I LIKE THE IDEA OF USING NATURAL PRODUCTS, BUT DO THEY REALLY WORK?

Yes, but it’s complicated. Natural products generally contain ingredients found in nature (think aloe vera, vitamin C and plant oils) with as few additives as possible (preservatives, fragrances, dyes), according to dermatologist Dr Susan Massick.“But natural doesn’t always mean better, because people can be allergic to natural ingredients as easily as synthetics,” she says. Luckily, you can find products with pure ingredients that are good for your skin as well as the environment, like these below.
