Why You Should Use Organic/Natural Skincare Products
In our last article, we talked about what the term organic and natural actually mean when it comes to skincare. In case you missed it, you can read it here.
We would be sharing today amazing reasons why using organic or natural skincare products is the best and healthy way to take care of your skin. If you have cared to observe, you would notice that major brands are catching on to the growing fact that consumers want natural and organic skincare product, but many, without even changing the formulas are slapping a “natural” or “organic” sticker when it’s not. While major corporations may want you to stick to the brands you’ve always been exposed to in billboards and on televisions, it’s time to treat your body with respect by switching to what it really needs: natural and organic skincare products. So if you are in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, choosing organic skincare is a priority.
As we discover the increased benefits of organic products, it is no surprise that they are more popular than ever. If you haven’t jumped on the organic beauty products train yet, check out these top 3 benefits of them and learn more about how much better they are for you.
1. Organic Products Are Healthier for You
Most people forget that your skin is an organ. In fact, your skin is the largest organ in your body. Not only that, but think about everything that your skin has to go through on a daily basis. The surfaces that it has to deal with, the cuts and scratches, and not to mention, all the harmful chemicals.
This is especially important when you think about how the skin operates. Basically, your skin acts like a giant sponge and absorbs everything you put on it, whether that is good or bad. This is very bad when you use lotions, creams, makeup and other beauty products that have harmful chemicals in them. What makes this really scary is that a lot of chemicals that are commonly used in beauty products haven’t been tested, so we don’t know a ton of potential health problems that they might cause. A conventional (synthetic) beauty product isn’t going to have one or two chemicals in it- it has hundreds. All of that is soaking into your skin and going directly into your bloodstream, and they can integrate into your other major organs. Likewise, the nourishing and healthy organic and natural ingredients used in organic skincare products.
2. Avoiding Chemicals and Synthetics
Using Organic and Natural products ensures you stay away from synthetics and chemicals.
As the rate of illness and diseases continue to rise, there are increasing studies showing the connection between illness and chemicals which calls for our need to eliminate or reduce exposure to synthetics. These ingredients are often fast acting and invasive and sometimes are causing harm we cannot see. Often the exposure shows in the form of skin irritation, chronic headaches, cancers, breathing disabilities, hormone disruption, severe sunburn, uneven discoloration of the skin etc. The range of symptoms is too vast to list everything, but you can see how it covers minor symptoms right up to life-threatening consequences. To what end?! you may ask. I’ll tell you, first and foremost: money, cheap ingredients are easy to manufacture and market. Most of these products are designed to do a simple job to help you with one aesthetic purpose; smoother less visible wrinkles, sun spots disappear, you get fairer in 4-7 days! Sounds familiar? These are just a few of the promises that have been made and believe me, they can deliver. But all too often, there is a high price attached to it: asphyxiation of the skin, accelerated dehydration, photosensitivity. In plain English: cutting oxygen exchange to the skin, premature aging, increased risk of sunburns (as can be seen with those using synthetic bleaching products).
3. It’s Better for Your Purse (in the long run)
Anybody who’s ever switched from synthetic skincare to natural and organic skincare might be laughing out loud at the fact that the switch could be good for your purse, and they are absolutely right because up until now, organic and natural skincare products generally are quite expensive and hence inaccessible to some people. But there is a merit attached to this statement! For instance, this 250ml Natural Moisturizing Lotion by Marvels’ Skincare (for dark-skinned individuals and those seeking a fairer skin) and this 150g Natural Beauty Soap are both under ₦1500 and ₦250 respectively. Plus, you may find that switching to organic and natural products improves your skin and simplifies your routine, meaning less money spent on other products.
By using natural and organic products, you know what is going on your skin. You don’t have to worry about chemicals that you have never heard of and what they might do to your body. Instead, these organic products have ingredients that have been researched to be safe and compatible with your skin.
