Why Choose a Natural Face Mask Recipe?

If you are somebody who likes to look after themselves, eat right and exercise, then I am sure you also check the lables on the food that you buy in the supermarkets. You probably also try (as far as possible) to buy organic food stuff as you know that many companies add dangerous pesticides, chemical flavorings and colorants to their foods. But I am not so sure if you read the lables of those pots and tubes of shelf-bought facial masks.

You will be shocked to find that many of your favourite products and even the so-called organic products also contain harmful chemicals that not only damage you skin, but is also bad for you health.

These chemical ingredients like propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, parabens and coloring agents like FD & C Yellow and Blue. These ingredients have been researched and can cause allergic reactions, asthma, headaches, nausea and general fatigue.

So you can see that it is important to be aware of what ingredients are used in commercial skin care masks and to make informed decisions when buying them.

The price is irrelevant

Mostly we choose products based on advertising done by the company selling them, because they smell nice or even just because we can afford them. We don't always know that the products we are buying could be bad for us.

If you really care about your skin and your health you will buy from companies who use organic and biodegradable ingredients in their products. So don't just buy a face mask because the packaging is pretty or because it smells nice, buy something you know will be good for you and good for the environment.

Perhaps these products are a little more costly than others because they have natural ingredients and a shorter shelf life due to the fact that they don't contain all kinds of dangerous conservatives.

It's your health that is important

So yes, you can buy great organic soaps, moisturizers, face masks and scrubs, but it is even better to make your own!
