Are Natural skin care products the answer to all problems?

We've received quite a number of requests for this one. In fact, people always ask similar questions like these. Are natural skincare products the answer to everything? Are natural skincare products better compared to others? You get the idea. When it comes to skincare products, you will find that many people are very particular about using only natural skincare products, because they think that it is natural. Hence, it has to be better in terms of quality. They treat all the synthetic products as though they are harmful to the skin.

Therefore, are natural skincare products the answer to all of our problems? Have you ever thought of what if a natural skincare product is not available for the treatment of a particular skin disorder? Are the synthetic skincare products so harmful that they should be banned?

Various people have different answers to these questions. However, the reality is that due to the presence of synthetic preservatives, it is surprisingly tough to find a natural skincare products that are 100% natural. There are natural skincare products that have natural preservatives, but their cost might be detrimental. Besides, such natural skin products have a shorter shelf life and hence are not preferred by the manufacturers of natural skincare products. It is just not a wise choice business-wise.

Some people carry a wrong notion that since natural skincare products are natural, they cannot cause any harm to the skin. Well, that's a common misconception; it's just basically not true. The suitability of a skincare product is not based on whether it is synthetic or natural. An unsuitable natural skincare product can cause harm to you in almost the same way as a synthetic one. So, use natural skincare products, but be open to synthetic ones too as you might need them when a natural solution is not available.

Your selection of a natural skincare product should be based on three factors: 

1) The skin type (dry, oily, normal, sensitive) of the person who will use that natural skincare product

2) The climatic conditions in which it will be used e.g. hot and humid condition would warranty the use of oil-free natural skin care products.

3) The process for application or use of the natural skincare product. An excellent natural skincare product can seem useless if not used correctly.

Did you know that you can also make natural skincare products by yourself? You can do so by using the recipes that are readily available on the internet and in the books at book stores. 

The use of organic fruits and vegetables is also popular as a natural skincare procedure. Some essential oils, herbal oils, are useful too and are known for their moisturizing and antiseptic properties.

Nevertheless, using a natural skincare product does not mean that you can exercise carelessness with other skincare aspects. Natural skincare products should be used as supplements to the following recommendations: healthy eating habits by voiding oily food, regular exercise, drinking a lot of water at least 8 glasses every day, and cleanliness. This will then form a perfect and completely natural skincare routine that will help maintain a healthy, beautiful skin for a longer period of time.
