Are organic facials really better than standard facials?

As much as possible, I’m trying to take a non-toxic approach to my health, wellness, and beauty routine. Over the last 5 years or so, I’ve been incorporating more organic food products into my life, checking labels and being mindful of ingredients lists. I want to eat food grown without chemicals or pesticides and with short ingredient lists.

But what about beauty products? I recently did a deep dive into all the products I’m using. Simply put, I want to use clean, non-toxic products. I have sensitive skin and as I age I’m finding myself even more sensitive to products and procedures.

Our faces are one of the most sensitive parts of our bodies. We all know that sun, sleep, aging and stress can all contribute to our skin looking dull. If you’re like me, you even notice the difference in your skin depending on what you eat (or am I the only one who suffers from that puffy, “I ate too much salt” look?!)

Knowing that facials are recommended as a way to keep skin clean, supple and glowing, I’ve had several. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that beautiful glow I was looking for. I reacted to the products and the manipulation. My vision of glowing, healthy skin was replaced with the reality of blotchy, itchy skin. So when I saw that organic facials were an option, I was intrigued.

But I wondered.. are organic facials really better? So I set out to find out…
