Comments on: Controversy: Why Natural Skin Care Isn’t Always Better http://www.futurederm.com/2008/06/12/controversy-why-natural-skin-care-isnt-always-better/ Perspectives from a future dermatologist Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:58:09 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: KK http://www.futurederm.com/2008/06/12/controversy-why-natural-skin-care-isnt-always-better/comment-page-1/#comment-5247 KK Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:42:13 +0000 http://www.futurederm.com/?p=573#comment-5247 I've heard that there are over 1,000 additives used in skin care & makeup products that are banned in Europe & only a few of those additives are banned here, many "sneak" into the product under fragrance. Is Europe more discerning with their skin care products than we are in the USA & should we be more concerned?

I have been using their products for the last 6 months - and now stopped. . . Because my skin has naturally improved itself using its organic ingredients. I have seen a real decline in the amount of wrinkles on the side of my eyes. I would recommend the "VITAMIN ENHANCED FACE FIRMING SERUM". This is the anti wrinkle serum I only used for 6 months and now stopped because it naturally has improved my owns skins ability to heal itsefl and become much firmer. This is because it uses the organic compound DMAE and is infused with REAL vitamins….not synthetic vitamins… As a body lotion, I use the HONEY HONEY lotion. It smells like honey and my husband likes it. I recommend you buy from their website….because at Whole Foods they are usually sold at full price….but the website now has a sale going on… www.madefromearth.com Hey everyone,

My aesthetician tells me to avoid products with silicone in it, especially dimethicone or cyclomethicone. She said that these products build a film on the skin over time and the young skin stops to protect itself but instead relies on this film. She said one has to do microderm from time to time to remove this. She would only recommend products with silicone in it to older skin which is not able to protect itself. Is this true? I found out that most products these days contain silicone in one form or another, and it's hard to find something which doesn't. Thanks! Thanks Nicki for the very useful post.

Rosehip Oil is great as a moisturizer. Is it true that less is more in the case for skin care? Can using too many products actually ruin your skin?
