Blog: Skincare with Mary--Green, All Natural, and Organic

Well if you're like me, you'd like to believe that products that say "all natural," "green" and "organic" actually mean something. We all want to do better by the environment and our skin/bodies.

However, the sad truth is, they don't mean much in the world of cosmetics and skincare. Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, two of the most well respected names in dermatology, share more insight into why this is.

For example, federal regulations don't require any specifics, so be wary of the hype! According to the Doctors, using a banana, for example, just to make a product smell better can allow it to be called organic or natural.

With such lax regulations on this terminology, it's best to know who is behind the skincare products you are buying and know their reputation and track record to be sure you're getting products that are good for you and do what they say they will do.

To be green and stay healthy, we all must do our research first! Happy Earth Day Weekend, everyone!
