TOXINS GET IN THROUGH OUR SKIN AND HAIR!!!!

Personal Care

Like the toxic tagalongs  in nutritional products, there are numerous toxic tagalongs in skin care products that need to be avoided to maximize health and wellness.

Great Skin Care without the Toxic Tagalongs

Most of the skin care products on the market contain toxic chemicals (even the so called natural ones). The Premier Line (www.mygreenlady.com) has an advanced charged herbal particle technology instead of the chemical add-ons. These highly charged herbal particles polarize your own skin cells to a much higher electron spin state. This means the uptake of nutrients into the cells is magnified 100 times greater than ordinary creams. What makes skin truly healthy and radiant is great nutrition.

Eight Chemicals in Skin & Hair Products that You Should NEVER Use!!!

1. 1. Propylene Glycol – This is a cheap petrochemical used as an emulsifying base in creams and lotions to make the skin look smooth, but ultimately it ages the skin faster. The Material Safety Data Sheet tells you to avoid skin contact with it because it is a skin irritant. It can denature the skin’s protein, leading to poor aging skin. It can be absorbed through your skin and potentially cause allergic reactions and liver and kidney damage.
2. 2. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) - This is a harsh, caustic detergent and is used because it is cheap and suds well. It is used as an engine degreaser and a garage floor cleaner but you’ll also find it in shampoo, soap, facial cleanser, etc. Research shows that SLS has a degenerative effect on the cell membranes and denatures protein such as in hair or skin. This can damage skin or hair, leading to aged skin and poor hair. SLS can corrode hair follicles and inhibit hair growth, continuing a hair loss pattern.

SLS has the potential to cause cataracts (through skin absorption, even without direct contact with the eyes. SLS can denature protein of the eyes and delay the healing time of the eyes. From skin contact, SLS can be absorbed into your circulation system and concentrate in your organs such as your heart, liver or brain. This is potentially dangerous since SLS is a mutagen. (In others words harmfully altering your genetics or DNA)

1. 3. Fragrance – When the word “fragrance” is listed on the label, it means a synthetic fragrance made in a test tube from any of over 200 chemicals. These “fragrance” chemicals, which bio-accumulate in your organs, can cause many symptoms, such as headaches, lung problems, skin irritations, dizziness, memory impairment , rash, hyper-pigmentation, vomiting, even potential brain damage and more. They are cheap, toxic imitations of real herbal scents.
2. 4. Mineral Oil – This cheap petroleum-based oil clogs the skin’s pores and enlarges them, leading to poor, saggy skin. It decreases the ability of the skin cells to exchange nutrients and waste products. Those allergic to petroleum products may develop skin irritations.
3. 5. Parabens (Propyl, Methyl, Butyl or Ethyl) – these cheap preservatives are used to inhibit microbial growth in skin care or hair care products even though they are known to be highly toxic. They have caused many allergic reactions and skin reactions.
4. 6. Imidazolidinyl and Diazolidinyl Urea – These are the most commonly used preservatives after the parabens. They are an established cause of contact dermatitis (American Academy of Dermatology) and release formaldehyde which is toxic and a known carcinogen.
5. 7. Synthetic Colors – Synthetic colors are used in skin and hair care products to make them colorful. Avoid them at all costs like a plague, along with hair dyes ( with the exception of some henna products) They can cause allergy, skin and nerve problems. Synthetic colors are labeled as DK&C or D&C followed by a number and color.
6. 8. Triethanolamine (TEA) is often used in the base of a product and to adjust the pH. TEA causes allergic reactions including eye problems, dryness of hair and skin, and can be toxic if absorbed into the body over time.

It needs to be considered whether just trying to obtain a radiant look or recover and/or maintain health, the wrong type of skin care products can undermine the whole process.
