Natural
cosmetics are booming in today’s health conscious world. With the
advancement of science, we have learned that what you put on your body
matters as much as what you put in your body. The skin is the body’s
largest organ and it readily absorbs over 60% of the products and
medications put on it. That is why the transdermal patches are
increasing in popularity. The skin will absorb the medication over an
extended portion of time and there is no interaction with the digestive
tract. So why should you turn to natural cosmetics?
The
U.S. government poorly manages the Cosmetic, Toiletries and Fragrances
industry. This industry makes just over $50 billion a year. They
have hired lobbyists to lobby Congress on their behalf. Because of the
strength and tenacity of these lobbyists, the laws that would protect
the “people” from harmful products are not put into effect.
Potentially Harmful and Carcinogenic Ingredients Might be in Your Makeup!Most
people do not realize that the cosmetics or skin care systems they use
on a daily basis have potentially harmful or carcinogenic ingredients
in them. This organization that fights for consumers is Safe Cosmetics
Organization . Their
free website provides the
consumer the ability to input their cosmetic in question and receive an
complete analysis of that cosmetic. They have an easy to follow
numbering system that rates the product in question form 0 (no harm
done) to 10 (extremely hazardous to your health).
After visiting this site, you may very well throw all of your makeup in
the trash and seek out the safe alternative such as
natural beauty products.
Natural CosmeticsNatural
beauty products are made with the consumer in mind. They feature only
products found in nature; products that are safe. Even young girls
who are just starting to use cosmetics can use natural or organic
cosmetics without running the added risk of acne and other skin
problems. Regular skin care products and makeup usually have additives
that are petroleum based or man made which can cause potential birth
defects, cancer, developmental delays, skin rashes, skin irritations,
acne, premature aging of the skin and more.
All natural
cosmetics contain potent formulas that help promote vibrant firmer skin
that has an incredible softness to it. Most
natural cosmetics are safe
enough to wear to bed at night, but we don’t recommend that! Organic
or natural makeup and skin care is not all made the same. There are
some brands that are better than others, so please read the labels.
The natural cosmetics and
skin care systems that use phyto-collagen
products (products that are plant based only- no animal bi-products)
are the best and most effective. Phyto-collagen products are more
readily absorbed by the skin and provide more relief from the things we
encounter in our daily surroundings.
If you have skin that
has aged prematurely, acne or allergies , then natural makeup and skin
care is the only option open to you. These products were made with the
consumer’s well being in mind. They are not only soothing, refreshing
and beneficial, they look absolutely amazing as if you are wearing
nothing at all! Protect your health and your skin at the same by
including all natural or organic skin care and cosmetics into your
daily ritual.
