Beauty Can Be Found Naturally According To Experts

The University of Louisiana has just released findings from a recent study that shows skin looks better in the long-run after using more natural products on it. The study was a collaborative effort of the sociology department and dermatology research group, which saw 4500 individuals take part over a 5 year period.

The study aimed to determine which type of skin care products made people look more beautiful not only in the short term (1-10 weeks) but also the long term (1-5 years). A whole host of products were tested, including high street brands, those from small organic companies, health spa products, high end luxury products and even supermarket own-brands. The participants were split into groups and given an anonymous product to use on their skin for 5 years.Each week a photo was taken of each participant, which were later looked at and judged by a separate and impartial group of individuals.

There were some interesting findings from the study. Firstly that the more expensive and exclusive products had more of an impact of perceived beauty over a short term period, i.e. after the participant had used the products on their skin for between 1 and 10 weeks. The second finding was that those people who had used the skin care products that had the least synthetic or inorganic ingredients in them, scored highest in the attractiveness test over the long term, i.e. between year 1 and year 5.

Those who conducted the research have suggested that the synthetic products that cause things like skin plumping, tanning and tightening might make people look better in the short term but they take their toll on the skin, which would benefit more from being exposed to all-natural products

Their advice is to always check the labels when you buy skin care products and make sure you know that the products used are high quality and natural when you go for any spa treatment .
