Did you know how thin your skin is and how the right face cream for sensitive skin is so important ? Read on, if you don’t! As regards the thickness of skin, it is in fact as thin as one tenth of an inch. That is what separates it from the outer enemies of toxins, pollutants, contaminants, medicines and chemicals in cosmetics.
Our skin is also capable of absorbing all sorts of things and that is the main reason why we use medicine patches. But there are many other things that we should not be absorbing at all.
We all know from dermatologists reports that the greatest cause of contact dermatitis is a result of unwelcome chemicals in all the personal care products we are using every day. It is a sad fact that very few of these have been properly tested for safety so we really are in the jungle here.
This was brought home to us when Dr. Epstein’s landmark publication called ‘Toxic Beauty’ was published a few years ago. We learnt so many shocking facts about our toxic personal care products from that book. The average consumer who uses cosmetics and personal care products is liable to absorb up to 5 lbs of chemicals a year!
Look at the video below entitled ‘Try To Be Pretty Without Poisoning Yourself’ and you will realize that many companies are still putting lead in lipstick and getting away with it!
So, it is an uphill struggle to find face cream for sensitive skin, given that for normal skin, it is a minefield!
As we said we need to weed out the nasties and avoid them completely. We should then look for organic ingredients which are derived from plants, flowers and seeds. We need to know that they are not heavily processed and whatever processing is done, it is according to GMPpractices.
These are the ingredients which must be in any face cream for sensitive skin and there are no ifs or buts about this. Our good health and wellbeing depend on it.
