Safe. Natural. Affective Organic skincare.
One of the best things about organic skincare products is that they allow the skin to breathe, letting your inner beauty shine through. Organic lotions in particular are like mother natures perfect gift for your skin. I learned this many years ago when I began experimenting with differnt natural lotions and face creams and soon after people began remarking about the improvement in my skin.
I didn't know it at the time but this was because of the properties of the natural ingredients in the lotions I was using. Instead of chemicals organic lotions contain botanical oils and herbal extracts which promote cell regeneration and infuse the skin with antioxidants. They actually moisturize your skin whereas petroleum based lotions and creams only give an illusion of moisturizing by acting as a sort of paste that holds dead skin cells in place. These lotions may provide some releif temporarily to the feeling of dry skin but they also coat your skin with dangrous chemicals that raise your chances of getting skin cancer.
If the thought of that scares you, and it should, then you will heed the old saying, "never put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put directly in your mouth". This is good advice. The human body absorbs up to 60% of skincare ingredients through the skin. So why use skincare products that would require a trip to the emergency room if you ate them? Instead be smart and use only organic lotions to make sure your skin is only drinking in the healthiest and most natural substances.
Finding the best organic face and body lotions for your skin type.
Organic Moisturizing lotions nourish your skin with essential oils and vitamins, and should be a daily component in everyones skincare regime. But finding the perfect product can be frustrating. When trying to choose a new organic lotion to purchase always take notice of what comes first on the list of ingredients.
People with very dry skin may need to use a heavy oil based night cream, to give their skin the adequate amount of hydration it needs. But once balance is restored usually can do with a lighter moisturizer for daily use.
Oil based lotions will have oil listed as the first ingredient. Products including coco or shea butter are ideal for intense overnight moisturizing. Purchase a water based lotion (water listed as the first ingredient) for every day use.
People with oily skin often think they don't need a moisturizer at all but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact overdrying oily skin causes it to react by producing even MORE oil, so a light water based lotion or jojoba oil should always be used to avoid acne breakouts. Some oils actually have properties which allow them to deliver more moisture to the parts of your face that need it.
