3 Easy Swaps to Eliminate Toxins from Your Daily Routine

3 Easy Swaps to Eliminate Toxins from Your Daily Routine

Are you trying to live a cleaner, healthier lifestyle? You’re not alone. Many people are beginning to realize how harmful ingredients in everyday products can negatively affect their health. Whether you're struggling with hormone imbalances, sensitive skin, or just want to switch to more natural alternatives—this guide is for you.

As someone managing PCOS and sensitive skin, I became passionate about non-toxic living after a severe breakout caused by commercial soap. That experience led me to take control of what I was putting on my body—and I’ve never looked back.

Here are 3 simple, natural product swaps you can start making today to reduce toxins and support your health.

1. Switch to Goat Milk Soap for Natural Skincare

Conventional soaps often contain harsh detergents and synthetic fragrances that irritate sensitive skin and disrupt hormones. In contrast, goat milk soap is packed with skin-loving nutrients like Vitamin A, selenium, and lactic acid.

Benefits of goat milk soap:

• Moisturizes and soothes dry or itchy skin

• May help with conditions like eczema and psoriasis

• Naturally gentle and pH-balanced

You can find goat milk soap at farmers markets, natural health stores, or online from small businesses. After switching, I noticed immediate relief—and now, even short hotel stays using commercial soap leave my skin feeling dry and uncomfortable.

2. Make Your Own DIY Laundry Detergent

Most commercial laundry detergents are filled with synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions, asthma, or skin irritation.

I struggled with laundry soap reactions for years—until I discovered a simple homemade laundry detergent recipe that’s safe, effective, and budget-friendly.

DIY laundry soap ingredients:

• Baking Soda

• Washing Soda

• Epsom Salt

This powerful, natural combination:

• Removes stains and odors

• Softens water and fabrics

• Costs just 15 cents per load

Plus, it extends the life of your clothes without leaving chemical residues behind. Say goodbye to toxic laundry and hello to truly clean clothes.

3. Choose Natural Lip Balm with Clean Ingredients

Have you ever read the ingredients on your lip balm? Many contain synthetic waxes, preservatives, and petroleum-based ingredients—none of which belong near your mouth.

I started making my own natural lip balm using clean, simple ingredients. One of my favorites is tallow, which helps create a protective barrier and deeply nourishes the lips.

Why switch to homemade lip balm?

• Fewer applications needed throughout the day

• No questionable ingredients or fillers

• Easy to make at home with beeswax, oils, and tallow

Making this switch gave me peace of mind, knowing I was using something safe and effective every day.
