Many women wear make-up every day. It enhances appearance and can add confidence. However many cosmetics and skin care preparations contain carcinogenic ingredients. Foundation creams often contain bentonite which is used to put out fires.It suffocates
flames so that oxygen can't get through to inflame
fire. In skincare preparations bentonite suffocates
skin, stopping it from breathing.
Liquid foundations may contain mineral oil which is a potential carcinogenic.
Most of us use a moisturiser every day on our skin in
hope of improving our skin and protecting it from
elements. However
majority of them contain molecules that are to large to enter
pores of
skin. As a result these creams sit on
surface of
skin gradually blocking
pores and glands.
The sweat glands are unable to work properly and
oil glands can't drain effectively resulting in
build up of toxins and bacteria in
skin. This in turn can cause black heads, spots and a dull complexion.
Propylene glycol is also commonly found in skincare products. It's a cosmetic form of mineral oil found in industrial antifreeze, and brake fluid. It acts as a moisture retainer by preventing
escape of water or moisture from
skin.
Material data safety sheets warn against skin contact with propylene glycol as it can be an iritant and cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.
You would be better off drinking 2 litres of water a day to rehydrate
skin than spending a fortune on some of these expensive moisturisers.
