In this article I'm going to blow the lid off a few face cream secrets that most men and women do not know about.
There are a lot of dangerous skin care ingredients used in almost all skin care products today that you should avoid at all cost.
The best moisturizing face creams are free from chemicals and artificial preservatives.
The reason most companies use these ingredients is because it cuts down on production cost, which is understandable I guess.
Companies have to make money to stay alive, but my question would be: do they have to do so in an unethical manner? I'm guessing no, but they choose to take the easy way out, which will ultimately be their demise as customers educate themselves and figure out what's going on.
1.
Dioxane Dioxane is a synthetic derivative of coconut and is widely used in skincare products today.
It usually contains very high amounts of 1,4-dioxane, which is easily absorbed through your skin.
The really shocking fact is that 1,4-dioxane is considered to cause cancer by the State of California.
2.
Mineral Oils Mineral oils come with different names, such as liquid paraffin, petrolatum and paraffin wax, just to name a few.
They coat your skin, keep moisture in, but they do it in an unnatural manner which clogs your pores.
This can cause premature aging, dry skin, acne and problems with your body because it cannot eliminate toxins through the pores.
3.
Fragrances The term fragrance is tricky, because it can refer to 4,000 separate ingredients, many of which are carcinogenic and toxic.
While fragrances may smell good, they have been proven to cause problems with your central nervous system, cause depression, irritability and a host of other problems.
