Pure Skincare Products – Is There Really Such a Thing?
In this day and age of natural products, many women (and men) are looking for 100% pure skincare. It’s a great aim, since natural is almost always better. As such, it should go without saying that we all need to take a more holistic skincare approach. But the reality is that there is no such thing as a completely natural skincare product, no matter how slick the product marketing is. Here’s the stark truth: even if you consider yourself a purist, it’s simply not possible for every ingredient in a skincare product to be completely natural…if by natural you mean none of the ingredients have been processed. Even if you are using products derived from plants, some type of natural processing must take place before they can be used in a skincare product you buy. In fact, this will increase their efffectiveness! This is exactly why herbal supplements can be more effective than the plants they come from because it’s often only the extract (the active ingredients) of the plants that are used.
