Organic skincare products versus regular skincare products

One of you wrote….

 

“I am drawn to organic products whose ingredient list I can read and understand – such as those that use natural oils. I’m often distrustful of ingredient lists that read like an alien language. I worry that perhaps the isolated chemicals in some products will be found to have considerable health impacts down the track. Is this fear misplaced or naive? Like most consumers I simply want the safest, most effective and value-for-money product on the market. I often wonder if organic products hide ineffectiveness behind labels of ‘pure’ and ‘natural’. Have you found this to be the case? Thank you for your website – it really is an incredible information resource! Kind regards, Elle Australia.”

 

Well said, Elle!  This area is evolving and many of the natural/organic products are sadly not very effective.  I would say most of us want more organic, a decent price, and effectiveness ………..and we’re just not there quite yet.  I do like and use the Eminence line of organic products, and I am currently researching some other lines.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
