The skin and the face are the most exposed to the harmful chemicals that bring about aging and cell death. Millions of reactive oxygen species or free radicals from the environment bombard the skin and react with the cells upon contact to produce more of the reactive species and cause imbalance within the cells. The body has backup mechanisms in the form of enzymes that quickly repair the damaged ones brought by the highly reactive species.

Face creams that claim to cater to certain skin types like oily, dry, or combination are not natural and here's why. A natural cream would not contain any ingredients that would irritate certain types of skin and it would be appropriate for all skin types.

Good quality natural face creams are designed to help eliminate sagging skin, age spots, crows' feet, skin blotches and improve the overall look and feel of the skin. Most of the skin creams available in retail locations merely treat the symptoms and do not treat the causes.

The main causes of aging skin are a decrease in hyaluronic acid, a loss of collagen and elastin and oxidation. A good natural face cream will target these areas and help the skin restore its natural elasticity.

Night creams should be rich in emollients and natural oils that don't clog your pores. Although some of the best creams contain ingredients that sound like they will leave a heavy, greasy feeling on your skin, they shouldn't.

Natural or organic anti aging face creams are a much more better option, they wont cause dryness, they will be safe to use on any type of skin, they will help your skin heal it self and they will provide your skin with the necessary nutrients that it needs to protect you from free radicals.

Good night face cream is extremely difficult to find. Big brand skin care companies are more concerned with image than creating a quality product. Rubbing collagen into your face will not make any difference in the amount of collagen your body produces. You need to stop the degenerative process that causes collagen loss in the first place. Night creams that contain active manuka honey and functional keratin are very effective at doing this.

In fact many night face creams that you see advertised may include any number of chemicals in their formula that can cause irritation and inflammation in sensitive skin, but they don't tell you that. Also chemicals are not good for the health of your skin, they can dry your skin and cause wrinkles later.

Just because face creams contain a couple organic ingredients, they are not necessarily natural products! Those organic ingredients aren't going to be very beneficial if they are combined with harmful synthetic chemicals like parabens, mineral oils, and others commonly found in face cream.
