Should You Make The Switch to Natural Make-Up?

By Bobby Lee


Should you make the switch to all-natural make-up? There are many companies, advertisements, and "experts" that could most likely provide you with a really convincing argument either way. Dr. Roberta Palestine, who did her residency at the Mayo Clinic in dermatology stated, "Natural isn't always better. Synthetic is not always worse. Poison Ivy is natural, but that certainly does not make it good...a chemical is a chemical, what matters is your skin type." You will find definitely lots of skin types out there, and you can bet for every type there's numerous make-up products for that certain kind.

Women who are afflicted by allergies and have been limited on their choices in make-up now have more options as more companies come out with products that are gentle on the skin and hypoallergenic. It should be noted that "hypoallergenic" has no medical definition, because it is yet to be determined what ingredients reduce allergens. So are natural make-up products all that they're cracked-up to be? A quick look at the ingredients list will tell the consumer what the main ingredients are on a product because they're listed in order of volume ratio. Quite often, the ingredients will be listed on the packaging the make-up came in.

Frequently women will be allergic to a product and not even realize it. Through the years, women get accustomed to dry, irritated skin that hails from repeated use of the types of make-up they wear out in public and to work. Women who wear a foundation make-up to even out the skin tone on their faces will dry out and aggravate their skin so each day is a little worse. Women with sensitive skin ought to avoid products with fragrances, mineral oil, formaldehyde, and alcohol. These chemicals will all dry out the skin and cause irritation.

When switching make-ups often times the skin will need to go through an adjustment period. So women who're thinking about switching to natural cosmetics ought to go with it 100%. By doing this, the skin just has to go through the adjustment phase one time. If you're considering making the switch, it is important to consider the ingredients in a product that claims to be all natural. Do some research prior to trying out a new make-up line to determine if it is a reputable company that uses quality ingredients and stands behind the products they produce. So should you make the switch? It's a matter of personal choice but if you think the products you presently use are affecting your skin, at the least think about it.
