1,328 Reasons to Care

Healthy Skin

What is one of the biggest trends right now, and has been for years? Health, being fit, prolonging this life as long as we can. I think we can all agree that health is one of the most important things we care or should care about. We all want to be around for the things that matter most in our lives. When it comes to this subject people think about fitness, their heart, dieting, and living a more natural life. Everyone usually forgets the one part of health that you should really care about, the part of your body that holds you all together...literally your SKIN!

In most cases, this is the most neglected part of your body. Yes, when we take a shower or bath we wash our bodies but what are we really doing to them? There are so many products out on the market these days, but have you really looked what they contain? Everywhere you go there will be standards that the company has to follow or bands of certain items that cannot be in their products. Always look what is in your products. Different companies have a difference in opinions when it comes to this topic. One will say such and such chemical is perfectly safe and another will say it is not. There will always be this conversation in the industry. In most cases, it is usually just to get you to buy their product over someone else’s. They know the chemical is harmful but it is a cheaper choice so that is what they use.

The US only has 11 banned chemicals, which in turn means that there are a LOT of things that are in these products that can go on your face but really should not be anywhere near you. While these 11 properties are bad for you there are so many other things that should not be used in items that we use on a daily basis. Not all, but some cleansers and moisturizers etc. contain properties that are toxic chemicals, some even cancerous, which are allowed because they are not one of the 11 chemicals that are prohibited for use. This is one of the many reasons that I love being a Mary Kay consultant. Not only do we do rigorous testing on our products but the company follows the European Union safety standards act which has 1,328 banned chemicals!

Always make sure you are looking at the ingredients that are used with your products to insure they are safe for your skin. Remember what you put on your skin your body adsorbs! Meaning it may not cause skin cancer but it could affect other parts of your body. The next time you grab your cleanser or moisturizer just ask you self is this like the piece of double chocolate cake that I passed on earlier because I know it will go right to my hips! It should be the amazing bowl of fruit you had after your workout. Not only do you need to look at the ingredients in your products you need to make sure you are using them in the right way for your skin. This will insure that your products are not only a healthy option for you but working towards your benefit. Having the knowledge of these two subjects will give you amazing glowing and healthy skin! I challenge you to look at some of your products you use and see how many ingredients that are used but are questionable. By changing some of these products to better choices you will have a good feeling knowing your body is not absorbing harmful content.

Stay your kind of beautiful!
