 Neostrata Facial Cleanser

You will find many face cleansers and moisturizers on the market, but if you want to know what makes Neostrata stand out from the crowd, look no further.

The Neostrata line is made with natural and herbal ingredients, some of which are better than others for your skin. While some people may argue that cruelty-free and paraben-free options aren't natural, herbal ingredients are a great alternative and often contain powerful antioxidants.

 

Is It Effected By Magic Or Science?

Believe it or not, not all “skin-improving” products are created equal and, in some cases, could be doing more harm than good. To achieve healthy and glowing skin, you have to understand how the skin works and which products are genuinely good for you. Let's take a look, shall we?

The skin is the largest organ in our body. Not only does it protect us from the outside world, but it also aids in the synthesis and secretion of hormones and other cellular materials needed for proper bodily function. This is why, when we're talking about our skin, we're usually not just talking about the surface appearance.

On the surface, the skin may appear to be a simple, static sheet of armor, shielding us from the harmful rays of the sun and blocking odor molecules, but, in reality, it is a living, breathing entity that is constantly changing and adapting to the stresses and strains of daily living. This is why it is so important to take care of your skin—it is a vital part of your body and, as such, needs to be looked after carefully and with dedication.

Products for sale that promise to “improve the quality of your skin” or that state a bold goal to “lighten your dark spots” rarely live up to the hype and, in some cases, may do more harm than good. It is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to topical medications of any kind and, as such, always best to opt for natural products that have been clinically tested and shown to be safe for human skin. Fortunately, herbal skincare can be an effective way to go—you won't be depriving your skin of essential nutrients with these kinds of products, as many topical medications tend to do.

 

How Does It Work?

As we established earlier, the skin is a very complex organism and, as such, operates on many different levels. Topically applied products that contain beneficial and active ingredients can penetrate the stratum corneum (the top layer of the skin), enabling them to affect inner organs and tissues and improving the overall quality of your skin in the process. Let's look at each ingredient in more detail.
