Looking to live a low-tox lifestyle without overhauling your life? Small, intentional swaps in your daily routine can make a huge difference for your health, skin, energy, and hormones. Here are my top 10 practical ways to reduce toxins and feel amazing every day.
1. Switch to a Natural Deodorant
Your underarms absorb more than you think. A natural deodorant like Bare + Free keeps you fresh without aluminium or harsh chemicals. Your body will thank you, and you’ll smell fabulous.
2. Choose Low-Tox Skincare & Makeup
If you can’t pronounce the ingredients, it’s probably time for a swap. I love products that are plant-based, mineral-rich, and gentle on the skin. Check out Alluring Minerals Skincare and Makeup and Aktivait Skin — effective, luxe, and toxin-free.
3. Rethink Hair Care
Many shampoos and conditioners contain sulphates and synthetic fragrances. Opt for low-tox options or alternate washes with natural ingredients for healthier hair and scalp.
4. Clean Your Home Naturally
Swap chemical cleaners for natural alternatives like vinegar, baking soda, and castile soap. They’re safe, effective, and create a fresher, low-tox home environment.
5. Use Glass, Stainless Steel & Bamboo
Plastic can leach chemicals into food and drinks. Glass, stainless steel, or bamboo containers are better for your health and the planet. Little swaps = big impact.
6. Mindful Makeup Choices
Go for mineral-based or plant-based makeup free from parabens, phthalates, and synthetic dyes. For gorgeous, toxin-free options, see Alluring Minerals Skincare and Makeup and Aktivait Skin.
7. Filter Your Water
Chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants are in tap water. A simple water filter improves the taste, safety, and health benefits of your daily hydration.
8. Prioritise Whole Foods
A wholefood-based diet supports your energy, hormones, and skin. Swap packaged foods for colourful, nutrient-dense meals. For meal inspo and daily eats, check my Instagram 👉 @xojacquebruggemann
9. Mind Your Laundry
Many detergents contain fragrances and chemicals that linger on fabrics. Switch to natural, gentle options like Hudstone for fresher, low-tox clothes and sheets.
10. Listen to Your Body
Your body gives signals when something’s off ~ fatigue, mood changes, or skin reactions. Tune in, adjust your routines, and celebrate small changes that improve your health and vitality.
Living low-tox isn’t about perfection ~ it’s about making thoughtful choices that support your wellbeing, your family, and your environment. Each small swap adds up to a life that feels lighter, cleaner, and more vibrant.
