The Disadvantages of Using Synthetic Beauty Products


Skincare products we use may contain some harmful toxins which can be linked to allergies, headaches, joint pains, hormonal imbalances and even cancer . Some of these may even cause depression or even makes your skin problem worst.

So this is why most people are advocating for organic beauty products. These products ae safer, healthier for your skin, kinder to the environment and also makes more sense...Remember the adage "what you put on your body will manifest itself" ...Putting on harmful stuff will definitely give you problems but going green and organic wont do harm...

Now, lets talk about these harmful chemicals in synthetic skin care products:

* Synthetic Fragrance: The synthetic fragrances can block the ability of human cells to clear themselves of other substances that could be much more toxic than the fragrances. Exposure to chemical fragrances could compromise the transporters, making it easier for pollutants to enter the brain. Isn't that alarming? One problem for consumers trying to avoid synthetic fragrances is that only the word "fragrance" appears on the label as a rule. The actual chemical compound is rarely listed.

According to the Labor Environment Alliance Society's blog " the concerns about the environmental impact of synthetic fragrances first surfaced about 10 years ago in Japan and Europe as they were picking up pharmaceutical and personal care products in the wastewater flowing into rivers. As found in the result of research conducted by Epel Lab at Hopkins Marine Station. In Japan they discovered they are somewhat persistent - they don't break down.

I would definitely agree that no matter how little is the concentration of any synthetic fragrance , its still enough to cause any kind of damage to our skin. It is therefore never safe to use any kind of it. Better go for prevention than go for the costly cures...We never know what it may bring to us. As previously said, these harmful toxins can cause many unwanted effects.
