Natural Makeup Products Can Improve The Beauty Of Skin

By Haywood Hunter


Natural makeup products are better for a person's skin. Conventional cosmetics tend to look artificial. They cake up, clog pores, and often look and feel heavy and uneven. All natural products compliment a women's natural appearance without adding harsh chemicals and preservatives.

Departments stores are filled with shelves overflowing with cosmetics that most women would never purchase if they knew what they contained. Harsh chemicals, lead, and mercury are just a few of the ingredients that have been found. No one in their right mind would intentionally apply these substances to their skin.

A recent study found that the majority of women's lipsticks contained a significant amount of lead. Over four hundred different types of lipstick was tested. While the United States FDA claims that the levels are safe, many are not convinced. One mother remarked that her young child had experienced a severe reaction to a children's brand "approved" play makeup. The child's face swelled to three times its normal size and was not recognizable. Fortunately the little girl recovered after a trip to the emergency room and medical treatment. This truly begs the question of what is deemed "safe" for use.

The skin is the human body's largest organ. Without it life can not be sustained. It is also absorbent and susceptible to everything in its environment. Now, we can not completely control what is in the air around us, but we certainly have full control of what we put inside and on our bodies. Understanding that what we put on our skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream will make most people think twice about what they may be willingly exposing themselves to.

Just as the human body relies upon nourishment in order to maintain balance and good health, so too does the skin. We have all heard "you are what you eat". The question then becomes "what are we feeding our skin?".

Traditional cosmetics generally contain preservatives, chemical dyes, and oil among other ingredients. For people with chemical sensitivity, acne, eczema and many other conditions this can be a recipe for disaster. Even those without typical skin conditions will frequently experience problems. This makes wearing traditional makeup impossible and certainly not a pleasant experience. In the past, many just did not bother.

Natural makeup products use fewer ingredients and no chemicals. They usually offer a measure of natural SPF. This leaves women looking great, feeling beautiful, and breakout free.
