Obtaining a healthy skin with diet is all about adopting good nutritional habits.
However, even when we create healthy eating habits for vibrant skin you’ll probably use moisturisers, cleansers, makeup, and other cosmetics to maintain it.
Unfortunately, I’ve found many clients undo their efforts towards healthy skin, (and the many other benefits they get from the right diet) when they choose poor-quality skincare products. The average woman uses about 12 beauty products and within many of them lurk thousands of toxic chemicals. Those chemicals include parabens, phthalates, synthetic colors, formaldehyde, fragrances, and propylene glycol to help them look and smell nice and to increase shelf life. Many anti-wrinkle creams for instance, contain toxins that prematurely age your skin by increasing free radical damage and disrupting hormones. These and other products can also trigger an array of problems including allergies and can even act as irritants and have cancer causing ingredients. Its crazy that manufacturers promise these (sometimes-very-expensive) cosmetics will improve your skin, but they can actually make it worse! Legitimate-sounding terms like “hypoallergenic” or “Dermatologist Tested” are often just marketing terms. Even products labeled “organic” or “natural” can contain chemicals and those certified organic products might contain only 10 percent organic ingredients. Make sure to check the labels of the products you’re using on your skin. 🙂
