start eating healthy, whole, nutritious food it is never too late to start treating your beautiful skin. Your body will absolutely thank you for it!
5- What's a basic way you can start thinking about simplifying your skincare routine?
Morning
- Jump out of a hot shower, dry off and then immediately mist face, neck and chest with one of our toners.
- While the toner is still wet, put a few drops of our cell-regenerating face serum in hands and gently massage into face, neck and chest.
Evening
- In the evening, remove my makeup with our chamomile honey makeup remover.
- Then follow up with a wipe of a warm face cloth, mist of toner and a nickel sized amount of our face cream.
Extras
- About two times a week, use our face and body buff in the shower
- When there is time, use one of our three body moisturizers (oil, lotion or cream)
