As the number of people who are concerned about the health and beauty of their skin grow, so does the environmental toxins that are enemies of the skin. The pollution that we are experiencing has never been this bad. Reason enough for cosmetic companies to join the fray and introduce beauty products that claim to be organic and therefore kinder than previous formulations. They come out with various cosmetic products such as skin and hair products, as well as oral and body care products. These cosmetic products are supposed to be non-toxic, safe and chemical-free.

The skin, especially facial skin is the part of our body that needs the most attention. Because toxins are eliminated from the body through the pores of the skin in the form of perspiration, we are constantly washing our face and body. Washing is good because it cools down the body but the process washes away oils that would otherwise protect the skin from drying out. Regular moisturizers are applied to keep the skin hydrated, while facial moisturizer specifically keeps the facial skin soft and supple.
