Exposed: The Dangers of Modern Skin Care

The dangers associated with modern skin care are not fully recognized by those using them. Millions put chemicals on their skin that are so toxic that the disposal regulations will not allow them to be in landfills each and every day. There is no government regulation for transparency of where the ingredients come from or what they actually are. There is nothing that regulates whether or not all of the ingredients are even listed on the product labels.

That is why it is important to look for all natural, plant based, organic certified products. These are the very same organic food products that have passed local or federal regulations. That's right, if you wouldn't eat it, then why are you putting it directly on the biggest organ in your body? Organic skin care products have to be guaranteed to be safe even if ingested.

Think about what you are putting onto your skin

Right now there is a lot of talk about organic foods and clothing in the media and on people's minds. Look anywhere and you can see companies trying to get in on the bandwagon. Grocery stores across the nation are sporting organic foods sections. Some even offer a couple of selections of organic skin care products such as bar soap and toothpaste.

Chain stores are not where you should attempt to get products claiming to be natural. They are not necessarily natural if they contain things such as fruit extracts. It is like calling toxic waste healthy just because you added a carrot and said it was stew. Are you going to eat that? Are you going to give it to a baby? Are you going to do your laundry in it? What about animals? Death dealing toxins are put on the skin daily by unknowing millions.

Modern Skin Care has the dangers exposed

For the most part, people pay no attention to what they put onto their skin other than if it smells nice or they like how the package looks. Unknowingly, many people are overloading one of the most valuable parts of their body with noxious chemicals that cause cancer, brain damage, and other major health concerns such as aging, hair loss, impotency, and skin disorders.

However, without knowing it many are putting gasoline by products, fish scales, road kill, dead animals (and their rendered parts, even blood), beetles, rust, mercury, lead aluminum, uranium, toxic metals, and left over chemicals from processing plants onto their skin. Other death dealing and cancer causing, skin drying and killing ingredients are: Alcohol, Formaldehyde, Padimate-O, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Petrolatum, Propane, Animal Fat (Tallow), Butane, Lye, Dioxins, Fluorocarbons, Mineral Oil, Methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl paraben, Sodium Laureth Sulphate, and the list goes on.

The scary part is that makeup companies are allowed to put some of these ingredients in their products and they are not required to list them on the label.

Organic is the solution

People can undo the damage through the use or certified organic products on their skin. The skin is fed by these products. Simply replacing skin care products with organic skin care can reduce the amount of environmental toxin that go into the body. Imagine undoing the damage caused by these incredibly toxic chemicals. Imagine skin care products not based on petroleum (gasoline) so you don't burn as quickly. Can you imagine the skin breathing? Fewer birth defects and reproductive health issues are a step closer as a result.

For the longest time skin was not considered an organ. That it is one of the largest organs of the body is now well known. Not only does it protect from disease but it regulates moisture and body temperature as well. Not only does it breathe but it gets rid of wastes and toxins in the body as well as taking in information and nutrients from surroundings. This covering is semi-permeable and keeps us healthy.

By using certified organic skin care products that are free of these toxins you can feed your skin, reverse cancer cell growth, reverse aging, encourage it to renew its elasticity, and most of all, allow it and your body to finally breathe without the dead weight of chemical skin care products.
