Normally, when I go shopping for beauty products, I will take my iPhone with me. Why is that, you may ask? To be honest with you, many of the beauty products on the market are dangerous and contain harmful ingredients. Just because a product is beautifully packaged does not mean it is safe for your skin. I am all about preventing breakouts and premature wrinkles, so I began using my iPhone to look up beauty products to see if they had safe ingredients.
A specific resource that I found will let you know what impact the ingredients within certain products have on your skin. For instance, it will tell you if the ingredients cause cancer, reproductive issues, FDA violations, allergy issues, or toxicity in the skin. This all sounds very scary, but this is the reality of purchasing products on the market. As an example, a L’Oreal mascara on the market has ingredients linked to cancer, reproductive problems, allergies, and toxins in the body. This means that it could potentially irritate the skin, contaminate, or cause cellular level changes. If you have ever looked at an ingredient list on a product and wondered why it is so long and confusing, it could mean that it is not good for your skin!
