The Shift to Naturals in Skincare

Skincare can be expensive. And usually with skincare, the starting point is the soap, the usual buy of a consumer.

An ordinary soap can cost as much as Php 150- 250.00,   depending on the soap maker/producer, and location where it’s bought.  Whereas one can buy a commercial soap in major stores and even neighborhood stores for a third of a price mentioned.

Is there really a difference for those who doesn't want to make a fuss out of the brand or the soap ingredients?

            As a soap buyer, it's not really a big issue because soaps are generally intended for cleansing.  But to a skincare enthusiast, the ingredients matter.  Because using soaps made from nature can be more beneficial in the long run.

            Below is a comparison of how commercial soaps differ from natural soaps. 

                Commercial soaps are:

o   More accessible. You can buy this kind of soap anywhere, anytime.

o   Affordable.  A fraction of a cost of organic, or natural soaps can make a lot of different in the purchasing decision of a consumer.

o   Variety of choices. With commercial soaps you have plenty of options. You can pick those with whitening, or moisturizing benefits, etc. And the variants are more pronounced and eclectic.

Natural soaps:

o   Have selective ingredients.  It's ingredients can be so discriminating that you can find these only in natural soaps.  Natural soap products can have floral-based, skincare-focused ingredients. It can even use a combination of ingredients to give the best effect on skin. 

o   Limited availability. When one runs out of natural soaps, one has to go to the specific store where it can be bought. Locally these are available in specialty stores or shops.

o   Skincare benefits can be seen and observed.  The effects of natural soaps are more immediate and can be seen by a consumer.

It's really about the preferences of a soap buyer, whether to choose commercial or natural soaps.  But a skincare enthusiast can’t really tell the difference until one uses both products regularly.  

These having said, are shared from a consumer’s experience and not from a skin care expert.

What do you think is more important, skin care or makeup in one’s every day  beauty  items?
