EXTREME MINIMALIST Personal Care & Skincare Products

All the products I use as an eco conscious, eco friendly, environmental minimalist. I have been at varying extremes with my personal care and skincare as an extreme minimalist. However, I have learned over the last few years what works best for me. That these products also don't have to be inflexible. I can have more at some points of the year. Depending on the season, climate and environment. We can be gentle with our skin, body and mind and listen to our intuition of knowing what feels restrictive for us and what doesn't. What may feel restrictive for some minimalists may not for others. I learned that olive oil soap alone was not great for my very curly type 3 hair. For awhile, my skin didn't mind this extremity. However, after a recent move, with a different water source. My skin has become dry. So now I allow myself to have more products as and when needed. I also made sure there were no other medical factors contributing to any of these skin issues, there is not. Nothing dietary. I just simply have eczema prone skin. Which flares up from time to time now. You can subscribe to my youtube channel for FREE below ⬇️or: MY YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBE LINK youtube.com/c/SagelifeMinimalism?sub_confirmation=…

Tha is for this! I’ve also started using the Yuka app to scan my products to check the ingredients list. It shocked me that even some natural products I had contained hazardous chemicals

Great video! I too found Olive Oil soap too harsh for my skin. Dr. Bronners made my eczema way worse (even diluted) and had to find a non-oil based cleansing bar that worked. Our health is far more important! Thanks for sharing!

I think people involved with environmentalism miss the fact that social justice is a major part of the movement - which includes equity and access to healthcare! We are in a climate crisis because of excessive production and consumption, not because of people who have to be health conscious. Eco-minimalists, learn to be kind to yourself when it comes to your health - you are supposed to take care of yourself! You're not the problem and anyone who shames you for it has a shallow and uneducated perspective on the movement. Your life is valuable, always. Most products have misleading marketing that perpetuates pseudoscience and misinformation, and as a person with a chemistry degree, I watch people in this community fall for it because they don't know better and the sources they trust have taken advantage of them. Taking care of your health should never be a reason to be self-conscious about your values, but maybe you can consider how misinformation and marketing have influenced your purchasing habits in other areas instead.

For deodorant, i have switched to a bha/aha toner. It works amazing, and i am very very sensitive to all other deodorants.

I used to love aveeno balm before i went vegan. Thanks for sharing your thought process on the dilema with medicines. Love your vids!

I also have very fair skin and I hate when people tell me that I look tired or sick and it's just my skin... And with dark hair 😅 It's good to let your skin breathe 😌 Does the Aveeno works well for you? 😊 we don't have this brand in France 🤔 I love the Wild deodorant, personnaly I put once and it works! The only bad thing is white stains... 😕 Nice video as always!! ❤

I use AKT deodorant, and it works great for me 😊

Hi, try allumen stone as deodrant, it's amazing.

Have you tried salt of the earth deodorant? I have got just a block of it that came in a cardboard box. No plastic packaging or anything. You just wet the salt block and apply under arms. I’m not sure if it is very effective though

In your previous video you said with Wild deodorant you needed to reapply every few hours! This isn’t true, I use Wild deodorant, apply it after my morning shower and it’s great all day no problem at all, doesn’t need reapplying.
