Cosmetics are an important part of the daily toiletry for most women. Taking care of the skin, face and body care is the key to looking healthy and feeling good. However, skin care cosmetics usually have long, complicated and incomprehensible compositions, it seems that for each part of the face and each part of the body we need a different gel, a different serum and a different cream. As a result, it turns out that our bathroom cabinets and shelves are filled with dozens of bottles that we do not use anyway. Natural cosmetics are much easier to use and their action is definitely more effective. Find out 5 reasons why you should switch to natural cosmetics.
A huge advantage of natural cosmetics is their price. All the ingredients you need to create a skin care routine for your skin are individual oils, butters, hydrolats and extracts. The prices of products to effectively take care of your face and body are much cheaper than the ready-made blends you can buy in stores. Oils and hydrolats, for example, are available in 100 ml bottles, which may seem more expensive than ready-made oil-based creams. However, you have to take into account that there are plenty of other ingredients in creams that dilute and take away from the effectiveness of the active ingredients. In 30 ml cream, for which we will pay 50 zlotys, there will be only a few milliliters of oil, which is actually supposed to work on the skin. On the other hand, for the same or slightly higher price we can buy a pure oil or hydrolate, which will actively work on our skin
