Safe Skin Care and Cosmetics

safe skin care Do you know the what is in the skin care products you currently use? Almost all of us are certain to look at the ingredient lists of food products we purchase, but skin care is another story.

Until I started to use L'Bri Pure n' Natural, I didn't look at ingredients in skin care. Your eyes will be opened by knowing what is in your product and what effect it can have.

It is amazing what is put into most skin care on the market today, even those claiming to be natural. There is a site on this world wide web http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ where you can check the products currently being used for safety.

I checked the products I was formerly using and was blown away by the results. The product I formerly used claimed to be a natural product, and I found out there was very little 'natural' to it. I am going to list a just few of the ingredients in the products I was using

  • Sodium Laurel Sulfate - This is a popular ingredient used in thousands of cosmetic products on the market. It is a strong degreaser that dries skin and hair and can cause contact eczema in some individuals. Has also been known to cause severe inflammation of the dermaepidermal tissue.
  • Propolyene Glycol - this ingredient is derived from petroleum (ewwww yuck!) and can easily penetrate the safe skin careskin and weaken protein and cellular structure. It is olorless, viscous liquid used in antifreeze solutions (double eww yuck).
  • Acetone - this ingredient I found in the toner I formerly used. Do you know a common use for acetone? That's right, it is commonly used in nail polish remover. This colorless, volatile liquid is often used in astringents, fresheners or clarifying lotions. It is extremely toxic and will dehydrate the skin, which will speed up the aging process (who wants that?).
  • Mineral Oil - This ingredient I found listed first in the moisturizer I was using. It is the most universally used ingredient in skin care products and can attract dirt and cause blackheads and eruptions. It can accelerate free radical damage, again speeding up the againg process.

These are just 4 ingredients, and there are many many more. For a complete list check out the cosmetics database. You can even check to see just how safe the product you are currently using actually is.
