Natural cosmetics

Natural cosmetics, if they are original and quality, are composed almost entirely of raw materials of plant or mineral, not animal. Natural cosmetics are based mainly on the use of plants, flowers, herbs and extracts. This type of cosmetics has a presentation, a color, texture and smell different to conventional cosmetics. Definitely, these are ideal for health in every sense, but here are some data about them:

• As natural products, their lifetime is lower, since they are not preserved with chemicals.
• They have a texture and color than those produced with chemicals.
• Do not contain chemicals harmful to skin or health of the user.
• They tend to be slightly more expensive due to its quality.
• Many of those engaged in developing natural cosmetics are really worried about product quality and not the presentation, so do not add any chemicals to enhance their appearance.
• To perfuming the product should not be used in any artificial flavors, even those eligible are identical to natural flavors, which come to contain 100% artificial materials.

Beauty products business

It is also important not to get carried away by all that they say in ads, magazines and advertising media. You have to remember that these big companies want to sell, want to cause sensation, and many of them operate on the basis of what is "marketable" and most are not interested in you if are allergic to or not after a while the uses.

The vast majority of its "miracle" that are now very fashionable, is the result of criteria from very small companies, who note that people say "I want a lotion that I remove wrinkles tomorrow" and then invent something convincing to satisfy that desirel.

You must know that a skin without wrinkles and the general condition of the skin is not created from one day to another, and any product that promises you it will be what you might be momentary, but soon there will be sequels. A beautiful and healthy skin is the result, above all, of good food and other habits such as cleaning, for example, and you have to keep in mind that whatever cream you use, your skin is filled mostly with what you eat and more than a nourishing cream and promises to be saying this and that, think first in the diet.
