Finding natural healthy skin care products can be difficult. Some companies use the term “natural” very loosely. Others include naturally occurring compounds that are mildly toxic or known to cause allergic reactions. Safety is apparently not their major concern. Anyone that has ever had cosmetic-related contact dermatitis is concerned about safe ingredients. Their dermatologists advise them that the problem can be avoided if they choose their cosmetics carefully, but no one could remember the thousands of different ingredients that should be avoided. Luckily, a few companies are good enough to make products that are free of known allergens, irritants and toxins. The first step then is to find a company like that. The better companies have websites these days even if their products are normally sold in stores. One of the purposes of these websites is to provide information to consumers and help them make educated choices. What is really annoying is when you go to a company website and there is no list of ingredients. If the company says that their products do not contain allergens, irritants and toxins, then you don’t have to worry too much about that. But some natural healthy skin care ingredients are better than others in terms of effectiveness. Let’s say you have eczema. The standard treatment for many years has been coal tar. Some people think of it as a naturally occurring compound, but it is definitely not safe. Research has shown that exposure to the residue contributes to numerous health problems. Coal tar is sometimes effective, but eczema is basically an inflammatory condition complicated by excessive dryness. It is further complicated by irritants like sodium laurel sulfate, commonly found in cleansers. So a complete routine for treating eczema would include avoiding sodium laurel sulfate and other irritants. To treat the inflammation, there are naturally occurring anti-inflammatories with moisturizing qualities. Two of the best are Shea butter and Functional Keratin. You might not need a natural healthy skin care product for treating eczema. Maybe your primary concern is avoiding wrinkles. Interestingly, Shea butter and Functional Keratin help with that, too. Inflammation plays a minor role in wrinkle formation and sagging. It damages and degrades the skin’s elastic collagen fibers. But the main cause of the visible signs of aging is an imbalance in the skin’s antioxidant/free radical balance. Free radical numbers increase in older skin while antioxidant levels decline. Functional Keratin has been shown to correct that imbalance. You could have any number of reasons for seeking natural healthy skin care products. All of the details concerning the best ingredients could not be included in an article of this length. Take the time to do a little more research and you should find what you are looking for.
