There is indeed a transition period to go through. The products most often involved are deodorant, shampoo and face care products. The often occlusive ingredients found in conventional products have a "camouflage" effect. The skin and hair must get rid of them and detoxify themselves in order to resume an autonomous and natural way of functioning.
• Switching from a conventional deodorant (antiperspirant containing aluminum salts) to a natural and organic deodorant requires the body to regain control over its perspiration by regulating it naturally.
• The same goes for the scalp and hair, for which it will take time to get rid of the chemical residues (silicones, sulfates).
• For the face, using a natural care product implies that your skin has to regain its biological functioning, regulate itself, get rid of the toxins left from synthetic products, before relearning to produce its own sebum and regain a natural cycle.
These transitions can last several weeks, or even several months in some cases. Don't be discouraged! Everyone can do it and it is bound to be beneficial!
