Your skin is the largest organ of your body and the most exposed. It is susceptible to all kinds of damages due to sun, wind, temperature, if you smoke or have poor nutrition. All these factors can adversely affect your skin. Your skin is very sensitive, especially your face and neck.
Do the products you use irritate your skin and you just cant seem to find a product that will soothe and rejuvenate your skin without the irritation? You should become aware of how your skin reacts to certain ingredients and try to avoid them.
There are some ingredients that are synthetic and chemically based that are harmful to your skin and can cause irritation making your skin red and look inflamed. Let me give you a brief outline of some of these products and why you should avoid using them.
Acrylamide
: Found in many hand and face creams. Studies indicate it may cause breast tumors.
Alcohols
: Ethanol, ethyl, methanol, benzyl, isopropyl, and SD alcohol. These dry out your skin and strip away the skin’s natural acid mantle making you more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.Widely used in skin care products. Usually contain high volume of 1,4 dioxane. Absorbs by the skin very easily. It is a by-product of the cancer-causing petrochemical ethylene oxide.
Dioxane:
Fragrance
: A toxic ingredient which can affect the central nervous system causing depression and irritability.
Mineral Oil
: (Liquid paraffin, paraffin was, petrolatum) A petroleum by-product that coasts the skin to keep in moisture. It clogs the pores and interferes with the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins.
Parabens
: Methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl are widely used in preservatives in ski care products.
Studies have suggested that they may cause cancer and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
These are some of the ingredients most skin care companies would prefer you didn’t know about, the toxic chemicals they are using in their products.
The truth be told, you would have second thoughts purchasing most of those products being advertised, even the most expensive ones.
