The average person today rubs, sprays, and even bathes in
almost 130 different chemicals a day. Many cosmetics companies consider most of
these chemicals safe. However, others are acknowledging what kind of buildup it
could lead to in the end and what these beauty products may do to you. While
there are certainly skin-care companies that genuinely care about
sustainability and the effect they have on the environment and the people’s
health, many are simply chasing the trend. This can be seem in their
“outside-in” approach to sustainability. In other words, the most immediate
changes we have seen have been external to the actual product: recyclable and
biodegradable packaging, non-virgin shipping materials, charitable donations,
forestry stewardship programs, etc. Various companies are working on creating safer
and simpler alternatives for the environment, where these products are also
better for our bodies. You can avoid the worry by looking into a considerable
natural skin care routine. Here are a few alternatives to consider:
Simplify your
routine.
You do not need expensive creams, lotions or makeup that
drug stores and cosmetic stands advertises as the best. Just really on basic cleansers, moisturizers,
toners, and maybe some lotions.
Making sure the
product has real natural ingredients.
Some items may claim that they are natural cleansers, but
they are not 100% natural, meaning they still may have chemical enhancers in
the ingredients. Be aware and look out for “Natural” and “All Natural.”
No need for fancy
Fragrances in cleansing products
Soaps, lotions, and face wash may contain mixtures of toxic
chemicals to improve scent for your body. It may be okay for some people, but
for many others, these chemicals frequently contain phthalates, with can
trigger allergic reactions. Some symptoms are breakouts on the face and skin
rashes. So try looking for fragrance free products for a more natural cleanse
or scent.
Search for organic
products
Organic ingredients are usually found from naturally farmed
products and were not enhanced with fertilizers or pesticides during the
growth. You can find these products by looking for a certified USDA organic
seal or label on them.
At home made
ingredients
Try making at home remedies for skin treatments. Many of us
struggle with the dry winter skin and lack of exfoliation. Instead of buying an
expensive body scrub, we can create our own by combining fresh coffee ground,
an ingredient we all may have, brown sugar, and massage oil. Voila, your very
own at-home body scrub! Click here
