Old habits die hard, right?
Many of us have favorite skincare and beauty products that are our go-to’s. Unfortunately, the drugstore staples that we have been using for years could actually be doing more harm than good. One of the things that we encourage women to focus on when it comes to their self-care journey is to get educated about the products we apply to our skin and put into our body. After all, when you know better, you can do better!
Did you know that your skin is your largest organ, and it only takes 56 seconds for it to absorb product? The choice is up to you whether that product is beneficial or harmful. Many of the ingredients in products that are sitting on your vanity can also be found inside the engine of your car … yuck!
Transitioning into clean skincare is one of the most effective ways you can improve your overall well-being or jump start your focus on self-care. But how do you know which ingredients to avoid in the products that you buy? Here’s a roundup of some of the most common harmful ingredients found in cosmetics and skincare today:
The Environmental Working Group or EWG (link here if you would like to link to the website: https://www.ewg.org/) is also an excellent resource to help you evaluate how unhealthy your everyday skin care and beauty items may be. The EWG’s focus is to help empower people to live healthier lives, and one of their key issues is to promote cosmetics that are free of harmful chemicals that have been linked to cancer and reproductive harm. You can check their website to see if the products you use are EWG Certified™ here (link https://www.ewg.org/ewgverified/personal-care.php).
Start your transition in to clean skincare now! Empty your drawers, makeup bags and cabinets to see if any of your everyday products contain harmful ingredients and tell them good-bye. It’s a great first step on the journey to a naturally beautiful you!
