Is natural skin care better for your sensitive skin?

In the past few years, many women are opting for natural anti aging skin care, choosing products from companies like Jurlique, which focus on ingredients from herbs and flowers to create their skin care products.

Some women with sensitive skin, are also wary of choosing completely synthetic skin care products.

However Skin Sense: June 2008 (washingtonpost.com) reports:

“Some of the most effective anti-aging ingredients, such as retinoids, are synthetic compounds. Using a natural or organic skin care product does not prevent adverse reactions to topical preparations. Many fragrance ingredients are natural products and can be derived from organic sources, but they can still cause allergic reactions in susceptible people. That said, there are still reasons to choose natural or organic products.”

So what’s best? Natural or synthetic?

Ultimately, you choose. There’s no guarantee that you won’t have a reaction to natural products if your skin is sensitive, unfortunately. When you’re trying a new product, test it first, on the skin of your inner elbow, and wait for 24 hours to see whether you have a reaction.
