It’s not just a trend anymore or a wave of hype, more and more people know the importance to choose natural products.

It is a matter of health or dis-eases….

Facts: your skin is the largest organ in your body. about 66% of what you put on it dissolves into your blood stream.

You want to be healthy, and you want your skin to look its very best. So you pamper your skin with this product and that product, and pay close attention to what you eat. When you choose foods, you more than likely pay attention to the nutrition facts and ingredient lists, but are you as scrupulous with your skin care selections?

Beauty aisles are littered with products and marketing claims promising that their formulas will improve skin appearance and texture, and promising you 20 years younger, without any word about what they do not want you to know!

Like fad diets that give temporary results, oftentimes products made with artificial or chemical ingredients offer the same thing – a temporary mask without improving skin from deep within. And the chemicals that dissolve into the body slowly harming your health.

Think about a transdermal patch – a small patch that is applied directly to the skin to deliver a dose of medication to the bloodstream. Your skin allows the medication on these patches to enter your skin and alter your body’s functions. This is all topical.  There is no special delivery system in these patches…except for your skin of course. The ingredients in your skin care products are no different. When you massage lotion on your skin, where does it disappear? The ingredients are absorbed by the skin and into the bloodstream.

Choosing natural skin care products takes an extra step. which may feel hard but it’s actually easy, it’s simply a choice….and you will be surprised how much money and time you save with that decision! And it is worth it. Your health is worth it. Here are some reasons why it is worth to choose natura products:

1. Because your health is the most important and you want to put only the healthiest, safest ingredients on your face and body.

Skin care products can play host to a number of chemical ingredients that are skin and health irritants – including parabens, carcinogens, and allergens. An eye-opening fact: there are currently 12,500 ingredients used in skincare products, but the United States has tested only 11% and banned only 8. The European Union, however, has banned 1,100 ingredients, labeling them as hazardous chemicals. Choosing products made with non-toxic and organic ingredients helps to keep your skin and body performing at their very best.

2. You will notice a difference in the tone and texture of your skin

Already icons from centuries ago –like Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Guinevere – who relied on plant-based ingredients for their beauty. We’re finding that there is plenty of truth in legend. Taking our beauty practices back to basics – or back to nature – has proven that our skin craves the gentle and nourishing benefits of organic, plant-based ingredients. While you may be skeptical now, making the switch will have a big impact on your skin’s appearance and health.

3. You are preserving the planet’s health and making it a bit more beautiful, too.

Natural and organic product potentially removes a chemically laden product from being used. This means that toxic ingredients washed down the drain are not disrupting our delicate eco-systems There is progress being made with some states banning ingredients, like plastic, exfoliating micro-beads and Triclosan, but until it becomes more wide spread it is up to you to do your research. Be sure to look for companies who source their ingredients from renewable resources that are sourced ethically and responsibly. This helps to keep our planet’s resources balanced and healthy.

4. Organic and natural products work. 

Over the years more and more people have found sources for beneficial organic and plant-based ingredients that contribute to the beauty results and the success in making healthy products that work. In fact, I hear every day from customers (and my own experience) who are amazed at the effectiveness of the natural products of Pure. It is why I do what I do each and every day keep creating and treating at Pure Natural Salon with the beauty of natural ingredients so you can have a happy skin and happy you!

Your Health is Worth It.  We all have a health journey. and one of the most important pillars of a healthy cell (and body) is to eliminate toxins. Conscious skin care choices, made in tandem with a healthy lifestyle and diet, can even be preventative solutions for some health issues. The symbiotic relationship we have found between feeding your skin and feeding your body is important to understand when taking inventory of your health and well being.

No matter what type of skin you have – oily, dry, or combination – thoughtful product selection can have a dynamic impact on your overall health. Yes, not just your skin health, but overall health.

Make a conscious effort to swap your products out for natural, plant-based alternatives and watch the change yourself!

Not only with products but don’t forget as well your beauty treatments! they should be based on natural and healthy ingredients as well!
