Being a student of chemistry I know what goes into each of our daily beauty products and they have their own harms.
SLS may be carcinogenic, so avoid it:
We all like a nice bath but be careful. Don’t you all love the white foam the mass of lather that surrounds you but beware because what causes the lather is called sodium lauryl sulfate. It washes down to rivers and oceans and gets into the endocrine of aquatic life. Over weeks and months they accumulate and finally they end up in our stomachs through the food chain.
There was a case when the birds which ate those fish could not get any progeny because their egg shells were thinned. They also don not bio degrade soon. Using SLS repeatedly is said to have carcinogenic effects.
Instead you can use soaps without SLS.
Nail polish only looks good:
Lacquered nails only look good. In my case they induce a mild headache but there are also other ill effects. Stay away from polishes that employ formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate and toluene. They cause dermatitis, disrupt hormones (and cause head aches to me.) Some alternatives to colour your nails are trying the Indian Mehndi.
Avoid products that have fragrance:
When it comes to fragrant products they have fixatives which use phthalates. Phthalates used in some fragrances and have been linked to breast and liver cancers and the disruption of male and female reproductive systems.
Reduce your dependence:
We have been suggesting various alternatives to the chemical products that we all use everyday. From cleaners to moisturizers there are herbal products that can save the day. SO choose wisely!
What can you do to look better?
Some tips and tricks and herbal choices if used can make you look better and also not harm your skin.
There needs to be made some sacrifices to make a healthy living and it should start from reducing your dependence on chemicals first.
I use coconut oil for softening my lips and the knuckles of my foot. They work just as the chemicals that you get but are not harmful in any way.
Limit the usage of soap and shampoo on your hair. What soap does is that it sucks all the natural oil in your body and shampoos have SLS.
We have multiple recipes to make your own soap, cleansers,moisturizers and even bathing salts. SO make your own.
Eat lots of citrus fruits: Citrus fruits give the body the ability to manufacture collagen which supports our skin. More collagen means healthier looking skins. They will work wonders.
Apple cider Vinegar: They help break down the fat deposits that accumulate under the skin and also remove the layer of dead skin. Add it in your salad.
Green tea is a bag of health benefits. It will help reduce the risk of skin cancer and has lots of other goodies like a direct impact on weight loss and improved digestion.
