As we age, our skin loses it elasticity and firmness. Menopause, other natural ageing factors, excessive sun exposure, and lifestyle choices such as smoking contribute to our skin’s ageing. The use of chemicals for personal care, even the most expensive, contributes to ageing. Unique care products sold in stores represent 90% of water. This is not plain water, and it is merely old water that contains spilt pharmaceuticals, bleach to clean, fluoride to protect your teeth, and even chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Ingredients that were originally natural, such as oats, are destroyed in the manufacturing process when chemicals are added after chemicals, thus negating oats’ effects. These cosmetics are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Why would anyone want to put something containing impure ingredients on her delicate face? Simple answer: you wouldn’t know if you knew what is in the skincare products you use.
We have established the relationship between water and the real ingredients of beauty products that are sold everywhere. Did you know that most ingredients like dioxane and formaldehyde are known or suspected toxins, even carcinogens? Did you know that certain chemicals in personal care products cause cancer in experimental animals? Even companies that claim their product has never been tested on animals use data from other companies in the industry to see how much of each chemical they can use without apparent harm. there are no studies that tell us how much of a chemical is safe at any level for long-term exposure.
We cannot stop time; ageing is a reality. It begins with proper skin nutrition through appropriate diet and lifestyle and what we put on the skin. Our incredible skin absorbs sixty per cent of what we put on it, including water, soap, perfume, and even dyes! The harsh chemicals dry out the skin, making it thinner and older. Without chemicals, purely natural products only certified organic and natural ingredients, processed with minimal costs. Without rigorous manufacturing methods that change their composition, they are the best topical nutrition we can offer.
Chemicals are hidden under innocent names on labels or characters that only chemists can understand. Use only the best natural organic products on delicate faces, especially around the eyes where the skin is thinner. Choose foods carefully, use only those that do not contain water. These products allow for a higher concentration of safe, chemical, and pesticide-free ingredients. These are foods that need to be fed externally to help the skin maintain its elasticity and firmness. Be good to your skin as you age and you will pay back your investment by ageing more slowly and allowing you to maintain a youthful glow.
