The act of caring for the skin with natural ingredients has been around for centuries. If natural skin care practices have been around for so long, why are products with harsh chemicals still on the shelves—and what can we do to incorporate natural skin care into our lives? To shed light on the natural skin care movement, Dr. Christina Hector has released The Natural Skin Care Playbook: Everything You Need to Know About Plant-Based Beauty.
In The Natural Skin Care Playbook, board-certified physician and bestselling author Dr. Christina Hector reveals why more people are joining the natural skin care movement. Drawing on her physician background and extensive research, Dr. Christina unveils the science of the human skin and the benefits of natural, plant-based products.
“While in medical school, I was more aware of the information coming to the surface about the harmful ingredients found in hair care products. Performing my research, I learned that these chemical products could also be detrimental to my overall health and wellness. It became apparent that if I did not stop using chemicals in my hair, I would have irreversible hair and scalp damage. Scarier to me was the possibility of developing health issues due to these chemicals. I had to find a solution,” says Dr. Christina.
The topics covered in The Natural Skin Care Playbook, such as the history of skincare and the skin care business, the anatomy of skin, the natural skin care movement, how to start a natural skincare routine, and her own natural skin product line, Dr. Christina provides readers with concrete tools to take ownership of their skin health and shows that natural skin care can be easy and enjoyable.
Dr. Christina says, “Natural skin care products are plant-based products. Using plant-based products for your skin and health is not a new concept. The skin was traditionally treated with plants before modern medications. Customers are looking for products with health benefits and not products that can potentially cause harm. Natural skin products promote moisturizing, soothing, and healing properties.”
