How Effective Is My Branded Facial Cream?

Right from the whole foods to organic food, each one of us is very particular about what we consume in our daily life. While shopping either from a normal grocery store or from Big Bazaar, it is true that we ladies, before filling the shopping cart with the individual item, make sure that the ingredients in it are quite healthy and compatible with our health. Isn’t It? This is just because we want our family to be in a good hand.

But, how many of us agree with the fact that when it comes for using creams, lotions, or any facial products, we rely on the brands. The costlier the brand is, our level of preference increases. Whatever, we are being shown through the ad becomes a matter of acceptance. In this blog, I would like to ask all of you that how many of you are there who before purchasing your cosmetics flip the back of the product and take a look of the ingredients present in it?

Since our skin is one of the largest organs in the body, so, it becomes quite quintessential to give major focus on it. I really prefer to use DIY home remedies for skin rather than sticking on branded products.

What does natural beauty mean?

Technically, natural beauty is nothing. Neither it has a proper meaning in terms of FDA. But, it elaborates that the beauty that is generated from the inside. However, the cosmetics market is crowded with unlimited products claiming to make you fair, spotless, glowing, and lots more. But, do they claim that all those products can help you retain your youth for a long time. Obviously not. Using those products can have a direct or indirect impact on your skin.

Here comes the role of a natural DIY product. DIY itself means Do-It-Yourself. And ingredients for all these products will either be available on your kitchen shelf or in your garden.

Harmful substances in skincare products

There are several harmful elements available in your skincare products. These include parabens, toxic pesticides, preservatives, etc. However, with so many products available in the market, it would be quite confusing for the buyers that what is or not harmful.

However, there are also certain organic skin care products available in the market that promises for effective skincare regimen. But, no guarantee for whether those products will cause allergies or not. On the other hand, these organic products are way too costly that it becomes out of reach for a common man.

So, if, you can’t afford to buy those products, try making those by your own
