From the time of adolescence through adulthood, each person develops some sort of skin care routine. Some seem to have clear skin with a minimal regimen, while others buy an assortment of masks, cleansers, moisturizers, and more to keep the skin looking healthy. Have you ever looked at the ingredients in these products, though? What are you putting on your skin and could it be doing more harm than good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain cosmetic products that claim to \u201cturn back time\u201d or be \u201cthe fountain of youth\u201d are convincing advertising campaigns, but the chemical ingredients in the majority of these cosmetics can be harmful to the skin. Just like processed foods, cosmetic companies also use chemical preservatives to make their products shelf-stable. All of these parabens and other chemicals can be absorbed into the bloodstream by way of application on the skin. This happens the same way a nicotine patch delivers nicotine into the bloodstream, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be taxing to analyze every single ingredient of every skin product you purchase, but it doesn\u2019t mean you should ignore these ingredients either. A 2005 study screened for over 400 chemicals in the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies. The findings indicated that there were 287 toxins in the blood, 208 of which are known to cause birth defects, and 217 of which are known neurotoxins. While some of these toxins came from dietary sources, others were linked to the use of skin care products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite knowing the harm that these chemicals can cause, some people continue to expose themselves to them. The use of lotions, sunscreens, moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, face washes, and more increases your exposure to chemicals. Now, we aren\u2019t expecting you to become a hermit and make your own soaps and lotions<\/a> from tree sap, but you can take the time to choose skin care products that are chemical-free and made more responsibly. You can also purchase ingredients to make DIY skin care products<\/a>, like the following moisturizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
