It shouldn't take a degree in chemical engineering to be able to read a skin cleanser label. But with multi-syllable words and mystery chemicals, you don't really know what you are putting on your face and body when you use popular, commercial products. By choosing certified organic skin care products and handmade natural bath and body products, you can be confident in their origin, purpose and function.

Your delicate skin is the first line of defense against sun, pollution, wind, stress and germs. As the largest organ in your body, contributing 15% to 20% of your total body weight, it is easy to neglect your skin because

it is so easy to take for granted. But your skin has many important jobs to do and it needs the proper nutrition and care to perform at its highest level. Nutrition and care for skin comes from both the inside and the outside.

In addition to proper nutrition and exercise, sufficient sleep and plenty of water, your skin requires a daily regime that helps it regenerate and combat both internal and external factors. Natural organic skin care products can nourish your skin rather than stripping it of essential oils and introducing irritations such as fragrances, preservatives, harsh detergents and unnecessary chemicals. Botanicals and purely organic ingredients perform the same functions as commercial detergents but with a simpler, gentler process.

Organic skin care uses natural, certified ingredients to work together in synergy to accomplish the same goals as commercial products with without the harsh effects.

Organic natural handmade soap and cleansers gently remove make up, dirt, oils and pollution without stripping your skin. Natural fats and oils found in our body butters and organic lotions moisturize tone and protect the skin from sun, aging, wind and pollution. Organic face creams and body lotions serve a protective layer especially in sensitive areas such as the face and neck. Anti-aging antioxidants are naturally introduced. And there is no fear of sensitivity issues since organic ingredients are simple and pure.

Your skin can not differentiate between good and bad chemicals. It indiscriminately absorbs whatever chemicals you slather on your face and body. By choosing eco-friendly, natural organic body care products, you know that your skin is absorbing products rooted in nature and simply prepared by hand, with in the highest quality with the least chemical processes. You can also be assured that no product will introduce a rash, irritation or allergic reaction because its ingredients are pure and natural. And that is best thing we can do for our selves.

Read the first ingredient on the side of the container. By law, the list of ingredients must be listed in their order of concentrate. If you don't recognize the names in the ingredients, do you really want to put it on your face? Your skin can not differentiate between good and bad skin care products, but you can. Choose a holistic approach by utilizing organic body care and all natural skin care products for the purest and simplest choice.
