Finding the right kind of skin care products can be quite a cumbersome and tedious task, especially if you have a tricky skin type. Chemical based products may be a good and quick fix for your skin. But does it really treat your skin issues from within or just hide your flaws by providing you with some makeshift relief? To know why natural skin care products are a safer, sustainable and a much more effective as well as an efficient option, we need to understand the difference between natural skin care products and chemical based ones.
Natural skin care products
The use of fresh plants, herbs, flowers and roots to enhance one’s beauty, dates back to the Egyptians, as early as 3000 BCE. The Egyptians made exceptional efforts and placed immense worth and importance on skin care and beauty. They used simple, natural and easily available ingredients such as sesame, castor, honey, olive oil, along with some never heard of skin care ingredients such as ostrich eggs and dough. (Not for everybody, right?) These naturally derived skin care secrets have not only been used and shown up in the archeological studies, but they have also been meticulously recorded in several forms. Made from organically and sustainably grown natural ingredients, natural skin care products, do not include harsh or skin damaging chemicals. They not only have minimal side effects or any kind of long lasting ill-effects on your skin, they are also usually better at helping mother nature, by reducing their toxic chemical waste and carbon footprint.
The difference between using natural skin care products vs chemical based ones, are not only multiple but also varied. Let us point some glaring differences and benefits of using natural skin care products.
• Harsh chemicals
Unlike skin care products made using natural ingredients, chemical based products are loaded with powerful yet extremely harmful chemicals. These chemicals, which are usually contaminated with carcinogens, penetrate your skin through the pores, leaving you at a risk for various types of cancers. Apart from this grave issue, the instantaneous reactions it may cause are itching, redness, inflammation, flaky skin and redness. Natural skin care products may be a bit slow acting, but they target not the surface issues, but the deep seated reasons behind it, thus eradicating the need and use of fast acting chemical laden products.
• Sensitive skin
Having a sensitive skin type can be quite a delicate situation and dealing with it can be quite a time and energy consuming task. Sudden flare ups, redness, rashes, itching and skin irritation, are some of the more commonly observed skin problems one faces. The reason for it, you ask? Harsh chemicals, strong fragrances, rough exfoliators and many more. By using natural skin care products, one can rest assured that the mild and gentle herbs will do their job without chaffing or irritating your fragile skin barrier.
• Strong fragrances
We all like a nice mild fragrance in our skin care products. The lingering fragrance, which stays on our skin all day makes our skin feel pampered and loved. Natural skin care products emit out a mild
fragrance of the natural ingredients and not added substitutes. On the other hand, strong, harsh, chemical infused fragrances are not only annoying, they also cause headaches and skin irritations. Strong fragrances are also known to cause skin dermatitis, due to the broken skin barrier, which is a known effect of Atopic Eczema.
• Preservatives
Chemical preservatives are added to skin care products to elongate their use-by-date. These synthetic preservatives can penetrate your skin and cause major hormonal disruptions. Paraben is one of the most commonly used preservatives in skin care products. Apart from wrecking havoc with your hormones, studies also prove that paraben increases the risk of multiple types of cancers. Minimal to no use of parabens, is a major reason, that more and more people are now looking to switch to natural skin care products.
Now that we have covered why natural skin care products are better than others, the next question one can ask is how does one choose from the vast variety of products to choose from?
Dry skin
People who have a dry skin type usually tend to feel their skin taut and dry. It is often flaky and dehydrated and feels tight to touch and see. The pores in a dry skin type are usually tiny.

Oily skin
People who have an oily skin type, usually find their face looking greasy and sticky very often. They usually have large pores that get clogged frequently due to the excess sebum production. The need to wash their face more regularly is, the only way to obtain that grease free look for a few hours.

Combination skin
If your skin feels greasy on your T zone, i.e. Forehead, nose, chin area and if it’s dry around the cheeks and jaw, you have a combination skin type. Choosing skin care products is completely baffling for this skin type. The pores on your face seem large around the oily T zone, and tiny over the dry skin areas.
