Most of today's "skin care" products have synthetic ingredients and petrochemicals. One might say that having these ingredients in constant contact with the human body is not optimum as these ingredients to varying degrees can be absorbed into the skin, body and the body's organs.
One could also say that the skin is the most expansive organ of the body and effects on the skin can be created by what is put on it from the outside and what is taken into the body. Have you ever seen the affect that being a heavy smoker can create on the skin. Heavy wrinkles and general aging are visible signs.
If one creates a highly acidic environment within the body from high intake of foods such as those containing sugars and white flour it has been said this can make it more difficult for the body and its cells to take in nutrients. One can treat his body poorly over the years and you will be able to see the price they are paying in their skin. And then one can do more unnatural things like take other drugs or medicines to correct it or get a face lift, but getting back to proper care in general for the body where one is educating oneself on what is healthy is another alternative.
If one were to go into the typical family's home in America and examine the different cosmetic products, one may find up to 25 products which can have hundreds of different chemicals. The question is, what effects do these chemicals have on the body and skin? There has been research done on some of them, however the testing of products which are applied externally are not as strict or intensive as the products one takes internally, so just because someone is allowed to sell them does not necessarily mean that they are safe and that you would want to put them on your face or bath your baby in them day after day, year after year. Do some research yourself and find out more about the products you use.
Something might be said about organic foods without chemicals and pesticides and drinking lots of water and the positive effects this can have on the body and skin to make them hydrate properly.
This information is not designed to be a scientific or medical authority on such matters but only to point out that there are other options to the many food and skin care products on the market today which may be sold and making someone a profit, but in actual fact are not always in the best interest of the consumer.
There are websites out there that give information about safe cosmetics such as http://www.safecosmetics.org. I hope the information above can act as a guideline in the way to approach skin care and general body health. Doing your own research is always advisable.
