Everyone says that when you turn 20, you need to start anti-aging products on your skin. What they don't tell you is that all the chemicals in those products aren't really beneficial for you. Natural skin care products have had a bad reputation for being expensive. The benefits that come with natural skin care are worth so much more. Everyone is so concerned with eating healthy and working out but no one is worrying about the harmful products that we use on our skin each and every day. What's even scarier is that no one knows how bad they actually are.

The generic products that you use might actually be causing your sensitivity.

The ingredient list on many generic moisturizers is very, very long. These ingredients that cannot even be pronounced are chemicals and detergents. These ingredients are not there to benefit your skin and slow down the aging process, they are literally there to extend shelf life. We are so concerned with chemicals and preservatives in our foods and drinks, but why not for our skin care as well?

Natural skin care products are expensive for a reason.

Natural skin care products are a bit pricey. But, they are pricey because they require a lot less product to get the job done. Not only are they filled with skin-happy ingredients but they are also much better for the skin. Generic products require a lot more to get any kind of moisturizing effect, but with the natural skin care products, a little bit goes a very long way.

They are easier to find than you think.

Many natural skin care products are available right in the drugstore, making your shopping trip that much easier. Some of the well-known natural brands include Burt's Bees, Thayer's, Yes To, Desert Essence, Avalon Organics, Every Man Jack and many more. Or perhaps if you enjoy the higher end items, Sephora and most department stores carry brands such as Ole Henrikson, Caudalie, Nude, Josie Maran, Farmacy, Boscia, Coola, Origins and many more.

Beauty from the inside out.

Not only is it important to be using products that aren't harsh on the skin, but it is also important to take care of our bodies from the inside. Drinking lots of water every day and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables will give your skin the glow it deserves. Ditching all foods that contain preservatives and chemicals will also benefit your skin. To make sure you get your daily water intake, try adding some fruits like lemon, strawberry, or peach to your water to add delicious, natural flavoring. Add a handful of spinach into your smoothie at breakfast.

Your skin will thank you.
