What Type Of Products To Look For That Are Environmentally Safe

What Type Of Products To Look For That Are Environmentally Safe
By Carol Bjork

Are you among the growing American population that is becoming more and more environmentally conscious? Are you recycling paper, aluminum, and cardboard? Are you driving or considering buying an electric car to help the world population treat the earth better? If so, how are you treating yourself? Have you ever given that a thought? Are you treating yourself as well as you are the environment? Do you realize your environment extends to your home and can affect your health? Are you aware that medicines exist that are applied to the skin? If something is put deliberately on the skin for medicinal purposes and your body absorbs it, do you think that just maybe your skin can absorb bad things too?

Have you been keeping track of all the problems with products from China? Take it upon yourself to protect yourself!

Why not use products that work great and treat you well as well as the environment when they get into waste water. If we all took the time to use products that are naturally occurring (and still safe), we could reduce the chemicals in our drinking water so why not use them? Here is a partial list of types of products you can choose to use to help yourself and the world:

• Household cleaners
• Cosmetics
• Skin care
• Laundry soap
• Antiperspirant/deodorant
• Dish soap
• Toothpaste
• Shampoo/conditioner
• Hair dye
• Hand soap
• Lotion
• Body Soap

You may not be aware how many products actually exist that you can use that are natural and/or botanically based. Here is just one area of products that you can consciously add to your daily life.

SKIN CARE

Are you among most other women wanting to fight wrinkles and aging skin without using injections or surgery?

Let's talk about the products we use

• Mineral oil is the #1 most used ingredient in American Skin Care.
• Mineral oil is crude oil (motor oil) that has been through 7 filtration steps.
• Mineral oil is cited in research as a leading cause in aging the appearance of skin.
• Mineral oil provides nothing in the way of nutrition.
• Mineral oil's molecules are too large to penetrate the pores so it just sits on the surface of the skin trapping in dirt and bacteria. It is like putting plastic wrap on your skin.

The purpose of your skin is to be a vehicle to move moisture in and toxins out of the body. Interfering with this process hinders your skin from functioning properly, thus aging the skin. The loss of collagen and elastin is what causes wrinkles and sagging skin.

RESOLUTION: Collagen cannot be applied on the skin because the skin cannot absorb it so the only way to get it back is to inject it unless products are used to help the skin build it.

The internal production of collagen smooths out facial lines, wrinkles, and scars by replenishing the natural support layer beneath the skin.

SUMMARY: Combat aging issues with:

• Ingredients that promote the production of collagen and elastin.
• Ingredients that increase skin thickness so it can hold moisture reducing lines and wrinkles.
• Ingredient and antioxidants that work to promote new healthy skin cells.
• Use products designed to target problem areas and avoid the healthy ones.

This is just one ingredient in skin care that should be avoided for optimal results. Take charge of your own life and use what is best for you and for the world.
