In order to compare the all natural skin care products on the market, you have several things to consider. The first thing to consider is what the product is designed to do. What is its purpose?

There are two basic products that everyone needs; cleansers and moisturizers. The purpose of those two products is clear. Cleansers clean. Moisturizers moisturize.

It seems that some companies have tried to complicate the issue a bit. In addition to basic daily cleansers, they have makeup remover, daily scrubs, weekly exfoliants, deep cleansing masks, astringents, toners and other fancy items. Do we really need all of those different products to keep our faces clean?

A basic daily cleanser is necessary. But, dermatologists have said that they see lots of problems caused by over-cleansing. Removing makeup is necessary. But, if you choose the right makeup, you don’t need a separate product for that purpose.

Waterproof mascara is one of the most difficult items to remove. You might not like the idea of having your mascara run, but the cleansers necessary to remove it are very harsh. Neither waterproof mascara nor the cleanser necessary to remove it is part of an all natural skin care routine.

Many women are foregoing mascara all together. For years, they have wondered why men’s eyelashes seem so much longer than their own. The reason is simple. Mascara is not good for your eyelashes. It causes them to break and pulls them out. Go without mascara for a little while and watch the condition of your eyelashes improve.

As far as cleansing goes, there are only two things that you really need; a gentle daily cleanser and a deep cleansing mask. The daily cleanser should be free of sodium laurel sulfate. Plain tea tree oil is a good all natural skin care cleanser. It has mild antibacterial, anti-fungal and antioxidant activity.

Every two weeks, you should use a deep cleansing mask to remove toxins and keep your pores clean. This will help prevent blemishes and heal existing ones. Ingredients to look for include clay extracts called kaolin and bentone gel.

When it comes to moisturizers, you may wonder why you need one cream for your face and another for your body. If you are buying products from the better manufacturers, the difference has to do with the amount of time that your face is exposed to sunlight.

All natural skin care creams designed for daily use should not contain sunscreens. Read some of the latest reports about sunscreens and you will understand why.

But, facial creams should contain ingredients that help to prevent and reverse “photo-aging”. In simple terms, that is the outward signs of aging caused by exposure to sunlight.

Body lotions should contain ingredients that prevent photo-aging, too. But, if you’re like most people, the majority of your body is protected from the sun by clothing, except for the occasional day at the beach. So, a lower concentration of anti-aging ingredients is acceptable.

There are more things to consider before you buy all natural skin care products. But, that’s all we have time for in this article.
