Should I be switching to Organic or Natural Skincare Products?
It may seem trivial at first and you may be dismissing this saying "I only put it on my skin, I do not swallow my chemically based moisturiser!" However we all know that the very purpose of most skincare products is for our body to assimilate and absorb the ingredients which are mean to carry the positive benefits. Would we really spend our hard earned money on products that merely coat the surface of the skin and then get washed away the second we jump in the bath or shower?If like me you feel the answer is no then you will start understanding the reason so many people are now seriously looking at what ingredients make up there favourite skincare products. You will be surprised when you look, trust me, and I can safely assume you are not going to know what 99% of these ingredients are or even how to pronounce them!
At the end of the day you are going to have to make an informed decision after doing your own research and making a judgment call on the benefits. After many years of not looking at or questioning what I ate, what I drank or what I put on my skin I can honestly say I have been very lucky to have my eyes opened. I feel now that I am making more informed decisions as to what I use and what I eat and drink and feel a lot better for it. Knowing exactly what I put on my skin has left me with no doubt as to the benefits of natural and organic skincare products and the feeling that you are left with that you are no putting any potentially harmful chemicals on your skin.
The jury will always be out and no doubt the big players in the skincare market will be quick to dismiss organic and natural skincare (or embrace it to make lots of money!) but please consider all angles and just think about it.
