Simple Understanding of Organic Skincare


When you go to a health shop or natural food grocers, you will find a wide array of “natural” skin care and body care products. Many manufactures capitalized on the label “natural” why? Simple! Who would want to buy something labeled with “extra carcinogens” or “loaded with parabens”?


Of course no one in their right mind would do such a thing. When the products are certified organic, they have to meet the strict requirements by the certifying body and should be very safe for the consumer. Certified organic skincare products are made from ingredients you can understand and read such as calendula oil and safflower oil not five syllable words that doesn’t mean a thing to you. This ensure that you actually know what you are putting on your skin rather than just hoping it will work because of the hype that the company claims it should.


Before purchasing a “natural” product, be sure to research the company producing it. See if they are certified by USDA, IFDA and other certifying body. Find out if their skin care line is toxic free or just made from fragrance which are usually synthetic. There are wonderful certified organic skin care products available so don’t settle for some supposedly natural junk when you can have the best available for your skin.

Organic Skincare: Price and Compromise

Many of those manufacturers are claiming that they are certified organic. Is this for sure? Knowing exactly what you’re getting is the only way for sure to know if it’s certified organic skincare product. Look at the list of ingredients on the product, your head might be spinning because there are lots of them, which can prove to be a real challenge when sorting all through them.

Taking time to do so ensure that you are getting a “real deal” takes time and some research to boot.

Certified organic skincare products aren’t always cheap. In fact, many people may not even afford them. Natural products are an alternative if it’s not affordable enough for you but yet you still want what’s best for your skin and the environment.
Alternative products which claim to have not been tested to animals or cruelty free can also be your other choice. They could still be better for the environment and of course for your skin in the long term

Organic Skincare: The Benefits For Lifetime


Our choice of beauty products is more than what meets the eye; it’s also about how we respect our environment and our bodies. There is a strong suspicion that chemicals are responsible for making our bodies toxic and are responsible for the current overflow of cancer. Toxins are believed to cause damage. It was also being studied and proven that synthetic chemicals cause disruption of hormone production and function. Therefore, it has paved a way for organic skincare to rise into popularity. Organic skincare are proven safer for children, kinder to the planet, healthier to the body and better for our skin. That’s why organic skincare makes much sense.

Natural skincare products perform as well or better than synthetic skincare products. They are far less likely to irritate skin, and they do no come with harmful side effects and dangerous long-term physical risks.

Organic Face Products

In Architecture, the beauty of a certain structure lies on its facade or its front elevation. It is the component of the structure that is exhibited or on display and the first to be seen by people passing or walking towards it. Similar to human being, beauty is first judged based on the personal physical attractiveness with an emphasis to the facial features. As everybody wants to project a positive impression, we spend time, money and effort in enhancing our appearance to acquire a good public image.

Nowadays, the Skin and Beauty Industry offers a wide variety of skin and face products that we can use to help us achieve this goal. It is up to you to decide which products will be beneficial and perfect for your needs. However, health and safety factors must also be considered prior to making decisions.

DDF Protective Eye Cream SPF 15 Review

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Price:$46.00 DDF Protective Eye Cream .5 oz. (plus shipping)

Most effective for:

  • Puffiness and dark cirlces
  • Sensitive skin
  • Day Cream
  • Light odor
  • Sun protection

Other factors to consider:

  • Not good for those with dry skin
  • Dries up easily
  • Expensive
  • Unclear guarantee

Description:An excellent eye cream for those who have sensitive skin. Its effective ingredients minimize the puffiness and dark circles. It also firms the skin making your eyes younger. There are no evident smells, just a very light odor.

For those who have extra dry skin, this eye cream may prove to be too light and reapplication may be necessary. In this case, it tends to dry up in the middle of the day and lose its effects.

It’s a good day cream, I also like it because of the sun protection, however its quite expensive and the guarantee is quite vague.

Obagi Nu-Derm Eye Cream Review

I totally agree with this review on Obagi Nu-Derm Eye Cream Review. It's one of the best eye creams I've already tried, and if not for my natural instinct to stray and look for something better, I would have stuck with this one.

Most effective for:

* Great for dark circles
* Reduces fine lines
* Plumps up area round the eyes making it look healthier
* Lasts a long time
* Good texture

It really does plump the eyes, not on a puffy kind of way, but rather, in the sense that moisture seeps in your skin, making it look healthier and younger. And yes, 35 dollars a tube from Amazon, it really does last a long time. Not like other eye creams wherein you have to cover your entire finger to fully moisturize your eye area. It really is pretty good. Definitely a recommended buy.

My Youthtopia Skin Firming Cream with Rhodiola and Skin Firming Lotion with Rhodiola Experience


I am a true believer of word of mouth. When someone I know refers an eye cream which she claims to be very effective, with very visible results on my end, I would definitely shell out some dollars to give it a try. This is how my Youthtopia Skin Firming Cream adventure started. It was referred to me by a friend. She said, she and her friend have been using it for 2 months now, and have been very pleased with the results. I saw them first hand and I was really amazed.

When I got home after buying my tub, I was so excited, and put it on before going to sleep, right after my cleansing and toning. I continued doing this for a while, and believe me, trying to stop myself from writing this review right away took a lot of strength. I saw the solid changes after a month of religiously using this eye cream.

I noticed my eye bags disappear, which is one of the things I really look for in an eye cream. I don’t have any eye wrinkles yet, but another problem of mine are also dark circles in the eyes. It’s what I see everyday, and what I majorly cover with concealer. I was ecstatic when I found that they were almost invisible around my eyes!

If there is something I don’t like about this cream, it’s the smell. It’s weird, more like medicine than a beauty product. But performance-wise, really great!
