Organic Anti Aging Skin Care
Effective Products That Make Sense
Everyone is going green these days, so choosing organic anti aging skin care seems the next best thing to do. As we are becoming more aware of our environment and the impact it has on our health we want to avoid anything non-natural that could be harmful to us. And there are good reasons for that.
It is a medically recognised fact that our body absorbs significant amounts of what we put on our skin.
What Is Your Skin Eating?
- The average adult uses 9 personal care products daily exposing them to 126 chemicals every day!
- 89% of 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have NOT been evaluated for safety.
- Over the last 30 years, only 9 of those 10,500 ingredients in personal care products have been banned or restricted.
- One third of all personal care products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens.
Choosing The Best Organic Anti Aging Skin Care Product
The most important factor is to find a certified organic anti aging skin care product. Just because the product is labelled "organic" it may not be all natural organic! The problem is that the in many countries, the government regulations on organic skin care labelling has not yet caught up on the trend. This means, that products that have organic ingredients can still be preserved by chemical preservatives. At the same time, some other products which advertise their products as "natural" may contain some natural ingredients, but their origin is anything but natural. The whole natural/organic skin care labelling is absolutely out of control. No wonder, that so many new products are appearing on our shelves, while there are no regulations, they can cash in on the trend.
So for the moment, to find a true natural organic anti aging skin care products you have to become good in label reading.

Organic Skin Care Products for Anti Aging?
Advertising for natural organic skin care do not sound as glamourous as for other anti aging products. You won't read "anti-wrinkle" or "diminish signs of aging" on most of the packaging.
Are organic products less effective against the signs of aging?
Organic anti aging skin care products help towards improving and maintain healthy skin as well as protecting your skin from environmental damage. To keep your skin youthful this is the most important factor. Yes, organic skin care products can't bleach your skin or burn your skin wrinkle free with acid, in the long run however, the chemicals may damage your skin more than reversing aging. Not to mention the health risks involved with applying chemicals onto your skin day in and day out.
Many of the organic products do contain highly effective natural anti aging ingredients like plant phospholipids and antioxidants that are just as effective than chemical ingredients without causing damage to our health.
Daniela's Tip For Organic Anti Aging Skin Care
As with any other product, an organic skin care product should suit your skin type and treat any skin conditions you may have as well as act anti aging.
Choose an organic skin care range that contains products for different skin types. A "suitable for all skin types" product is usually only suitable for normal skin!
Let's say you have a combination oily/normal skin type, with some fine lines around the eyes, a sagging jawline and pigmentation marks.
It is important to choose the basic products for the skin type, which is in this case combination skin. A balancing cleanser, toner and moisturiser would be most suitable. This will help to balance the oil/water balance in your skin and prevent dehydration lines or an excess of oil which can lead to clogged pores.
Choose a firming eye and neck cream to treat the lines around the eyes and the neck and jawline. Always massage the product in upwards the neck!
Treat the pigmentation marks separately with a specific product like a brightening serum, which get's applied usually straight after cleansing.
