Organic Skin Care Cream

  • Posted on May 20, 2010 at 2:05 pm

Organic products have become increasingly popular, with more and more people realising the benefits of using pure, natural ingredients in their skin care regime. Organic skin care ranges have grown more and more extensive, with some fantastic products now available, including some truly delicious organic skin care cream.

We all realise the importance of choosing organic food where we can, as reducing the amount of chemicals and pesticides we put into our bodies can only help to keep us healthier in the long run, and while many people pay very close attention to what they put in their bodies, they don’t pay as much attention to what they are putting on the bodies. Our skin is absorbent, and therefore whatever we rub into it is absorbed into the skin and into our bodies, which is why it makes so much more sense to use high quality, organic face creams where you can. While it used to be the case that organic toiletries were incredibly expensive, as their popularity has increased, more and more companies have realised how important it is to offer excellent products at affordable prices. It is not just skin care products that can be found in these ranges either, there are some fantastic shampoos, conditioners, deodorants and much, much more to be found.

A few great organic skin care creams to be found at the moment are:

Avalon Organics Lavender Daily Moisturiser

MSM is short for Methyl-sulphonyl-methane, which is a form of sulphur, an essential component in the formation of collagen, elastin, cartilage and keratin.

MSM is such a powerful ingredient, studies have shown that it can help with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne and dermatitis. It is incredibly important to make sure the MSM you are using is pure, and with Raw Gaia this is guaranteed.

If you are conscientious about what you eat and drink, and like to choose organic wherever you can, then it makes perfect sense to ensure that your skin care cream is organic as well.

Natural skin care creams

While there is an amazing range of face creams and serums available these days, a lot of people are becoming increasingly aware of the amount of chemicals that are contained in these creams.  These chemicals are vital to the results that these creams promise to deliver, and a lot of them are just synthetic versions of anti-oxidants and vitamins that can be found in many natural products such as fruit and vegetables.

If you are just looking for a simple moisturiser then it is worth looking for something that is either very low or completely free of chemicals. Using blended oils can be wonderful for your skin, for instance sweet almond oil with tea tree oil for skin prone to spots. You could also use a specialist oil such as Bio-Oil which is designed to hydrate and nourish skin while improving the appearance of blemishes, mixing this with a little tea tree oil for problem skin or a little lavender oil for sensitive skin will give you a lovely natural moisturiser. It is important not to use neat aromatherapy oils on your skin as they can be too harsh, so always blend them with a carrier oil, even olive oil can be used.

It is also worth considering making your own face scrubs and masks, these can easily be rustled up using some basic ingredients from your kitchen such as honey & milk for a moisturising mask, or mixing some ground almonds with a little milk and honey for a gentle face scrub. The possibilities are endless, and using such natural products gives your skin a break from artificial cleansers and moisturisers. It is also a really good way to save some money!

Many companies are cottoning on to the fact that people are shying away from chemically loaded products and more and more products are appearing on the shelves that are advertising the fact they are free from things such as parabens, and use organic ingredients as far as is possible. It is always worth looking at baby care ranges for products that contain minimal amounts of chemicals as they are designed for much more sensitive skin, there are some wonderful creams that are made things such as olive oil, lavender oil and chamomile, designed for soothing babies bottoms that also work wonders on faces!
