Not sure on how 'natural' they are, but I use Dove 2 in 1 cleanser and toner (just a drop is enough!), and Nivea oil free moisturising fluid every morning, and I think they are both great. Usually after a couple of weeks of using a product I will get a break out, but I haven't with either of these products so I've stuck with them. I don't think either are very perfumed at all, I don't like the strong perfumes either.
I use the Miessence Balancing Cleanser, skin conditioner and moisturiser. They are divine, all certified organic and so no harsh perfumes and chemicals. Once or twice a week I use the garnet exfoliating scrub and once a week or so I use their mask. All very nice stuff, makes my skin so soft and I rarely get breakouts.
At the moment I use A'kin but it's almost used up so I will move on to Tinderbox.
Stopping using chemicals on my skin and hair was the best thing I've ever done. Inititally my skin went nuts (chemical withdrawal??) but it's been in fantastic condition since.
The Akin and Alchemy brands are great (developed by the same company), as is Miessence and Natural Instinct. Avalon organics do great hair products/shampoos. My favourite brand is, and always will be Jurlique - exxy but well worth it (and highly concentrated, so long lasting). Their herbal recovery gel is wonderful. I use it combined with their normal day moisturiser and it leaves my skin feeling really soft and well moisturised but not oily.
I have very sensitive skin, and I can not go past cetaphil. It has no fragrances and other things that cause skin irritations and is a great moisturiser. Not expensive either.
I am not sure how much I believe in anti-aging products as I believe that it is the sun and lack of water that causes aging.
The best anti-aging product on the market is probably sunscreen.
I have been to makeup counters or nutrimetics parties, beauticians for facials and people always comment on how good my skin looks and they are shocked when I tell them that I dont spend $100 on products, just a $7.00 tube of cetaphil moisturiser.
