Botanical skin care can do wonders for your skin, there is an abundance of plants and botanicals that are beneficial and help improve the skin.
But it is mistake to assume that all botanical skin care products are useful.
Some of them can do more harm than good, so before you pick any product ask the following questions.
1.
Is it Completely Natural? Botanical ingredients work best with other natural ingredients, so to get the best results look for a 100% natural product.
That means you should avoid synthetic ingredients, chemical preservatives and fillers like parabens, ureas, dioxanes, mineral oil, sulfates etc.
2.
Are the Ingredients Proven Effective? When the ingredients have gone through clinical tests with volunteers and have gotten great results you can be pretty sure they are effective.
This also shows they are completely safe.
3.
Is There Enough of the Beneficial Ingredients? Some companies want to make us believe they have effective products by putting the names of beneficial ingredients on the product labels but putting too small amounts of them into the actual product.
There should be optimum amounts of each ingredient in the product, no matter the manufacturing costs.
Look for a company you can trust and that states to put the same amounts in their products as there were used in the successful clinical trials.
To find out all of this information about a botanical skin care line I suggest you go to the company's website.
Another thing I always do is check their philosophy to make sure they are serious and sincere, and I also prefer it when they have a 3 month money-back guarantee.
This shows how confident they are about the quality of their products.
