Beauty’s only skin deep – natural skincare benefits
I studied aromatherapy over five years ago and started making my own natural facecare after being asked to do a facial by a client. I didn’t want to use expensive products full of different chemicals, that I couldn’t explain to my clients.
After lots of research and experimenting, I came up with a facial range aimed at three different skin types, blemish prone, normal/combination, and sensitive/dry/mature.
The fascinating thing is, how many different natural ingredients you can use, and how much better they are for many reasons. Here’s a few:
- Natural products are better for the environment
- There’s no production of nasty chemicals
- These chemicals aren’t introduced to wildlife or local eco-systems
- Not needing these ingredients to be manufactured, reduces the carbon footprint.
- Safer for the body
- No negative health effects from synthetic ingredients
- No chemicals seeping into the blood stream or cells
- Naturally look and feel better due to not having these chemicals in your system
- Natural products don’t harm animals
- They aren’t tested on animals, because they don’t need to be!
- Synthesised chemicals are not released in to the eco system
- Manufacture to create synthetics is not needed
- The nutrients in natural products are beneficial
- Natural ingredients have vitamins and compounds that help the body to function at its optimal level
- They are easier on the skin
- Natural ingredients less likely to irritate skin
- There aren’t as many allergic reactions – and those that occur can be easily identified
- Less likely to have flaky, dry or imbalanced skin due to the nutrients
- The effect is on a bigger scale
- As well as being better for the environment and your body many natural skincare products are sustainable and fair trade.
- The effects are better and more noticeable
- Because they help cells function at the optimum level the effects are longer lasting and more noticeable over time.
- Money saving
- Because they work, you need less. You need less, you buy less!
- Many small batch producers will reuse and recycle packaging, saving money!
