THE WIFE Guide: Organic Skin Care

Sure, advancement in technology during the Industrial Revolution brought skin care to the masses with indoor plumbing, and chemists in the newly booming cosmetic industry played a defining role in esthetics, for the first time, adding ingredients like additives, parabens, and phthalates to organic products. For thousands of years wives have treated their skin with organic material and successfully made it this far, so if you are convinced “natural” is the way to go. Nowadays the abundance of all natural anti-aging skincare can be quite overwhelming to say the least. Click “continue reading” for 8 Ingredients in organic products that will help improve your skin’s health.  -Elizabeth Rago for THE WIFE
