if so, would it still work if i cleansed my face first?
please and thankyou!!
I wouldn't use it because it has propylene glycol, and a bunch of parabens in it...
Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?:
* Mineral Oil, Paraffin & Petrolatum – Petroleum products coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatological issues, like slowing cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer & Disruptive of hormonal activity.
* PARABENS – Such as methyl- propyl- butyl- & ethyl- parabens: Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
* Phenol carbolic acid – Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.
* Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, may inhibit skin cell growth, and is a skin irritant and sensitizer.
* Acrylamide – Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.
* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) – Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived" - and is found in many popular body washes and toothpastes!
* Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.
* WAXES – Such as Paraffin, Candelilla Wax, Carnuba Wax: Waxes are widely used in cleansing creams, eye creams, and moisturizers. Waxes clog pores, creating blackheads and whiteheads. They also smother the skin, which over time creates an enlarged pore problem.
* Lanolin – A yellow, semi-solid, fatty secretion from sheep’s wool is widely used in skin and beauty care products. It can cause an allergic reaction in some people, as well as enlarged pores.
* Acetone – Used in nail polish and nail polish removers, this colorless, volatile liquid is often used in astringents, fresheners, or clarifying lotions. It is extremely toxic and will dehydrate the skin, while speeding up the aging process.
* ALCOHOLS – Such as Isopropyl Alcohol, SD Alcohol 40, Ethyl Alcohol: Alcohols dissolve the body’s natural moisturizers and strip the skin of its protection, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Alcohols destroy skin’s pH balance, and since they absorb water, they speed up wrinkling.
* FD&C – When this abbreviation precedes the name of a color, it means that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has certified it as safe for use in drugs and cosmetics, but not food. D&C colors are usually synthetic, coal tar colors. They’re toxic and should be avoided when at all possible.
* Dioxane – Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin. Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”. Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.
IF SO, you should throw them away IMMEDIATELY and Tell ALL your friends and family!!! (Extra-virgin olive and/or coconut oils are great alternative moisturizers, and they contain natural sunscreens, until you find something else without these toxins) Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!!!!
Cheapskate Alert: How to make your own Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
How to Use Deep Action Cleansing & Hydrating Masks
How to use deep action cleansing & hydrating masks is important when it comes to proper skin care. Using the right cleansing and hydrating masks for womens is as important. Let's look at how and what to use for younger looking skin.
I’ve always loved deep cleansing masks, but without exception, they were all difficult to remove. They dried to a hard crust that required excessive scrubbing. That was okay when I was younger, but now it causes redness and irritation, sometimes even causing bleeding.
You see, as we get older, our skin becomes thinner and more easily damaged. I thought that my days of deep cleansing masks were over, until I tried a product that my supplement company put out.
It seemed kind of strange at first that a health supplement company would make skincare products, but then I realized that it is the skin’s health that we are trying to protect and remove. Personal hygiene and healthy are closely connected.
The company also has a deep hydrating mask that is truly refreshing. If you want to really clean out your pores and keep your skin moist and firm. You’ve got to try these products. Here’s a little info about the ingredients they contain. And, don’t worry. They don’t dry to a hard crust. They are actually quite easy to remove.
The Cleansing Mask
The key ingredients in this mask are extracts from a special kind of mineral rich clay found in the Alps of Southern New Zealand. Clay masks have long been valued for their ability to absorb excessive oils and pull grime out of the pores. The problem was; how do you keep it from drying out on a person’s skin?
They did that by adding macadamia oil and Shea butter. Those two are beneficial to the skin’s health, as well. Macadamia is easily absorbed by the skin and proven to have a protective anti-aging effect on the skin’s cells. Shea butter is made from the fruit kernel of the Shea tree. It softens and soothes inflammation, is rich in vitamin A, E and essential fatty acids.
Another key ingredient is active manuka honey. If you haven’t heard of manuka, you have to check it out. All varieties of honey have been recommended for health skin, for thousands of years. Manuka is special. Scientists have evaluated it for antibacterial and antioxidant activity. It is now recognized as unique. It is included in the mask for a number of reasons.
The Deep Hydrating Mask
The company recommends that you use these masks on alternating weeks. So, twice a month you cleanse, twice a month, you moisturize. One of the key ingredients in the hydrating mask is called RIGIN, which is similar to the youth hormone DHEA, but shows better results in clinical trials.
If your neck has started to sag, the combined ingredients in the mask can increase the firmness of your neck by as much as 82%. RIGIN increases firmness by 40%. The other 42% comes from an ingredient known as Functional Keratin. It is the closest thing to an anti-aging miracle that the world has ever seen.
After using these products for a month, I saw my face looking better than it had in years. I’m sure you’ll agree.
