The most important organ
of the human body is the “skin”. All kinds of health problems
start with the skin. It has been revealed that the usage of skin care
products that contain chemicals and synthetic products are harmful to
the skin. People depend on these products with intent to beautify
their skin and rid all kinds of skin problems. But if you examine
these products closely you would find that these products contain
harmful chemicals which damage the skin resulting in acnes, wrinkles
and also aging. To overcome the problems caused by these inorganic
products most of the companies are coming up with natural or organic
products.
The inorganic products
are marketed on a large scale by the manufacturers to earn money.
Let’s check out some of the main factors to be considered before
choosing a skin care product-
You might not feel any
difference on your skin during the initial stages but as time passes
you would find the results of using inorganic or synthetic chemicals
on your skin. When you check on the label of any of these products
you are sure to come across some of the following toxic chemicals
among the ingredients-
- Mineral oil- This is one ingredient that has to be avoided as it can cause serious and severe damages to the skin. Tamanu Oil is used in abundance in almost all kinds of skin care products. If you find ingredients by the name petroleum, paraffin wax, or liquid paraffin then no doubt the product contains mineral oil as these are the alternative names for mineral oil. Mineral oil is available at very low costs. Hence they are used in these products on a large scale.
The
main disadvantage of using this oil is that it blocks the entry of
oxygen. The skin needs to breathe oxygen to stay fresh and clean. The
usage of mineral oil leaves the skin affected by pores; it prevents
the skin from detoxifying chemicals and also it can lead to serious
acne problems. Once your skin gets used to these kinds of products
then it becomes necessary that you keep on using them forever. It
makes the skin dry and also the skin is prone to age over time.
- Dioxane- It is another kind of synthetic product that is known to damage the skin. Research has proved that this product tends to cause cancer. How strange people spend money to become sick?
- Fragrances- The skin care products that contain fragrances are highly dangerous. The products that you apply over your skin are absorbed in naturally. Fragrances are created from toxic synthetic chemicals. So, it is advisable to depend on deodorants or perfumes for obtaining fragrance rather than using these chemicals.
- Parabens- Whenever a product is manufactured the company ensures that it lasts throughout. This is achieved by adding Parabens to the products and these Parabens are harmful to the skin.
- Alcohols- Alcohols create an irritating and itching affect on the skin when used. It is a common product in almost all inorganic skin care products.
