In the last couple of years, there has been a wave of consciousness when it comes to the cosmetic industry. People have become more aware of what they put on their skin, and how it affects their health. It’s not only what you put into your body, but also what you put on your body. The skin is the largest organ and up to 60% of what you apply on it, enters your blood stream. If what you put on your skin is full of chemicals you can’t even pronounce and contain harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulphate, amongst many others, you should seriously consider what it can be doing to your health.
Chemical ingredients that shouldn’t be entering our system can really disrupt hormonal balance. There’s this common misconception that our endocrine system just involves our reproductive area and affects things like our mood, irritability, suffering from premenstrual syndrome, etc. However, hormones are much more than that. They are chemical messengers in our body (the whole body!) that are responsible for sending messages to all the organs through the circulatory system. When these are disrupted, you are affecting an entire system in the body, which can lead to health issues.
That’s why, it’s important to go clean when it comes to cosmetics. Nowadays, we have endless organic and chemical–free alternatives to choose from. Find out what beauty products are the most toxic and harmful ones for your health!
In general, conventional beauty products are filled with harmful chemicals that you should be avoiding, but these are the top 3 beauty products we use on a regular basis that should be replaced for organic alternatives.
