Many females want to know if they should to switch to natural makeup products. There are more than enough companies, advertisements, and "professionals" who could probably give you a very contrasting debate either way. Dr. Roberta Palestine, who did her residency at the Mayo Clinic in dermatology stated, "Organic isn't always better. Synthetic isn't always the worst. Poison Oak is natural, but that definitely does not make it goodPoison Sumac are terrible to put on your face…a chemical is a chemical, what is important is your skin type." There are so many different makeup choices because there are so many skin types, if you spend the time you can get one that fits your face.

Most women use the same makeup everyday when they go into public. This can create parchedand itchy skin that most women aren't aware of. Ladies who apply a base make-up to smooth out the skin tone on their faces will dry out and irritate their skin so each day is a bit worse. People with delicate skin should avoid products with fragrances, mineral oil, formaldehyde, and alcohol. These substances will all dry out the skin and cause aggravation.

Women who are affected from allergens and have been limited on their choices in cosmetics now have more options as more companies come out with products that are gentle on the skin and hypoallergenic. There is no real official definition for the term hypoallergenic, because doctors aren't sure what products actually reduce allergies. So are non-synthetic cosmetics products all that they are built up to be? A quick 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 times, the ingredients will be listed on the packaging the make-up came in.

It is very important to use the new cosmetics and only the new cosmetics when switching to natural makeup. The skin needs a certain period of time before it can transition, and this will only work if it has only applications from the new organic makeup. By doing it this way, the face only has to undergo the adjustment phase one time. If people are thinking about making the adjustment, it is important to consider what's inside a product that says it's all natural. Do a little research before trying out a new make-up line to see if it is a trustworthy manufacturer that uses high quality ingredients and backs the goods they produce. So should consumers make the change? Not everyone needs to change the makeup they use but if you are have any irritated skin its a good thing to consider.
