I've read a few articles about today's OTC lotions containing chemicals that are bad for your skin, resulting in quicker aging of the skin. I have to use lotion because my facial skin gets really dry and flaky, and eventually without lotion my face gets lumps and rashes.
I'm not sure if these stories are just scare tactics to get you to use natural lotions, or whether it is something to be concerned about. Does anyone have any suggestions for facial lotions that aren't loaded with petroleum products or other harmful chemicals? Some of the articles I've read suggest using olive oil, I was going to try that.
I currently use a Vaseline Facial Lotion, which has the following ingredients.
