Hopefully many of you will agree that beauty goes much deeper than just the surface skin, and that indeed beauty also comes from within. However – do we bear this in mind when we rub lotions and potions onto our skin? Do we consider that these lotions are absorbed on a much deeper level than just our surface skin? This month Caroline King of Elysium Heavenly Treatments provides information on why we should consider switching to natural and organic skin care products.
Why natural and organic is best
Most skin care products contain “parabens”, which are a group of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Parabens are effective preservatives in many types of formulas, but have also been linked to disease - breast cancer in particular.
What products should concern you the most?
Anything applied that remains on your skin. These have more time to penetrate and enter your bloodstream. Items such as; lotions, cosmetics, antiperspirants or deodorants, and sunscreen. Other items such as soap, shower gels, cleansers and shampoo and conditioners, are all rinsed off and are therefore of less concern.
Caroline King @ Elysium heavenly treatments stocks a wide range of organic natural products, which they are happy to post out to you. Watch this space each month for some of Caroline’s recommendations – or contact them directly for more information.
