Many people want to know if they need to change to natural makeup products. There are plenty of companies, advertisers, and "professionals" who can give you a very assuring debate either way. Dr. Roberta Palestine, who did her schooling at the Mayo Clinic in dermatology stated, "Organic isn't always better. Manufactured isn't always worse. Poison Sumac is organic, but that definitely does not make it goodPoison Oak are terrible to put on your face…a chemical is a chemical, what is important is your skin type." There are so many different cosmetic choices because there are so many different skin types, if you take the time you will find one that fits you.

When switching skin care products often times the skin will have to go through an adjustment period. So women who are thinking about switching to organic make-up should go with it fully. By doing this, the skin only has to go through the adjustment period one time. If people are thinking about making the switch, it is important to pay attention to what's inside a product that says it's all natural. Do some research before testing out a new cosmetic line to see if it is a trustworthy manufacturer that uses superior ingredients and stands behind the products they manufacture. So should people make the change? It's a matter of personal choice but if you think the products you currently use are affecting your skin, at least consider it. Because of the advancements in cosmetics, women that are allergic now have an option of buying hypoallergenic cosmetics that are easy on the face. There is no real medical definition for the word hypoallergenic, because doctors don't know what products can reduce allergens. So are natural cosmetics products all that they are built up to be? A brief look at the ingredients list will tell the consumer what the main ingredients are on a product because they are listed in order of volume ratio. Often, the ingredients will be listed on the packaging the make-up came in.

Often women will be sensitive to a beauty product and not even realize it. Over the years, women get used to parched, itchy skin that comes from daily use of the types of make-up they wear outside and to work. A persons skin can become very dry from the overuse of a base makeup used to make the face appear even. Women with sensitive skin should avoid products with perfumes, mineral oil, formaldehyde, and alcohol. These chemicals will all dry out the skin and cause irritation.
