Our skin epitomizes beauty. It is made up of proteins, fatty acid chains, and other minerals that lend it its taut structure, glow, and good health. When we use chemical products, we do our skin more harm than good. Most cosmetics and beauty products like creams, lotions, and balms are loaded with lots of chemical agents. These chemicals aren't a part of your skin's natural structure. Providing your skin with something that is foreign to its structure is like imposing something on it for the sake of temporary show.
You suffer from a variety of skin problems like acne, scars, breakouts, blackheads, uneven skin tone, and others due to use of these chemicals. Moreover, the more you use these skincare products, the more you damage the environment. Why harm the eco system in a bid to enhance your beauty? Isn't that cruel? And that cruelty comes back to you in the form of pollution of natural resources. Pollution, in turn, harms you and your skin. So, to end that vicious circle and to benefit you and your environment, vow to use only organic products for your skin. You may not be in the forefront of the war to protect the environment, but you can certainly do your bit to protect it by using organic products.
Organic products are those made from 100% natural resources like plant extracts or minerals. What goes into your skin is acceptable to it, and hence it doesn't react in a hostile way like giving rise to acne, spots, etc.
If you are a mom of a small baby like me and you want something that is good both for you and your baby, then try Burts Bees. I have tried the shea butter body lotion. It is wonderful. It not only made my baby's skin smooth, but my own skin also now is so soft and shiny as if I were born yesterday. I just love the feel of the skin cream-so soft, yummy, and fragrant. If it were edible, I would have eaten it!
If you have intensely dry skin that needs a lot of moisture to be at its normal state and pH, then you must go for Vaseline skin products. Whether your dry skin is a result of genetics, thyroid dysfunction, skin disorders like psoriasis, or seasonal changes like extreme heat or extreme cold, all can be tackled with an effective Vaseline skin cream or lotion. When your skin is dry, it needs a dose of fatty acids that form a component of natural skin oils. Petroleum jelly is a product that is harvested from mines and is very much borne out of earth and not in a man made industrial process in a factory.
Body oils that are extracted from vegetables or nuts but are left in their virgin (unrefined state) are the best for your skin. When you refine them, they lose their original skin nourishing properties, and certain chemicals are added to them while processing. So, choose virgin oils like olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, etc for your skin. Your skin will turn out to be as plump and healthy as a baby's skin.
Since we are borne out of nature, whatever is natural is also amicable to us, and the rest may or may not be. Organic products are indeed the best for your skin, not in immediate terms but for the overall health and beauty of your skin.
