Love yourself

Love Yourself - Care For Yourself

I know there is a lot of talk about what people should put into their bodies, i.e. Food. I noticed that there is not a lot of talk about what people should put on their bodies, i.e. Make-up and beauty products.

I'm just doing an online course about Eczema and it was mentioned there that some people, particularly women, put up to 29 different beauty products on their skin before they leave the house in the morning. There is shower gel, shampoo, conditioner in the shower and after the shower there is body lotion, deodorant, hair spray and all the make-up which without some women don't feel comfortable to face the world. Sorry, I do not want to spoil your fun or your sense of cleanliness but there is danger coming very few people are aware of. 

Parabens and other chemicals are used in bodycare and cosmetic products as preservatives, and to give the product a certain properties. On top of that most of them are derived from petrochemicals which is not good for the skin. The skin is the biggest organ of the body and it has the function to regulate your body temperature and moisture, and to hold everything together. It is also an organ for elimination and for breathing. You absorb through your skin as well. So all the nasty chemicals which are in your body care products go straight through your skin into your body, where they are stored in the fatty tissues. They accumulate there and can cause all sort of health issues. The petrochemicals also form a film on the skin and prevent it from breathing. In babies this can cause a dangerous heat accumulation in the body. And think of aerosols like deodorants and hairspray. Do you suffer from asthma? You definitely should avoid aerosols then. 

So look for cosmetics without parabens. There are more natural products around but they are more expensive most of the time. Maybe less is more?
