Organic skin care products -Are they really different?
The world is realizing that not only is it necessary to eat
organically but also to use organic skin care products to feed
their skin. Many people have asked the very same question
regarding organic foods versus toxic chemical laden foods. And
the answer is a resounding "yes". People are finding out that
there is indeed a difference in the food they eat. And feeding
your skin with organic skin care products will make a difference
as well. Using organic body care products will help to eliminate
toxic chemicals from your body. This is essential to a healthy
organic lifestyle. Your skin absorbs the toxic chemicals that
are placed in the skin care products. Many people are taking
great care to eat organically but do not realize that their skin
care products are guilty of continuing to put toxic chemicals
into their bodies. Some of the non-organic skin care product
additives to beware of include dimethicone, carbomer 941, peg 50
almond glycerides, sodium laureth sulfosuccinate, TEA, DMDM
hydantoin, imidiazolidinyl urea, BHT, FD & C Yellow No. 6, and
fragrance. These are just a few of the chemicals that have been
linked with health problems. Some of these toxins are potential
carcinogens. When purchasing skin care be sure to read the
labels and if you can't remember all the toxic chemical names
that you read about then keep in mind that most of the words you
can barely pronounce are chemicals. Look for ingredients you are
familiar with such as aloe or avocado. Again take the time to
learn about these harmful synthetic chemicals and do everything
in your power to avoid them including but not limited to eating
organic food, and using organic skin care.
