Natural Skincare Products Checklist - Got These 3 Top Ingredients?

These days, you see natural skincare products advertised everywhere. Go to a department store and you'll be amazed at the selection. Watch TV and you'll see a skin cream commercial. Read a magazine and you'll skim over a body lotion ad.

It seems like you're always being warned to take care of your skin. You hear, use our product or wrinkles and lines will crop up. Skin will begin to sag. Companies deliberately use scare tactics on consumers, because they work.
 
If you're desperate to reverse signs of skin aging, you can be easily persuaded to make an impulse purchase. But wait, don't do it!
 
Buying something on impulse, by its very name, means you don't know much about the product. That's okay if you're buying something like shoes. Shoes are shoes. Even if you take them home and find out later that they hurt your feet, you can still return them.
 
But natural skincare products are different. When you rub a skin cream on your skin, it's absorbed through pores into the bloodstream and tissues. What ingredients are you putting into your body? Are any of them harmful? Are they effective? You won't know any of this without having researched the product.
 
Yet it's relatively simple to gauge the effectiveness of natural skincare products.
 
Just focus on the ingredients.
 
Here are three of the best:
 
Wakame Kelp. It contains a range of vitamins and minerals essential to skin health. Research has also shown that this extract helps keep skin protein levels high. The firmness of your skin depends on proteins; they are a major factor in tissue repair.
 
Honey. It shows remarkable anti-bacterial and antioxidant qualities. This means it has the power to help heal infections, cuts, and burns. And it also helps repair free radical damage at the cellular level.  Honey has also been known to fade stretch marks and scars leaving your skin smooth and blemish-free.
 
One type of honey, manuka honey, has been identified has the most effective for skin health.
 
Jojoba Oil. It feels like a liquid wax and it has a two-prong moisturizing affect on skin. First, it penetrates deep into the skin. Then it dries to a clear film and locks in moisture. This also blocks dirt and grime from getting into pores and dulling the glow of your skin.
 
These are just three beneficial ingredients. However, I wouldn't buy any skin cream until I could see the full list of ingredients. Besides the good ones, you should also know which ingredients are harmful. A couple of them you should absolutely not put on your skin.

Love it!

by D. Kerper from CT on 2010-05-23
Effective yet gentle on the skin. Works well alone or as a pre-treatment for micro-dermabrasion treatment. Only stays on skin for two minutes. Skin is left very smooth.


noticeable difference

by Lauren B. Beissinger from Brevard, NC USA on 2007-12-26
I've noticed that the red marks left behind by blemishes are fading more quickly and my skin also breaks out less than before. I highly reccommend this for those of you who have "tried everything" like me.


Papaya concentrate

by Linda J. Halbert from on 2007-07-27
This product is the best healer of any type of skin disorder. This product does more than exfoliant. I have used it for precancerous skin treatments, skin abraisions, and rashes. It is wonderful.

nice, light moisturizer with no parabens

by Broad-Hipped Running Diva from Alexandria, LA on 2010-02-25
I really liked this moisturizer. It keeps my moderately dry skin hydrated without stickiness for a good 18 hours. it is light and non-tacky. The rose scent smells like fresh garden roses, not the fake perfumey stuff passed off as rose scent. The scent does not irritate my allergies, but my secretary tried a dab of it on her hands and it made her itchy. Get a sample size first to see how it works for you--that's my advice on anything these days. Everyone reacts to something.


Nice Moisturizer

by U. S. Noack from Jarrell,Texas on 2009-09-20
Also received this in a generous mini sample . Love the texture and consistency . Did make my skin feel moisturized and supple. On a personal note though , I did give it a 5 BUT for oily skin , I would not recommend this Moisturizer because it is a tad heavier than normal and does take a bit to sink into skin. Could possibly cause breakouts for oily skin ONLY because it is heavier. Value wise , I believe it is a great value . A huge plus : If you are older or going through menopause an need a good Moisturizer that you don't have to worry about , This one is it. It helped my foundation go on so much more smoothly. I am 46 w/ med skin tone and yellow undertone. I have a combination skin .


Best Moisturized Ever

by Lauren N. Summers from Seattle, WA on 2008-07-16
As someone with rather temperamental skin who does not want to expose herself to the many carcinogenic elements frequently used in U.S. cosmetics (a word to the wise: read your labels and find out what they mean-the F.D.A doesn't regulate half of the things that are illegal in Canada and Europe), I was delighted to discover in Korres a moisturizer that 1)actually works 2)isn't greasy and therefore doesn't clog up my pores 3)doesn't contain extra alcohol-based scents (which will dry out your skin, not hydrate it), and 4) does not include silicon, petroleum derivatives, parabens, or much else. I LOVE putting this on my face, and I would recommend it to just about anyone.


Lovely

by Cavatina from New England on 2008-03-18
I purchased this product after having a facial. It was used during the facial and recommended. Lovely light fragrance, smooth as silk going on. My skin feels wonderful. Great moisturizer at that doesn't break the bank. It lasts 24 hours, and after washing it off, I felt like a layer of protection was being washed off. Very nice.


Best Moisturizer Ever

by Valery from WA, USA on 2006-01-13
The smell is heavenly, the texture light and non-greasy and it has protection against sun damage. It's got no mineral oil or silicone and won't bother sensitive skin. Makes you glow and you'll feel like a greek goddess - wonderful stuff.

Best Face Cream Ever!

by A. Johnson from on 2007-08-13
I've been using this product for 4+ years now. I had heard of the brand when it was mentioned in a magazine interview as one of Alicia Silverstone's favorite products. While shopping at Whole Foods, I stumbled upon a few free samples and took them home to try. I was hooked. The consistency is perfect. You can use it in your eye area and it doesn't sting or irritate. It provides the perfect amount of daily moisture under makeup or alone and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soft. It's also my secret age-defying weapon.


Wonderful Natural Skin Care

Makes my face feel good when I put this natural skincare cream on. I Love this stuff! :o)

Description

Naturella is a precise combination of all natural oils and botanicals in an Aloe Vera base. In combination with Emu, Avocado and other oils, Naturella creates a rich, emollient, natural skin treatment that "melts" into your skin and face, providing a vast array of vitamins and minerals and tapping into the nourishment that only nature can provide.Naturella's daily skin/face toner and moisturizer combo is perfect for dry, combination, aging, damaged, wrinkled and normal skin. It is a complete toner and moisturizer combined in one product. The toner dilutes the richness of the natural oils to a consistency more suitable as a facial moisturizer. Instead of using water, alcohol or some other filler to dilute the oils, we've used a natural toner. Because we have done this, you (the consumer) get more value for your money - you will not need a separate toner and your face and skin will feel wonderful because the product is not diluted with water, alcohol or some other filler. It also allows you to use far less than with other skin and face creams because you are not putting a filler on your face.You will only need a very small amount to achieve radiant healthy looking skin. Product size:  50 ml.

Features

  • All natural* skin care product.
  • Naturella is a complete facial moisturizer and toner combined.  After cleansing you will not need additional products.
  • Naturella is for any skin type - particularly dry, aging, damaged, wrinkled, combination & normal skin.
  • The natural facial toner also regulates the richness of the moisturizing oils, eliminating the need for fillers.  Other products add water to do this.  You will not be paying for a product that has been diluted with water.
  • Product size: 50 mL - 1.69 oz - *exclusive of fragrance and a very mild preservative for your safety, not to exceed 2%.

very satisfied!

by K. Dyer from tacoma, wa usa on 2010-07-03
I have only used this product for a week....but I love how it makes my skin feel and look. Sooooo soft! I have been using it on the top of my hands as well, and can see that they are softer, and LOOK smoother! It is also nice to know that this is a nature product...we put enough junk into our bodies...why not do without the junk ON our bodies! Would highly recommend this product!


Wonderful Product

by Kara from Washington on 2010-06-25
I have been using Naturella for awhile now and I could not live without it! I have oily skin and it seems to soak right into my skin and make it look smooth and radient. I have noticed my skin to be more clear as well. If I do break out, I put Naturella on it and it heals the break out very quickly. I also love that this product is all natural. It makes me feel good knowing I am not putting any cemicals into my skin.


You have to try this moisturizer/toner!

by S. Hancock from St. Louis, MO USA on 2010-06-24
Naturella is an amazing product. I've been using it daily on my face and neck for several years now. My skin is naturally oily, and most moisturizers cause breakouts. Naturella is light, absorbs quickly, and its toner component firms my eyelids and undereye area. I never break out anymore. In fact, my skin is better than ever. I'm in my fifties, and have very few wrinkles. It's great!I have a friend who suffered from rosacea for years. After using Naturella, her red scaly patches completely cleared up. I highly recommend Naturella for all skin types.


Great Product

by T. Smith from Pennsylvania on 2010-06-23
I have used this product for a few years and really like it. Only a small amount is required to cover the entire face and neck. It keeps my skin from drying out and make-up goes on smooth and easy. Several years ago I developed a redness on my neck from a medication I was taking. The color did not get better even after I discontinued use of the medication. Since using Naturella my skin tone is much better. I highly recommend this product.


Best moisturizer I've used!

by A. Madsen from NY, USA on 2010-06-15
I have used this product for a couple of years now, every night and morning. Before I used it my skin tended to be dry, especially in winter,and once in a while I would break out. Now my skin feel perfectly hydrated all the time, as long as I am using it daily, and i never have breakouts! in fact, if I feel one coming on, I'll make sure I use my moisturizer, and it will go away before it gets any worse. Incredible. Also, knowing that it is made of all natural ingredients makes me feel good about using it, which makes me continue to use it. I am nervous about putting chemicals on my face on a daily basis, but other natural products I've tried are either too greasy feeling, or do not moisturize properly. When I put this on in the morning my face feels like it is getting a drink of water. It also has a very light scent which I like. I love Naturella and would honestly recommend it to anyone.

By Far the Best Cleanser for My Oily, Sensitive Skin

by Dominica from Midwest, USA on 2009-11-11
My skin is oily all over and very sensitive. It breaks out badly when I use most cleansers, so it's very hard for me to find one that my skin likes. After trying *49* (so not kidding) other cleansers when L'Oreal stopped making the one that I was using, I finally found this one. I cringed using the other cleansers on my face because they irritated it so much. My skin went "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" with relief when I tried this. I love it!I looked up the ingredients and found out that the cleansing ingredient in it is for very sensitive skin, so I'm assuming that's why it doesn't bother me (it turns out that it's the same one as in the L'Oreal cleanser that I was using). And I love the fact that it doesn't foam since foam/lather irritates my skin. The aloe vera and seaweed make my skin feel soft. What a waste of money trying all those other cleansers. I wish I'd know about this one at the start. Better late than never, I guess.


Zia Cleansing Gel

by Donna C from NY on 2008-08-11
Skin type = Rosacea. Have been using it for years, and it's the only cleanser that has not irritated my skin.


Like it better than the old version

by Amy Gfesser from Chicago, IL on 2008-05-19
I do not have sensitive skin, so this cleanser works well for me. I had very oily skin/acne as a teenager and into my twenties. I am currently 41 and have normal skin that can tend to be a bit oily; the Zia products for "normal" skin work well for me. This cleanser feels better on my face than the older version felt (i.e. smoother and silkier). I highly recommend this product!


Disappointing change in a great product

by J. Buehrer from Michigan, USA on 2007-11-17
Zia has long been a high-end line of natural products, and I have become a devotee in the past few years. I looked long and hard for a good paraben-free cleanser before I found the Zia Basics fresh cleansing gel with sea algae, and I absolutely loved it. Earlier this year, Zia changed their product line to remove parabens from all the products and base them all on aloe. I bought the new version and was disappointed to find several new chemical ingredients. When I used it on my face, it burned my skin. I have taken it back, and stocked up on the old formula through online suppliers. I hope Zia comes back around - but until then, I don't recommend this product, particularly if your skin is at all sensitive, or you like to avoid alcohols in your facial products like I do.

NATURAL LUXURY

by meli87 from on 2010-07-25
I happened to find the starter kit for oily skin on clearance at my local health store for $7.99! I had never heard of it but I was breaking out and it sounded really good. I am SO glad I tried it. It was like an at-home spa treatment.Everything is super gentle, I apply the toner with a cotton ball.The mask is AMAZING I didnt think it was super exfoliating yet it smells so soothing and makes my skin look brighter.I got spoiled with the clearance price yet as soon as I run out (I stocked up) I will buy it from Amazon as its the cheapest I have seen.I reccomend this to people with oily skin/ acne prone skin, it really soothes and I see my break outs calming down and going away : )


a great buy!

by TNH from Rancho Cucamonga, CA United States on 2005-05-05
The sample sizes in this kit have lasted me over 3 weeks. Not only that, they work! I've noticed a big difference in oil/breakouts in that short time.The cleanser is very gentle, yet very effective.The toner smells wonderful and feels very light on the skin.The herbal moisture gel is interesting- it definitely is a GEL, and as you're putting it on it feels heavy and sticky. BUT...within just a few minutes it dries, leaving your face feeling completely hydrated, but not a bit greasy or sticky. It's amazing!The masks are also very effective and can also be used as spot treatment.Just a side note, Amazon sells this kit cheaper than anyone else I've found. It's a steal, and well worth the money. :)
