Natural Skincare: 7 Things You Need to Know

Are you frustrated with the amount of lies being perpetrated by the skincare companies.
Especially when it comes to natural skincare.
Many of the "natural skincare products" these skincare companies are producing aren't even natural to begin with in the purest sense.
Here are some tips to help you avoid certain ingredients found in "natural skincare".
Acrylamide:  Found in many hand and face creams.
Studies suggest it may cause breast tumors.
Alcohols:  ethanol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl  alcohol and SD alcohol - Very drying and irritating for the skin.
Alcohols strip away the skin's natural acid mantle, making you more vulnerable to bacteria, moulds and viruses.
May promote brown spots and premature aging of skin.
  (Note: We do use stearyl and cetearyl alcohol, which are waxes and have nothing in common with the alcohols listed above.
) DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine), and TEA (triethanolamine):  Often used in skincare products to adjust the pH.
TEA causes allergic reactions including eye problems, dryness of hair and skin, and could be toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time.
These chemicals are already restricted in Europe due to known carcinogenic effects.
Dioxane: (a synthetic derivative of coconut).
  Widely used in skincare products.
Usually contains high concentrations of 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin.
1,4-dioxane is considered a chemical "known to the State of California to cause cancer.
" It is a by-product of the cancer-causing petrochemical ethylene oxide, which is used as part of a  process called ethoxylation, which makes harsh ingredients milder.
1,4-Dioxane is also suspected of being a kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant and respiratory toxicant, among others, according to the California EPA.
It is also a leading groundwater contaminant.
Fragrance: The term 'fragrance' is a real minefield.
It can refer to up 4000 separate ingredients, many toxic or carcinogenic.
Many common fragrances can affect the central nervous system, causing depression, hyperactivity, and irritability.
Mineral oil: liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, petrolatum  - a petroleum by-product that coats the skin to keep in moisture.
It clogs the pores, interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, encouraging acne and other disorders.
Can cause photosensitivity and strips the natural oils from the skin causing chapping and dryness, also premature ageing.
  Any mineral oil derivative can be contaminated with cancer causing PAH's (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons).
Skincare manufacturers use mineral oil because it's cheap.
Nitrosamines: Can be formed in skincare products when amines (such as DEA, MEA or TEA) are combined with formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (such as bronopol or quaternium-15).
Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic.
Avoiding these dangerous ingredients may not only give you better skin but may also save your life.
Your next step is to find more natural substances such as Cynergy TK, phytessences wakame and Babassu which is a natural wax.
Fortunately I have put a detailed list of natural ingredients to that need to be in the natural skincare you are using.
Now thanks to these natural ingredients getting old isn't an option but having old looking skin is, see you on the other side.
