Chemicals In Your Skin Care
We all strive to be healthy & glowing from the inside out but forget one important factor.... CHEMICAL EXPOSURE! In today's world we are surrounded by pollution, chemicals & false marketing from Major Cosmetic Companies whom paint a picture of healthy skin through air brushed models & the promise of a healthy GLOW!
We focus so much energy & time on what we eat, the supplements we take & our exercise routines that we forget about what we are putting on our skin, the chemicals used in most big brand name cosmetics as listed below are not only being absorbed through the skin into your system but reeking havoc on your insides & causing free radical damage. The skin is actually quite an uncomplicated organ & only needs the basics to be happy, nourished & glowing.
The skin naturally produces SEBUM from the Sebaceous Gland which is an oil used in the protection & hydration of the skin. When the skin is dehydrated or dried out from over cleansing with harsh chemicals it can then over produce causing skin issues like blemishes, blackheads & white heads. So as you see can see, THE SKIN IS NOT COMPLICATED! Don't be sucked in to gimmicks, marketing & false promises as if you EAT WELL, KEEP HYDRATED & USE A BASIC NATURAL SKIN CARE RANGE YOUR SKIN & INSIDES WILL BLOSSOM WITH VITALITY.
Common Chemicals To Watch:
