If you want to protect your skin from harm, then this is something that you need to know. Firstly, keep in mind that the majority of over-the-counter products to date use harsh chemicals that can directly affect the health of your skin.
As a San Antonio makeup artist, I do advocate the use of organic products through natural skin care. When using average over-the-counter products, you have the potential of applying over 200 chemicals to your skin on a daily basis. From there, 60% of those same chemicals can be absorbed directly into your bloodstream, which will affect your circulatory system. You need to especially be on the lookout if you have sensitive skin or skin allergies.
Many of the same over-the-counter products do contain synthetic ingredients, such as parabens, which have incredibly harmful effects on the skin. For example, lanolin is a common over the counter ingredient that comes from sheep’s wool, and it can be full of pesticides. That is something that you do not want to put on your skin!
For a product to be certified as organic, it must have at least 95% organic and natural ingredients. Do your skin a favor by looking for these natural products to protect your beautiful complexion!
