Best Organic Skin Care and Makeup for Your Face

Organic skin care and makeup products are becoming more and more popular, so it is harder to distinguish between what is actually good, and which products just slapped an organic label on the packaging. Many cosmetic brands have been creating organic products for years, so there is plenty to choose from among them, but don't forget to shop the newer lines as well, who consistently come up with fresh products every season.

The following are some of the best organic skin care and makeup products that you can feel confidant about applying to your face.

Tarte Smooth Operator SPF 20 Foundation
Tarte is a wonderful line of organic beauty products that are healthy for your skin and work well. The foundation is especially good because Tarte includes SPF in their foundation, and they have oil free options. If you regularly use moisturizer, and like the way it blends in, you are going to like smooth operator foundation because it blends into your skin just as smoothly as moisturizer-- saving you from that caked on feel and look. If fine lines or wrinkles are an issue, the foundation does double duty by including natural products to help with future damage and natural pigments to reduce the lines that are already apparent. www.tartecosmetics.com, $35
