Many beauty products contain chemicals to treat skin conditions like acne, acne scars, wrinkles, skin discoloration, and flaky skin.  Unfortunately, some of the chemicals contained in skin care products may have negative side effects. Make sure you're choosing the right skin care products.

Natural ingredients are often more likely to have positive benefits, in addition to treating the same skin conditions as other non-natural ingredients.  Some of the benefits of using products with natural ingredients are:

• Fewer side effects
  
• Less skin irritation
  
• Fewer toxic chemicals
  

 

Because of their many benefits, natural ingredients are becoming more and more popular.  First, it helps to know just what those natural ingredients are, and the positive impact they can have when incorporated into your daily skin care regimen.

Vitamin E promotes collagen production, helping to keep the skin firm, and maintain its elasticity.

This oil is used in many moisturizers and anti-aging products.  It combats many signs of aging, including dark circles under the eyes.  It can also help restore collagen and improve your overall skin quality.  It is great for people suffering from acne because it can treat acne without clogging pores.

Tea Tree Oil works great as an acne treatment.  It is gentler on the skin than benzoyl peroxide, and it can also be used to neutralize an infection with acne bacteria.

This is a wonderful natural ingredient in many anti-aging recipes and products. It helps skin retain moisture and also helps to reduce facial lines and stimulate cell growth.

Aloe Vera can reduce stretch marks and also treat red skin and acne. It is a very effective moisturizer as well.

This is a potential antioxidant which can increase collagen production, reverse sun damage, and fight against free radicals.
