There is little question why wrinkle creams, skin serums and a myriad of other products are catapulting the anti-aging skincare industry ahead of the rest of the skincare market. People want to look and feel their best, and many of these products can offer just that.
What I would like to do is speak to you today about one very important tip that can help you find the highest quality products; products that are based around the highest in quality, safety and effectiveness.
You must know that much of the industry does not want you know about paraben free skincare, let me tell you why.
You see, the big players in almost every industry have gotten there by selling more and spending less; which is a great business model, but rest assured does not always create the most safe and effective products. And this goes for the anti-aging skincare business.
One of the most pervasive assaults against our quest for health and beauty are toxic tagalongs like preservatives such as the paraben family of chemicals. Parabens are used as preservatives in many thousands of cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical products which our population is constantly exposed to. Finding paraben free skincare products can dramatically decrease ones exposure to these chemicals.
There are 4 main parabens; butylparaben, methylparaben, ethylparaben and propylparaben. On the label these would be listed as ‘in-active’ ingredients, setting them apart from the active ingredients such as anti-oxidants, exfoliates, moisturizers and cleansers. The problem is that science has proven that these in-actives, really are not that in-active.
The Paraben family of preservatives has proven to be hormone mimickers. What this means is that due to their shape and structure, as well as an affinity they have towards our body’s natural hormone receptors; they can either compete for a receptor site, knocking off a biological hormone which is meant be there, or worse yet exert some sort of unnatural stimulation upon the receptor.
Implications of paraben exposure and such hormone mimicking activity has resulted in; parabens being discovered in cancer breast tumors, disruption of hormonal secretions such as testosterone and decreased sperm production, as well as shown to be responsible for numerous cases of allergic responses of the skin.
It’s true; we do live in a toxic environment. One of the best things you can do for your health and your skin is to eliminate as many toxic tagalongs as possible. In my skincare coaching services I recommend searching for safe and effective age defying paraben free skincare products.
And trust me; your skin will love you for feeding it highly effective, high quality wrinkle creams and skin serums, I promise that this decision for your beauty and your health will pay you back over and over again. Do your research, read the ingredients, and make the decision that is best for your beauty, your youth and your health.
If you need a great resource, click on the skin botanica link to the right. They have great products although our favorite because it is paraben free is called 100% Pure...you will love it.
