Us girls go to a lot of work to be beautiful! (or some of us do!). We do all the showering, the hair stuff, the skin care – cleansers, toners, moisturisers etc, the body lotions. Then there’s the makeup, the perfume etc. It’s a whole lot of commitment, a whole lot of work and a whole lot of chemicals!
It’s estimated that the average women absorbs over 2 kilos of harmful chemicals each year from the products that are supposed to make us appear all healthy and beautiful. That’s the whole idea is to look healthy – I mean health and beauty go together right? Good clear skin, bright clear eyes, white healthy teeth, nice shiny healthy hair. That’s what all the products are for – to make it look like we’re nice and healthy and that in turn makes us more attractive.
The problem is that most of us girls are using products that contain lots of harmful chemicals and don’t even know it. Chemicals that cause cancer and other health problems. Chemicals that make us age faster! Chemicals that make us get sick more often and that make us feel like crap with headaches, PMS, colds and flu and no energy.
I started learning about these chemicals and stopped using these harmful products quite a few years ago now. I’ve got more info on my website www.toxinfreefuture.com if you want to check out the products that are likely to be a problem and you can check out what dangerous ingredients are in the product’s you’re using.
Why do they use these dangerous ingredients? Because they’re cheap! and they look like they do the job. Thing is once you change to using products with ingredients that really do the job, you realise just how cheap and nasty the other stuff is! Trouble is that until you know the difference, you don’t know any better!
