Are Your Skin Care Products Sabotaging Your Health? When you walk down the beauty aisles at the drugstore, you’re walking amongst bottles, tubes and tubs of dozens of beauty brands’ anti aging skin care products. But for most of them, if you picked up the container, you’d see plenty of long, difficult-to-pronounce words for ingredients that are lurking in those same products. Propylparaben? Sodium laureth sulfate? Methylisothiazolinone? Chances are good, if you can’t pronounce it, you don’t know what it is or what it does; and surprise, many of these words describe chemicals in your anti aging cream and skin lotions, which can cause harm to the body. You may think that since you’re not actually consuming the product orally, your body won’t reap any bad effects from chemicals. But your skin is the largest organ of your body, and way more stuff is absorbed through it and dumped into the bloodstream than you’d think. And the products that you think are going to help you with how to look younger may actually be sabotaging your chances at the thing they’re promoting! This is because beauty and anti aging skin care products often contain drying detergents and alcohols, which dry out the surface of the skin even if the product is meant to be hydrating. In addition, many of these chemicals can cause health problems when used over a long period of time, ranging from minor skin irritations such as psoriasis and eczema, to full- blown illnesses and wellness crises. These ingredients are included in beauty products because they can help clean the skin, or encourage cell regeneration, or they help preserve and improve the shelf life of products, but often at the detriment of your health.

Are Your Skin Care Products Sabotaging Your Health?

When you walk down the beauty aisles at the drugstore, you’re walking amongst bottles,

tubes and tubs of dozens of beauty brands’ anti aging skin care products. But for most of

them, if you picked up the container, you’d see plenty of long, difficult-to-pronounce words

for ingredients that are lurking in those same products. Propylparaben? Sodium laureth

sulfate? Methylisothiazolinone? Chances are good, if you can’t pronounce it, you don’t know

what it is or what it does; and surprise, many of these words describe chemicals in your anti

aging cream and skin lotions, which can cause harm to the body.

You may think that since you’re not actually consuming the product orally, your body won’t

reap any bad effects from chemicals. But your skin is the largest organ of your body, and

way more stuff is absorbed through it and dumped into the bloodstream than you’d think.

And the products that you think are going to help you with how to look younger may

actually be sabotaging your chances at the thing they’re promoting! This is because beauty

and anti aging skin care products often contain drying detergents and alcohols, which dry

out the surface of the skin even if the product is meant to be hydrating.

In addition, many of these chemicals can cause health problems when used over a long

period of time, ranging from minor skin irritations such as psoriasis and eczema, to full-

blown illnesses and wellness crises. These ingredients are included in beauty products

because they can help clean the skin, or encourage cell regeneration, or they help preserve

and improve the shelf life of products, but often at the detriment of your health.

Many of these chemicals have been named as potential causers of various types of cancer;

others have been linked to birth defects among pregnant women, problems with the spine

and nervous system, and damage to almost every system in the body. And even if one

product won’t cause harm to your skin, if you combine it with other chemical-laden

products, the chemicals may invite a reaction that can be damaging to your health.

How to avoid damaging your skin and health.

If you want to know how to look younger naturally while avoiding chemical compounds,

choose a natural anti wrinkle cream and other anti aging skin care products. An even better

option would be to go fully organic on your whole beauty regimen. Natural and organic

products don’t contain damaging chemicals, only things that could be found if you were to

wander outside. And while natural products are regulated similarly to their non-natural

counterparts, organic skin lotions and creams are regulated and certified as organic by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Aloe Vella sells anti-aging skin care products including anti wrinkle cream, anti aging cream

along with many others at reasonable prices. Our anti aging cream contain nutritional

ingredients that are essential for body & face. For More info please visit:
