Skin cream was once thought to sit on top of your skin and never penetrate into the body. Experts claim that 60 to 70 percent of everything that is put on the body is absorbed into the skin. Nearly 90 percent of the ingredients of products used on the skin have not been evaluated for safety. This has led to a growing popularity of organic skin care products.

I've found organic face packs and creams from Biotique really good. They're 100% herbal and chemical-free. The Ayurvedic line can be bought at www.jaipurcosmetics.com
