Lately I have been venturing into the world of “natural” products after reading several lifestyle articles on their benefits that have helped to sway me away from more conventional goods. Why opt for natural health and beauty products, you might ask? While these products may sometimes be less accessible and harder to find in your local convenient stores, I believe that the benefits are worth the extra bit of effort that goes into finding them. Not only are natural products safer for the earth by emitting fewer chemicals into the air and water during their manufacturing process, but they’re also safer on your skin. Natural products do not contain the artificial chemicals, colors, and fillers usually used in commercial products that can often lead to redness, irritation, and breakouts. Electing to use products with natural preservatives, such as grapefruit seed extract, can also help protect you from side effects of the more commonly used parabens, whose side effects are still being uncovered. It is nice to use products that seem to work with my skin rather than against it!
