April 16th, 2007 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.According to the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, 36% of adults in the U.S. use complimentary or alternative medicine and 19% use natural products.
The use of natural products is on the rise as more and more people become environment and health conscious and these products include skin care and anti-aging.
How effective are natural skin care products? Very effective if used long term. My experience with alternative skin care has been positive, but like other skin cleansers, my skin had to adapt first, about 3 weeks to one month. I started using a cleansing bar made with olive leaf extract after the cleanser and toner I previously used started drying my skin out and gave me blemishes. The cleanser made my skin break out and the toner made my skin very dry, which in turn led me to use a moisturizer that also made my skin break out. Definitely a no win situation.
Natural skin care products and products made from all natural ingredients such as olive leaf extract have been known to be effective if used over a period of time to prevent acne and other skin problems. Alcohol based and benzoyl peroxide products will produce faster results, but they also dry out the skin, and in some cases leave it red and blotchy and promote sun damage and premature aging. I know because I went down this road.
There are many companies now that make products with natural ingredients, but few use 100% natural ingredients. It’s a good idea to always check the label for ingredients and avoid eastparkresearch.com” target=”_blank benzoyl peroxide based products. It also is not necessary to use harsh facial scrubs on your face frequently as they too irritate and dry out the skin. Not much different than using sandpaper. Instead find a good gentle and natural daily cleansing system. See a dermatologist or skin care specialist for advice if necessary. Also eat lots of veggies and fruits with antioxidants and drink lots of h2o.
To healthy skin…
