Lets talk about simple beauty!

Haircare, skin routines, makeup, and a little bit of health that are aimed to be on the simple side.
It can be but is not limited to;

fewer ingredients
less intrusive and more gentle ingredients
food or non/lightly processed products
nopoo / lowpoo
‘no makeup’ makeup
homemade products

A lot would say this is natural beauty, and I guess it is but I keep thinking there are a lot of dangerous ingredients that are natural too, like asbestos.

It is much easier to give advice if we know what climate you are in and in what country/area you live. Tell us what type of climate you're in and what area you live in, example:
Mild summers & cold winters, North Europe, Sweden
Skin/hair type
Different skin and hair types need different types of products. Remember that these can change due to your overall health, season, and age.

As the title says, How do you do simple beauty?

Scandinavia, warm but mild summers, cold and dry winters.
28yo, 1A hair, normal/dry-ish skin, 1C/F/i hair

For me, hair is my biggest focus right now, I've recently started to strip my hair from silicones again. I'm not sure what my next step will be tho. I've done CO washes before and I might go back to that.
The shampoo I'm using is from Coop Änglamark (if you click on "produktfakta" you get the ingredients).

My skincare isn't very regular, especially when I'm stressed so I got a cleanser that is a bit stronger, L300 Deep Cleansing Gel, I'm not sure I'm super happy with that choice.
For moisture, I use Nivea, a classic here in Sweden.
As for my body, I use a lotion from Coop Änglamark, one of the few I don't feel sticky after using.

When shaving I use a safety razor and shaving foam gel, I think next time I'll buy shaving soap as I already have a brush. (it's nice to test new things once in a while)
I do get razor bumps/ingrown hairs when shaving the bikini area so I recently got an aftershave to see if it helps, so I'll see if I can figure out if I can make my own.
According to Shenet (Swedish page) an aftershave is practically water or cream with some alcohol or other disinfectant in it.

Tell me about your simple beauty 😊

Bit late to the party, but I just do basic skincare (cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen). I do my nails every 1-2 weeks.

(Btw, I really like the sticky post too)

(wow, thanks! I still need to finish it haha)
