If you’re not one for chemicals, invest in natural skin care products that are often gentler on the skin. Natural makeup products and natural skincare products are often plant, mineral or animal by-product derived. However, because there is no real governing body strictly managing natural products, the term ‘natural’ can easily be applied to a product. It is wiser to invest in organic products for skin. Organic refers to how an ingredient is farmed, so organic face products must be grown without GMOs, sulphates or parabens. Organic skin care products also typically contain organically grown ingredients and are free from pesticides. Because they have no harsh chemical ingredients, organic face products tend to be gentler on the skin. For someone with sensitive skin, organic skincare is ideal.
