When transitioning to natural skincare, some people experience a temporary adjustment period often referred to as purging. This happens as your skin begins to detox and rebalance&#x2014;especially if you&apos;re switching from products that contain synthetic ingredients like alcohols, detergents, or silicones.During this time, you might notice increased breakouts, flaking, or changes in oil production as your skin sheds built-up impurities and dead skin cells more rapidly. While this can be normal, it&#x2019;s not something everyone experiences.To help ease the transition, we recommend:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Scaling back your routine to just cleansing and moisturizing</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Gradually reintroducing additional products one at a time, waiting 5&#x2013;7 days between each</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Patch testing before full use to check for compatibility</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration:none;">Discontinuing use if irritation persists or worsens</li></ul>Need help navigating this process? We&#x2019;re happy to offer guidance. Email us at <a href="mailto:hello@bambuearth.com">hello@bambuearth.com</a>&#xA0;to request personalized weekly ritual updates while you get started.

Our skin gets used to the various products we use that can contain alcohol, detergents, and toxins, like shampoos, face washes, toners, moisturizers, soaps, foundation, and sunscreens. But when we switch to more natural products, our skin may go through a detox period, which is also called purging. During this time, our skin can shed dead cells faster, leading to dryness, flaking, excess oil production, or breakouts. To help ease the purging process, it's recommended to simplify your skincare routine.


If you begin to experience purging, reduce your routine to include cleansing and moisturizing only, and then slowly reintroduce products to your skin, waiting at least 5-7 days between changes. 


Here are some example routine outlined below:
