Here is my tips to choose better skin products. I use Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep site. EWG launched their site to create online safety profiles for cosmetics and personal care products. Simply, they provide information about each skin products ingredients so that we can decide which one is better to use. I found that I've used so many toxic products without any notice. There are tons of so called 'natural' or 'organic' named cosmetic brands all over the world. But you need to find it carefully as they try to deceive with using those words. There are also many certificated marks over the countries. But its standards are various. I usually prefer to select something with USDA or BDIH certificated.
Anyway some of high priced items are good though, I really feel that there are so many decent products with reasonable price with my own skin. Because of the season, my dry skin gets more drier than usual. So I really need to moisturize my skin! Here are skincare products that I recently use.
I use iHerb online store when I buy products. There are really usuful reviews for each items. if you have not purchased any items yet, use below code so that you can get discount $5.
