10 Reasons to Switch to a Natural Skincare Regime
Everything that we need for our physical, mental and spiritual nourishment and rejuvenation is well provided for by nature. Since time immemorial, we Indians have turned to nature for most of our health concerns. The same is true for anything that we use topically for the health of our skin or body.
A glowing skin indicates not just our physical beauty but our internal health as well. Therefore, keeping our skin healthy and radiant is very important.
An average person applies up to 10 different beauty products to their skin every day. In doing so, we unknowingly expose our skin to harmful chemicals, which eventually make their way into our bloodstream. Most beauty products that we know of today and those that are ‘best sellers’ in the cosmetics market have chemicals that can cause many health concerns with just external applications.
Natural skincare is not just an option anymore--it has become a necessity. Here’s why it is advisable to switch to natural skincare products:
1. Safer for the skin
As opposed to synthetic skincare products, natural skincare products are much safer. This is because they do not contain any added chemicals, emulsifiers, or preservatives. Many of these chemical ingredients actually do more harm than good. They bleach your skin so it might look brighter for a couple of days, but in the long run, they can cause skin irritation, hypersensitivity, and clogged pores. When we apply any moisturizer or lotion, its ingredients get soaked up by our skin, seeping slowly into the body and affecting many of the body’s processes directly or indirectly. While any natural ingredient will be beneficial, chemical ones tend to adversely affect the body. Therefore, it is advisable to stick to skincare products which are natural ingredients-based as far as possible. This will result in healthier-looking and well- nourished skin.
2. Provides nourishment
The most appropriate way to highlight the difference between synthetic and natural skin care products is to take a look at their core ingredients. When you read the labels on a synthetic product, you’ll see words such as Glyceryl Stearate, Phthalates, Lead acetate, etc. These ingredients are made in laboratories and are, mostly, detrimental to the body. Natural skincare products, on the other hand, will usually have familiar and natural ingredients (stuff that you may often find in your kitchen) such as argan oil, coconut oil, lemon juice, turmeric, etc. All these ingredients have been known to be beneficial for our bodies for ages. Most of them are consumed internally to take care of our overall health. Such ingredients, when used in skincare products, heal the skin and protect it from day-to-day damage.

3. Trust and Reliability
At present, there is a great deal of controversy surrounding the formulation of synthetic skincare products. Many instances have been observed where the manufacturers provide little to no justification for the components of their skincare products. Some even go as far as manufacturing products without legitimate Research and Development. Far from being unreliable, natural skincare has rather been acknowledged multiple times as effective and versatile. We at Parama Naturals, a 100% natural skincare and wellness brand, disclose all the ingredients used in our products and their benefits. This type of disclosure assures consumers of product quality and builds trust. Moreover, our products are based on the research and wisdom of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of wellness, in the modern context.
4. No allergic reactions
Natural skincare products generally don’t cause any allergies on the skin as they are made up of natural ingredients. Natural ingredients have been in use since ancient times and have proven effective in the treatment of all kinds of ailments generation after generation. Synthetic products act differently on every skin. They might even cause allergic reactions on the skin leading to irreversible damage.
5. Tried and tested remedies
As mentioned before, the ingredients in most natural products have been inspired by and derived from Ayurveda, India’s oldest traditional health system. They thrive till date and are highly preferred by many across the world.
6. Multi-purpose Use
Natural skincare products are universally gentle and often, a single product can be used on multiple parts of the body. This is a great indicator of safety. It is thus suitable for the entire family, all ages and skin types, especially for people with hypersensitive skin.
7. Budget-friendly
Who wouldn’t like to get healthy skin without spending a bomb? Natural skincare products are not only good for our skin but pocket-friendly too. They are cost-efficient alternatives to their non-natural counterparts as they provide quick absorption and better coverage so you can use the product for a longer period of time. A little goes a long waY.
8. Environment-friendly
Natural skincare products contain organic ingredients that are gifts of nature itself. Those containing chemicals, especially those using sprays and aerosols that release particles into the atmosphere, can negatively affect the environment. These chemicals also pollute our land and water bodies during the manufacturing process or when you dispose of the bottles and tubes with residual contents. Using natural skincare and wellness products not only benefits your skin but also ensures you enjoy them guilt-free, without harming the environment.
9. Doesn’t harm animals
Many product manufacturers test their products on animals before they can be tested on humans. Yes, even those related to the skincare! Natural skincare manufacturing, on the other hand, is 100% cruelty-free. They are always more ethical and more empathetic towards nature in all its forms. The ingredients used are natural and usually hypoallergenic, thus being a more reliable option too.
10. Easy availability
