Comments:   I prefer cosmetics for skin because using natural ingredients does not give an immediate effect. However with the use of cosmetic and beauty products give us an immediate change. It is not bad to use cosmetics one in a while. For example, if you are going for any party or any important occasion it is ok to use cosmetics at that time. Otherwise natural ingredients can be preferred by us for our skin. And yes, it is also true that over usage of cosmetics can harm our skin and make it worse. So it is better to use them occasionally. So I use it occasionally as a combination of both natural and cosmetic products.

Comments:   Natural products are always good for the skin and it does not leave any side effect. I always use honey and lemon mask as a skin bleach. I do not use any other skin bleach, I mean to say the other unnatural bleaches available in market because they make facial hair look golden and it looks so dirty. It is better to use natural ingredients for bleaching facial skin. Sometimes I also use tomato and yogurt face mask which works better on my face. It also saves on the unnecessary expenses on other beauty products. At the same time we do not have to take risk of using cosmetic and chemical based products on our delicate skin.

It gives a very good feeling to get a beautiful skin naturally and without using any cosmetic products.
