Anti Aging Products - Organic Cosmetics
There has been growing concern for decades over the damaging effects toxic chemicals are doing to our bodies and our environment. Many experts agree that premature aging or at the very least signs of aging are a direct result of this exposure. Cosmetic manufacturers have been responding by creating more naturally based anti aging products. Most women now make a conscious effort to seek out cosmetic products made from natural ingredients that won't irritate their skin. The increasing demand for safer and more effective beauty products has helped the organic cosmetics industry to explode.
Living 'organic' is often associated with the food we grow and eat but it has now been extended to include a whole world of products from clothing to cosmetics. People who have lived a natural lifestyle are rapidly adopting these new organic products. Having an organic beauty treatment is now en vogue. At one time you had to shop at health and spa stores for natural cosmetics but now major retailers all over the country carry a vast assortment of organically based products. As an example of consumer acceptance and demand, Organic Shampoo and soap made from essential oils are among the top selling personal care products.
Are Organic Cosmetics all the same and what they're purported to be?
Well of course the answer is no. They're not. The quality and representation of these products is highly dependent on the brand of makeup and beauty product you buy. Some product labels claim they are made from natural ingredients but are unable to prove it. That said there are a number of reputable cosmetic manufacturers who offer true organic beauty products that have been proven to at least reduce the look of aging. So, how does one sort the quality products which really do contain effective natural ingredients from the ones who are simply hype?
The first step is to learn how to read your labels. Real Organic products do not contain harmful ingredients and toxic substances. They are made mostly from essential oils and herbs. Things you find in nature. Remember even though these ingredients sound natural it's important to make certain they have not been exposed to chemicals like pesticides or synthetic preservatives. Many anti aging treatments do show essential oils on the label but read carefully they can also contain active toxic ingredients and additives that aren't good for you and may in fact wipe out any good the essential oils are doing.
Beware of products that contain small amounts of 'natural plant extracts' while the majority of the contents have long technical names you've never even heard of. Use your common sense Organic Cosmetics will have natural organic components as the largest part of their makeup.
Here's a trick question for you - what is the largest organ in the body? The answer - your skin! It's a trick question because this organ actually covers our body rather than being 'in' it. Many health care experts are becoming concerned about the potential carcinogenic effects of some beauty products. When you realize the skin is an organ which allows everything it comes into contact with to be absorbed into the body and the bloodstream you can understand the reason for this concern.
Aware of what goes into our bodies extends beyond the mouth and is another reason we need to think carefully about what we put on our bodies as well as in them. Choosing products with natural ingredients is one of the best ways to stay healthy. Even if the cosmetics you've used since you were young have just a tiny bit of toxins they can still cause you harm and accelerate to the effects of aging.
