Figuring out what is best for your skin is usually down to a process of elimination for most people. But this can be very expensive, and can cause major skin upsets. It can even be ultimately inconclusive…
Our skin changes with our hormones and stress levels. It also behaves differently in different climates around the world as well as the different seasons.
It also responds to other products we use, like laundry detergent, household cleaning products, as well as perfumes etc etc…
Toxic Skincare Ingredients
Believe it or not, perfumes are bad news, and we all have a reaction to them eventually, but you may not equate the reaction to the use of your perfume, and will likely go on a medical wild goose chase instead of nipping the problem in the bud. Perfumes include fragrances we find in candles and air fresheners as well as the personal skincare products, which are scented, and the perfumes we spray on our skin. But fragrances in candles and air fresheners tend to be even worse for us than the perfumes we wear on our skin.
Fragrances in skincare products are causing increasing numbers of us to break out or have an allergic reaction of some other kind. Some even cause Asthma in some people!
Can you believe artificial fragrances place such a toxic burden on our bodies that we will start to put on weight and won’t be able to lose it again until we eliminate the toxins from our body? You can read more about that here: Weight Gain & Resistant Weight Loss.
These toxins will also affect your skin condition in a negative way, and may also make you allergic to other toxic products… and there are plenty of those in the skincare world.
Avoiding Toxic Ingredients In Skincare Products
Here’s some of the toxic ingredients to look out for: Skincare Ingredients To Avoid.
Just reading the above list and vowing to never buy a product with any of those ingredients in them again will narrow down your options DRAMATICALLY.
This is the best form of trial and error! Try reading the label and when you find an ingredient you wouldn’t wish upon your worst enemy, add it to the ERROR pile!
Advice From A Skincare Business Owner
I run a small skincare business called Wild As The Wind. I hand blend a couple of facial oils, as well as several massage oils.
Within the information provided on FACIAL OIL No. 2, the Wild As The Wind leading face oil, it becomes clear what happens after we have been exposed to too many toxic substances:
FACIAL OIL No. 2 is the most popular Wild As The Wind face oil. It has been tested on thousands of people with only a small handful of people, (single figures), who have had any kind of a reaction to it. These individuals are, sadly, highly likely to be hypersensitive due to undiagnosed allergies etc.
The allergies referred to usually have two main causes. These are, over-exposure to toxic substances via chemical cleaning products and products which incorporate artificial fragrance and perfume etc, or, there is a direct allergy to the essential oils themselves due to excessive use, usually from using essential oils undiluted for years, which has resulted in hypersensitivity.
**Obviously, excessive use of undiluted essential oils is very much advised against, but sadly some people are not given this advice, or they do not heed it.
There is, of course, the little known complication of adulterated essential oils. Sadly, as many as 98% of essential oils have been adulterated in one way or another. Using, adulterated essential oils can result in toxic allergies also.
Everyone Can Wear Very Healing Skincare Products
So, why can all but a handful of people use FACIAL OIL No. 2 to great effect? The answer is simple…
It’s because beautifully formulated skincare products are suitable for ALL SKIN TYPES!
FACIAL OIL No. 2 is formulated to be anti-ageing and anti-Acne, but it has successfully been used to get rid of all of the following:
