In a world full of technology, machines and elements, the only
thing protecting our bodies is our skin. Did you know we spend
around 6 to 20 percent of our disposable income on products for
our skin? Our skin is important to us and most of us will do
anything to preserve its youth and longevity. But do we ever
think about what we put on our skin every day?
Sure, many products claim to be safe or may even appear to be
safe, but beyond the short term benefits of using the cosmetic,
there are long term effects from daily absorption of its use.
Creams that are suppose to treat dry skin may actually strip the
skin of its natural oils, which are useful in preventing
dryness. Some contain chemicals that seep through the skin and
defat the skin.
So what's a better alternative? Natural cosmetics! Consider
switching to completely natural products, which perform to the
same standard as their non-natural counterparts. Whether you are
a makeup artist or an esthetician that may use cosmetics every
day or a consumer who applies the occasional moisturizer, we may
not see any immediate effects from the current products we are
using. Even though we are all dying for beautiful skin, keep in
mind the healthy alternatives. We only have one skin, so care
for it properly.
