Man made ingredients are cheaper to produce than natural ingredients. However they are not always healthy for the human body. Many of them are linked to cancer. Most of them will cause an immune system response. While your immune system is busy taking care of these chemicals, the Candida yeast can proliferate.

Your skin will be healthy if you eat right and avoid chemicals that dry your skin like chlorine. Chlorine is found in swimming poolsicon, in your drinking watericon and in your showericon. Try to swim in non-chlorinated watericon and get filters for your drinking watericon and for your showericon.

Healthy skin doesn't need moisturizer however if you are forced to use a moisturizer, there are many natural alternatives. Check out the brands I recommended below. Make sure to read the ingredients of any moisturizer that you buy. Many that claim to be healthy have some of these harmful skin lotion additives in them.

Another way to avoid the harmful skin lotion additives is to make your own lotion. Three of the best natural oils you can use are Coconut Oil, Almond Oil and Emu Oil. Add your favorite essential oils to add a little fragrance and you have an all natural - healthy moisturizer.
