Natural Skin Care Products Are The Answer To Your Skin Care
Problems.
Natural skin care products, or as I prefer to call them these
days Holistically-Natural skin care products are most definitely
the only answer to responsible healthy skin care. Any effect
achieved by synthetic product can be achieved using natural
means, if you know how.
These days many consumers treat synthetic ingredients in their
skin care as potentially harmful, and so they should. To settle
this in your own mind, just have a look at this vast list of chemicals commonly found in
mass-produced skin care products (some of these are also found
in so-called natural skin care products).
If you are asking yourself whether natural skin care products
are the answer to all your skin care problems? The answer is a
definite Yes. I have not come across a single skin problem that
cannot be addressed equally well using natural skin care
products as using any other types. Admittedly, I've only been in
practice for just over 20 years, however, so far I have yet to
see a skin condition that cannot be treated using a natural
approach, excluding of course emergency medical conditions such
as severe 3rd degree burns over large parts of the body,
etc.
In an article I can across recently, entitled "Are Natural Skin
Care Products the Answer To All Problems?", the author asks the
following questions:
So, are natural skin care products the answer to all of our
problems? What if a natural skin care product is not available
for the treatment of a particular skin disorder? Are the
synthetic skin care products so harmful that they should be
banned?
The answer is - No natural skin care products do not fix all
of our problems. Maybe the author should have asked ...so,
are natural skin care products to answer to all our skin
care problems? - then the answer would have still been
No, and neither do any other skin care products on the market
today - natural or otherwise.
Not all skin problems can be treated using some topical
application - Many diseases such as measles, chickenpox, herpes
and many more are diseases, which as part of their
symptomatology, have a skin component. To think that using
natural skin care products or for that matter a synthetically
formulated skin care product could treat this types of
conditions is ludicrous.
Sure, combine your internal medication (natural or drug-based)
with a good quality, natural skin care product to address the
itching, irritation and redness, etc., but don't think for one
moment that a skin care products is going to effect the
chickenpox virus or any other infectious disease.
Similarly, skin problems just like any other long-term disorder
have a multi-faceted complexity and require a systemic approach
to treatment.
If on the other hand we are simply referring to dry,
oily, mature or sensitive skin, than there is no need for
synthetic chemicals. Nor is this the case in the treatment of
dermatitis, psoriasis or similar conditions, unless they are of
a genetic origin - then there is very little that can be done
other than symptom control, which natural skin care products can
do just as well as any synthetic equivalent, if not better.
You see most mass-produced skin care products, whether they are
100% natural skin care products or have a synthetic component,
will not work on any condition that has an internal disease
process involved. For example a hormonal imbalance may cause
acne. This acne will persist until the hormonal imbalance is
corrected.
Similarly, viral infections can cause skin rashes and they will
persist until the viral infection has been addressed. Again,
sure use a topical ointment or cream for the rash and yes, make
sure it is a natural skin care product, because you don't need
to introduce more chemicals into the body, which it may have
difficulty in utilising and/or eliminating.
In the same article, the answers to the above questions
states:
Different people have different answers to these questions.
However, the reality is that due to presence of synthetic
preservatives, it's really tough to find a natural skin care
product that is 100% natural. There are natural skin care
products that have natural preservatives, but their cost might
be detrimental. Moreover, such natural skin products have a
shorter shelf life and hence are not preferred by the
manufacturers of natural skin care products.
Firstly, 100% natural skin care products are really not hard to
find. There are dozens of companies that produce good quality,
natural skin care products and they can be found using Yahoo,
MSN or Google without much difficulty. Yes, they can be
expensive, but they are no more expensive than similar, products
containing synthetic chemicals produced by major brands such as
L'Oreal, Lanc
