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

With some lovely ingredients such as organic Lavender, White Tea, Licorice root, Tumeric and Calendula to name just a few, this moisturiser is lovely and rich and while it nourishes your skin it also helps calm and soothe it, reducing redness and also giving anti-oxidant protection. Because of it’s unique blend of ingredients it is suitable for all skin types, even very sensitive.

MSM Organic Beauty Cream by Raw Gaia

Raw Gaia have an amazing range of products, and it is quite difficult to pick out one as a favourite, however this cream works wonders, and should find it’s way into every skin care regime. 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.

JASON Aloe Vera 84% Ultra-Comforting Moisturizing Crème

This is a lovely daily moisturiser, and with 84% pure Aloe Vera Gel it really packs a moisturising punch for your skin. Aloe Vera is renowned for it’s soothing and healing properties and it is combined with Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin A, E & C to produce a light but effective moisturiser, making it suitable for combination skin, along with being ideal for sensitive skin.

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.
