Switching from using regular to natural cosmetics has a
visible effect on the skin. People who are prone to breakouts, allergies, and
rashes can often eliminate those conditions by using organic products that are
ideal for sensitive skins. Besides, allergies are usually triggered by the
application of harsh, unnatural substances. However, this situation is just the
tip of the iceberg.
1.
Artificial beauty products pose high health
risks. According to breastcancerfund.org, synthetic makeup is directly linked
to breast cancer, infertility, birth defects on infants and other
health-related problems. The accumulation of too many toxins in the blood
stream can adversely affect the kidneys, liver, and brain, as well as the
adrenal and thyroid glands.
2.
Be beautiful inside and out. Switch from using
synthetic to natural cosmetic products. Cosmetics made from organic ingredients
do not contain artificial ingredients that will harm your inner body. They do
not contain unnatural dyes or artificial color enriching properties and most of
the ingredients used are plant-based. So you can rest assured the products are
safe to use.
3.
Organic beauty products have healing and
nutrition properties. For example, a natural hair shampoo derived from fruits,
leaves and roots makes hair look fabulous while providing nutrients that
nourish the scalp, which helps to prevent the development of dandruff and other
scalp-related problems.
4.
It is advised that only organic products be used
for the face. These include cleansers, moisturizers, toners and creams. But, of
course, you wish to keep the skin of the rest of your body as healthy as that
of your face, right? So opt for lotions, soaps, oils, and sun blockers that
contain ingredients that are also organic-based.
5.
Use of natural cosmetics promotes eco-friendly
living. Since natural cosmetics are made from natural ingredients, pollution of
the environment by synthetic substances is eliminated. By using organic body
essentials we are individually contributing to living according to higher
ethical values within the larger community, which is fast becoming an integral
part of the advocacy towards greener and healthier living. By using natural
cosmetics we are living in harmony with nature and can continue enjoying the
incredible benefits of doing so many years to come.
