Why Skincare Products Are Affecting Your Health
The present world we are in keeps developing and evolving day by day. It is looking like daily, we are witnessing a new pressure from the society to fit into what many of us didn't even wish ourselves to become. Recently, everyone seems to be so conscious of their look much more than anything and it is getting so rampant. We see people actually bleaching their skin from dark skin to fair in complexion all in a bid to have this acceptance from the society.
Skincare products recently have become something so popular that in fact a lot of people can't do without it in their daily routines. We have tons of them ranging from cleansers, some used moisturisers, some make use of toners and many more. Even though it actually helps to achieve this smooth looking skin, but most of the time, we fail to talk about the health implications of it.
From my own personal experience of using some skincare products and also from my own personal research, most of these skincare products we make use of contains harmful ingredients that can affect our health. So many of us did not even know about the hidden chemicals in those skincare products. In fact sometimes, some of them are well aware of them but due to the pressure from the society and low self esteem of themselves, they can go to an extent to make use of those skincare products even though they are aware of the chemicals in it.
Some.of the chemicals present in some of those skincare products. Examples like those parabens, sulfates, phthalates and many more are very dangerous because they can affect our endocrine system negatively. Quite a pity that many of us are not even aware of that. In fact it has been proven that some of the chemicals in those skincare products have a way of affecting our hormones and that's why some skincare products can lead to health issues like skin cancer, breast cancer and many more.
Someone reading this might be asking, how do those chemicals get into our body system since they are just cream. Well many of us might see it as just a cream but it goes beyond that. Our skin is one of the most sensitive parts of our body. It is absorbent in nature. All these chemicals get into our body through our skin. The funniest thing is those chemicals, we might not even see their side effects instantly, sometimes it might have taken a few months before we start seeing the Manifestation of them.
All these creams really have long term effect not only on our skin but also on our health. You might be looking so glowing at the beginning and feeling like they are not having any side effects. But it is just a matter of time before you start seeing the implications and sometimes it might have been too late. They might have caused so much damaged to your skin and body system. You need to run away from them.
Let me create the balance before I conclude. I am not saying you should not make use of any skincare products. Of course that is not possible but what I am trying to say is pay careful attention to what you used before it damages you. I personally, before I get any new skincare products, I make use I checked the chemicals used in making those products. Health is always wealth.
