Cosmetics And Teenage Girls Spells Danger

A new study links chemicals in cosmetics with hormones in teenage girls.

It’s not news to you if you’re a regular reader of this website that mainstream skin care products and cosmetics contain dangerous ingredients.  We’ve talked before about the nasty ingredients and chemicals in cosmetics. However here’s a new study.

It links cosmetic use with dangerous chemicals that may disrupt the hormones of maturing teenage girls. The Environmental Working Group tested the urine of girls aged between 14 and 20 and found that there was chemicals from 4 families of chemicals in EVERY sample tested.

The chemical families are Phthalates, Parabens, Musks and Triclosan.

And some of these chemicals have been linked to possible disruption of hormones in girls.

So really there’s a giant trial going on to see if these chemicals found in cosmetics and skin care products are dangerous to the hormonal development of our daughters, and everyone else who uses cosmetics and skin care products. It’s unregulated and no one really knows what the results will be, but if it turns out that having these chemicals in our cosmetics is dangerous to our children, (and of course us too) then it’s too late.

Luckily there are both safe cosmetics and safe skin care products available using natural non toxic ingredients. Luckily too, they work extremely well and are very price competitive.

Anti Aging Isn’t Just About Skin Care

Everyone associates anti aging with looking good.

Anti aging, it’s a bit of a buzz word really. However it’s not entirely clear what anti aging is really.

Is anti aging really just about skin care? Is it just about looking younger? Well, less old perhaps, short of cosmetic surgery or botox there’s not a lot you can do to look younger, just to slow up the process that ages our skin.

There we go again. Talking about the look of our skin. That’s really only a part of anti aging, there’s a lot more to it than that.

Our philosophy is that anti aging is just that, a philosophy. It’s a total approach to life that makes the most of what we have in life, and health.

To make the most of life we need to be healthy. To live life to the full we need to be healthy. To age slowly we need to be healthy. To look our best and have great looking skin we need to be healthy.

Anti aging is about health, including skin health. It’s about making sure our bones aren’t being weakened by osteoporosis. Making sure we aren’t getting diabetes from too much sugar in our diet. Making sure our insides are healthy by drinking plenty of water, eating plenty of fruit and vegetables and taking top shelf nutritional supplements.

Anti aging is about getting plenty of exercise so we are fit and healthy and ready for anything that comes our way. Read the rest of this entry
